His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 783

In the grip of a life–or–death phone call, Gary laid down two conditions-

No guns. Come alone.

“Thaddeus, Evadne, Captain Ashbourne, I leave this in your hands. I’m off to meet Gary.”

With those final words, Jareth didn’t hesitate for a second. He turned on his heel and strode towards the

door.

“Jareth!” Thaddeus‘ voice was torn with anguish as he grabbed hold of him. “It’s a trap set by Gary. He might be after your life. You can’t go alone!”

“He wants my life, Thad.” Jareth managed a feeble, heart–wrenching smile. “If my life can ensure Marilla and Lily come back alive, then it’s worth the gamble.”

Evadne, with her eyes brimming with tears, declared resolutely, “Jareth, we’re coming with you! We’ll set up an ambush and strike when the time is right. We’ll definitely rescue Marilla and Lily!”

Shaking his head, Jareth replied, “Thank you, Evadne. But I can’t take that risk again. If it means Marilla and Lily can return alive, then truly, it’s a worthy trade.”

Evadne could barely hold back her tears, and Thaddeus felt his heart sink layer by layer.

“Jareth.”

Aaron, with a look as sharp as a falcon, stepped forward and opened his palm to reveal a tiny bug, “Wear this. Keep in touch with the police. I’ll coordinate things from here.”

With his pale lips trembling. Jareth took the device, “Thank you.”

“You, Marilla and Lily must come back alive. That’s an order.”

Drawing a deep breath, Aaron managed a comforting smile that was almost like a warm moonlight embrace, “You’re not just fighting for Evadne and Thaddeus. We’re right here waiting for you.”

Jareth paused, then he flashed a brief smile and clapped Aaron on the shoulder with force.

In the early morning, the sky was starless, and the weak and hazy moonlight added to a sense of desolation.

The screech of tires tearing against the pavement echoed as Jareth’s sports car slid to a halt in the middle of the compound.

Before him stood a half-constructed commercial complex, one of the Fairhaven Group’s properties.
