His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel 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. Abernathy, 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 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 I'll 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. Abernathy? 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 tenderness 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 hasn't 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!]
