His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 823

Chapter 823

Jareth's piercing gaze suddenly narrowed, and for a moment his vision blurred,

"Dead?"

"Yes. It was gruesome. By the time they found her body, it was nearly unrecognizable."

Dean's brow furrowed tightly as he spoke in a hushed tone, "The autopsy showed she'd been assaulted, had severe STDs, her body was in a terrible state."

Jareth closed his bloodshot eyes, the hand holding the basin clenched tight, his veins standing out as he trembled slightly,

"By whom?"

"Many."

Dean's tongue clicked against his teeth, "Edith hadn't arrived long before she was sent to an underground club. It was basically a high-end brothel, where girls catered exclusively to the elite and powerful from overseas."

"It's said there's only one way out of that place: to be played with until death. Even

if Edith hadn't been killed, her fate would've been the same."

Jareth's pale eyelids drooped.

A mix of intense, bitter emotions tore through him, leaving him speechless.

He despised Edith, no question.

As he watched her board that smuggling ship, leaving her to fend for herself in a foreign land, his heart still burned with hatred.

But upon hearing of her tragic death, he couldn't muster any resentment. It felt as if a dark void had been carved out of his chest, decades of love and hate plunging into an endless abyss, never to be seen again.

"Mr. Fairhaven, forgive me for saying, but I think there's no need for you to grieve for Edith, even though she was your own sister."

Dean's eyes were icy with loathing, "If not for her, Marilla wouldn't be in this state, and if not for her, the master and the entire Fairhaven Group wouldn't be like this."

"An eye for an eye, and we've not shortchanged her."

"Tonight, you'll head over to the country and bring back Edith's ashes."

Jareth's expression darkened as he spoke, "Then, investigate what she went through there."

"Mr. Fairhaven!"

"Dean, I'm not seeking revenge for Edith. What's done is done. Now that she's dead, all hatred should be laid to rest."
