His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 1022

After leaving the detention center, Alexia wasted no time driving back to her villa. She indulged in a long, hot bath, hoping to wash away the bad vibes clinging to her like a stubborn shadow.

Once her hair was dry, she slipped into a red silk robe. As she opened the bedroom door, she nearly jumped out of her skin.

"Ms. Alexia."

Hans stood rigidly in the doorway, his face a mask of indifference. "Come downstairs. Sir is waiting for you."

Alexia bit her lip. "Alright, let me just freshen up and change into something more appropriate."

"No need. To Sir, it doesn't matter what you wear. Or if you wear anything at all," Hans tossed over his shoulder as he turned to leave. "Hurry. Sir doesn't like to be kept waiting."

Swallowing her irritation, Alexia followed him obediently.

Downstairs, Chad was lounging on the sofa, his long fingers gracefully handling a clay teapot. He poured the first brew over a small Buddha statuette, watching the liquid trickle down its serene face.

"Sir, what brings you here? I was planning on freshening up before reporting to you,” Alexia said, her voice soft as she approached him. She gazed intently at his timeless, sophisticated features. "I know how you value cleanliness. I didn't want to see you before I'd cleansed myself of that filthy place."

Chad offered a faint smile. "I was in the neighborhood and thought I'd drop by."

"It's done. Avery will suffer a heart attack within 48 hours. His health was poor to begin with, so even an autopsy won't raise suspicions," Alexia murmured, a shadow passing over her eyes.
