His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 527

“What the fuck? That scumbag is out?”

Evadne bolted upright from Thaddeus’s embrace, her roar nearly giving poor Alva, who was baking pies in the kitchen, a heart attack!

Thaddeus’s handsome face darkened.

He was so close to her that he heard every word Aaron had said, crystal clear.

“No way Avery is ruthless, always goes for the kill, never leaves loose ends. How did Byron get bailed out? Is there something wrong with the evidence?” Evadne felt her blood go from boiling to ice-cold, her shoulders shaking with rage.

Thaddeus rose silently, his warm, large hand wrapping around her waist, offering her a silent comfort through his touch.

“The evidence was solid. If it hadn’t been, the precinct wouldn’t have issued an arrest warrant for Byron.”

Aaron’s voice was hoarse with anger and frustration. “But now, those girls who were supposed to testify against Byron have changed their tune like they got their stories straight in private! They claim they weren’t raped by Byron, that they were involved with him of their own free will. Even the two underage girls!”

“Free will? How is that possible? If it was consensual, why didn’t they say so from the start?”

Evadne was beside herself with fury. “Aaron! There’s got to be something fishy going on. You guys have to dig deeper!”

“Of course, there’s something fishy. We all know it. I even sent several seasoned female negotiators to talk to them, but it was no use. They decided not to press charges.” Aaron sighed, the sound heavy with helplessness.

“Mr. Abernathy, Mrs. Abernathy, the news is out!” Gordon waved his phone frantically.

“Play it,” Thaddeus commanded, his voice deep and authoritative.

They watched the video, the scene was right outside the police station, and the man answering the reporters’ questions was Matthew.

“Damn it, those reporters are so nosy!”

Gordon clenched his jaw as he watched Matthew’s hypocritical performance, “As a CEO, he is doing nothing but cleaning up messes for the Chambers Group!”

Evadne and Thaddeus watched the screen intently, their hands gripping each other tightly.

Facing the reporters, Matthew was indignant. “Ladies and gentlemen, as you can see, if my brother were truly a rapist, we would not have secured his release. It’s clear my brother has been framed, a victim of someone’s scheme to tarnish and entrap the Chambers family! I will get to the bottom of this and will not let my brother suffer this slander!”

“My brother wasn’t on drugs. It was due to prescription medication.”

Matthew put on a pained expression, “My brother had a serious car accident before, almost ended up in a vegetative state. Even now, his leg pain flares up so badly on rainy days that he has to take strong medication to manage it, out of necessity. At the time, thank goodness for Miss Evadne, who performed amputation surgery on him, saving his right leg and allowing him to maintain a semblance of a normal life. Our entire Chambers family is grateful to Ms. Evadne. Without her, my brother would be half-dead.”

The crowd erupted in murmurs and speculation!

Miss Evadne, known for her remarkable surgical skills, capable of what seemed like miracles, had become the talk of the town, but not for the reasons one would expect.

Most shocking of all was the revelation that the esteemed Evadne, hailed as an “angel” and a “beacon of justice,” had operated on Byron, a man of ill-repute.

Being a billionaire heiress, she had no need for fame or fortune, nor would she act against her will under duress.

Therefore, her decision to perform surgery on Byron could only have been voluntary!

Could it be that Evadne’s shining image was all a facade, and that she was just as flawed behind closed doors?
