His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 473

Having been made to feel slighted by Byron’s inappropriate advances, Nydia didn’t dare to confide in

her father or her elder brother. With a flushed face holding back tears, she hurriedly left the bustling

banquet hall,

As she moved through the crowd, she was bumped by a waiter.

Suddenly, she felt a sting on her arm, like the prick of a bee, but the pain quickly faded.

“Oh, I’m terribly sorry, Miss,” the waiter quickly apologized.

“It’s okay.”

Nydia didn’t think much of the incident and quickly walked away.

The waiter watched her leaving, with a smirk on his face.

The evening breeze gently ruffled Nydia’s soft hair, as she stood alone on a deserted balcony, gazing

at the chilling moonlight and quietly wiping away her tears.

If only Jason were here, he wouldn’t have let her suffer the slightest grievance or injustice.

But she had made up her mind to endearingly let go; from now on, Jason would no longer be a part of

her life.

So, should she make one last call to him, to say everything that needed to be said, to bring closure to it

all?

After much contemplation, Nydia, enduring the acute pain in her heart, tremblingly turned on her

phone.

The signal connected. And in an instant, countless missed call alerts and messages flooded her

screen.

Jason had never stopped trying to reach her. His every word was filled with deep emotion.

Nydia clutched at the stifling ache in her chest, where her heart seemed to be broken into pieces. She

bit her lips bitten until they bled, unable to stop the steady stream of tears.

“Jason. I don’t want to be apart from you.”

Suddenly, her tear–blurred vision darkened, and her body swayed dangerously, and she began to

falter.

“Nydia, what’s wrong?”

A voice of concern reached her. Nydia’s mind was muddled, and buzzing noises filled her ears.

The next moment, she was harshly pulled by someone into a tight embrace.

She could even feel the intrusive hand caressing her shoulder inappropriately.

“Who are you, Don’t touch me!”

Nydia’s body shivered, and although she tried to struggle, she found herself without the strength to do

so, her eyes filling with tears of panic

“Heh, don’t be nervous, relax,” the man said with a sinister laugh, his lips brushing against the cheek

he’d long coveted. “I’ll take good care of you.”

Meanwhile, Cassius acted as President K, playing the role of negotiator amongst the privileged elites.

While he was still mingling with the guests, a bodyguard who had been following Ms. Nydia came

running over, sweating profusely, and pulled Cassius aside.

“Bad news, President Ashbourne. Ms. Nydia is missing!”

Cassius felt his heart tightened with worry, his handsome face darkened. “How could that be? With

such high security here, and you tailing her every move, how could my sister just disappear?”

“She was within our sight at first. Nydia was sitting there talking to Byron.”

Byron?

Cassius had a sudden ominous feeling, and his eyebrows furrowed.

The bodyguard, panic–stricken and wiping sweat, said incoherently. “But then a crowd passed by from

the dance floor, and suddenly she disappeared! Byron is gone too!”

“Idiot!” Cassius’s eyes blazed with fury, his noble visage distorted with anger.

The bodyguard, terrified, was so weak in the knees that he almost knelt, “President Ashbourne, we’ll

start searching right away!”

Cassius’s temples throbbed with a visible vein, his voice hoarse with contained rage. “Search in the

shadows, and don’t alert Chairman Emeric just yet–no need to worry him. If my sister isn’t found before

the banquet ends, consider what your fates will

bel

The A

Ashbourne family’s bodyguards scattered, combing through the castle in a sweeping search.

Cassius was in no mood for pleasantries and promptly set out to search.

Nydia might not be his blood sister, but as the eldest brother, he felt almost a paternal responsibility. He

couldn’t just stand idly by!

He couldn’t bear to tell Evadne, either; with her fiery temper, she might well turn William and his son’s

entire party upside down in her frenzy!

Nydia, please be safe!

His footsteps echoed urgently down the hallways. Cassius, his face beaded with sweat, he dialed

Nydia’s number while running.

Her phone rang but was not answered.

Suddenly, Cassius came to an abrupt stop when he faintly heard a familiar ringtone.

His heart pounding, he followed the sound to the balcony.

There, Nydia’s phone lay abandoned on the ground, the screen displaying the word–Big Brother.”

“Nydia! Where are you? Nydial”

Cassius shouted from the balcony, but there was no reply.

“Big Brother, how can Nydia disappear just like that?”

Evadne and Thaddeus rushed over, followed by an injured Jason, “This place is under tight security,

and we have records of all guests. How can Nydia just vanish? I don’t buy it! She must be somewhere

in this castle, she couldn’t have left this place!”

Jason’s anxiety was aflame within him, his tears mingling with blood from his wounded eye. He was

neared the brink of breakdown.

“It’s all my fault, I was too careless! Cassius exclaimed, punching his fists against the railing in self–

reproach.

“Nydia will be alright. No one would dare harm the daughter of Chairman Emeric while he’s in

attendance, not unless they’re tired of living” Thaddeus said, grasping Evadne’s trembling shoulders,

his thin lips set in determination. “Since we found the phone here, let’s start by checking the

surveillance footage nearby.”

Cassius’s avas

eyes were red with anger, “I’ll send someone to get it right away!

“Too slow! The more time we waste, the more danger Nydia faces!”

Evadne clenched her jaw, beads of sweat on her forehead. “Big Brother, get me a high–performance

computer. I’ll hack into the system myself! Forget about mere surveillance–l can bring the whole

castle’s security network down if I have to.”

Cassius and Jason had been too tense to remember-

The young lady was a first–class hacker, her skills trained by the legendary agent Elvis; she was not to

be underestimated!

Thaddeus stared at her, with a surge of intense admiration in his eyes:

His woman was nothing short of divine.

He should have been used to it by now.

Cassius immediately had someone bring the best–performing laptop available on the market.

Evadne’s gaze was sharp as she intently watched the screen, her delicate fingers dancing across the

keyboard in a sight to behold.

Three big guys leaned in close together, hunched over right behind her, with their eyes glued to her

moves as if watching the final moments of the Super Bowl.

Evadne rapidly inputted a sequence of characters that might as well have been hieroglyphs to the

untrained eye. A flurry of green code flashed across the screen. While it seemed like a blur to the

onlooker, she effortlessly decoded and bypassed it, leaving all of her onlookers in awe!

Back in military academy, Thaddeus had aced every course, and he knew something about hacking

too, but next to Evadne, hel was nothing.

Ten minutes later, the screen flickered and switched to a live surveillance feed.

What they saw next stunned them-

Nydia, caught by several cameras, was entwined with a man. And that man, who had been flirting with

her throughout, was none other than Byron!

“That snake!” Thaddeus’s eyes blazed with fury.

But what was truly eerie was Nydia’s attitude toward Byron.

tive eyes and ringing

Nydia was the one willingly wrapping her arms around the man’s waist, resting in his embrace with a

seductive eyes

Voices!

Their relationship was oozing with oddly intimacy.

Evadne’s caught her breath, a shiver coursing through her!

Is it really true, Nydia and Byron?”

Jason’s felt a heavy drop in his heart, his head shaking in denial. “That can’t be true. How could Nydia

fall for that scumbag?”

“We all know what kind of person Nydia is. There’s got to be something fishy going on here!”

Then they saw Nydia and Byron headed to the top–floor guest area. After turning a corner, the two

disappeared from view.

“Damn it! Byron’s making his move on Nydial We’ve got to stop him now! Cassius was usually calm

and composed, but now he was freaking out.

Jason felt like his world was crumbling, overwhelmed by a torrent of emotions in just a few seconds.

If Byron dared lay a finger on his beloved, he’d make him pay. If he couldn’t kill him, he’d make his life

a living hell!

Jason even prepared for the worst

If Nydia was no longer pure, he wouldn’t love her any less. He’d steadfastly marry her.

No matter what happened, in his eyes, she’d always be the epitome of grace and purity.

Evadne cursed, her regret so intense, “How could my reputation be ruined by such a brutel If I had

known his vile intentions for Nydia, I should have let him die on the operating table!”

“I’ll immediately send someone to take control of control Byron’s cronies covertly.”

Thaddeus made a swift and decisive command to action. “Byron’s just a cripple, He couldn’t have

orchestrated such a sly scheme this alone. His men must be privy.”

With a swift flick, a flash of cold steel gleamed.

It was so fast that no one saw how Cassius’s crucifix dagger had appeared in his hand.

However, his eyes were even colder than his blade, “My dagger, it hasn’t tasted blood for a long time.

Since Byron, that swine, is eager to meet his maker, who am I to deny him?”

In a

a state of complete unawareness, Nydia was carried into the guest room by Byron.

She was tossed onto the large bed, her mind foggy, her body flushed with an unnatural heat, with her

lips parted slightly as she breathed heavily.

What an enticing scene!

Byron licked his lips greedily hastily stripping himself bare.

“F-! What’s going on?”

He quickly realized a serious problem–He couldn’t get it up!

Byron gasped for breath, trying every method he could think of. But he remained frustratingly limp, not

a hint of arousal stirred below.

He had once earned a reputation for his unyielding virility, but now, he seemed to capitulate before the

fray even commenced. If word got out, he’d be a laughingstock!

Once the drug’s effects wore off, Nydia would awaken soon. Wouldn’t he then be accused of assault?

Byron instantly cursed Evadne, certain it was her fault for interfering with his surgery that led to his

impotence. A quack doctor, indeed!

But he had to have Nydia tonight–it was his only chance!

Thus, Byron faked his way through, tearing Nydia’s clothes to shreds.

The woman’s body was exposed, her delicate waist and soft chest laid bare. Nonetheless, there was

no reaction!

“Motherfucker. I can’t believe this is happening to me!”

Suddenly, a thunderous crash came from behind, scaring Byron so much that he almost wet himself

and quickly hid under the

blar ket.

“Who’s that?”

“Your worst nightmare!”

In the next second, three formidable figures burst through the door.

Before Byron could even react, Thaddeus strode over to the bedside, eyes cold as ice, grabbed Byron

by hair and yanked him out of from the covers with ease–as if he was picking nothing more than a sack

of feathers.

“Ouch! It hurts. It hurts, you bastard! Let go of me!”

Byron, sprawled on the floor and screaming in agony, had his bare buttocks and ugly prosthetic on his

left leg exposed.

Thaddeus clenched his jaw, his boot pressed on Byron’s back, eyelashes lowered with restrained

anger, “Evadne, look away. Don’t sully your eyes.

‘As if I haven’t seen a butt before!

Evadne vehemently spat at the wailing Byron on the floor, then rushed to the bed, her heart shattering

as she pulled back the covers, “Byron! you’re dead meat!”

“Nydia!”

Jason stumbled over with tears of anguish in his eyes. He gently wrapped the girl he treasured in the

blanket with his trembling hands.

Even now, he couldn’t bring himself to look at her, to touch her.

Jason, holding Nydia through the fabric, cradled her close with all his might, his battered hands

ceaselessly soothing her, like comforting a newborn in swaddling clothes,

“Don’t be afraid. I’m here. No one will ever hurt you again.”

And at that moment, Nydia’s consciousness slowly returned. She weakly opened her eyes.
