His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 458

Avery’s spirit, weary and dejected, perked up at the words, “I’m all ears.”

“Check your phone, there’s a surprise waiting for you.”

He quickly glanced at the screen and indeed, there was a new email notification.

Elsie watched the man’s rigid back with unwavering attention, her curiosity about the person on the other end of the line – who could make the proud and untamed Avery turn pale – only grew.

Avery’s lips tightened as he opened the email, revealing a hospital’s diagnostic report. His brows furrowed as he skimmed through the document. Suddenly, his pupils contracted with shock that clenched his heart tight, almost causing the phone to slip from his grasp.

“What’s wrong? Got scared?” The man on the phone teased.

“Is this for real? No, it can’t be.”

Avery’s eyes repeatedly scanned the diagnosis, his body trembling uncontrollably as if drained of all blood, his mind plunging into an icy abyss, “Evadne, how could she possibly have been pregnant with Thaddeus’s kid? How could they have ever had a kid together?!”

“What’s the big deal if she was pregnant? Does that mean you don’t love her anymore?”

The man scoffed, his tone cold and dismissive, “You should count your blessings that the kid was stillborn. You won’t have to play step–dad to Thaddeus’s kid. That’s a tough role to fill, you know.”

Avery was deeply hurt, his eyes bloodshot with suppressed tears, unable to extricate himself from the pain.

“They had a kid together, a fact Thaddeus is still unaware of. Ms. Ashbourne never told him.”

The man continued to laugh, “Not just Thaddeus, even Chairman Ashbourne and Evadne’s brothers – who dote on her – know nothing of it. Imagine if the men of the Ashbourne family found out that Ms. Ashbourne had miscarried Thaddeus’s kid and lost her chance to be a mom. Do you think they would still support a reunion between Ms. Ashbourne and Thaddeus? Not a chance.” Avery clenched his phone, his anguish spreading through every limb, his complexion pallid as if on the brink of death.

He was right. The greatest pain in Evadne’s life was the loss of her kid. And this pain was the perfect weapon to permanently sever Evadne from Thaddeus!

Anything to keep them apart, he would stop at nothing!

“Thank you for your help. If I can win Evadne, I will be forever in your debt,” Avery’s eyes flickered with a ruthless gleam. “You’ve managed the Helgen businesses well over the years, which has been a great help to me. This is just a small favor; don’t mention it.” The man replied casually, and then reminded, “Oh, and you mustn’t spread this news yourself – it would raise suspicions and backfire.”
