His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1211

Elvis’s clear eyes widened, and his heartbeat grew heavy and labored.

He understood, of course.

While they launched their own offensive, they needed someone on the inside to coordinate with them for a guaranteed victory. Elsie was imprisoned, and they had no idea what kind of torture she was enduring. If Hans was truly beginning to disapprove of Chad and Alexia’s actions, he might be able to help Elsie secretly.

But it was a risk.

It meant that, for now, they were betting everything on Hans’s character.

“Chad doesn’t control people for no reason. Once someone is in his grasp, he will use them to their fullest potential.” A heavy weight settled on Thaddeus’s chest. “Only by figuring out what he’s planning can we have any hope of finding Elsie!”

The press conference was scheduled for Saturday at 5:00 PM in the main conference hall of the Abernathy Group hotel.

At 3:00 PM, in the CEO’s office of the Abernathy Group, Chad sat stiffly on the sofa, his expression cold. Alexia stood beside him, her hands trembling as she changed the dressing on his left ear. It had only been two days since he’d been shot. The piece of flesh had been stitched back on, but the wound was a hideous, caterpillar-like scar. Unless he wore a shoulder-length wig, it was impossible to hide.

The man who once appeared gentle and refined now seemed to have a dark cloud hanging over him, radiating a chilling aura that made one’s blood run cold.

“I-I’m sorry, Sir… I did my best.” Alexia’s hands wouldn’t stop shaking. She wasn’t a special effects makeup artist. The wound had still been bleeding and oozing pus that morning. What more could she do?
