His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 393

When Elspeth and Glynnis heard that there had been a shooting and that Evadne and her secretary Jason had been injured, and that Ward was now a wanted man, they were beyond terrified, their hearts burning with fear and worry.

“Mom, mom, what do we do now?”

With a crisp slap, Elspeth, her eyes bloodshot, struck Glynnis across her flushed face in her fury, sending her tumbling back onto a coffee table. She was in so much pain that she barely could stand up.

Despite her usually delicate and gentle demeanor, she had hit her own daughter with the force of a fury, showing a strength they hardly knew she possessed.

Glynnis‘ cheek swelled as if she’d stuffed a mini bagel inside her mouth. Through her tears and messy hair, she glared at Elspeth with a look of deep resentment.

“You incompetent fool! Who asked you to interfere? I wanted you to take care of the maid, not touch Evadne!”

Elspeth was seething but dared not raise her voice, her harsh words twisted with anger, “Do you even know who Evadne is? Emeric’s precious gem! Hamilton’s apple of his eyes! Thaddeus‘ dream girl! You targeted her at such a critical time. If you want to die, fine, but don’t drag me down with you!”

“I did all this because you’re my mom, do you not understand?!”

Glynnis managed to stand up, her voice shaky with sobs, “You said it yourself, this was a golden chance! Evadne meeting Erica in secret. Surely they wouldn’t have any bodyguards. Ward is a mercenary, killing her would be as easy as squashing an ant! If we succeeded, you wouldn’t be manipulated by her anymore!”

“But did you succeed? Now even Ward is on the most wanted list!”

Elspeth was fuming; she wished she could strangle her impossibly stupid daughter.

Unable to control her rage, she trembled, quickly wrapping herself in a blanket like a burrito.

Tomorrow she would have to visit Victor for an injection. Without any medication, her emotions were unstable, and she couldn’t even sleep.

“First it was Alex, now Ward, all because of you! I’ve lost two key players!”

“How am I to blame for Alex! You didn’t like Myra and wanted to mess with him. What does that have to do with me!” Glynnis was a sharp one; she would admit to her mistakes, but wouldn’t take the fall for others.

What relieved Elspeth was that as Glynnis‘ biological father, Alex didn’t rat her out.

But what about Ward? He was in the national list as wanted by the police, and Thaddeus also had pulled all strings to capture him.

Would he give her out under such pressure?

At that moment, her phone rung, startling them both.

With trembling hands, Elspeth picked up the phone. It was a private number.

It took her a while to answer, “Hello?”

“P

“Ward, is that you?”

“Mrs. Abernathy, it’s me.” Mr. Ward’s voice was unusually low, and the signal was poor.

“Where are you?!”

“I’m safe for the time being. Mrs. Abernathy, I need some money for travel expenses. Please arrange it within three days.”

Elspeth turned her back to Glynnis and asked in a low voice, “How much do you need?”

“20 million, and I need a boat. I plan to smuggle myself into another country.”

“20 million?!”

Elspeth gasped, her eyes wide with shock, “Where on earth am I supposed to get that kind of money! Besides, if not for your reckless actions, we wouldn’t be in this mess! You have the audacity to ask me for 20 million?!”

“Mrs. Abernathy, over the years I’ve handled countless problems for you. You’re well aware of that.”
