His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 427

The phone in Thaddeus‘ hand buzzed, it was a call from Gordon.

“Mr. Thaddeus! Everything is set! Tonight at seven, prime time, every news station will be broadcasting

Ward’s arrest, I’m certain Elspeth will see it!”

“Good.”

Thaddeus‘ lips curved into a satisfied smirk. “Afterwards, keep an eye on Elspeth and the situation at

the prison. If anything changes, get in touch with Evadne and me immediately.”

“Roger that, Mr. Thadaddeus!”

Gordon hesitated for a moment, then blurted out. “Congrats on getting back together with Mrs.

Abemathy, Mr. Thaddeus. I hope you’ll keep her happy from now on, treat her like the queen that she

is. Make sure you make up for those lost three years!”

Before Thaddeus could reply, Gordon cheekily hung up.

Thaddeus‘ brows furrowed.

That little rascal, he dared to hang up on him!

And what was all that blabbering about? Was he trying to teach him how to behave?

Evadne coughed and blushed, “I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but your assistant’s

voice w

was just too loud, like a broken gong.”

“I have no secrets from you, you can know anything you want.”

Thaddeus‘ lips curled into a half–smile, his voice husky and indulgent, “Next time fil put him on speaker,

so he can apologize directly to you, Mrs. Abernathy.”

“Let’s not. We should still give each other some privacy!

Evadne’s eyes sparkled as she retorted, “And who is your Mrs. Abamathy? All I have is a divorce

certificate, no marriage certificate “Who else could it be but the lovely Ms. Ashbourne?”

Thaddeus took her hand, gently kissed the back of it, his eyes filled with tendemess and longing, “As

long as you’re willing, I can promise you a lifetime of love and happiness.”

“Hmph, as if I care.”

Evadne’s delicate hand was gently held by his, her heart seemed to flutter, and even her ears gradually

turned red.

Thaddeus‘ eyes were filled with desire, unsatisfied with just holding her, he passionately sealed her lips

with his, greedily savoring every bit of sweetness.

Evadne was by no means a woman of lust, but every time she got close to this man, she felt a surge of

emotion, her eyes filled with a misty haze, tiny beads of sweat on her nose, her body turned to jelly,

and all her senses were shut down.

Seeing Thaddeus getting more and more bold, Evadne abruptly held his hand that was wandering

under her dress, feeling as if she was touching a hot iron, “You had Gordon contact the media to report

Ward’s arrest to provoke Elspeth, didn’t you?”

“Smart.” Thaddeus‘ eyes narrowed, his palm caressing her smooth skin.

“So, you’re sure that Elspeth will fall for your trap? What if she remains calm and doesn’t react?”

Evadne’s body tingled with his touch, her hands trembling slightly on his broad shoulders

“We shouldn’t miss any possibilities or opportunities, you taught me that, Evadne Thaddeus‘ voice was

husky and charming.

“Well, I think I can add some fuel to the fire.”

Evadne’s voice was sweet and soft, her finger tracing his jaw, her smile cunning

Thaddeus knew, his cunning wife had another idea.

At seven o’clock that evening, every news channel reported the news of the shooting, if not the first,

then the second.

Ward’s arrest was publicized, and in the video Thaddeus gave to the media, Ward’s face was clearly

visible, exposed to the public!

At the same time, the news of an innocent young girl losing her life in the shooting was also making

headlines, causing a massive public outcry!

The citizens left messages on the official website and trending topics, angrily condemning Ward’s

atrocities!

Elmsworth, known as the safest city in the country, had a shooting! It was unbelievable!

Some people commented, [This Ward was a monster Worse than a beast! He deserves the harshest

punishment by law, to bring justice to the innocent girl! Don’t let the people lose faith!]

Usually when news broke, the victim’s photo was always exposed, while the assailant’s face was

blurred it was a mystery

[This time the media did a great job, such beasts should be exposed for the public to see their

disgusting faces! Even if he hasnt been sentenced to death yet, he’s already socially dead!)

[Poor little girl, lost her life at such a young age. It’s so heartbreaking!]

[Now that the murderer is brought to justice, the girl’s spirit in heaven must be relieved.]

Originally, the public opinion was all focused on attacking Ward.

And just then, a few messages quietly mixed into the comment section, like stones thrown into a lake,

causing a ripple effect.

[Do you guys know who this Ward is?]

People were puzzled.

According to an insider, Ward is Elspeth’s bodyguard, has been working for her for many years, and the

Abernathy family knew all about it)

People were shocked. Elspeth’s man?

Moreover, it was said that Ward had a complicated background, he was a mercenary in Country T, and

had killed people]

[Surprisingly, his past was completely whitewashed when he started working for Elspeth, and he had

been lurking in the Abernathy Group for so many years. Wow, the power of the rich, even their

bodyguards are ex–mercenaries:]

(Also, the victim was a maid of the Abernathy family, Ward was the Abemathy family’s bodyguard, and

they both served Elspeth. Don’t you guys find anything strange about this?]

The netizens were like awakened, various speculations emerged. Elspeth, who was already socially

dead, was once again dragged out for public trial.

[Is Elspeth some kind of cursed star? Why does everyone around her end up in trouble

I honestly can’t stand the sight of the name Elspeth anymore. Can we just have a bolt of divine justice

to wipe that old witch off the face of the earth?)

[Could it be that the girl found out about Elspeth’s secret affair, and that old hag, afraid of being kicked

out of the Abernathy family and losing her wealth and status, ordered Ward to murder the girl to silence

her?]

The Internet was abuzz with theories, many of which seemed far–fetched, but some eerily close to the

truth.

“Ms. Ashbourne, I’ve spread the word as you instructed.”

Jason was already fit to be discharged from the hospital, but he was staying in a recovery center to

regain his strength. Despite this, he was still doing everything he could to assist Evadne. “Our people

are already spreading the message on social media, and the public sentiment is shifting. I can only

imagine how Elspeth feels now with the finger of suspicion pointing at her.”

Elspeth was up to no good, and she was undoubtedly living in constant feat

Evadne was a master manipulator of public opinion. With a few well–chosen words, she could sway the

masses.

“Jason, I’m sorry for imposing on you while you’re still recovering. But you’re the one who has been

liaising with the PR company, you know the process inside out, and you’re the most efficient.”

“Ms. Ashbourne, please don’t apologize.”

Jason was very serious, yet gentle. “No matter what happens, always remember that I’m there for you.”

“Jason.” Evadne was choked up.

Perhaps it was the recent exposure to romance that had softened her heart. She found herself on the

verge of tears more often than not Blame it on Thaddeus for making her go soft!.

“Besides, I’m getting bored in this recovery center. I could use some work to do. I don’t want to get

senile before my time!”

“I heard Nydia has been visiting your frequently. Are you still bored?” Evadne teased.

“Nydia has been cooking for me every day! My abs are turning into a beer belly!” Jason sighed in mock

despair, but even his sigh was tinged with happiness

“Nydia inherited Myra’s cooking skills. You’re a lucky man.”

Evadne sighed, and after a pause, her tone turned senous. “Once this storm blows over and you’re

fully recovered, I’ll talk to Emeric and Myra about you and Nydia.”

“Our story?” Jason exclaimed, his voice several decibels higher

Evadne smiled at his reaction. “You and Nydia still have a long way to go. You need to know each other

better. But remember, Nydia is a

precious gem in the Ashbourne family. Emeric and Myra will be very cautious in choosing their future

son–in-law. I’m going to put in a good word for you.”

“Ms. Ashbourne. Thank you.” Jason’s voice was choked with emotion.

Evadne waved her hand dismissively. “You’ve been loyal to me and my brother. It’s only right that I

reward you. Besides, I’m also considering Nydia’s happiness. She’s delicate and needs someone who

can protect her. I trust you, Jason.”

“I promise, I truly like Nydia. I swear I will never let her d

down.” Jason’s voice was firm and solemn.

Evadne smiled in satisfaction. “Congratulations to you and Mr. Thaddeus. After all the trials and

tribulations, you are finally together. I wish you both happiness.”

“We will be, Jason. We will all be happy.” Evadne smiled, deeply moved.
