His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 404

Avery turned his back to them, making a slight gesture with his slender, pale fingers.

Elsie bit her lip and handed the envelope to Harvey, who in turn passed it to Avery.

In the past, besides Miss Ashbourne, she was the only woman who had the privilege to get close to Avery. She could sit on his lap and flirt with him like a lover, share harmless jokes with him, and Avery never got angry with her.

Everyone who followed Avery naturally assumed that he liked her, and pampered her.

Only Elsie knew the truth. She was nothing and wasn't even worthy of tying Evadne's shoes.

Avery merely saw her as a cheap substitute. When he was happy, he teased her, satisfying his desires. When he was upset, he cruelly mistreated her. With a mere flick of his finger, he could make her life a living hell.

Therefore, she no longer took the initiative to get close to him. Even making eye contact with him filled her with dread.

Harvey handed the envelope to Avery with both hands.

Avery put down his glass, took the envelope, and leisurely opened it.

Suddenly, Avery shot up from the couch, his body radiating an oppressive chill that was as startling as a sudden storm. Harvey and Elsie instinctively stepped back, shivering with fear.

The next moment, a loud noise echoed.

Avery roared with rage, his eyes bloodshot, and he kicked the coffee table over!

The expensive red wine and antique crystal glasses shattered into pieces on the floor, creating a scene of chaos.

"Damn, bastard!"

Avery flung the photo in his hand into the air, his bloodshot eyes filled with rage, like an angered beast.

Harvey and Elsie picked up the photo, both in shock!

Even fully prepared, they instantly recognized it.

The stunning couple in the photo, locked in a passionate kiss, were Thaddeus and Evadne!

"How is this possible? Why?"

Avery clutched his chest, trembling. He felt as if a powerful bomb had been planted in his heart, shattering his world.

"Why? Evadne hated him so much, even in front of me. Why are they together, why?"

"Mr. Chambers, please calm down!"

Harvey tried his best to console him, "Perhaps this is a misunderstanding. Maybe our people saw it wrong, they didn't."

"I know Evadne well."

Avery touched his forehead, which was burning with anger, and collapsed onto the couch, "If she dislikes someone, she won't even spare them a glance! Even if they didn't kiss, but Thaddeus held her, and they were shopping together."

Saying this, Avery took deep breaths, gritted his teeth, but couldn't stop the tears from flowing.

Harvey and Elsie were stunned.

They had been with Avery for many years, but this was the first time they had seen him cry over a woman, and so heartbrokenly at that.

How much must he love Evadne, to be in this state?

But why would Evadne rather be with someone who had cruelly abandoned her and hurt her deeply, than give Mr. Chambers a second glance?

Harvey repeatedly signaled Elsie with his eyes.

But Elsie just hung her head, her eyelids drooping, not daring to take a step closer to Avery.

In the past, as a substitute, as a plaything, she could curry favor with Avery.

However, she was very self-aware now.

Her value as a substitute for Avery was gone because his feelings for Evadne were too deep. No one could replace her, even as a temporary comfort.

Avery asked Harvey to bring the syringe. At this moment, only an injection could calm his anger.

Otherwise, he might go there and shoot Thaddeus in front of Evadne!

"Mr. Chambers, if I may."

Harvey put away the syringe, wiping his sweat, "You should try to avoid using this in the future. Although it can bring temporary pleasure and effectively numb pain, it is still a banned drug. It has not entered clinical trials in our country and potential side effects are unknown."

"I know, just this once, and no more."

Avery closed his eyes, took a deep breath, "How can a drug dealer be controlled by drugs?"

The one who became his demon was not a drug but Evadne.

"Send these photos to Emeric anonymously."

Avery revealed a cold, wicked smile, bloodthirsty and manic, "Emeric loves his daughter dearly. He certainly won't stand by and watch his precious daughter make the same mistake, to fall into the fire pit again."

"Yes, Mr. Chambers."

Just as Harvey was about to leave, Avery stopped him, "What's the date today?"

"March 6th, Mr. Chambers."

Avery's eyes narrowed slightly, shimmering with an inscrutable light in the dark night.

"March 6th."

Just then, his phone rang.

That evening, Evadne was particularly understanding. After having dinner with Thaddeus, she returned to her room to rest and did not disturb him.

Thaddeus sat alone in his room, continuously making phone calls, coordinating with Jareth and his subordinates about the arrangements for going to Country T the next day.

"Did Cassius also send people?"

"No news yet, but I think if I know, Cassius must know, he won't be without any moves."

Thaddeus nodded, "Hmm, I need to catch Ward first."

"It doesn't matter who catches him, Thad. Don't be so competitive." Jareth sighed. Thaddeus, from childhood to adulthood, couldn't stand the feeling of losing.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have fought with Evadne so fiercely in the past. He probably regretted his past actions now, almost lost his wife!

"Evadne has everything. I have nothing to give her."

Thaddeus stared down, his vibe emanating a heartbreaking humility. "What she wants right now is revenge. So no matter what, I must personally help her achieve this, at any cost."

"Alright then, Thad. Rest assured, when we get to Country T, my people will do everything in their power to ensure your safety!" Jareth declared solemnly.

"No need to worry about me. I've been in the army. Just take care of yourself."

Thaddeus paused, speaking softly, "If anything happens to you, I worry Marilla would be devastated. In her life, she has never been loved so fervently, never had anything truly belong to her. You know how important you are to her, don't you?"

Jareth took a deep breath, excitedly shouting, "Thad! Can I take that to mean you admit I'm your brother-in-law?"

Thaddeus pulled the phone away from his ear, his brows furrowed, "Are you a gorilla or a donkey? What are you yelling for in the middle of the night?"

"I'm your brother-in-law!" Jareth called out, his voice dripping with syrup.

Thaddeus cringed, "Speak like a human, please."

"Anyway, as soon as I get back safe, I'm going to propose to your family. You must help me with all your might!" Jareth's voice trembled with excitement.
