His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 426

"Whoa! I almost forgot!"

Aaron slapped his forehead dramatically, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Evadne, you once helped us crack two murder cases. In one, you found the crucial clue among the evidence, leading to a breakthrough in the case. In the other, you spotted a flaw in the suspect's alibi that resulted in a confession!"

Thaddeus was dumbfounded, looking at the calm and composed woman beside him with wide eyes.

This was it. He was done for.

How could Evadne be so exceptional? No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't catch up.

Before, Thaddeus saw himself as decent, if not extraordinary.

Now, in front of Evadne, he felt as insignificant as a used roll of toilet paper in a public restroom.

"Huh, I'm surprised you remember my shining moments, Aaron."

Evadne teased him with twinkling eyes. "If it wasn't for Emeric and Suri standing in my way, I might have joined the police academy and become a gun-toting cop. You might be calling me 'sergeant' by now."

"That's because you're our precious gem. We were afraid you'd get hurt playing with guns and knives. But in the end, we couldn't stop you from going."

Evadne's eyes went wide and Aaron quickly shut his mouth, almost letting the cat out of the bag.

Afterwards, Aaron boldly led them to meet the Chief.

The Chief naturally remembered the sharp-witted young woman who had helped the police solve major cases with her keen observations.

What surprised him more was that Mr. Thaddeus was with her!

The Abernathy Group, Thaddeus - these names carried significant weight in Elmsworth!

"Mr. Thaddeus! I didn't expect you to come in person. I apologize for not greeting you earlier."

Seeing Evadne was a pleasure for the Chief, but seeing Thaddeus was a delight. In addition to the usual pleasantries, he even ordered Aaron, the head of the detective squad, to pour tea for Thaddeus!

Aaron was taken aback. Thaddeus quickly stood up, "I'll do it myself!"

Pouring tea in front of Evadne, letting his future brother-in-law serve him? Was he out of his mind?

He still wanted to marry the Ashbourne family's daughter!

Aaron narrowed his eyes, acknowledging Thaddeus's understanding of social etiquette.

"Oh, no, no, how can I let you do that? I'll do it!”

The Chief personally served the tea, a move that Aaron found distasteful.

If this guy knew that the 'Aaron' he had been calling for years was the son of Skyrim's richest man, would he offer him his office to sit in?

Thaddeus didn't rush to drink the tea. He touched the cup to test the temperature, then elegantly lifted it and blew on it for a while before handing it to Evadne.

"It's not hot anymore. You can drink it now."

Aaron and the Chief were dumbfounded.

"Thank you. You should have some too." Evadne took a sip and handed it back to him.

Thaddeus took the cup from her and sipped from the same spot where she had drunk.

Their sweet atmosphere had already made the others jealous.

"Chief, we came here for one reason - to see Ward and talk to him."

Before the Ashbourne siblings could speak, Thaddeus's starry eyes turned serious, stating their intention directly.

"Aaron, Mr. Thaddeus wants to see him. Arrange it immediately!" Ordered the Chief.

The three of them were stunned.

That was it?

"Yes, sir." Aaron was also surprised at how smoothly things were going.

"But Ward is extremely dangerous. It's not very safe for you to talk to him in person. Let Aaron accompany you!"

"No need." Thaddeus declined calmly.

"It's okay. Mr. Thaddeus's skills are even better than those of Ward and Captain Ashbourne."

Evadne tilted her head towards Thaddeus, her laugh as sweet as pearls. "When he gets stubborn, you better have more men ready to watch Ward. I'm afraid he might die in jail."

In jail.

Aaron and two other officers waited outside while Evadne and Thaddeus went in to confront Ward.

After waiting for a while, Ward, dressed in a prison uniform and shackled, was brought in by an officer.

"Well, well, look who it is."

Ward sneered at them, casually sitting on the steel chair and looking at Evadne with a lewd smile, "What's up, Ms. Ashbourne? Do you miss me?"

Evadne looked cold and stern, but managed to keep her composure.
