His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1347

She was a burning flame.

But he refused to be the moth drawn to the light. He wanted to be the one playing with the fire.

...

Inside the interrogation room.

Aaron personally led the interrogation. He tossed a crime scene photo onto the table, sliding it right in front of Chad.

"Take a look. Aside from your uncle, Mason Austin, do you recognize the other man?"

Chad lowered his gaze, his voice perfectly level. "I don't know him."

Aaron scoffed coldly. "You don't know him? Twenty years ago, this man kidnapped you, locked you in a dog cage, and tortured you for days. That's a pretty traumatic event. You must think about him every day, wishing you could rip him apart. How could you possibly forget him?"

Chad's dark eyes concealed a chilling hostility, yet he maintained his polite smile.

"Is that him? Like you said, it's been twenty years. It's completely normal for me not to remember something from that long ago."

Aaron narrowed his eyes. "But when Thaddeus saw the photo, he instantly recognized him as Morgan, the kidnapper from all those years ago. Your brother is five years younger than you. He was just a child, yet his memory is crystal clear. You were sixteen, practically an adult, and the trauma left you permanently disabled. And you expect me to believe you don't remember him?"

Chad smiled casually. "Then I guess Thaddeus just has a better memory than me. After all, he was always the smart one."

*What a completely unhinged, psychopathic snake!*

Aaron's chest heaved with anger.

However, he knew he wasn't going to break Chad today. Even if he held him for the maximum twenty-four hours, the lack of hard evidence meant he'd eventually have to let him go.

His only goal was to coordinate with Evadne, dragging Chad into the precinct to serve as the catalyst for the massive media storm currently engulfing the Abernathy group.

The rest was up to the internet, the public, and time to let it fester.

...

Soon, the Abernathy group's corporate lawyers arrived at the precinct. Because Aaron deliberately dragged his feet, it was already late into the night by the time Chad posted bail.
