His Ex wife is a billionaire Chapter 547

    <b>Chapter </b><b>547 </b>


    Thaddeus’s <b>heart sank </b>as he <b>quickly turned </b><b>to </b>Evadne<b>. </b>“<b>Evadne</b><b>, </b><b>I’ll </b>handle <b>this</b>.”


    After <b>all</b>, <b>the </b><b>rumors </b>swirling <b>about </b><b>her </b>were like <b>a </b>relentless tide, and the denigration showed no signs <b>of </b>abating. And here they were <b>in </b>a hospital<b>, </b><b>a </b>sensitive <b>ce </b>where a confrontation <b>with </b>the <b>rtives </b>of a witness <b>could </b>do her harm.


    <b>He </b>could <b>deal </b><b>with </b><b>this</b>, <b>shoulder </b><b>the </b><b>burden</b><b>. </b>


    But he <b>didn’t </b>want <b>his </b>woman <b>to </b><b>face </b>such <b>ugliness</b><b>. </b><b>It </b>would <b>hurt </b><b>him </b>too much <b>to </b><b>see </b><b>her in </b><b>pain</b>.


    “Thad, i get it<b>,” </b>Evadne <b>said</b>, <b>capturing </b>his hand in hers <b>and </b><b>offering </bfort with <b>her </b>calm demeanor. “But they want <b>to </b><b>see </b>me, and if <b>I </b>hadn’t <b>insisted </b>on meeting <b>with </b>Beverly, we wouldn’t be in this <b>mess</b>. <b>So </b>I need <b>to </b>step up, <b>apologize</b><b>, </b>and show <b>sincerity</b>. You know <b>me</b>, the word ‘<b>retreat</b>‘ <b>isn’t in my </b>vocabry.”


    <b>“</b>Coincidentally<b>, </b><b>it’s </b><b>not </b>in <b>mine </b><b>either</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>


    <b>His </b>gaze <b>was </b>deep <b>and </b><b>affectionate </b><b>as </b>he <b>sped </b>her <b>hand </b>tightly. <b>“</b>So, I’m going with <b>you</b><b>.</b>”


    Although Beverly was tucked <b>away </b>in <b>a </b><b>private </b>room <b>with </b>a high degree <b>of </b>security,


    Jason still feared the rtives might cause a <b>scene </b>in the hospital, damaging thedy’s reputation<b>, </b>so he had <b>them </b>brought over posthaste<b>. </b>


    <b>Side </b><b>by </b>side<b>, </b>Evadne and Thaddeus stood in the corridor.


    Beverly’s mother <b>and </b>the parents of another victim approached swiftly, and while Evadne kept herposure, her heart was in turmoil.


    3 0 0 0 = F FO


    The trio halted before them.


    Thaddeus’s eyes were a cold and alert, Jason too kept a vignt watch, ready to intervene should theysh out at thedy.


    Beverly’s mother, with cheeks stained by tears and eyes red with the ferocity of a lioness deprived of sleep, hadn’t spoken yet, but her face was a canvas of me and anger directed at Evadne!


    Evadne’s fingers tingled as she geared up to speak-


    “Sir, Madam! Please, you must save my daughter! I beg of you!”


    With a thud, the other girl’s parents knelt before them!


    “Please, please stand up! There’s no need for this!” Evadne and Thaddeus rushed to help them, but the parents were inconsble, their bodies heavy with grief. If not for Jason’s timely aid, Evadne feared she couldn’t have supported the heartbroken mother.


    “Please promise you’ll save my child, I won’t get up unless you agree!” The mother wailed, her sorrow piercing the hearts of all


    present.


    Evadne felt a sharp pain in her chest, her eyes moistening, “Please, stop crying, you’ll harm yourself. Stand up, and we can talk it


    out.”


    “Now youe crying to Mrs. Abernathy here, what’s that about?” Gordon, irate, confronted them with scorn. “Before this, I’ve been reaching out on behalf of Mrs. Abernathy and Mr. Abernathy, and how did you treat us? Have you forgotten?


    Mrs. Abernathy was ready to throw you a lifeline, but you refused it, didn’t you?”


    “Gordon! That’s enough!” Thad’s voice was a stern rebuke.


    “A lifeline? You call that a lifeline?”


    Mrs. Higgins, pushed to her limit, pointed at Evadne, her voice raw with fury, “If it weren’t for you! Who would have harmed my daughter like this? You only wanted her to testify for you, to take down the thorn in your side! Did you ever consider the lives of ordinary folks like us? My daughter is only seventeen, she’s been through enough horror, she just wants to live a normal life, why can’t you give her that chance?”


    Gordon was fuming, but he held back, recognizing the gravity of being in Ms. Higgins‘ mother’s presence.


    “The Chambers Group has been watching you, keeping tabs on your every move. Do you want your daughter to live under such surveince for the rest of her life?” Thaddeus’s brows were furrowed, baffled by their inability to discern right from wrong.


    “I know. I’ve always known! But what can I do?” Mrs. Higgins trembled, nearly hysterical, “I’d rather have this than let my daughter <b>suffer </b>any harm, be in danger!Her life was getting back on track, everything was improving and you, you’ve thrown it all into chaos again! Almost costing my daughter her life! You only care for your ownfort and meddle in other people’s lives! By what right?<b>” </b>

    Chapter <b>547 </b>


    Evadne felt a sting in her heart<b>. </b>


    Her mind raced <b>with </b>sharp retorts, but <b>overwhelming </b>guilt <b>and </b>injustice <b>clogged </b>her <b>throat</b><b>, </b><b>leaving </b><b>her </b>speechless.


    “You’re being naive<b>.” </b>


    Thaddeus’s <b>sculpted </b>hand steadied Evadne’s <b>trembling </b>waist<b>, </b>his expression calm <b>and </bposed as if he were a <b>deity </b>observing <b>mortal </b><b>strife</b><b>, </b><b>“</b>The <b>peace </b><b>you’re </b><b>experiencing </b>now is because the <b>Chambers </b>Group <b>is </b>in <b>disarray</b><b>, </b><b>with </b>Byron detained <b>at </b>the station<b>. </b>They’re <b>too </b>preupied <b>with </b><b>their </b><b>own </b><b>troubles </b>to focus <b>on </b><b>you</b><b>.” </b>


    Mrs. Higgins froze<b>, </b>her bloodshot <b>eyes </b><b>filled </b><b>with </b><b>confusion</b>.


    <b>“</b><b>Once </b><b>Byron’s </b>troubles are <b>settled</b><b>, </b><b>and </b><b>he’s </b><b>free </b><b>to </b>do as he pleases again. Do you think, <b>with </b><b>his </b>vindictive <b>nature, </b><b>he’ll </b>just leave your <b>daughter </b><b>alone</b><b>? </b><b>If </b><b>the </b><b>root </b><b>of </b>the problem isn’t removed, <b>that’s </b>when Ms. Higgins will <b>truly </b>never <b>have </b><b>a </b><b>moment’s </b>peace<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    “Mr. Abernathy is right! Mrs. Higgins, please don’t be misguided <b>any </b>longer<b>!</b><b>” </b>


    <b>The </b>young girl’s <b>father </b>stood before Evadne <b>and </b><b>Thaddeus</b><b>, </b><b>a </b><b>firm </b>man by <b>any </b>ount<b>, </b>but <b>his </b><b>eyes </b>brimmed <b>with </b>tears. His gaze was <b>fraught </b>with <b>a </b>helpless desperation. “Mr. Abernathy, Mrs. Abernathy! It’s not that we <b>didn’t </b>want to seek <b>your </b>help<b>, </b><b>but </b>the folks <b>from </b><b>the </b><b>Chambers </b><b>Group </b><b>have </b><b>been </b><b>breathing </b>down our n*ecks! They came around<b>, </b>threatening us<b>, </b><b>saying </b>if we spoke out <b>of </b><b>turn</b><b>, </b><b>they </b><b>had </b>ways to make us disappear from Elmsworth without <b>a </b>trace. How were we supposed <b>to </b><b>stand </b>up to <b>such </b><b>power</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>


    “We <b>couldn’t </b>be sure <b>you’d </b>be able to help, <b>so </b>we’ve been living <b>in </b>fear, not daring <b>to </b>reach out <b>to </b><b>you</b><b>.” </b>


    His wife<b>, </b>ovee with despair<b>, </b>covered her face with her hands. “But these days, my daughter’s on the edge of a breakdown. The day before yesterday, she locked herself in her room and cut her wrists<b>.</b>”


    A righteous fury and heartache surged through Evadne, nearly shattering her insides, as if her blood was boiling within her veins.


    “What<b>?</b><b>” </b>Mrs. Higgins gasped in shock.


    “My daughter’s only sixteen, younger and not as strong as yours.”


    The mother sobbed as if her soul was tearing apart, “That beast Byron should go to hell! Why must my daughter suffer this fate? What did she do to deserve this<b>?</b><b>” </b>


    The father spoke bitterly, “We’ve been biting our tongues in silence, but my daughter’s health and peace of mind are destroyed! That monster has ruined everything! So what’s the point of our silence? Our daughter is alive, yet utterly broken by him!”


    “How is your daughter now? Is she out of danger for her life?”


    Evadne’s eyes were red with concern, more worried about the girl’s condition, “If she’s still hospitalized, I can arrange for her to be transferred to a hospital under the K Group’s umbre. We’ll cover all the medical expenses.”


    “Ms. Evadne.” The parents were too moved to speak.


    “And once your daughter’s recovered, I’ll bring in a top psychologist from across the country to help her through this. I believe she’ll be strong again and will walk out from the shadows.”


    “Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Evadne! You are our savior!”


    Mrs. Higgins was stunned.


    She had thought that the proud heiress, humiliated by the poor and turned away by the downtrodden, would seize this opportunity to trample their dignity and reim her lost honor.


    But here was Ms. Evadne, not holding grudges and offering her wholehearted support.


    Was she wrong in her judgment of character?


    “Mrs. Higgins.<b>” </b>


    Evadne approached her, gently taking her rough hand and squeezing it firmly, “I may not be a mother myself, but I can fully understand your feelings because my hatred for Byron is just as deep as yours. Don’t forget, my own sister is a victim too. <b>If </b>I have <b>a </b>selfish desire, it’s to unite all victims and seek justice from the Chambers Group! Will you help me with this?<b>” </b>
