His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1331

Thaddeus Abernathy was slightly surprised, but his mind was too preoccupied to dwell on it. "Is that so? Give me the exact time. If you have a moment, I'll treat you to dinner."

"I have to see you! I'd crawl there or jump out of a plane just to meet up with you!"

"There's no need to be that dramatic," Thaddeus replied, pausing for a moment. "What brings you to Elmsworth?"

Derek Holt lowered his voice conspiratorially. "I'll tell you, but you can't breathe a word to anyone!"

"Then keep it to yourself. I can't keep a secret to save my life."

"Come on," Derek scoffed. "We're brothers-in-arms who survived the battlefield together. I know you better than that. You'd take a secret to your grave!"

Thaddeus was speechless.

"Actually, I'm here escorting His Majesty, the Emperor of Helgen."

"The royal family?"

"I'll fill you in on the details when we meet. Simply put, it involves the royal bloodline. It's not something I can explain in a few words."

Thaddeus had no interest in the secret scandals of foreign royalty, so he replied indifferently, "All right, we'll talk when we see each other."

...

In the early hours of the morning, the luxurious living room of the villa felt empty and cold.

Chad Abernathy sat on a dark red velvet sofa with his long legs crossed, leisurely sipping his red wine. The vintage record player was turned up to maximum volume, filling the dim, oppressive space with a soaring soprano aria.

It masked the agonizing, hoarse cries and whimpers of the woman upstairs.
