His Ex wife is a billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) Novel Full Episode
His Ex wife is a billionaire Chapter 399

Chapter 399 

Thaddeus didn’t delve deep into this, his mind was preoccupied with her smoke allergy, he was both guilty and upset. 

“I’ll call Gordon to deliver. Or maybe he can cook it himself. His culinary skills may not match Mr. Jason’s, but it’s decent enough.” 

Thaddeus noticed Evadne was barefoot, her pale and tender feet exposed without shoes. With a frown, he easily lifted her by her slim waist. 

“What are you doing?” Evadne grabbed onto his broad shoulders in panic. 

“How can you be so careless? The tiles are cold, you shouldn’t be barefoot.” 

Thaddeus gently sat Evadne on the table, knelt before her, and warmed her feet in his hands. 

So warm, all the warmth she knew well. 

Evadne closed her eyes in comfort, not daring to be too obvious. 

“Alva once told me that a woman’s feet are important. You mustn’t catch a chill, or it will bring illness in later years.” 

Thaddeus looked at her with a mix of concern and reproach. “Don’t do this again.” 

“But I was in a hurry!” Evadne felt chastised and retorted. 

Thaddeus raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile on his l*ps. “In a hurry? Afraid I’ll run off?” 

Evadne’s cheeks reddened, her toes curling in his palm. 

“You were unconscious. How could I leave you behind? I won’t go.” 

How could he bear to leave? 

He wanted to stay by her side every night, to reside in her heart. 

Thaddeus gently caressed her slim legs, slowly stood up, held her waist, and k*ssed her forehead. 

But that could never satisfy him. When it came to her, he was never satiated. 

The temperature of Evadne’s skin was rising, her cheeks flushed with bashfulness. 

Despite everything they had done, she was still shy when he approached her.. 

Just as Thaddeus‘ l*ps were about to touch her soft skin, the doorbell rang. 

He didn’t want to answer it, yet it kept ringing! 

Buzzkill! 

“S 

Embarrassed, Evadne pushed Thaddeus away. “What’s going on? Who could be ringing the doorbell? Only my brothers know this place, and they all have the passcode.” 

“It’s Gordon.” 

Thaddeus was getting a headache recalling his clueless secretary. “I told him to come here if there’s news.” 

“What news?” 

“News about Elspeth and the murderer.” 

Evadne’s eyes brightened, she couldn’t wait to jump off the table. 

The next second, she was in the air, lifted by Thaddeus! 

“You haven’t put on your shoes. It’s best not to touch the ground with your feet.” 

Evadne’s eyes widened, shocked by his strength. Only Emeric used to carry her like this when she was little, but she was much lighter then. 

Hormones were flying. 

With Evadne’s protests in the background, Thaddeus opened the door. 

‘Mr. Thaddeus?” 

Gordon was surprised to see Thaddeus holding Evadne like a child, both looking disheveled as if they had just woken up. 

Oh my God. Oh my God! 

Gordon was shocked, his mind racing, his face turning red, and his jaw almost dropping! 

Could it be, this dream couple had finally reconciled? Could he finally rest in peace? 

“Thaddeus, put me down!” Evadné was so embarrassed she didn’t know where to put her facé, she grumbled in his ear. 

“Ms. Evadne, may I let him in?” Thaddeus looked at her, gently asking. 

In front of Gordon, Evadne had no choice but to nod, despite the anger in her eyes. 

“Ah, can I come in too then?” 

Another familiar voice lazily chimed in. 

Both Thaddeus and Evadne were taken aback, seeing Jareth had appeared behind Gordon! 

He was grinning, his eyes squinted, his smile wicked and irritating! 

“Congratulations.” 

“Congratulations on what?” Thaddeus glared at him. 

“Congratulations on finally not having to stand outside.” Jareth said, giving Evadne a meaningful look. 

Evadne was speechless.  Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Thaddeus frowned, “You, say what you need to say, or get out.” 

“I do have something! I wouldn’t come otherwise, can the lovebirds let me in?” Jareth asked cheekily. 

Thaddeus said, “Come in.” 

Evadne said, “We are not lovebirds!” 

Ignoring her, Jareth brazenly entered. 

Thaddeus put Evadne down and personally helped her put on her shoes. 

Evadne quickly put some distance between them, but her actions made her look guilty. 

The four of them sat in the living room, Thaddeus sat next to Evadne, so close she could hardly breathe. As he tried to put his arm around her waist, she dodged him. 

Thaddeus couldn’t help but chuckle, he played with her hair when she wasn’t looking. 

She’s so petty, not the passionate woman from last night. 

That was when Evadne found out that Thaddeus had sent Gordon to track Elspeth. 

And Jareth had followed because there was important news, they were all eager to report to Thaddeus. 

“Did Elspeth meet with Ward?” Thaddeus asked with a dark gaze. 

“No, with all the attention right now, Elspeth wouldn’t dare meet Ward. That would be like walking into a trap, announcing to the world that they’re in 

cahoots.” 

Gordon was thirsty, he took a gulp of water before continuing, “I found out she went to Elmsworth Bank to see the bank manager.” 

“Is she going to transfer a large amount of wealth?” Evadne asked, quick to catch on. 

Gordon gave her a thumbs up, “Mrs. Abernathy, you are so smart!” 

Thaddeus smiled, very satisfied with the title. 

Evadne blushed, her annoyance clear, but her curiosity got the best of her. “Continue!” 

“Then, I discovered through my resources that she had a secret account in the Bank of Country R. I don’t know how much money is in there, but I did find out how much she recently transferred to Elmsworth Bank. 

A whopping 20 million!” 

“20 million? Wow, the old hag sure did save up for her funeral.” Jareth raised his eyebrows, unable to resist a jibe. 

“I suppose this must be the hush money and escape fund Ward demanded from her.” Thaddeus sneered, his eyes cold. 

“But what surprised me more is that Elspeth could just casually pull out such a large sum from her account at the Bank of Country R!” Gordon was genuinely astonished. 

“As far as I know, Elspeth has some shares in the Abernathy Group, and her annual dividends have added up to more than 20 million by now. So it’s not surprising that she can afford it.” Evadne pondered, her finger resting on her delicate jawline. 

Thaddeus fixed his gaze on her, “Elspeth has a lot of money, but every penny is under Frederic’s control. Her account with the Abernathy Group is completely transparent. In a way, this is also Frederic’s way of controlling her. So the money in the Bank of Country Rmust be her secret funds, of which Frederic is unaware. And the origin of this money is dubious. I’ve long suspected that Elspeth has been using Glynnis‘ Moonlit Treasures to bribe and launder money. But no matter how hard they try, it would be hard to make 20 million just from Moonlit Treasures.” 

“Why didn’t you expose them if you had evidence?” Evadne twisted her waist to face him, her eyebrows gathered in protest. 

Thaddeus‘ deep eyes softened, his fingers released her hair, and his palm gently covered her waist. 

The gesture was so gentle that Evadne didn’t notice., 

However, it made the two ‘third wheels‘, Jareth and Gordon, grind their teeth in annoyance! 

“Firstly, exposing Moonlit Treasures wouldn’t be enough to completely take down Elspeth and Glynnis. Secondly, Frederic would defend them at all costs. If I acted rashly, it would indirectly harm the Abernathy Group, leading to unpredictable losses.” 

Evadne nodded slowly, understanding his predicament at the time. 

Frederic had more than one son. In the eyes of outsiders, Thad was the illegitimate child who had claimed his rightful place. There was a legitimate heir 

as well. 

She knew how hard it was for him to become the president of the Abernathy Group, and she also knew about his precarious situation all these years. 

If he lost his power in the Abernathy Group, he would be at the mercy of others. For his mother’s sake, he had to fight. 

Thinking of his tragically deceased mother, Thaddeus was overwhelmed with pain, his breathing heavy. “Back then, I didn’t know that Elspeth was the mastermind behind my mother’s death. So I chose not to expose this matter. Evadne, you must think I’m a coward, useless, right? Indeed. I also feel that I’m completely useless.” 

Upon hearing this, Jareth and Gordon were shocked! 

After all, they had just met Thaddeus. Thanks to Evadne’s comforting presence, Thaddeus was able to recover somewhat, so there was no time to fill them in on these details. 

Evadne felt a sharp pain in her heart at the sight of the man’s desolate expression. 

Her eyes reddened, and she wanted to reach out to comfort him, but her stubborn heart held her back. “Don’t blame yourself. You were still young then. How could you know how cruel people can be? Revenge is a dish best served cold. Even if it takes ten or twenty years, it’s not too late.” 

Thaddeus looked up in surprise, meeting her determined gaze. 

If it weren’t for the two fools in front of them, he would have held her tight, k*ssed her passionately, and cherished her. 

“But you’re right about one thing: the evidence you have right now can’t really hurt Elspeth and Glynnis. Frederic will do everything he can to protect them. Even if Elspeth goes to jail, she won’t be in for long. Frederic will hire top–notch lawyers like Cedric to help her, and she’ll probably be out in a few years.” “So we must make sure that the old witch pays for her crimes and rots in jail!” Gordon stood up abruptly, his anger clear. 

“That’s not enough?” 

Evadne and Thaddeus shared a thought and said in unison, “She must pay with her life!” 

“Right, right! Death penalty!” Gordon nodded vigorously, his face full of anger. 

“Damn, I gotta ask, what the hell does Mr. Frederic see in Elspeth? She’s neither humane nor beautiful! How could Hamilton’s son be so blind!” Jareth was so angry his fists clenched and his eyes flamed, “What do we have to do to make your father completely give up on that old witch?” 

“The only way would be if Mr. Frederic found out that Elspeth cheated on him, and that she has a bastard child.” 

Gordon casually replied, “For a man like Mr. Frederic, who is so high and mighty, what he values most is his pride. If he found out that his wife cheated on him, he would definitely not protect Elspeth anymore! 

Any man with dignity wouldn’t tolerate this!” 

“Yep, she did cheat on him, more than once.” Evadne’s beautiful eyes narrowed coldly. 

The three men’s expressions reflected shock, “Whaaat?” 

“I know about Alex, who else?” Thaddeus gazed intently at Evadne. 

“Do you remember Dr. Victor mentioned in the recording we heard at the police station?” 

Thaddeus noticed a crafty light in her eyes and immediately realized, “Is he your inside man?” 

“Smart, as expected of Thaddeus.” 

Evadne unexpectedly praised him, causing Thaddeus to blush. “He was a student our K Group sponsored. I knew him back when I was at school. To pay us back, he agreed to join our team of avengers.” 

Known him, since school? 

Thaddeus felt alarm bells ringing in his head. He asked in a low voice, “A guy?” 

“Thad, do you have cotton in your ears? Could Elspeth’s lover be a woman?” Jareth raised an eyebrow, finding Thaddeus quite amusing in his current state of love. 

Thaddeus looked a bit upset. 

“What’s wrong? Don’t tell me you’re jealous.” 

Jareth, his only friend, knew him too well and couldn’t help but tease him. “Well, there’s nothing wrong with you being jealous. The guy is a doctor, has a good job, and must be a top student to have been sponsored by K. Elspeth must have found him attractive. Older women love to go for young pups, maybe Dr. Victor is more youthful and energetic than you.” 

Thaddeus took a deep breath, his eyes like daggers as they flew to Jareth’s annoying face, 

“And if Dr. Victor pursued Evadne, she might consider it, right, Evadne?” 

Evadne smiled and nodded, “I might.” 

Thaddeus‘ eyes turned red in an instant, almost choking on his own anger! 

Back to the main topic. 

“So, Mrs. Abernathy, was it your plan to have Dr. Victor seduce Elspeth?” Gordon asked in surprise. 

“Not just that.” 

Evadne swayed her slender finger, “Elspeth has also developed a drug addiction.” 

The three men were shocked, “What?” 

“She’s been injecting a banned drug, usually used for clinical anesthesia. But many celebrities and nobles will also secretly get it for themselves. 

Over time, they develop a strong dependence on the drug. If they use too much, they gradually become delirious, lose their ability to act, and even become incontinent.” Evadne’s eyes darkened, flashing cold light. 

She remembered all the things Myra had suffered because of Elspeth’s schemes. Her eyes reddened as she clenched her fists. 

She thought, “Elspeth, what would it take for you to atone? You have to suffer a thousand, a million times more than those you’ve hurt, to atone!”
