His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 520

"Jason, how could you?!"

Evadne's mind buzzed with shock!

Had it not been for Thaddeus's timely embrace, she would have nearly collapsed!

"Is it true?! Jason confessed to everything?!" Chief Roderick's eyes sparkled with surprise as he flipped through the confession letter to confirm.

"Yes, Chief. It's all there in black and white. Jason has admitted to assaulting Mr. Byron and causing him permanent injury. He's confessed to the charges and is ready to face the consequences."

This sudden turnaround was a windfall for the Chambers Group!

For days there had been interrogators who rotated to put pressure on him non-stop. Any regular Joe would have cracked under the strain, but Jason was tough as nails, preferring to languish in the gloom of his cell rather than bend the knee.

So why on earth had he suddenly spilled the beans?

What had happened to make him change his mind?

"Evadne, are you alright?" Thaddeus, seeing his lady's face drain of color, held her rigid waist even tighter, feeling his heart aching for her.

"Jason didn't do it. Why would he confess?!"

Evadne's eyes reddened with anger and pain as she shook her head in disbelief, "Has he lost his mind? You don't just confess to something like this! Is he so eager for a taste of prison food?!"

"Exactly. You don't just confess to something like this."

Cedric squinted his eyes with a sly grin, teasing, "Jason, as a top graduate from Elmsworth Law School, knows this better than anyone. Ms. Evadne, why are you getting involved? What's the fuss?"

Evadne felt as if her heart had been stabbed and was throbbing with pain.

In an instant, a lightning bolt of realization struck her, and everything made sense.

One hour earlier.

Chief Roderick had done Cedric a favor by allowing him a secret visit with Jason ahead of time.

In the interrogation room, the two brothers sat facing each other; the atmosphere was tense to the breaking point.

There was no sign of familial warmth, but a palpable and hostile stand-off.

"Jason, look at yourself. What a mess you've made."

Cedric shook his head in mock dismay as he surveyed him, "If mom and dad knew that you were facing years behind bars for the daughter of the Ashbourne family's mistress, they'd be heartbroken. How unfilial are you!"
