His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 291

Evadne didn’t bother to bid goodbye to Thaddeus when she left the hospital.

Although the man left her with an unfinished story, she was too proud to ask for more. Even though she was curious about what happened to Thaddeus, she would rather find out by herself than to ask him.

Having spent three years being humiliated, she, the heiress of the Ashbourne family, vowed to hold her head high from now on.

On her way home, Evadne received a call from Jason.

“Miss Evadne, I’ve tried to dig into Thaddeus‘ past but didn’t find anything suspicious. However, when I looked into Mr. Chad’s personal affairs, I found something fishy.”

“Thaddeus is now the CEO of the Abernathy Group. His personal information is a top secret that only a few can access. Jason, you’re being smart by trying to help indirectly, Evadne praised with a smile.

Jason chuckled, pleased with the compliment, then said, “Mr. Chad was kidnapped when he was eleven.”

“Kidnapped?”

“Yes. But the news about the kidnapping is nowhere to be found online. It seems the Abernathy Group has made sure to keep this information under wraps. If you really want to know the truth, I can ask my father. He was a judge at the Elmsworth Court of Justice back then. He must have known something about the case.” “No need, Jason. You’ve done enough.”

Evadne hung up the phone and sank into deep thoughts. She knew that Jason was having a hard time with his family and didn’t want to trouble them further. But now that she had a lead, she knew what to do next.

As she pulled up her La Voiture Noire in front of her mansion, the car’s headlights illuminated a man standing tall and handsome.-

Her heart skipped a beat as she recognized him.

It was Thaddeus.

Thaddeus turned to face her, his eyes twinkling in the bright light. He straightened his back and gave her a warm smile.

She had to admit that Thaddeus had a beautiful smile.

It was the smile she had dreamed of, the one she had craved for.

For the past three years, she had tried everything to win his affection, from buying him gifts to learning how to cook his favorite dishes. All to see this smilė. But it was all in vain.

Now, he was willing to smile at her, even said he liked her.

But could his late affection fill her hollow heart?
