His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 136

When Evadne got back to her private villa, it was already the crack of dawn.

Nydia had been worried sick about her sister, staying up all night. Her eyes were red and swollen, and

it looked miserable.

“Nydia, don’t beat yourself up. I’m fine. Don’t you have cla**es tomorrow morning? Get some sleep.”

Evadne sat next to Nydia, giving her a hug.

“Evadne, am I useless? You’ve always protected me when we were little, but now that I’m grown up, I

can’t do anything.” Nydia pouted, her eyes brimming with tears.

“What kind of nonsense are you talking about?” Evadne gently knocked on her head. “Because of you

and Myra, our home is filled with harmony. You’re the baby sister that we all adore. You are like our

own little mascot. If you really want to do something for me, then go and chase your dreams. When you

make it big in the entertainment industry. I’m going to have you endorse my products. That way, I can

save some money. Sounds good, right?”

“Evadne, I believe in myself. I’ll definitely make it!” Nydia wiped her tears, nodding fervently.

After a quick wash, Nydia fell asleep almost instantly as soon as she hit the pillow.

Evadne tucked her in before leaving the room.

In the study. Jason was already waiting for her.

“Tonight, Acacia was sent to the hospital for some reason. Have you found out?” Evadne’s eyes turned

cold as she asked, sitting on the sofa.

“We found out. Acacia attempted suicide. She slit her wrists but was saved in time. She’s out of danger

now.” Jason paused, a glint of coldness in his eyes, “and Thaddeus has been by her side the whole

time.”

“Well that’s a no–brainer. Acacia almost killed herself for him. Even if he’s a corpse, he’d have to stick

by Acacia’s bedside.” Evadne said carelessly, not bothered at all.

“Ms. Evadne, what is your take on this Acacia situation?”

“Acacia attempting suicide has got to be the funniest joke I’ve heard all year.”

Evadne leaned back on the sofa, rubbing her temples. “She hasn’t even become the CEO’s wife yet,

and she hasn’t killed me off yet. How could she bear to die? Also, those who truly want to die wouldn’t

be found, otherwise, it’d be pretty embarra**ing if they fail.”

“So, you’re suggesting that Acacia is trying to pressure Thaddeus?”

Jason frowned in confusion, “But why? Isn’t she about to marry Thaddeus? Could it be… Thaddeus

doesn’t want to marry her anymore? So she’s threatening him with suicide.”

Evadne felt a pang of unease, “Who knows. Maybe he’s engaged to one woman but has his eyes on

another. I’ve already been dumped. Maybe Acacia would be his next target. Thaddeus is a playboy

after all. It wouldn’t surprise me who he ditches next.”

“That makes sense, but I still hope they can get married smoothly and live their lives without hurting

others!”

Jason ground his teeth in anger, then asked, “Ms. Evadne, who do you think sent the man who had a

beef with you tonight? Could it be Elspeth? She’s still being detained by Mr. Thaddeus. She wouldn’t

have time for this.”

“He’s a foreigner.” Evadne’s eyes darkened, “He’s a fighter, and he’s very agile. He’s like an

underground boxer. Although he doesn’t have a fixed style, his attacks are very practical. Elspeth

doesn’t have the time, and Glynnis wouldn’t know such people. Only Acacia fits the bill. She’s lived

abroad for three years and her social circles are complex. She’s had close relationships with many

men. It wouldn’t surprise me if she’s got a few simple–minded, strong–bodied men doing her bidding.”

Jason was taken aback, finding Ms. Evadne’s analysis quite convincing.

“As for why that man had a grudge against me, guessing here won’t get us anywhere. We’ll just ask

him tomorrow and we’ll know.”

Evadne suddenly leaned forward, “Oh right, you didn’t let anything slip to Ca**ius, did you?”

Jason sighed helplessly, “Ms. Evadne, I wouldn’t dare disobey your orders. I didn’t reveal anything to

President Ashbourne.”

Evadne breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good.”

Just as she finished her sentence, her phone started ringing.

The name “Ca**ius” on the screen made Evadne’s heart race.

She quickly grabbed her phone, but she didn’t answer.

Then, Jason’s phone rang, but he had to answer!

“President Ashbourne, what can I help you with?” He tried to keep his voice steady.

“Put Evadne on the phone.”

Jason didn’t put the call on speaker, but Ca**ius’s voice was so deep it echoed, making Evadne’s heart

pound!

“Ms. Evadne has already gone to bed, President Ashbourne.”

“Jason, you’re getting bolder. Are you starting to team up with her to lie to me?”

Ca**ius rarely lost his temper, but when he did, it was terrifying, “I’ll say it one more time, put Evadne

on the phone, or come daybreak, you’re no longer Ms. Evadne’s secretary!” Evadne’s heart was

thumping like crazy. Fearing the worst, she quickly took the phone, her voice soft, “Ca**ius.”

Ca**ius took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress some emotion. He said in a low voice, “Evadne,

come out, I need to ask you something.”

With a racing heart, Evadne walked out of the villa’s front gate.

Under the soft street lights, Ca**ius stood expressionless in front of a black luxury car.

He was dressed in a grey suit. Standing under the lights, his tall figure and perfect body were attractive.

What a hunk that Ca**ius was, but right now Evadne was scared witless seeing him.

“Ca**ius.” She tiptoes towards him and whispers.

“It’s chilly tonight. You should get in the car first.”

Without a second thought, Ca**ius slips off his jacket and wraps it around the frail figure of Evadne

before ushering her into the car.

The siblings sit in the back seat, and Ca**ius couldn’t contain himself any longer. He grabbed her

shoulder and anxiously asked, “Where did the bastard hurt you?”
