His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 475

Jason shot up like a bomb with a lit fuse, abruptly springing into action!

Just as he was about to lunge forward, Nydia clutched his hand tightly, her knuckles turning white, "Don't. Jason, please."

After all, Byron was the privileged son of the Chambers clan, and she was under the protective wing of the Ashbourne family, but what about Jason?

She couldn’t let Jason get in deeper water, for her sake.

Before Jason could make a move, Evadne stepped in with the speed of a striker, kicking straight to Byron's face like she was going for a goal!

"Ugh—!"

The debutante had dislodged both of Byron’s two front teeth, leaving him with a bloody mouth and two dark, comical holes where his teeth had been.

Thaddeus inwardly gasped, his Adam's apple bobbing with silent awe.

His almond eyes narrowed slightly, and his lips curled upward.

So full of life, so candid. He was hopelessly in love.

"Yikes. Your sister's terrifying, man. She resorts to violence at the drop of a hat, does she? With that temper, she'd be running the show in any gang."

Chasel's skin prickled with goosebumps from Evadne’s fierce aura, his body leaning for support against Cassius's side. " Hey, as her brother-in-law, shouldn't you have some sympathy for a fellow brother-in-law? On their wedding day, you should consider giving Mr. Thaddeus a generous life insurance policy. That’d be thoughtful and considerate."

"Dr. Bright, got too much time on your hands? Enjoy sticking your nose into other people’s business?" Cassius's tone was laced with sarcasm, his imposing presence unwavering.

"Evadne. Go ahead and seethe rage impotently."

Byron, with his bloody mouth, his words whistling through the gaps, "You've got no proof, you can't do anything to me. But for what you and Thaddeus did to me, I'll see you rot in jail! Your reputation will be destroyed!"

"Is that what you think? You think I'm scared? You think I, Evadne, am faint-hearted?"

The young lady stood defiantly, her lips curled in scorn, her knuckles cracking as she clenched her fists. "Keep barking, and see if I don’t remove the rest of your teeth."

Byron, finding his bravado met with threat, promptly shut his mouth.

"You’ve already done so much for me."

Nydia, weak and teary-eyed, shook her head as she leaned into Jason's embrace, "Let's just let it go. It's enough."

She might be timid, but what terrified her most was the thought of her dear family dragged into trouble because of her.

After all, she was destined to be married into the Chambers family, and her heart already halfway dead. So, even if she were hurt more, she would make no complaints.

What will be, will be.

"Nydia, what nonsense are you talking? You being wronged is a grave matter to me and your sister. How can we just let it go?"

Thaddeus's breaths were labored, his teeth gritted with determination," Over my dead body!"

The endearment "brother-in-law" tugged at his heartstrings.

He adored Evadne, and her sister was like his own. If he stood by idly, what kind of man was he?

Through blood, sweat, and tears, he bears no grudge!

Hearing Thaddeus address Nydia so tenderly warmed Evadne’s heart, and she exchanged a grateful look with Jason towards Thaddeus.

The situation had reached a stalemate.

With Byron smirking in his supposed triumph, Chasel approached Nydia with calm steps, his voice gentle as he asked,

“Ms. Nydia, I know you're not feeling well, but in order to clear your name, please try to recall what happened. What did you go through before you lost consciousness? Is there anything you might have overlooked?

Don't overlook even the smallest detail, which might seem negligible to you.”

Cassius had never seen Chasel so tender; even when asking for a “reward,” Chasel had a sharp, sassy edge.

It was a rare sight, and it intrigued him.

The man couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion, his eyes slightly reddening, and a tingling sensation surged through his chest.

Nydia inhaled deeply, then a memory flashed through her mind—she remembered bumping into a waiter. She furrowed her brows, “When I came out of the banquet hall, I bumped full-on into a waiter. Then, I felt a sting on my arm like a bee sting. There was a trivial pain, but the pain faded quickly.”

The secretary was surprised, completely unaware of any waiter coming into the picture.

Yet Byron’s face drained of color as panic set in his eyes.

Evadne's heart tightened, she hurriedly reached under the blanket, checked Nydia’s arm and found a tiny red pinprick on her porcelain skin.

"Damn!"

Evadne bellowed furiously, her heart aching for her sister, "What on earth did you inject into my sister, you scum?!"

"I told you, she came onto me. It has nothing to do with me!" Byron stubbornly defended, although his heart pounded like a drum.

He had been confident that Evadne and the others could not do anything to him.

But with this androgynous fox-eyed detective stepped into the case, the veiled truth began to emerge!

Thaddeus's eyes blazed with anger as he grabbed Byron by the hair and yanked his head back, eliciting a grimace of pain. "If what you injected into my sister has any adverse effects, I swear I'll turn you into a pincushion!"

Chasel's brows furrowed slightly. He first checked Nydia's pulse and observed her eyes.

After a moment, he sighed in relief, " It looks like she has no problems for now. Only the side effects from anesthetic abuse—rapid heartbeat, and fever. I've heard while I was abroad that there's an injectable version of this substance which is more potent. A single injection shouldn't cause lasting harm, but I still should accompany Ms. Nydia to get checked out later."

"Dr. Bright, thank you," Jason was choked up with gratitude.
