His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 772

"Biotech Research Institute?"

Thaddeus' brows furrowed as he exchanged a puzzled glance with Evadne.

They couldn't fathom how Glynnis had gotten involved with such an organization.

"Cassius, you're up late, huh?"

Chasel's voice, lazy and seductive, came through the phone, sending goosebumps all over Evadne.

Those beautiful, alluring fox-like eyes seemed to dance before her once again.

"I'm on the phone with Evadne and the hubby, did I wake you?" Cassius' voice was annoyingly smooth and gentle.

Rustling sounds with ambiguous undertones followed.

"With Evadne? No worries, you guys chat, mmm."

Then, the car was filled with the shameful sounds of lips smacking and saliva mingling.

Thaddeus swallowed hard, sweat breaking out on the palm wrapped around Evadne's waist. He had no choice but to divert his gaze out the window, trying to calm his agitated emotions.

"Hey, hey, hey. Cassius, hold up! Can't you and Chasel get cozy after we finish talking business? Can't it wait just a bit?" Evadne couldn't help but blurt out, embarrassed.

"Sorry Evadne, couldn't help ourselves." Chasel's joyful laughter floated through.

"What exactly is this RC Biotech Institute? A pharmaceutical company?" Evadne pressed again.

Cassius explained softly, "Well, I think Chasel might know better."

"RC was founded five years ago, focusing on medical inventions and drug manufacturing, particularly targeting diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and autism. In the past couple of years, even the government has pumped significant funding into their research. They're like a rising star in the biotech industry."

Chasel yawned, "Why do you ask, though?"

Thaddeus asked gravely, "Who founded this institute?"

"A doctor led the establishment of the institute. Published several academic papers, pretty famous in the medical circles here in Country M. Hey, why are you asking all this?" Chasel, drowsy from Cassius' kisses, dragged his words lazily.

Evadne pressed, "Chasel, what else do you know about it?"

"Not much more. Oh, right, they're working on a drug to treat Alzheimer's. They announced some breakthrough just a few days ago. Now, they're racing against time with the Bright Group. Whoever gets the drug to market first is basically unlocking a massive fortune."

Chasel grumbled, "Hmph, I hope RC gets there first. It's about time to knock Zachary down a peg or two!"

The more they heard, the more complex it seemed.

"Thanks, Chasel. Thaddeus and I will fly over to see you soon, bring you some local delicacies," Evadne said as they wrapped up the call.

Thaddeus' chiseled jaw tightened, his mind whirring.

"Strange, isn't it?"

Evadne frowned, shaking her head, "Glynnis had barely set foot in Country M before somehow getting tangled up with the biotech folks. And there was no prior connection between them."

Jason, driving, chimed in, "Surely Glynnis isn't so desperate that she's selling a kidney or something for research? With her medical history, I doubt she'd fetch a high price."

"Thaddeus, could someone your brother knows be at the institute?"

Evadne's expression grew somber, "When Emeric had that stroke, you flew to Country M to ask your brother for medicine. He got it for you effortlessly, which means he's got connections in the medical field. Is it possible that he couldn't get involved directly, so he sent someone to help Glynnis?"

"Evadne, you're thinking what I'm thinking."

Thaddeus' long lashes cast shadows, his head shaking slightly, "But I still can't figure out why. If it really is my brother, what's his reason? He's never been the type to meddle in such matters."

Evadne leaned back, her lips parting with a tantalizing thought,

"If your brother really did save you back then, sacrificing himself so you could live, I'd respect him as a man of honor and loyalty, unwilling to see his half-sister destitute. Helping her out would be understandable. But if there's more to the kidnapping than we know, or if over the years, his heart has changed toward you, maybe he's no longer the man you knew. Then helping Glynnis might just be his way of giving you grief."

Thaddeus clenched his fists in secret, his broad shoulders trembling slightly beneath the crisp lines of his suit.

Memories ebbed and flowed, dragging him back into that hellish cell.

He could never forget his brother thrown at Windermere Estate's gates by kidnappers, battered and barely alive.

His brother was his savior. Was it a lie?
