His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 435

Evadne’s downcast lashes cast twin shadows across her cheeks.

In the past, she might have believed that Avery genuinely cared for her father, Now, she only sensed ill intentions.

After all, if he was capable of causing harm to her sister and brother–in–law, her father would mean nothing to him.

Avery was always ruthless.

However, his desire for her held him back, at least until he could have her until his lust was satisfied. He wouldn’t dare to harm her.

“My father’s fine. He’s fit as a fiddle at home”

A slight chilling smile played at the corners of Evadne’s lips. “He’s always running his mouth, and his stomach can’t handle it. Probably ate something he shouldn’t have and upset his stomach. It’s nothing serious. You can go home”

“Really? Because Mr. Ashbourne locked pretty awful, and he hid a severe headache. It seemed serious. Could it be a stroke or something?

“Mr. Avery, are you cursing my father?”

Evadne cut him off sharply, her eyes flashing with anger. “Or are you trying to sniff out some information about the Ashbourne family?”

“Evadne, I’m not. You misunderstand

Seeing her anger, Avery’s eyes were red–rimmed with anxiety. He stepped forward and grabbed her slender arm. I’m just worried about Mr. Ashbourne. I just wanted to see you!”

Evadne recalled as if stung by a scorpion, jerked her arm away and stepped back, creating a distance between them.

“But I don’t want to see you!

“Evadne, what’s wrong with you?!

Avery’s pale lips trembled, his anxiety gnawing at him. He wanted to approach her again, but her wary gaze held him at bay. “What happened? Can you tell me? Please tell me, don’t treat me like this”

Evadne thought, “So innocent. Avery, your eyes are so clear and innocent, it’s almost believable”

“Do you want to know? Fine, I’ll ask you

Evadne took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, each word dripping with frost. “You know Eden, don’t you? He’s your man, isn’t he?”

Eden? Who’s that?” Avery looked blankly at her angry face.

But the tension under his well–tailored suit was palpable.

the military and

He thought he had hidden everything well. Even if Evadne was astute and connected him to his dealings in Helgen and his close ties with the officials in Country T, she wouldn’t have been able to find any concrete evidence.

Without catching Eden himself, she had no proof that it was his doing.

But he never expected her to confront him so directly. Did she have no trust in him at all?

“You’ve done a lot of business in Helgen, with a wide range of connections, and you have close ties with many high–ranking officials and the military in Country T. Eden is a lieutenant colonel in the army of Country T, and he made his start in Helgen. Are you telling me you don’t know him?” Evadne crossed her arms and eyed him, full of suspicion.

Her mocking laugh was beautiful enough to steal his heart and soul.

“Evadne, while I do have some connections in Helgen, you’re demonizing me. I’m not as powerful as you think.”
