His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 829

The Abernathys hastily bid farewell to Hamilton, with Jason at the wheel, racing towards the police station!

"Thaddeus, have you been causing trouble again?"

With razor-sharp intuition, Evadne homed in on the crux of the matter, her furious gaze drilling into the man's sullen face, "Do I not know the kind of man Gordon is? You tell him to go east, he wouldn't dare head west. You tell him to chase off a stray dog, he wouldn't dare scold a chicken. How could he possibly touch that stuff! Did you send him to buy it?"

Thaddeus gripped her slender fingers tightly, his eyes burning into hers, his chest feeling ablaze,

"Evadne, I did instruct him to buy it, but I never imagined he'd go himself."

"Idiot!"

Jason, behind the wheel, was both anxious and furious, smacking the steering wheel hard, "Even those celebs in showbiz who want to get high send their agents, keeping several layers of distance, just to avoid ruining their careers with one false move. Gordon must be some kind of hero, personally going to buy, and right under the nose of the law! Does he think the Elmsworth PD is on a lunch break? They've been cracking down on vice recently, didn't he know?"

Evadne's palms were slick with sweat, her heart pounding heavily with unease, "And that's not even the worst part. In Elmsworth, who doesn't know Gordon is your right-hand man? If word of this gets out, regardless of whether Gordon takes all the blame, the world will assume you manipulated your secretary into buying drugs, or even suspect you're a secret addict!"

Thaddeus' brows were furrowed so deeply they carved canyons in his forehead, his eyes rimmed with red.

He wasn't afraid of verbal sparring or underhanded plots; his only fear was that Gordon would do exactly as Evadne said, taking the fall for everything.

"If this blows up, Snakey Avery will probably be laughing himself awake in his dreams! Without lifting a finger, he'd win by his opponent's foolish mistakes!"

Evadne, distressed to her core, dared not think deeper, "Thaddeus, if you needed that stuff, you could've told me. I could've asked Aviana; after all, she's backed by the S-Star Group. Or you could've spoken to Jareth; he's got connections everywhere! But you shouldn't have kept this from me, and you certainly shouldn't have dragged Gordon into this mess. One wrong move, and you could take a serious fall!"

"I didn't think this through,"

Thaddeus' hand, despite holding onto Evadne, felt cold, "Hit me, yell at me, take it out on me later. But right now, we have to get Gordon out of there."

"Like I need you to tell me that!"

Evadne shot him a scathing look, struggling to pull her hand from his clammy grasp, but it was stuck fast.
