His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1259

Chad sat by the windowsill, his eyes closed, basking in the bright, warm sunlight.

His fair, handsome face, with its superior, aristocratic bone structure, possessed a natural, bewitching charm. If she didn’t already know what kind of person he was, Evadne would have been completely deceived by him.

“Mr. Abernathy.” Evadne stopped in front of him.

Chad slowly opened his eyes, tilting his chin up to meet her gaze gently.

“Ms. Evadne, are you ready to accept my proposal?”

“Tell me the truth, will this medicine… have any side effects?”

Evadne’s voice was hoarse, her eyes rimmed with red. “I can’t risk my father’s life.”

Chad shook his head softly. “I’m sorry, Ms. Evadne. I can only promise that your father will live. As for the rest, I can’t give you any guarantees.”

Evadne’s slender fingers curled into tight fists.

“I know you don’t trust me, but right now, you have no other choice.”

Chad looked at her intently, his brown eyes like an unfathomable abyss. “Besides, my target has never been Chairman Emeric. Harming him is of no use to me.

And he is your father. For your sake, I want him to get better.”

Such beautiful words.

Yet they failed to move Evadne’s heart of steel.

Chad spoke calmly. “As long as he stays away from the Abernathy Group and gives up any thought of being the heir, he and I can still be brothers.”

*Like hell I believe you!* Evadne thought.

Evadne had no desire to continue speaking with this man. His sanctimonious hypocrisy, every minute spent in his presence, made her feel suffocated and nauseous.

But in this desperate situation, he was the only one who could help Emeric.

She had to compromise.

And she felt the shame of it.

“Let’s try one course of treatment for Chairman Emeric and see how he responds. If his condition improves, you can choose to continue or stop the treatment.”

Chad watched her without blinking, his voice warm and deep. “It’s all up to you.”
