His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 782

Chapter 782

The moment the live stream flickered to life, the police had zeroed in on the kidnappers‘ hideout.

Squad cars encircled the crumbling villa, with sirens piercing the night sky; the blue and red lights of the cars expelled the shadows of fear.

Glynnis was still knocked out cold on the floor, but Edith, with the tenacity of a cockroach, had come to her senses earlier.

Hearing the wail of sirens, she panicked and attempted to flee, only to be confronted by several familiar silhouettes storming in with earth–shaking presence.

“Marilla!”

Jareth burst in first; in his eyes brimming with tears of blood, a glimmer of hope shined through the pain.

He’d always been fearless; even having known that Star Island was home to stone–cold mercenaries, he’d ventured there with Thaddeus.

But now, he was pale; his steps were unsteady, and he was almost stumbling.

The living room was a mess, with the bullies sprawled out across the floor, and Glynnis was still unconscious.

The space was small, but Marilla’s fragile figure was nowhere to be seen.

Thaddeus and Evadne dashed into the other rooms, calling out for Marilla, but to no avail!

That’s when Aaron, flanked by two colleagues, burst through the door:

“We’ve searched the villa top to bottom, including the basement. No sign of Marilla!”

“And Lily?!” Evadne was frantic, and her beautiful face was slick with sweat.

“We can’t reach her! But our tech team is on her phone’s trail!”

A sinking feeling hit Thaddeus, “Evadne, you said this was Gary’s doing, so could these scum be a smokescreen? Could Marilla and Lily have been moved by him?!”

Evadne was choked by terror, barely able to breathe.

Edith, seeing no way out and shaking like a leaf, tried to play the victim; she crawled to Jareth, sobbing and wailing:

“Big brother! You’ve come for me? I was brought here by Gary, and he tried to kill me. Ah!!”

Her plea cut short by a bone–chilling scream, but Jareth, with his eyes blazing with murderous intent, kicked her like a soccer ball, sending her flying!
