His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 806

Chad?

Was it really Chad, the same man who years ago was left clinging to life after a shocking kidnapping incident, forcing him to relinquish all claims to his family's fortune as he sought medical treatment abroad?

He was back?

The Ashbourne brothers' eyes widened in disbelief.

The room, which had just settled into silence, was once again thrown into an uproar. The flashbulbs fiercely illuminated the calm and collected visage of Chad, drowning out his features in a sea of light.

"Oh, Mr. Chad, what a pleasure to meet you."

Emeric's eyes narrowed, but as someone who was no stranger to the limelight, he quickly regained his composure and shook hands with the man of the hour.

Chad's hand was cold as ice, his fingers soft and well-maintained—a stark contrast to the rough hands of Thaddeus, which made Emeric wonder if the man was moonlighting as a bricklayer on top of his CEO duties. Surely his daughter wasn't that hard to provide for.

"I understand you've been abroad for treatment. How have you been feeling lately?" Emeric asked, extending his concern, for Chad was after all Thaddeus' elder brother.

"I'm doing well, thank you for asking."

Chad rested his gentle gaze on Thaddeus, who looked somewhat uneasy, "Take care of Mr. Frederic for me, Thaddeus. I'll be inside."

"Of course, Chad," Thaddeus responded quietly, feeling an unexpected ripple in his usually imperturbable heart.
