His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 664

“I’ve already looked into the video of Emeric that was leaked online.” Elvis’s voice came through, icy and filled with a deadly intent.

Thaddeus arched an eyebrow, his lips pursed in reluctance.

He had intended to handle the situation quietly, away from Evadne's prying eyes, smoothing things over for Chairman Emeric. Yet, here was Elvis, his old college rival, beating him to it once again.

Back in their school days, they'd been at loggerheads, competing for top honors and engaging in daily intellectual duels that rivaled the clashes of the greatest Greek gods. Now, he was still competing, denying him a chance to shine.

If it weren't for the fact that they were both men, it could have been mistaken for a love-hate relationship straight out of an old romance.

A frost seemed to creep into Thaddeus' gaze. "It's Bevis, isn't it?"

"Impressive. The detective work is basically done by guessing," Elvis taunted.

"The angle of the footage was clearly from the boardroom's security camera. After I settled Emeric, I immediately had Dylan delete the surveillance footage. Obviously, someone got to it first and copied the video."

Thaddeus' tone was so cold it could've frozen the air. "Evadne told me she had every board member sign a non-disclosure agreement after the incident, except for Bevis. She did it deliberately, to let him think he had the upper hand and walk into our trap. But I never expected him to leak the video. He's really not playing the game anymore."

"Heh, I think he's not playing for his life anymore."

Elvis clenched his fist so tightly his knuckles cracked audibly, even Thaddeus could hear it clearly. "I found the clues by cracking the IP address of the leaked video."

"It looks like it's time to put family loyalty aside and show that scoundrel what happens when he messes with Emeric."

Thaddeus' brows knitted together. "Not yet."

"Thaddeus, you dare to challenge me? I'm Elvis!" His voice rose an octave in displeasure.

"Your father is gravely ill, Elvis, and his condition is far worse than you imagine."

Silence fell on the other end.

"The leaked video, along with what happened to Cassius and Dr. Bright, has already struck a heavy blow to him. If you go after Bevis now, I fear Emeric won't be able to withstand it. I've seen that Emeric places great value on family ties. Even though he's seen through Bevis' actions, he's reluctant to punish him too harshly, always remembering their brotherly bond from their youth."

Thaddeus patiently explained, "I know you're out for revenge, and so am I. But right now, nothing is more important than Emeric's health."

"Cut to the chase!" Elvis snapped.

"Leave Bevis to me and Evadne. Don’t act yourself."

Thaddeus' eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness. "We know what he cherishes most. To make him lose what he holds dear is the ultimate revenge."

"Haha, Thad, you’re sly!"

With an annoyed look, Thaddeus replied, "You could use a different word, like 'wise' or 'sagacious.'"

"It’s the same thing, as long as you get my point."

Elvis's tone deepened, laced with sinister intent. "I can leave Bevis to you, but the one who framed my brother, that's mine to deal with."

"Agreed," Thaddeus said simply before ending the call.

His phone vibrated again with a message from Jareth, featuring a wide-mouthed, exaggerated emoji of a dog:

“Seriously? Cassius is really with Dr. Bright?”

“If you're here to gossip, please, I'm not interested.”

“No, no, I'm just inexperienced, it’s the first time someone around me has had such an incident, I was just wondering. When you marry Evadne, what will you call Dr. Bright?
