His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 710

Aaron’s arrival sent Matthew stumbling backward in an ungainly stagger, his scalp nearly

bursting with terror!

At that moment, four undercover cops streamed in, positioning themselves behind Aaron,

forming an impenetrable wall of steel!

Avery’s heart skipped a beat as the cops barged in unexpectedly, his sinister gaze flicking

toward the unruffled Thaddeus. And the latter, meeting his malevolent stare, narrowed his

dark, austere eyes ever so slightly.

The thick air seemed charged with two sharp arrows clashing viciously, or two formidable

forces of Ice and fire invisibly confronting each other!

Avery had planned to stage a grand spectacle tonight. Well, Thaddeus was about to fuel

that fire, to burn it so fiercely that it would spiral out of Avery’s control.

Marilla, catching sight of the long–absent Aaron, lit up with a doe–eyed sparkle, Almost

reflexively, she lifted her hand to wave, “Hey,”

But then she felt a weight on her shoulder; she slowly looked up to find Jareth’s chiseled

jawline towering over her, and her heart clenched tight, her hand falling back to her side,

her gaze dropping, too timid to look Aaron’s way again.

“What do you want?!” Matthew’s face paled with panic, his legs quivering uncontrollably

inside his trousers.

“Matthew, you’re under arrest for charges of bribery, embezzlement, and rape. Now we’re

operating execution of arrest by law. This is the warrant.” Aaron’s voice cold and

procedural as usual, as he flashed the arrest warrant in front of him, “Do you

understand what I said earlier?”

“I don’t understand!”

Matthew felt as if the sky had collapsed on him in a deafening roar, his mind spinning,

“What do you mean? What evidence do you

have to arrest me?!”

Aaron, a seasoned cop, had seen the depths of human depravity.

Facing Matthew’s pathetic excuses, Aaron remained expressionless, yet each word he

uttered resonated with irrefutable authority, “It’s not me seizing you; it’s the law, meting

out justice and seeking retribution for the victims. Matthew, you have the right to remain

silent. But for a man of the Chambers family, this is your last shred of dignity.”

Just as Aaron was about to cuff Matthew forcibly, the banquet hall’s large screen flickered

to life. What followed were harrowing images and the heart–wrenching cries of young girls

in agony! Each cry struck a chord in the hearts of those who still harbored a

sliver of conscience!

Though the girls‘ identities were obscured, Matthew’s monstrous face was unmistakably

exposed!

And all of this was broadcasted live by the media to the internet, spreading Matthew’s

atrocities like wildfire across the nation. The Chambers Group’s attempts to suppress the

truth were futile.

With a chilling click, the cold handcuffs snapped shut around the wrists of the beast who

had brutalized countless young women.

“It’s not me. That’s not me in the video!”

Matthew, scion of a powerful legacy, clung desperately to life even in the face of doom,

“That video is fake! That’s not me in it!”

“Then who could it possibly be?”

Elva, with her serene and cold beauty, stepped firmly to the center of the crowd, her eyes

brimming with deep–seated hatred, fearlessly locking gazes with Matthew, “These videos

were copied from your study’s computer. By now, the police must have seized your

computer, and those files are incontrovertible evidence.”

Matthew realized too late that he had been outplayed by the woman he had trusted most!

He remembered how she had acted out of normal behavior and seduced him in his study

that night, a ruse to set him up!

She didn’t have the brains or the guts for this, but now she seemed emboldened. Could it

be?

When he caught Evadne and Elva exchanging glances, his scalp tingled with dread, his

neck muscles bulging with rage.

“Bitch. You even conspired with outsiders against me! This isn’t the end!”

Elva’s gaze remained calm and undisturbed as she watched the hideous man before her,

her rosy lips curling into a smile, a single tear tracking down her cheek.

Then, to everyone’s astonishment, she boldly slipped off her emerald evening gown,

revealing her scar–marred body to the gathered crowd.

“Elva.” Evadne gasped at the sight of the resolute and unflinching Elva, her soul shivering

for the woman.

Though covered only by a thin, white silk stip, the tangled scars on her limbs were a

shocking, chilling sight.

Matthew, in all the years I’ve been married to you, was there ever a day you spared me?”

Eva’s smile was a tragic mask, filled with enough venom to tear him apart, “When you

were upset, you hit me, when things didn’t go your way you hit me, you even forced me to

sell my body to please the Chambers Group’s business associates. When t refused, you

beat me mercilessly 1 survived not because you showed mercy, but because I refused to

die. Otherwise, you would have killed me a hundred times over!”

The brutal truth exploded like thunderclaps, one after another. Matthew was less than

human, a vile creature, a demon devoid of all conscience

And as the Chambers Group’s image which had been carefully managed by Avery began

to crumble once again, the scandal exploded more fiercely, more violently, blindsiding

everyone.

The name Chambers Group” would forever be synonymous with every sin in this world.

Their reputation, once at rock bottom, now struggled to rise, shaking even the foundations

of one of the four great families.

In that moment, Avery’s face drained of color, his cheeks twitching with suppressed rage.

The image he had so carefully rebuilt was shattered once again.

He knew that Thaddeus and Evadne were to blame for this chaos!

The scene descended into mayhem. Jeff suffered angina and, after swallowing a piece of

quick–acting heart reliever, was promptly escorted out by his secretary and bodyguards.

As Matthew was led away by the police, he glared venomously at Evadne; still ranting

madly. “Evadne. I know you’re behind all this! Just wait until I get out. I’ll kill you! And

Elva! You sluts! I’ll have my revenge!”

Thaddeus gaze hardened as he pulled Evadne into an embrace that was tight and

impenetrable.

“He’s all bark and no bite, just a dog yapping away. Touch me? He doesn’t have the guts.”

Evadne nestled softly against his chest, her ears tuning into his thunderous heartbeat, a

teasing smile gracing her lips, “Look at you, all scared. That’s not like you at all.”

“I dunno what’s gotten into me, I’m scared, and I can’t control it.”

Taking a deep breath, Thaddeus pressed his chin gently against the crown of her head,

murmuring, “Evadne, Jeff will get Matthew out of this mess. He’s his prodigal firstborn,

after all. And those charges? At most, they’ll put him away for twelve, maybe thirteen

years. He’ll see the light of day again. So, his threats, they’re not just hot air.”

“You’re spooked by his ghost stories?” Evadne lifted her delicate face, her eyes a tender

storm as she looked at him.

He shook his head, his hand cradling the nape of her neck as his lips softly brushed

against her smooth forehead, “No, as long as

I’m around, no one’s laying a finger on you, I just regret letting you take such a risk.

Should’ve never put you in the line of fire. From now on, you just strategize from behind

me, okay?”

“That won’t happen,” suddenly, Elva’s husky voice came.

Looking up, they saw her dressed once again in the evening gown designed by Camille,

tears brimming in her eyes as she approached them.

“Ms. West, you’ve been through so much tonight.” Evadne’s eyes reddened, remembering

how Elva had laid bare her deepest wounds for all to see, just to bring Matthew to justice.

“I should be thanking you and Mr. Abernathy. Without you two, I could never have taken

this step.”

Elva was overcome with gratitude, struggling to find the words, “You gave me a chance at

a new life.”

“Ms. West, that’s too much.” Thaddeus replied with a gentle curve of his lips, his voice

soft, “It was you who saved yourself.”

Evadne chimed in, “Right, Ms. West, what were you trying to say earlier?”

“Matthew’s never getting out of prison again.”

Elva handed over a USB drive, her eyes blazing with a vengeful red, “On here is a

recording of Matthew on the phone that night, Last week, he had his way with a girl on a

cruise ship. Seeking a thrill, he drugged her, leading to her sudden death.

Then he hired the man on the phone to dispose of her body. I managed to record it while

he was asleep and got the man’s number. The police haven’t been alerted yet; if you act

fast, they should be able to catch his accomplice quickly.”

The news hit them hard. Although Matthew was a man of many sins, destined to be nailed

to the pillar of shame, the thought of another young girl falling prey to him still wreaked

havoc on their hearts.

books and embezzling funds for Matthew

over the years. Ms. Ashbourne, Mr. Abernathy. We’ve done all we can. The rest is up to

you. You can do it,” Elva spoke softly, her voice heavy with guilt.

Unable to hold back her tears anymore, Evadne reached out and hugged her tightly, her

own tears quickly soaking Elva’s shoulder. Under the relentless glare of the media’s

cameras, a contorted Matthew was escorted into the back of a police cruiser.

As he was taken away, Aaron caught sight of Marilla, securely in Jareth’s arms not far

away. Even amidst the crowd, he could instantly find her delicate, lovely face an image

seared into his heart, indelible.

–

Good, he thought. She was loved and protected, and that was all that mattered.

With that thought, Aaron forced his intense gaze away, fearing that any lingering second

might betray the secret he harbored.

The Chambers Group was likely in for a sleepless night.

With the three obstacles before Avery now fallen, he yet found no satisfaction. Whether it

was fate’s cruel jest or sheer blindness of the heavens, what he desired always seemed

out of reach.

He longed for Evadne, yet was doomed to be her adversary. He sought Matthew’s penance

to his mother, only for it all to crumble at the moment of fulfillment.

As Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy, the unsung heroes, prepared to get in the car and leave after

taking their revenge, Avery raced to intercept them.

“Evadne, I need a word with you alone,” Avery’s intense gaze was locked on her as he

struggled to catch his breath. His usually impeccable hair was slightly disheveled, a rare

sign of disarray.

Thaddeus felt a surge of protectiveness, his grip tightening around Evadne’s waist as his

eyes filled with concern.

But then, the lady gave him the assurance he needed, her rejection crisp and cold.

“There’s nothing left for us to discuss. If you’ve got something to say, say it now.”

“Why…why did it have to be today?” Avery barely held his emotions in check, a vein

throbbing at his temple.

“Why couldn’t it be today?” Evadne’s derisive retort was as striking as her beauty, “What,

should I have checked the calendar before making a move?”
