His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 501

In the soft moonlight, a subtle, sweet fragrance wafted through the bedroom.

Thaddeus's sculpted abs tensed beneath him as he gazed down at the woman straddling his hips with an intensity that could shatter the serene night into fragments.

If only he could meld her into his very marrow, fuse her into his scorching blood.

"Mmm. I haven't done this before. Don't be disappointed if I'm not good at it," whispered Evadne, her delicate hands resting on Thaddeus's heaving chest, her lips pursed with shy anticipation.

Thaddeus's hands gripped her slender, fair legs, trying to mask his excitement, his fingers turning her skin pink with restraint.

He never imagined her "reward" would be taking the lead.

Sure, they'd made love countless times, with him always in the driver's seat, pouring every ounce of his strength into making it perfect for her.

But now, the tables had turned. How could he not be thrilled?

"Is it like this?" asked Evadne, her cheeks flushing as she gently inquired.

Thaddeus's breathing was steady, but the quiver in his muscles and the feverish look in his eyes betrayed his fervent response.

"Evadne, don't force yourself," his voice was husky with desire.

Closing her eyes, Evadne shook her head, "Isn't it good to try something new?"

"Of course, it's just I don't want you to feel uncomfortable," Thaddeus's voice trembled slightly.

"Silly."

She leaned down, her finger tracing his lips in a light circle, "We both have our strengths and weaknesses. Just guide me if I need it."

After a night of passionate entanglement, Evadne felt like she had given half her life.

It was exhausting!

Lying back was so much more comfortable!

By the end, she could barely keep her eyes open, and Thaddeus was insatiable, he even seemed to help clean her up afterward.

Was he some sort of energizer bunny? So full of life and vigor.

The next day.

Evadne didn't wake until the sun was high in the sky, her body aching so much she could hardly crawl out of bed.

"Keep a close eye on things," Thaddeus's deep, magnetic voice reached her ears.

Evadne turned over, her eyes bleary as she admired his broad back from the bedside.

The next second, her heart skipped a beat, and she buried her blushing face into the covers.

Thaddeus's back was marked with fresh, red scratches, evidence of the previous night's fervor.

"Awake?"

He turned, his gaze tender as he stroked her cheek, "I've asked Alva to whip up something delicious for you. Rest a bit more. You must be worn out from last night."

Evadne blinked sleepily. Her voice was soft and lazy, "Who were you on the phone with? Gordon?"

"Yeah."

Thaddeus lay beside her, and as Evadne snuggled into his embrace, he circled his arms around her protectively, "I'm having Gordon keep up the pressure on the Chambers Group online, letting them 'enjoy' the spotlight."

"Well done," Evadne pecked his cheek, her voice bright.

He smiled contentedly, "Another thing, the Chambers family is making their move."

"Oh? What are they up to?" Evadne's interest was piqued.

"They're planning a press conference to clear up the incident at the club."

"Clear up? More like disown, I bet," Evadne chuckled, drawing hearts on his chest.

"With Edgar down, it's not just their efforts that's ruined. They're all on edge, afraid of the fallout."

Thaddeus's eyes flashed coldly, "To show their sincerity, the Chambers Group will call a press conference as soon as possible, probably within the next couple of days."

"Hmph, Edgar may be corrupt beyond forgiveness, but the Chambers family's refusal to own up is just despicable."

"Don't worry, Evadne. I promised to avenge Nydia, and I won't stop easily. Anyone who hurts you or your loved ones will pay back a thousandfold." Thaddeus clenched his jaw, a fierce sound emanated from it.

Listening to his strong heartbeat, Evadne was filled with happiness.

She loved Thaddeus for his sense of justice, his fearless righteousness. They shared values, both with hearts full of light and love.

Thaddeus took her tender hand, noticing her numb little finger, and felt a pang of distress in his chest, "Evadne, what happened to your finger? Can you tell me?"

"It's nothing, just an old tree climbing accident. It doesn't get in the way," she assured him with a smile, trying to keep it light, "I'm a grown woman now. Don't be so worried all the time. Relax, we have a long life ahead. You'll give yourself a heart attack at this rate."

"Because it's about you," Thaddeus murmured, kissing her forehead.

Bertha's sobs stopped abruptly as she saw Avery approach with a smirk.

"Why? What happened?"

"Indeed, what happened?"

Avery nonchalantly sat across from her, poured himself a glass of red wine, and said, "You've been covering for Mr. Gardner well, and despite his shady dealings and accepting bribes over the years, it never came to light. Everything was fine. So why did it all fall apart now? Why now, of all times?"

"Why," Bertha slurred, her mind muddled by the alcohol.

"Don't you remember what you've done recently?"

A single sentence brought realization to Bertha, "Is it the Ashbourne family? Are they after me?"

"Not completely hopeless, then."

Avery sipped his wine leisurely. "Mr. Gardner's indiscretions aside, the Ashbourne family had no reason to target him. This means, from the start, their sights were set beyond him."

"The Ashbourne family, are they coming for me?" Panic spread across Bertha's face as she staggered to her feet, knocking over her chair.

"Now, dear sister, you're truly surrounded by enemies. Even if you do hold that press conference and grovel for the Chambers Group, what does it matter? What you've lost won't be returned. And do you think the Ashbourne family will let you off easily? Targeting your man was just the beginning; soon, you'll be in deep trouble."

Bertha clutched her head in terror, her hysterical screams echoing through the cellar.

Avery plugged his ears, watching her as if she were a madwoman.

"No, it's not my fault. I didn't do anything, it was all my brother, they can't blame me, they can't do this to me!"

Babbling, Bertha dashed out the door.

Shortly after, Harvey strolled in from outside and poured Avery a drink.

"Mr. Chambers, what's that lunatic up to now?"

"If I'm not mistaken, she's off to confront the Ashbourne family."

"What?"

Harvey was shocked. "The Ashbourne family just had a fallout with the Chambers Group, and now she's going to stir up trouble? Isn't that just going to make things worse?"

"No matter, she is on behalf of herself. Whatever mess she makes is her own doing. How does it concern me?"

Avery drank contentedly, a sly glint in his eye, "Let her go. She's bound to humiliate herself. What I want is for her to be consumed by hatred. Once it reaches its peak, she'll become a ticking time bomb, and some folks are in for a rude awakening."
