His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 551

Gordon's fists clenched hard, seething with a desire to deck that reporter and send him to hell.

A hush fell over the crowd, all eyes glued on the reporter, waiting for the showdown.

Some had wanted to ask that very question, but respect for Evadne's influence had sealed their lips. Now, the reporter had taken the bullet, and they couldn't be more delighted.

Thaddeus's chest burned with a fury so intense it threatened to engulf him. His veins bulged as his hand reached for the car door, eager to bolt, but Evadne's arms enveloped him from behind.

"It's already chaos out there, and don't go adding fuel to the fire."

Gritting his teeth, Thaddeus growled with a voice thick with rage, "But he's smearing your name."

"So what? It's not a big deal. Thaddeus, we're adults here, and can we keep the emotions in check, please?" Evadne teased, playfully scratching at his ribs.

Thaddeus's anger subsided slightly, yet he was still fuming, "We can't just let this go. That sleaze could very well be a pawn of the Chambers Group."

"And what if he is?"

Evadne blinked her sparkling eyes, unfazed, "Byron is toast, and we've finally avenged the girls he wronged. My mission is accomplished. As for what people say, I couldn't care less."

"Evadne, don't make me feel so useless," Thaddeus choked, his throat clogged with bitterness.

"Useless? Being with you is a blast, I've got no worries at all."

Evadne pressed her soft curves against his tense chest, cradling his face in her hands.

"Come here."

Thaddeus's hands roamed over her slender waist and hips, his lips claiming hers deeply.

He used to cringe at public displays of affection, fast-forwarding through movie scenes dripping with romance. Now, he was as tame as a well-trained hound.

His soul had long been ensnared by her, and he was totally changed.

Or perhaps, he had always been a vessel brimming with fierce love and possessiveness, and having met her, his eyes, his mind, his heart could never make room for another.

"See, you're plenty useful."

With eyes shimmering like the ocean, Evadne slowly broke the kiss, "Just like that, all my troubles are gone."

Meanwhile, facing the reporter's malicious questioning, Gordon, no matter how incensed, knew a corporate secretary must keep his cool.

After all, nothing was more important than safely escorting the victims and their families away, a critical task entrusted to him by Evadne and Thaddeus. He couldn't afford any distractions.

"Ms. Higgins, ignore him, and let's go."

In his urgency, Gordon reached instinctively for Beverly's cool hand.

But Beverly stood her ground, immovable.

In the next second, Beverly, in full view of everyone, removed her cap and mask.

Gordon's heart clenched as a loud buzz filled his head.

He wanted to intervene, but it was too late.

"Evadne, what is she doing?" Evadne and Thaddeus's eyes widened in shock.

Beverly, revealing her face, was immediately swallowed by a sea of flashing lights. Squinting through teary eyes, she showed no signs of cowardice or hesitation.
