Chapter 690
Elva’s moisture eyes were filled with confusion, but she eventually took the document handed to her.
Flipping through the pages, perusing details carefully, her heart raced, and she abruptly stood up!
“This is?”
“This is the kidney match Thaddeus found for your father,” Evadne said, her voice as soft as if she were
consoling a friend. “Kidney donors are hard to come by. You’ve been searching for a long time and
should know how complicated the process is. Many people with deep pockets can’t even find a
compatible kidney, and even if they do have one forcibly transplanted, the body might reject it, leading
to all sorts of adverse reactions, and the kidney would likely fail before long. Mr. Thaddeus has pulled
every string to find this donor.”
Elva’s gaze clung to the lifesaving documents in her hands, letting her tears fall onto the paper, soaking
the black ink.

an invisible fire, her words deliberate, “Ms. West, we want to help you escape from your
Knowing that Ms. Evadne was close with Camille, Elva realized that she must have known about the
domestic abuse she suffered. She felt a surge of humiliation, and her pale face gradually flushed with
shame, “You just want to use this as leverage, to expose the domestic abuse or spy on him for you, to
help take him down. Ms. Evadne, you don’t have to sugarcoat using me.” Thaddeus‘ brow furrowed; he
realized this seemingly fragile woman wasn’t as easily swayed as she appeared.
“Using? Perhaps.”
Evadne admitted with a clear laugh. “But if we both benefit and avoid harm, it’s not using, but
cooperating. Ms. West, Mr. Thaddeus, and I would like to propose a cooperation with you. Would that
be possible?”
Elva’s eyes slowly lifted to meet those of the earnest, beautiful woman before her, her heart pounding
fiercely.
It had been so long since she had felt respected.
Whether it was outsiders or the servants of the Chambers family, they openly called her “Mrs.
Chambers” and “the young mistress,” but behind her back, they showed no respect, treating her as a
marginalized pawn of the Chambers Group, to be disposed at Matthew’s whim.
When Evadne addressed her as “Ms. West,” it warmed her cold blood.
For a moment, she felt herself returning back to her days as a young girl, being the treasured daughter
of the West family, cherished by her parents and brother. Those were the happiest days of her life.
“I want to go home. I want to go back to the old days,” Elva murmured, choking back sobs.
Evadne’s heart warmed, “If you’re willing, we can help you break free from the Chambers Group. You
can go home and return to your former life.”
Clutching the documents to her chest tightly, Elva asked, “What do I need to do before you’ll help my
father get the transplant?” Thaddeus, with his deep–set eyes, said, “Domestic violence is a family
skeleton, and as the direct victim, speaking it out will surely bring you a lot of trouble. You could use it
as a weapon to fight back or choose to remain silent.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElva was surprised.
It was just a transaction, but they were still considerate of her feelings.
“Ms. West, you’ve been married to Matthew for years; you must know some of his dark secrets. Tell us
the clues, provide as much evidence as possible, and we can investigate in secret.
We promise to protect your safety and keep our cooperation with you from Matthew. In return, I will
deliver the matching kidney to Elmsworth within three days and immediately arrange transplant surgery
for your father,” Evadne offered sincerely, with every detail considered.
Elva stared at her intently, asking softly, “And I suppose I’ll need to sign some agreement, a contract?”
“Bring it here. I’ll sign it now.”
Evadne shook her head with a smile, “No need.”
Thaddeus watched the serene face of his little wife with surprise.

As a seasoned businessman, as wise as he was, he couldn’t decipher her intentions with this move.
“No need? Ms. Evadne, are you sure?”
Elva looked at her incredulously, “Aren’t you afraid that, after the surgery, I might suddenly change my
mind and refuse to help you? Aren’t businessmen like you most concerned about having a written
record of agreements?”
“I’m doing this to let you know, whether we conduct a transaction or not is entirely up to you, Ms. West.”
Evadne said calmly, her red lips curved into a comforting smile, “If you sign, it’s a transaction. If not,
consider it a battle fought for yourself and your family, a glorious revenge.
ར ཕར ཅན ༑
Even if after the surgery, you decide to return to the Chambers family due to the overwhelming
pressure, I won’t blame you.
After all, I’m a doctor myself, and compassion is my calling. Besides, Mr. West was my second
brother’s mentor. Consider this as paying my brother’s debts of gratitude.”
Hearing this,
St W us, an observer, was deeply moved, let alone Elva.
Evadne was never to be underestimated. She indeed carried with her the demeanor of a queen.
For Elva, years of suppressed anger, humiliation, defiance, and pain, now transformed into torrents of
tears, breaking forth from her
eyes.
She sobbed and threw herself into Evadne’s
“s,
holding back until she could no longer, and then she cried out loud.
Leaving the hospital, Thaddeus kept a firm arm around Evadne all along. They silently agreed to the
quiet on the way back.
It wasn’t until they were back in the car that Evadne’s tense emotions relaxed. She leaned into the
man’s warm chest. Resting her forehead against his broad shoulder, she began to cry softly.
Hearing her delicate sobs, Thaddeus‘ breathing grew heavy, and his hand gently stroked her back, his
heart growing tender and
soft.
“My darling,” he cooed indulgently, his lips slightly parting as he nipped on her ear, “You used to be this
fearless powerhouse of a woman. Why have you become more prone to tears now?”
“Tsk, I don’t cry in front of others, only in front of you is that not allowed?”
Evadne retorted coquettishly, pulling at his tie to dab at her tears, “Just like how in those classic s,
the fiery heroine only shows her tender side to her one true love.”
“Of course, it’s allowed.”
Thaddeus‘ heated breath enveloped her ear, his voice so husky that it sent shivers down her spine,
“But remember, from now on, you can only cry in front of me.”
With a haughty sniff, Evadne snuggled back into his embrace, “I can’t believe I shed tears over Elva’s
troubles, Thaddeus. You must think I’m so weak and silly:”
“Not at all, my wife is incredibly smart, the smartest in the world.”
He praised her until words failed him, and with a helpless sigh added, “Evadne, you’re just too kind–
hearted.”
Evadne had actually prepared a contract.
But when she saw Elva from a distance, who was sitting alone in helplessness because she couldn’t
save her father, Evadne’s heart softened instantly. She remembered her own vulnerabilities when
Emeric was seriously ill and bedridden.
For a moment, the calculating and shrewd lady took a back seat, and all she wanted was to lend Elva a
helping hand. That was
all.
“Even if Elva goes back on her word later, it doesn’t matter. We have plenty of time, and your man has
ways to deal with Matthew.” Thaddeus‘ arched brows furrowed, “However, finding a top–notch surgeon
to perform a kidney transplant for Elva’s father within three days is quite rushed,”
“Hey, did you forget? Your wife is a top–notch surgeon.”
With one hand on her hip and the other forming a peace sign, Evadne beamed, “Dr. Eve, at your
service!”
Thaddeus was stunned.
Seeing her witty appearance, he couldn’t hold back any longer and was about to lean in to steal a kiss,
when a call from Gordon inconveniently came through.
“Gordon, what’s the matter?”

Thaddeus‘ voice was a bit hoarse, his fingertips stained with the rouge from Evadne’s lips.
“Mr. Thaddeus, those three students have been dealt with as per your and Mrs. Abernathy’s
instructions. One of them had his family company’s various scandals and product flaws exposed, now
on the brink of bankruptcy. The police dug up plenty of unearthed numerous criminal evidence against
his father, who was detained early this morning.
Another young one got caught in prostitution scandals. All the photos and videos have already been
anonymously shared by my contacts on the Internet; now the netizens are having a field day with his
masterpiece. His father’s political career is probably going to be well ruined by his son’s actions,”
Gordon reported with glee.
Thaddeus nodded in satisfaction, “And the third?”
“That one?”

say he won’t be fathering children. He was rushed to the hospital, and it’s been touch and go for a day
and a night. It’s still uncertain whether he will be live or die. But from what I’ve heard, even if he
survives, he will be completely ruined.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEvadne’s delicate brows knitted together, casting a meaningful look at Thaddeus.
Thaddeus‘ expression darkened, “You didn’t do this, did you?”
“Of course not! I need to

continuing, “I did some digging at the school afterwards. The day after Ms. Marilla’s incident, people
from the Fairhaven group went to the school and copied the surveillance footage from the scene of the
crime.
Normally, that footage should be confidential, but the principal can’t afford to offend the Fairhaven
Group–they even funded the new library for the school. So, without a second thought, he handed it
over. I guess Jareth must have seen something on those footages, which is why he went after that kid
with such vengeance.”
The couple agreed whole–heartedly. This merciless methodology was very much in line with Jareth’s
style.
Seeing that it wasn’t too late, Evadne and Thaddeus decide

“Really? Those jerks who bullied that girl got what they deserved?!”
Marilla sat between Evadne and Thaddeus, holding their arms with one hand on each side, radiant with
joy, “That’s great! What goes around comes around! Now Don can rest in peace, knowing I didn’t let
him down and finally got justice for his daughter!”
“Marilla, you’re as good as your word, a real heroine among women,” Evadne cuddled her head next to
Marilla’s.
Thaddeus watched with a tender smile playing on his lips.
Ignoring the age and height differences, he thought Marilla seemed more like their own daughter, with a
pure, innocent, childlike
soul.
“Who did all this? Was it Aaron?” Marilla blinked with her long lashes.
At the mention of Aaron, Evadne and Thaddeus exchanged looks.
How should they respond?
While they were acting on Aaron’s request, they were the ones who had executed the plan and even
then, not entirely by their own hands. But if they told the truth, considering Marilla’s admiration and
hopes placed on Aaron, would it disappoint her?
A moment of hesitation was taken as an affirmation to Marilla.
“Wow, so it was Aaron who did it, right? Aaron is so amazing!”
The girl clapped her hands with delight, “I knew it! Aaron always keeps his promises, he’s so capable!”
At that moment, the sound of measured footsteps approached.
Marilla looked up following the sound.
Her eyes met Jareth’s, and her first instinct wasn’t to rush into his arms as she used to, but to lower her
head like a child who had done something wrong, her hands twisting together until they turned red.
She had mentioned Aaron – Jarethmust have heard it, hadn’t he?
Jareth hated it when she talked about Aaron – he must be angry with her now, right?
A fleeting shadow crossed Jareth’s beautiful eyes, but it vanished quickly as he then smiled.
