His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 535

As the evening lights flickered to life, the mood in Elmsworth was far from serene.

Evadne and Thaddeus had hastily convened with Jason, and together they raced back to their hometown Jason, in a state of near panic, had been calling Nydia incessantly, only to be met with her voicemail and finally, the stark silence of a powered–down phone

“Nydia, why aren’t you answering my calls. Nydial Jason muttered to himself, his voice tinged with desperation

“Jason, try to stay calm, Thaddeus said, catching his friend’s bloodshot eyes in the rearview mirror. His voice was a soothing balm. Tve sent Gordon and a team to Nydia’s school. We’re just half an hour from Elmsworth. We’ll head straight to Elmsworth Film Academy”

“Evadne, don’t blame yourself, Thaddeus comforted, pulling her into his embrace. “Nydia’s not the type to hold a grudge. She knows how much you care about her”

“But Thaddeus. I’m still so scared”

“Don’t be, I’m here for you. We’ll find her together, Thaddeus reassured her, but his own emotions were a whirlwind of concern for Nydia and a strange sense of pleasure from Evadne’s dependence on him.

Even though he knew that the indomitable daughter of the Ashbourne family was far more powerful than men, he still expected her to rely on him occasionally.

He was willing to be the man behind Evadne silently.

He didn’t care about how others laughed at him. He only hoped that he could be used by her and reflect his value as a man to the greatest extent.

Upon reaching the Elmsworth Film Academy, they parked discreetly at the back. Gordon, drenched in sweat, approached them with dire news. Mr. Abernathy, Mrs. Abernathy! We’ve turned the school upside down and even had the dorm supervisor check Nydia’s room. There’s no sign of her!”

Their hearts sank.
