His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 867

The wind howled across the rooftop, transforming in an instant into invisible blades, darting and weaving between them like scenes from an action-packed movie!

"Of course," Wayne's voice was low, sparing with his words.

Years in public service had taught him the art of saying just enough - too much talk led to mistakes. Especially since he was well aware that the woman before him was no ordinary person; she possessed a bravery and wit not inferior to any man's!

After all, she was the woman Mr. Chambers loved deeply.

"In that case, Director-General Wayne and I share the same goals. We shouldn't be adversaries but rather comrades-in-arms," Evadne's eyes curved into a smile, light and unwearied.

"Ms. Ashbourne, I don't see any reason for us to stand together in battle."

A cold ripple flickered in Wayne's eyes, "You're a high-flying tycoon, and I'm a servant of the people. Our paths should not cross. But regardless, I'm grateful to you for saving my wife. I'll repay this debt some day. If not in this life, then in the next."

Evadne's brows knitted tightly.

"I need to get back to my wife. Excuse me," Wayne's expression was impassive as he turned to leave, but at that moment, Evadne's voice cut through the cold air.

Wayne paused but didn't turn around.

"I know the person backing you is Avery," Evadne's eyes shone with a chilling light, her hair whipping about in the wind.

The man's pupils contracted sharply, "Ms. Ashbourne, I have no idea what you're talking about."

"I'm not threatening you. Your right and wrong will be judged by the people, by the law, not me."

Evadne didn't fear revealing her hand; instead, she got straight to the point, "I'm here to tell you, allying with Avery is digging your own grave, playing with fire. Even if you're willing to risk your own life, what about Mrs. Jones?
