His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chatper 499

Chapter 499

The center was in total disarray, security personnel scrambled to maintain order amidst the chaos.

But today’s event was a hit, a real media circus. Every reporter swarmed Edgar like bees to honey, hemming him in on all sides, leaving him with nowhere to turn, completely immobilized!

That’s the media for you. Scandal was to them what blood was to a shark!

And this wasn’t just any scandal; it was a bombshell!

Jeff’s son–in–law, currently the hot favorite in the mayoral race, was behind closed doors, nothing more than a corrupt leech, fattening his own pockets and indulging in every vice imaginable.

Who wouldn’t kill for that exclusive scoop? They all seemed ready to devour Edgar down to the bone!

“Mayor, do you want me to call for backup? This is getting out of hand!” his secretary, a worried look on his face, hurried over to Mr. Bartley.

Mr. Bartley, standing in a quiet corner, left the spotlight to his rival, a smug smile on his face as if to say, ‘Why get our hands dirty when we can just watch the show?‘

“Let’s just sit back and enjoy the chaos, shall we? Why bother with all the fuss? But do make sure my wife and I are well protected. Wouldn’t want to get splattered if things get messier.”

To prevent further escalation, the Chambers family doubled down on security at the front and back doors of the venue.

Suddenly, three black sedans rolled up with authority and parked in front of the entrance.

The doors swung open, and out stepped prosecutors in sharp suits, badges gleaming on their chests.

Leading the pack was Arnold, his eyes shining with a serious intensity that was a far cry from his usual playful demeanor at home. His commanding presence was breathtaking.

The security guards at the door exchanged nervous glances as the prosecutors marched in with purpose.

“Excuse us, please step aside. Don’t interfere with our investigation,” Arnold said coolly, his voice detached and stern.

The security staff didn’t dare obstruct and made way for them.

As Arnold stepped into the lobby, he tapped the Bluetooth earpiece in his ear, “Evadne, I’m in.”

“Hmm? That was too easy. Surprising,” Evadne responded, a hint of surprise in her voice.

“Hey. You obviously don’t know who’s handling this for you. Trust me to handle the critical moments.“.

But Arnold’s bragging lasted all of three seconds before the Chambers family’s men swiftly moved to block their path, a veritable wall of muscle and suit!

“Whoa, looks like you just got served,” Evadne teased, her laughter tinkling in Arnold’s ear, “Seems it’s not going as smoothly as you thought.”

“You can see me?” Arnold’s voice was tense as he scanned the room.

“Of course. I can see you and what’s happening inside the venue.”

Elsewhere, Evadne leaned back, her gaze fixed on the screen showing Mr. Gardner being mobbed, and Jeff, looking pale and trapped.

“This is turning out to be quite the spectacle. I simply can’t look away,” she mused with a curve to her lips.

Arnold straightened his tie with resolve, “Just watch, Evadne. The most dramatic part of today’s drama will be painted by yours truly.”
