His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 657

“Something’s off?” Thaddeus frowned.

“It’s not surprising your brother could get his hands on medication. After all, he’s been entrenched in the country for years. Even getting the William and his son and the Abernathy Group to play ball is as simple as him snapping his fingers.”

Evadne’s pretty face darkened with worry, “But Snakey Avery, how did he get it?”

That question stopped Thaddeus cold.

“Avery’s the abandoned son of the Chambers family. He’s been out in the sticks, building up his network. How could he possibly have connections there?”

The more Evadne thought about it, the more unsettled she became, “You know, I’ve got this crazy theory in my head. I’m starting to think Avery might know your brother. Or at least, he’s met your brother.”

Thaddeus was about to blurt out “How could that be?” But he immediately remembered that woman named Alexia, the one who carried the same scent as Avery. Although it was a stretch to conclude they knew each other based on that alone, the suspicion hung in her mind like a stubborn ghost.

Suddenly, a frantic knock on the door broke the tense silence! They exchanged a glance and hurried to answer it.

Standing there was Emeric’s other executive assistant, not Dylan, but a trusted aide nonetheless.

“Ms. Ashbourne! There’s been an incident!” The secretary was frantic, his face slick with sweat.

Evadne’s heart skipped a beat, “Is it my father?!”

Thaddeus quickly wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close for silent reassurance.

“The chairman has taken ill! You must come to the conference room at once!”

“Emeric, what’s happened to you?!” Bevis, who was sitting close to Emeric, shouted, drawing all eyes in the room to Chairman Ashbourne’s shaking form.

Emeric clutched his trembling legs, his head buried low, ears ringing, his heartbeat unnaturally fast.

He dared not lift his head, knowing his facial muscles twitched uncontrollably, like the onset of Parkinson’s.

The board members exchanged worried glances, wanting to approach but hesitating.

“Let’s adjourn today’s meeting here,” Emeric stated with a deep voice, sweat beading on his forehead.

His tongue felt numb as he struggled with the last words.

“Emeric, what’s on earth the matter?” Bevis attempted to get closer; his face was a mask of concern, but his eyes flickered with a dark glee, “You look terrible. Why are you shaking so much? Are you sick? Should I call an ambulance?”

“I’m fine, no need!” Emeric’s eyes were red with strain as he pushed Bevis away with a stumbling motion.
