His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 717

Thaddeus gently cradled Evadne's chin, his lips descending upon hers, dissolving the rouge that had ensnared his very soul.

Their fervent kiss traced the contours of her lips, tasting an incomparable sweetness. As passion threatened to surge uncontrollably, they parted by tacit agreement.

Thaddeus gazed at Evadne's flushed cheeks and dewy lips, a satisfied smile spreading across his face, "Now, your lips are more delicate than any blossom."

"You're just too much. Either kissing or making love. Give me a break sometimes, will ya?" Evadne nestled into his embrace, her fingertips playfully pressed against his chiseled chest - a gesture she found irresistibly flirtatious.

Each poke, each touch, seemed to lift even the darkest of moods - a little indulgence she couldn't resist.

"So, I want to kiss, I want to make love. Will you give it to me?" Thaddeus whispered into her ear, his voice husky with desire.

Evadne's shoulders tensed ever so slightly, her flushed cheeks providing the only answer he needed.

The couple snuggled on the couch, admiring a vibrant bouquet of roses, savoring this cozy moment of bliss.

"Thanks to you for uncovering Bevis' Achilles' heel - his tax evasion schemes - it forced him to cough up that five million he owed." Evadne's fingers teased his jawline, her eyes sparkling in admiration, "You've indeed lightened my load."

As she spoke, she looped her arms around his neck and planted a playful kiss on his cool, thin lips, "Tonight, you shall be handsomely rewarded."

"Thank you, my queen," he murmured, his tone rich and velvety.

Thaddeus, usually so stoic, was putty in Evadne's hands. She was playful, and he was always there to join in the fun.

"You're quite the charmer, aren't you?" Evadne traced his smiling lips, "Deviously charming, but I like it."

"Bevis has been exiled from the K Group and saddled with a debt of five million."

Thaddeus held her hand gently, "Is this where we stop, Evadne?"

"Stop?" Evadne scoffed, her eyes alight with mischief, "You hit where it hurts the most. Do you think I'd let that scoundrel off so easily?"

Pressing his lips, Thaddeus found her words amusing.

"Publicly, yes, I've let him be. But in the shadows, I can strike him from behind."

She snuggled closer, finding a comfortable spot in his arms, "Bevis' two restaurants have been doing well these past years, and that Gabriel has a stake in them too. Such establishments can't withstand close scrutiny - a tax audit alone could reveal at least one or two millions in evasion."

"Do you want him to bleed more?" His eyes narrowed slightly, "It's easily done."

"That way, Gabriel will have to think twice about where he stands in the K Group if he wants to stay safe." She shook her slender fingers, "Mixing up with the likes of Bevis is a dead-end street."

Thaddeus' phone rang then, a call from Gordon.

"Gordon, what's up?"

"Mr. Abernathy, today Jeff sent lawyers and his secretary to the detention center to see Matthew!"

Gordon's voice carried the urgency of fresh intel, and a hint of concern, "Nothing's going to go awry that lets the Chambers Group find a loophole to bail out that beast, right?!"

"No, the evidence is irrefutable. Matthew is in a checkmate position; there's no chance for a turnaround."

Thaddeus' gaze darkened, "Jeff's visit is likely a final reckoning between father and son."

Evadne's lips curled knowingly, "The power balance within the Chambers Group is about to shift again. Some viper, squirming in its dark pit, must be in a panic by now."

At the city hospital, in a ward, Jeff's face turned stormy as he reviewed the share transfer agreement signed by Matthew.

"Mr. Jeff Chambers, are you truly not going to see Mr. Matthew Chambers one last time?" His secretary asked tentatively.
