His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 722

“My teddy bear, my little teddy bear.”

In the suffocating darkness, Marilla clung to the icy wall, her body trembling as she hugged her knees to her chest.

That man had taken her teddy bear, and it felt as if he had shattered her soul, and ripped the spine from her body. Her mind was blank, cold sweat cascading down her pale, pretty cheeks like rain.

*Jareth, where are you, please come save me.”

Suddenly, every light in the room blazed on. Beams of harsh fluorescent light assaulted Marilla’s pallid face, the interrogation–like brightness pushing her already fragile psyche to the brink.

“Jareth, I’m so scared. Jareth,” tears streamed endlessly from Marilla’s tightly shut eyes..

She couldn’t remember anything; even the loving, tender moments she had shared with Jareth seemed to twist and fade into the distance.

The massive screen on the wall, like a dark curtain, flickered to life.

Marilla forced her swollen eyes open, the tears turning her vision red as they flooded her sockets.

And when she saw the woman on the screen, bound, beaten, and blindfolded, unmistakably Lily.

A thunderous crash, her mental fortress crumbled completely.

In the boardroom of the Fairhaven Group, the directors‘ meeting commenced as scheduled.

Chairman Barry sat at the center of the table, a king among his loyal subjects. He had built this empire through ordeal from the ground up, and now, his presence in the Fairhaven Group was nothing short of imperial.

Although Barry was gradually handing over the reins to Jareth, there were a few old–timers who resisted the young heir, pledging allegiance only to the patriarch.

It wasn’t just about respect – they feared that with Jareth’s ascent, their own power and profit would diminish, which would prevent them from seeking benefit.
