His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 750

Evadne felt a tightness in her chest, signaling to Jason to wait before questioning closely Arnold, "Is this true? Are you certain?!"

"Mr. Bartley has always been cautious over the years. He wouldn't spread rumors without solid evidence. That's why he's managed to navigate politics so smoothly for so long."

Arnold's tone darkened, "So, I believe it's true. Evadne, Ms. Marilla Abernathy is facing an arranged marriage, isn't she? To wed without love, will she be content? Can she find happiness?"

Marilla, of course, was far from willing! There must be some deep, dark secret behind it all!

"Grandpa and Mr. Frederic Abernathy disapprove of Jareth, and they despise the entire Fairhaven Group. But Marilla mustn't marry Alston Bartley either!"

"Evadne, you know Mr. Bartley's son?"

Evadne clenched her fist, her knuckles cracking, "That man, shallow as a puddle, with his sly, slim eyes - the spitting image of a conniving weasel!"

Both Arnold and Jason were silent.

"Arnold, thanks for the important info. I'll cook up some pork knuckles for you when I get home, your favorite."

After hanging up, Evadne took a deep breath to calm her nerves and turned to Jason.

"Jason, what's happened?"

"Ms. Ashbourne, as you instructed, I've been keeping tabs on Glynnis. Our people followed her to the airport in country Z, where she was whisked away upon arrival and is now safely in country M."

Jason's eyes flashed with intensity, "Country Z is a backwater, a melting pot of all sorts. But country M is a developed nation, a dazzling world. Surely someone couldn't bear to see Glynnis suffer and has secretly moved her to country M."

"It must be Frederic's doing. Not only because he can't bear to see Glynnis in hardship but also to trouble Thaddeus," Evadne was visibly distracted, her thoughts with Marilla, who was trapped in dire straits.

"Don't forget who's in country M, Ms. Ashbourne," Jason reminded gravely.

A faint chill flickered in Evadne's attractive eyes, "You mean, Chad Abernathy?"

"He's been out of sight for years, and we've had no clue about his standing within the Abernathy family, his character, or his relations with the rest. I’m afraid that with Glynnis in country M, she might enjoy Chad's favor. If so, wouldn't Mr. Thaddeus Abernathy's efforts be in vain?" Jason's face was etched with concern.

Evadne's rosy lips were pressed slightly, "I doubt it. Chad hasn't had contact with the rest of the Abernathy family members for years. Only recently has he been in touch with Thaddeus, and he's had no interactions with his half-sister Glynnis. If he wanted to help Glynnis, he would've done so openly, not sneak around like this."

Jason nodded thoughtfully.

"Besides, I'm not concerned with whether Chad will help Glynnis. What interests me more is her current condition," Evadne’s lips were curled up faintly, her sarcasm thinly veiled.

"Rest assured, Ms. Ashbourne, our people have followed her to country M and will continue to keep a close watch on Glynnis."

Evadne's gaze turned uneasy again as she glanced at her watch.

"Jason, have the car ready."
