His Ex-Wife: The Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 930

Actually, Evadne was just playing a little gwith Thaddeus, teasing him for fun. She knew exactly how

dependable her man was, even if others didn't.

But her joke seemed to have frightened Mr. Abernathy. He dropped to one knee before her, lifting his strikingly

handsface to look at her with utmost sincerity, raising three fingers as he vowed:

"Evadne, |, Thaddeus Abernathy, swear that in this life, the next, and every life to come, | will love only you,

Cynthia Winter. | will cherish only you, and want only you. If | falter, may | be struck by lightning and die a

gruesdeath!"

"Oh... alright, | was just joking."

Evadne couldn't bear to see him so serious and tried to cover his mouth, but he caught her hand firmly.

"Last night, I did go out, with Elvis and Aaron. We went to The Velvet Haven."

Evadne's heart leaped, her voice trembling as she caressed his chiseled cheek. "My God... You kept such a big

thing from me? Nothing bad happened, right?"

"Relax, it's all good." Thaddeus covered her hand with his, gently caressing it. "Elvis found out that the person

behind the hit on Mrs. Jones was Avery's secretary, Harvey. He tried to call you, but you were asleep. | couldn't

bear to wake you, and | was worried about Elvis going alone, so | rushed over. And even if you were awake, |

wouldn't have let you go."

Evadne felt a warmth in her heart, lifting his face to plant a kiss on his forehead.

"Unfortunately, Avery anticipated this and had The Velvet Haven shut down, dismissed everyone, and he and

Harvey have already left Emsworth, even left the country."

Thaddeus clenched his teeth in self-reproach. "It's my fault, we were a step too late."

Evadne felt a heavy weight on her heart. "Then... what about Elsie?"

"She left yesterday, and from what the hostess there said, she's planning to marry Harvey."

"What?! Then Elvis, he..."

"Elvis is not taking it well." The man's eyes shadowed with sorrow. "It takes the person who tied the bell to untie

it. | think the only way to get Elvis back on his feet is to find Ms. Archer."

Evadne's lashes fluttered, her eyes moist with empathy, feeling deeply for Elsie. "Elsie... she's had it so tough,

really tough. I'm so worried about her..."

She had already considered Elsie a friend, a future sister-in-law. No matter her past, Evadne didn't care; she only

hoped her future path would be smooth and bright. That she and Elvis could have a happy ending.

"Evadne, don't cry." Unable to bear seeing her upset, Thaddeus gently wiped the tears from the corner of her

eyes. "We won't give up on Ms. Archer, and neither will Elvis. The priority now is to find Avery as soon as

possible!"

"Fleeing overnight shows he was in a rush; Snakey Avery wasn't fully prepared." Evadne pulled Thaddeus to sit

beside her on the bed, leaning into his embrace, playfully scratching his sharp jawline. "Thaddeus, if you were

him, where would you flee to?"

Thaddeus looked down at her, a doting smile on his lips, looking every bit the smitten ruler with his beloved in

his arms, yet also pondering seriously. "If it were me, I'd go somewhere familiar, or where | have support,

someone to backup. After all, I'm not a fugitive, no need to hide. Hiding, even if | were wanted, many

countries don't have extradition agreements with ours. With the right connections and enough money, one can

still live comfortably."

"You're right," Evadne mused, resting in his strong arms. "So, | think, Avery might have fled back to Helgen."

Thaddeus frowned deeply. "If that's the case, it's going to be difficult. That would be like letting the tiger return

to the mountain."

After all, Avery made his fortune in Helgen. Helgen was his lucky place, his stronghold!

"No matter how hard, we must try. This time, we can't let that snake slip away!" Evadne clenched her teeth. "I'll

contact Debby and Darcy, ask them to have someone check if there's any trace of Avery."

Overnight, the Chambers Group was turned upside down, sending shockwaves throughout the ranks. News of

Chairman Avery's disappearance spread like wildfire in the Emsworth circles, stirring a whirlpool of rumors.

Three days later-

Arnold Ashbourne led his team, storming into the Chambers Group building with undeniable authority. Soon, the

arrival of the prosecutor's team was the talk of the town. This was not just a changing of the guard; it was a

cataclysm!

The current puppet master of the Chambers Group, Mr. West, immediately cto intercept, but Arnold's team

was well-prepared, unstoppable!

"Everyone, freeze! Don't move!" Arnold's powerful command as he kicked in the door sent employees

scrambling, their faces pale with fear. One particularly bold employee, trying to shove documents into a

shredder, was swiftly stopped by Arnold, who seized the documents.

"Seize all computers, hard drives, documents, everything!" Prosecutor Arnold's command set his team into

action, sweeping through the place like a force of nature.

"Mr. West," Arnold called out coolly, hands in his pockets.

"Ah...?" Mr. West was visibly shaken.

"We're here to investigate a serious case of embezzlement and bribery involving your Mr. Chambers. Please

cooperate with our investigation."

Mr. West, sweating profusely, nodded. "Of course..."

"Where's Avery's office?" Arnold's gaze was piercing, his presence so formidable

it felt as though a storm raged around him. "Take us there, now."
