His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 701

Outside the gates of Silverlake Harbor.

The evening wind rustled through the trees. Under the streetlight, Avery stood upright alone in the deep, dew-heavy night air, waiting for the one he yearned for.

Time seemed to stretch on endlessly until the gates finally opened.

Evadne emerged, clad only in a thin, light blue dress. Evadne approached him with steps as firm as a finely-honed sword, her dark eyes deep and striking.

“Evadne.” Avery’s eyes lit up with joy.

Concerned by her light attire, Avery quickly took off his suit jacket, intending to drape it over her shoulders. "Evadne, why didn't you wear more? It's cold, what if you catch a chill?”

"Don't touch me!" Evadne's glare was icy, and she stepped back.

As if the man before her was a venomous scorpion, a snake ready to strike without warming, lethal in its bite!

Avery's arms stiffed awkwardly in mid-air, his complexion growing paler still.

"Avery, don't push your luck," Evadne spat, her eyes swirled with deep hatred, and her words as sharp as icicles. "I'm here to see you just to witness how vile and despicable you could be. I came for the spectacle. You think I don't know it was you who orchestrated behind what happened to my brother and Chasel? You think hiding behind Matthew makes you safe? You underestimate me!"

Faced with her blunt accusations, Avery’s facade remained unbroken. Instead, his eyes reddened, and his voice shook with the strain of feigned innocence. "Evadne, I didn't! Even if I've made mistakes in the past, I swear I had nothing to do with Cassius's trouble. I found out from the news just like everyone else!"

A deceptive prose, spoken with the ease of a flowing stream.

He had told them so often; he was nearly convincing himself.

"Besides, what do I stand to gain from framing your brother? I'm already the president of the Chambers Group; I have everything I wanted. Why would I take such a risk for nothing? Matthew is the instigator. He's the one with ample motive, desperate to take down Cassius and regain our father's trust!"

Evadne's piercing gaze never wavered. A mocking smile played on her lips. "Avery, do you really have everything you wanted?"

Avery was sharply taken aback!

"I know what you want. The infighting of the Chambers Group is none of my concern. Whether you live or die, I don’t really care.” Evadne’s eyes, bloodshot with fury, “But if you dare harm my family, my loved ones. Avery, I'm keeping score, and one day, I'll make you pay back every slight twofold. I'll make you wish for death, unable to obtain it!”

Wishing for death but unable to obtain it.

Such cruel, merciless words, their lethality to Avery was no less than excruciating torture, cutting deeper than any physical torment.

Hui delicate, dignified appearance, along with the soul that had long wandered in darkness, seemed as if torn asunder by her striking gaze.

Yet the pain brought a strange sort of pleasure.

Evadne, all your love was for Thaddeus. But all your hate was reserved for me.

It meant that, in some twisted way, he held a place in her heart, a place that could not be replaced.

Avery's eyes, burning red, softened unexpectedly, as he suddenly opened his arms wanting to embrace her.

Evadne felt a chill surge through her, and panicked, tried to step back, but his cold hands had already grasped her shoulders.

A chill of revulsion surged through Evadne!

Just as Evadne was ready to resist, a strong, decisive figure suddenly stood in front of her.

"Thaddeus!" Evadne's heart swelled with relief, and the coldness that had gripped her vanished.

In the next instant, Thaddeus delivered a heavy punch to Avery's left cheek!

The force of this punch seemed to have been gathering for a long, long time, and now it was all released, its lethality was not to be underestimated.

Avery felt a pain so acute, his vision darkened, his scalp about to burst!

Avery was no stranger to a fight, but Thaddeus' unexpected ferocity left him dazed, he staggered back several steps and fell heavily on the cold earth!

"Touch my wife, Avery, and you'll regret it," Thaddeus growled as he glared at the man on the ground, his handsome face as cold as stone, his starry eyes a murderous crimson.

He had intended to stay in the shadows, not intending to strike severely.

But seeing Avery's filthy hands on his beloved, he could no longer hold back, unleashing the beast within!

Thaddeus took off his suit jacket and wrapped Evadne tenderly, pulling her tightly into his embrace and asked hoarsely. "Were you scared?"

Evadne smiled, shaking her head as she leaned into the warmth of his chest, her form softly clingy.

Their intimacy pierced Avery's heart, far more lethal than the punch he'd just received.
