His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 368

The mood suddenly shifted, subtly turning into a tense standoff.

Chasel’s eyes widened as if he'd heard something that deeply wounded his pride. His fair face turned bright red, and after a moment, he choked out, "What?"

"Has Dr. Bright been abroad too long? Have you forgot your mother tongue? Would you like me to translate it for you?" Evadne's beautiful eyes were filled with hidden sharpness, her smile exuding an invisible pressure.

Rarely did women display such a smile.

It held a potent mix of authority and audacity, effectively suppressing Chasel’s free-spirited aura.

"Are you saying that I refused to treat Thaddeus because I couldn’t cure his illness?" Chasel asked through gritted teeth.

"Is there any other explanation?" Evadne shrugged.

"What a joke!"

Chasel angrily slapped the table, "Have you been here for too long? Did you forget that my reputation abroad surpasses even Dr. Eve's? I've consulted on countless complex medical cases, saving numerous lives, even the Grim Reaper would offer me a toast! And you dare say my medical skills are inadequate? That's outrageous!"

Evadne smiled, and merely remained silent, quietly observing his flustered state.

Suddenly, as if realizing something, Chasel leaned back comfortably, his cunning fox-like eyes gleaming with amusement as he looked at her, "Heh, almost fell for your provocation, Ms. Ashbourne. Your strategy may work on others, but I'm not some superficial man who's obsessed with saving face. I won't fall for your tricks."

"Alas, I thought you are a man of great vision. Despite your refusal to treat the wealthy, you must know that Mr. Abernathy is a well-respected businessman. From his tenure as CEO to his current philanthropic endeavors, the charity foundation he established has helped countless people. Surely you've heard of this. Despite this, Dr. Bright, you insist on adhering to your principles. Don't you think you're being too inflexible?"

After Evadne finished speaking, she was taken aback.

She had been divorced for a long time, yet she was still able to effortlessly praise Thaddeus. Even she found it hard to believe.

Stripping away personal feelings, Thaddeus was indeed an excellent manager, practically perfect if not for the emotional aspect.

Otherwise, Evadne wouldn’t have silently loved him tirelessly for so many years. After all, when a woman admired or was grateful to a man, she could become hopelessly attached. Unfortunately for Evadne, she felt both of these emotions for Thaddeus.

That was why she had been infatuated for thirteen years.

"Ms. Ashbourne, no matter what you say, it won't work."

Though Chasel was somewhat swayed, he remained stubborn, "No matter what you say, I won't budge. The fact that you used your connections to bring me back from abroad without my consent means we have nothing to discuss. You clearly lack basic respect for others because of your wealth and power. I'm going to book a flight back immediately. If you dare stop me, I'll call the police!"

As Chasel was about to storm off, Evadne calmly sipped her tea, saying slowly, "Ah, even Dr. Eve couldn't solve the problem. I thought Dr. Bright was the only hope.”

"Who? Who did you say?!" Chasel stopped abruptly, his eyes wide with shock.

"Dr. Eve."

"You're saying Dr. Eve treated Thaddeus?! Why would she even bother to do that?!" Chasel couldn't help but lament.

“What do you mean ‘bother to do’?” The normally composed lady was somewhat irritated by his words, slamming her hand on the table.

"Nothing! Dr. Eve is my idol!"

Chasel spoke of Dr. Eve with admiration, "Even though I haven't met her in person, her noble demeanor and lovely image are perfect in my mind."

"Moreover, in our medical field, to achieve the medical breakthroughs Dr. Eve has made and perform so many remarkable surgeries, it would take at least thirty years!"

Evadne rubbed her chin. Well, what he said was right.

If Chasel knew that the woman he found irritating, the one who had orchestrated his "kidnapping" and dealt a blow to his pride, was Dr. Eve in flesh, he would undoubtedly feel immensely ashamed of the flattery he had just spouted, wishing he could just disappear on the spot!

"A man that even Dr. Eve has tried to save, are you still questioning his moral standing, Dr. Bright?"

Evadne asked with a calm smile, "Are you indirectly questioning your idol's moral standing?"

Although her words carried a hint of moral coercion.

But at this point, to deal with this sly fox, she had to use all means necessary.

Chasel pressed his lips, pulled a chair, and slowly sat down, lost in thought.

"Fine, for Dr. Eve's sake, I'll take a look."

Evadne was overjoyed, but only a slight curve appeared at the corner of her lips, "On behalf of Dr. Eve, thank you."

Having finally returned home for a visit, Elvis was not in a rush to leave. However, he couldn't stay idle either. Just like when he was younger, he would sleep soundly at home during the day and eagerly head out as soon as night fell.

Hence, Arnold would often joke around, "To those who know, you're a night owl. To those who don’t, they might think you're in some clandestine profession, hiding by day and emerging by night."

Elvis invited Arnold, Cassius, and Evadne out for drinks, but only Arnold couldn't resist his persuasion and reluctantly accompanied him.

After all, Elvis only acted like a little brother when asking him to drink.

However, he secretly took liver protection medicine and carried hangover relief tablets. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to handle it.
