His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 666

"What?"

Evadne was furious, a rush of anger overtaking her, "Darn it. I'm already on the edge and now they dare to provoke me? Watch me smash their skulls with a good baseball bat!"

"Cassius is with Emeric right now; I haven't let them know about this yet."

Thaddeus' eyes darkened, whispering in her ear, "We all know why the Bright family is here. At this sensitive time, Cassius can't show up, and even less can Emeric. Otherwise, those Bright group will take advantage of this incident to stir the pot, and who knows what kind of dirty tricks they'll pull."

"Huh. Let them try."

The memory of Chasel's suffering at the hands of the Bright family ignited a fiery rage in Evadne, "Chasel is such a good man, and just because he was trying to get medical treatment for Emeric, they beat him half to death. The Bright family clearly treated Chasel as a scapegoat! Do they even have the face to claim as Chasel’s family? They're not worthy at all!"

Thaddeus nodded in solemn agreement, "This is a matter between your two families, and as an outsider, it's not my place to step in. But don't you worry, Bennett and Arnold are already on their way, and I'll step in if need be. I won't let them cause a scene and disturb Emeric's recovery."

"Who says you're an outsider?" Evadne almost let her true feelings slip, biting her lip gently, her hands clutching at his crisp shirt.

"Hmm?" The man lowered his gaze, his breaths coming in warm, making her blush and heartbeat quicken.

"You're part of the Ashbourne family, you're my husband, definitely not an outsider."

Her voice was soft and coy, cheeks blushing red as she nestled into his embrace.

Thaddeus' heartbeat raced, his hands trembling as they caressed the back of her neck, his voice deep and warm, "I'm your husband, always have been and always will be."

God knows how agonizing it had been for him to wait for her to call him "husband." Such sweet endearments are commonplace among lovers, but for him, someone who had once hurt her deeply, he dared not even hope for it.

He thought of Evadne's past troubles, remembered that though she was rightfully his wife, she had to live alone in her cold room like a widow every day, longing day and night for his return, not even daring to call him "husband."

Regret flooded him, and Thaddeus' throat tightened, his eyes involuntarily moistening.

"Evadne, Thaddeus."

Chasel, having composed himself, approached them with a determined expression, "Let me go."

"No way!"

Evadne flatly refused, her eyes filled with concern, "They almost beat you to death last time. Are you looking to throw your life away by walking into the lion's den?"

"Dr. Bright, it's better if you don't show up. If something happens to you, Evadne and I wouldn't be able to explain it to Cassius," Thaddeus said sharply, hitting the nail on the head.

But Chasel shook his head firmly, "I may love men, but first and foremost, I am a man who doesn't shy away from trouble. If I play the coward now, I don't deserve to be considered part of Evadne's family, nor to be worthy of her calling me..."

Evadne was moved, "Chasel."

"And besides, I've done nothing wrong. Why should I hide?"

Chasel's handsome jaw set firm, his fists clenched tightly, "Whether it was before or now, the ones in the wrong are always them!"

A line of black luxury cars roared into the parking lot of Ashbourne Hospital.

"Dad! My brother has gone nuts! He's a lunatic!"

Warner fumed as he followed Zachary, ranting and raving, eager to nail Chasel to the cross, "No wonder our people couldn't find him for days; it turns out he ran to Cassius and was hidden by him! Can you believe it? He was debauched abroad, messing around with a bunch of foreigners, and now that he was back, he didn't even try to be discreet, getting involved with Cassius! It's a disgrace to the Bright family name, an utter misfortune! If Grandfather knew,"

"Shut up!"

Zachary, already furious, found the incessant noise intolerable, wishing he could tear Warner's mouth apart.

"As the eldest brother, your medical skills are less than your brother's, and your business acumen is mediocre at best, but I could have tolerated that. But you can't even handle your brother, something so simple, you're useless!"

Warner clenched his teeth in anger, feeling unjustly accused and ready to burst into flames!

Zachary's eyes were bloodshot with hatred, "If only you had told me about his reckless actions earlier, would our family's dirty laundry be aired like this? Now the whole world knows the Bright family has a freak with a deviant sexual orientation! How can I ever hold my head high?"

"Dad, I wanted to handle it, but my brother was abroad, and you know how stubborn he is. I wanted to handle it, but I must be able to do so!"

Warner’s face darkened as he said through clenched teeth, "With such a scandal this time, when you catch Chasel, you must keep a close watch on him, and make sure he has no more dealings with the Ashbourne family. Especially that Cassius! The two men cuddling and hugging. It's disgusting!"

He felt sickened, and so did Zachary, who at that moment wanted nothing more than to throttle the cause of all this disgrace.

The Bright group had barely walked a short distance when they saw two tall men standing calmly ahead, their dignified presence forbidding any approach.

It was Arnold and Bennett.

Zachary brought along a dozen secretaries and bodyguards, but the mere presence of the two younger Ashbourne men suppressed them with such an imposing aura that they dared not even breathe too loudly, without the need for violence.

"Bennett."

Arnold stood there, his expression dead serious, but his elbow gave a sly nudge to his younger brother beside him. "Looks like the Bright family showed up with their whole dog pack. I'm getting jittery, bro. Among us four, I'm the least skilled in combat, so you've got to have my back when the fist breaks out."

Bennett glanced at him and smiled shallowly. "Relax, if a fight really breaks out, I'll guard you like you were my wife."
