His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 335

Evadne didn't feel embarrassed, if anything, she felt insulted on behalf of Avery.

She was a woman of clear sentiments, but she never looked down on anyone or treated anyone with scorn. That was not how she was raised.

"No biggie, if we're not allowed in, we can come back when it's open. Let's go."

Evadne didn't want to cause any trouble for Avery. She casually suggested, "If you want to ride, you can come to my family's ranch. It's pretty much the same."

Just as she was about to leave, Avery grabbed her hand, squeezing it gently, "Evadne, don't go. We need to get in there tonight."

Evadne's fingers twitched as she instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but she couldn't.

Avery's tone was firm.

She had never seen this assertive side of him since they reconnected.

The two bouncers exchanged a look before one of them said coldly, "You better leave now, or don't blame us for being rude. Mr. Byron is entertaining guests inside, no riff-raff allowed."

Evadne was close to rolling her eyes to the heavens.

Riff-raff? They probably haven't brushed their teeth, otherwise their words wouldn't stink so bad.

"Oh, is that so?"

Avery, however, remained composed. He stepped forward, "What if I insist on going in?"

"Are you looking for trouble?"

One of the bouncers glared at him, ready to shove Avery away.

To his surprise, before his hand could even touch Avery's shirt, he felt a blur before his eyes, and then a sharp pain in his arm, followed by a scream!

Evadne's eyes widened, as she watched Avery perform a clean shoulder throw, sending the bouncer crashing to the ground, unable to get up.

The other bouncer, seeing this, charged at Avery.

Another scream, another broken bone.

"Evadne, let's go." Avery pulled out a pristine white handkerchief from his pocket, delicately wiping his hands, his voice gentle towards Evadne.

His demeanor was of an educated gentleman, as if the brute force displayed earlier had nothing to do with him.

Evadne was speechless.

Avery pressed his lips together, his expression tender. He reached for her hand again, leading her away without a second glance.

"Wait, wait! Who, who are you?" The bouncer on the ground asked in pain.

Avery paused, chuckling lightly, "My last name is Chambers."

The two bouncers paled in shock.

Meanwhile, Thaddeus, unable to reach Evadne, was growing anxious in his luxurious car.

"Mr. Thaddeus, can't you get a hold of Mrs. Abernathy?" Gordon was equally anxious.

"Yes. Even though she despises me, she never ignores my calls."

Thaddeus gripped his phone tightly, his palm sweating nervously, his eyes filled with worry. "Gordon, did I do something wrong again to upset her? I've had some memory issues since my head injury. Can you help me recall if I said or did anything wrong?"

Looking at the anxious CEO, who was a total contrast to the confident business tycoon he usually was, Gordon was astounded.

"Uh, you haven't seen Mrs. Abernathy these days, so you didn't have a chance to upset her, right?"

Gordon scratched his head, trying to think. "Hey, could it be that Mrs. Abernathy had a dream last night, dreaming about the past grievances you've caused her, and she woke up more and more angry, so she decided to ignore you?"

Thaddeus looked at him, unimpressed. "A dream?"

Gordon put on a knowing face, "I once dated a girl in college who would always dream about me. One day, she dreamed that I was cheating on her and made a fuss about it the whole day! We broke up not long after!"

Thaddeus's handsome face darkened, "Do you think my wife would be like those ungrateful women you know?"

Gordon broke into a cold sweat realizing he said the wrong thing. He bowed his head, "I dare not, sir!"

Thaddeus was filled with worry. He sighed.

How could he control what she dreams about?

However, he had indeed been a beast in the past, probably leaving a deep scar in Evadne's heart.

"Or you could try reaching out to President Ashbourne. We've been told that Mrs. Abernathy has returned to Skyrim, so her brother must know where Mrs. Abernathy is!" Gordon, trying to be helpful, suggested a possible solution.

Thaddeus glanced at him coldly, "As the CEO of the Abernathy Group, I can't find a single person and I have to make a call to her family? What if Cassius doesn't know either? Am I supposed to call all her brothers one by one? Get out, don't bother me."

"Yes, yes. I'll take my leave!"

Knowing that Thaddeus was in a bad mood, Gordon quietly retreated.

The moment the door closed, Thaddeus picked up his phone and dialed Cassius's number.

"Mr. Thaddeus, how's your injury?" Cassius's voice was calm, giving nothing away.

"President Ashbourne, is Evadne with you?" Thaddeus's voice was tinged with urgency.

"Evadne isn't with me. What, Mr. Thaddeus, can't you reach my sister?"

Thaddeus took a deep breath, "She's not answering my calls. I've called her several times, but she didn't answer."

"Oh, that's normal."

Thaddeus was silent.

"I'm not sure where Evadne went either. She's not a child anymore. She doesn't need to report everything to me. There was a time when she didn't contact the family for years because of you."

"Because of me, she didn't contact her family for years? Why?" Thaddeus was taken aback, he probed further.

Cassius realized he had misspoke and quickly changed the subject, "Mr. Thaddeus, is there an emergency with Evadne? Is your head feeling uncomfortable?"

"No. I'm just worried about her."

"There's no need to worry. Evadne always knows what's best for her, and she knows how to protect herself. She'll appear when she wants to find you, if you can't find her it only means one thing: she doesn't want to see you for now."
