His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 970

"Thaddeus!"

Rushing to his side, Cassius and Aaron were taken aback to find him on one knee, his palm rough and slick with sweat, clutching a ruby-red rose brooch that Evadne often wore, a piece she had crafted herself.

The thought alone was unbearable, like a sentence of the worst kind!

"Bro, Thaddeus, I did a quick recon. I think what the nurse said holds water."

Aaron crouched beside Thaddeus, trying to keep a lid on his own panic as he tried to offer some comfort, "There's no sign of a struggle here, no chaotic footprints. And a nurse mentioned seeing Evadne boarding a helicopter with some medics. It's clear, she went willingly to escort Mrs. Chambers. No one forced her."

"That's exactly what's fishy."

Thaddeus's gaze darkened, his grip on the brooch so tight it dug into his palm, staining the rose even redder, "Here, everyone's been played by Avery, including his own mother. They were all just pawns in his scheme to lure Evadne onto that chopper!"

"Thaddeus is right!"

Cassius agreed wholeheartedly, "The only way to get Evadne to leave by her own will was to exploit her kindness.

Mrs. Chambers was merely bait. Avery's real plan was to use that helicopter to abduct Evadne!"

"God! If that's true, then Evadne could be... beyond Helgen's borders by now? It's been hours!" Aaron was visibly distressed, his anxiety peaking.
