His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 1089

Elsie's voice trembled with urgency. "This man-Sir-is dangerous, Evadne. Even Avery says that after all these years working for him, he's only glimpsed a fraction of Sir's true strength. There might be even greater powers backing him from the shadows!
