His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 495

“What exactly happened?” Thaddeus’s gaze sharpened as he exchanged a knowing look with Evadne.

“Just now, Jeff and Matthew took him out of the precinct, and that’s not all–they even brought a horde of reporters! Matthew shamelessly whitewashed Byron in front of the media, claiming he was innocent, that it was all a setup, a misunderstanding!” Gordon’s voice rose with anger, cracking with emotion.

“Darn it! How is that even possible?”

Evadne boited upright in bed, causing Thaddeus to blanch as he hurriedly pressed her back down, “Evadne! Easy now, watch the IV!”

“How can Byron that sleazebag possibly get out of lockup?”

Snatching the phone, Evadne shouted to Gordon in desperation, “Thaddeus and I had everything under control, and Emeric was in the loop–he cares about Nydia too. How could he let the Chambers clan pull strings? How could he not intervene?”

“Mrs. Abernathy, please, try to calm down.”

Gordon was equally frantic, “I’m still digging into the details, please wait for my update, you and Mr. Thaddeus!”

No sooner had they ended the call than Evadne, unable to contain herself, decided to reach out to Aaron.

But as if on cue, another call buzzed into Thaddeus‘ phone.

Evadne stared at the screen, her heart pounding furiously, lips quivering..

“Evadne, who is it?” Seeing her forlorn expression, Thaddeus asked with concern.

“It’s Cassius.”

Thaddeus too pursed his lips, then softly said, “Evadne, take the call. Don’t keep your brother worried.”

Remembering her brothers‘ overbearing control, Evadne felt uncomfortable, and her tone was sharp as she answered the call.

“If you’re calling to take me back, please don’t bother. If it’s something else, make it quick.”

On the other end, Cassius’s expression stiffened for a moment, a stabbing pain hitting his heart.

She used to be so sweet and affectionate, even over the phone, always addressing him with a tender voice as Cassius.

But now.

Their relationship had become strained, the more he tried to protect her, the further she seemed to slip away.

“Evadne, Elvis has filled us in on your situation.”

Cassius’s voice was as gentle as ever, “If being with him brings you peace and happiness, then I won’t stand in your way anymore.” “Cassius.” Evadne gasped, breath catching.

“Evadne, you’re right to reprimand me. I was just angry with myself for not protecting you, and in trying to ease my conscience, I tried to shelter you, even at the cost of your right to love.”

I’ve been doing some soul–searching, asking myself what I truly want. All I want is for you to find real happiness. Happiness that isn’t imposed on you by others, nor measured by them. Isn’t true affection about
