His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 967

"So, it looks like Evadne took off because of that call."

Detective Aaron, with his mind racing, immediately frowned in thought. "But what's strange is, Evadne isn't the type to act so impulsively. Even if she had to leave the Mayor's Office under extraordinary circumstances, she'd at least consult with her sister for a plan.

So, she must've been cornered by whoever was on the other end of the line, offered something she couldn't refuse. That's the only reason she'd make such a desperate move!"

"How odd."

The more Cassius thought about it, the more bewildered and anxious he became. "Avery's gang is all in Helgen, and all the lethal dangers are here too. We were on a mission at the church, Debby was at the Mayor's Office, and Darcy safely returned from the event he attended.

Aside from the safety of her loved ones, what else could have lured Evadne into leaving the Mayor's Office and facing such great danger?"

"It's... Avery!"

Thaddeus turned pale, hardly needing a second thought. "With Harvey gone and Elsie rescued by Elvis, Avery's out of moves.

He had no choice but to target Evadne, to try and take her with him.

After all, Evadne is who he truly wants. If he's going to flee... abandon everything, he'd make sure to take Evadne with him!"

With that, he closed his eyes again, breathing deeply in an attempt to quell the pain and headache overwhelming him.

Their anxious gazes interlocked, all finding the theory frighteningly plausible.

Yet, everyone held their breath, hoping Thaddeus was wrong.

Just then, Darcy's aide burst into the room, sweating bullets:
