His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chatper 500

Chapter 500

Edgar felt his world crumbling as the prosecutors approached him. His legs turned to jelly, and in full view of everyone, he collapsed to the ground!

All over social media, headlines blared the same news – Edgar was under arrest.

Quick to react, reporters swarmed Jeff.

“Mr. Chambers! What’s your take on your son–in–law’s arrest?”

“Were you aware of Mr. Gardner’s shady dealings?”

“Has Mr. Gardner been scratching your back during his tenure? Has he been funneling benefits to the Chambers Group under the table?”

Jeff felt his blood boil, his face ashen.

He’d thought Matthew would handle everything, but people from the DA’s office had still broken through, led by none other than Emeric’s second son, Arnold!

Both prominent moguls, yet here was Emeric’s boy, arresting his son–in–law, making a mockery of him!

If only he’d known, he would have slipped away in the confusion. What a blunder!

“Dad! Let’s get out of here!” Matthew rushed over, helping his father towards the exit.

The reporters were relentless, trailing them closely as Jeff struggled forward. In the chaos, Jeff’s shoe was trampled off!

“Oh, my shoe!” Jeff awkwardly lifted his bare foot.

“Dad! Who cares about your shoe at a time like this? We need to move!” Matthew, sweating profusely, dragged his father onward.

So Jeff hobbled away with one shoe, fleeing the scene in a sorry state.

“Look! Why’s there a shoe here?”

“Is that Jeff’s shoe? Was he so panicked that he lost it? So funny!”

The reporters snapped pictures of the shoe and erupted into laughter.
