His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 694

Under Thaddeus' orchestration, the subordinate from the Fairhaven group proactively turned himself in, confessed on the spot and provided the full account of the criminal details, which matched the known facts exactly.

The boy's father wanted to delve deeper, but with the evidence conclusive and the police having already closed the case, they only had limited capabilities and ultimately had no choice but to accept it .

Gary, with his nose for news, had already learned the ins and outs of the full story.

When he found out that the kidnapped girl was the young miss from the Abernathy family, he immediately connected the matter to Jareth.

It was as if the name "Jareth" was plastered all over it!

"What? The guy who confessed got his background cleaned?" Gary's eyes bulged in disbelief.

"Yes, clean as a whistle. That subordinate doesn't have a single connection to the Fairhaven group, not even the police could trace anything," the secretary reported, sweating bullets.

"That brat Jareth's becoming more cunning!"

Gary took a strong puff of his cigar, choking on the smoke and nearly suffocating himself.

"This matter might very well be Thaddeus' doing. That man is meticulous in his work. He and Jareth are thick as thieves, what wouldn't he do for Jareth?"

"Damn it!"

Gary slammed his hand on the desk. "I thought we could use this incident to cut off his path to the presidency, but now we've missed the boat!

Am I just supposed to sit back and let that brat strut around above me? Then what was the point of taking out his old man in the first place?"

"Shh—! Keep your voice down!" The secretary was pale with fright.

"Hmph, what's there to fear? It's been so many years, the machine was destroyed, the witnesses are dead; there is no evidence."

A sinister gleam flashed in Gary's eyes. "You think Jareth doesn't suspect me? He's been suspicious for a while now, but so what?

I just love seeing his look, hating me to the core yet unable to do a thing about it! Let him be tormented for life!"

Just then, his phone rang.

Seeing it was Edith Fairhaven calling, he dismissed his secretary and answered with a scowl.

"My dear niece, you still remember your old uncle, huh?"

"How could I forget about you, Uncle?" Edith's voice was sickly sweet.

"Heh, my dear niece, always knows how to say the nicest things."

Gary gritted his teeth. "Speaking of which, why haven't you made a move yet? It looks like your heart's still with your big brother. Him becoming president must make you and your mother proud, right?"

"Uncle, I’m going to say something you won’t like to hear."

Edith's voice was teasing. "Truth be told, you never stood a chance against Jareth for the presidency. From the beginning, Grandpa never even considered you to be the successor, and you know it better than anyone, don’t you?

You want me to help you, but with the odds against you, how can I help? If I had the power, wouldn't I just go for the presidency myself?"

Gary felt humiliated by her sass and his face turned beet red with embarrassment. "But didn't you say you had a way to make Jareth suffer?"

"Don't rush, it's coming soon."
