His Ex wife is a billionaire Chapter 664

    <b>Chapter </b><b>664 </b>


    <b>“</b>I’ve already looked into the video of Emeric that was leaked online.” Elvis’s voice came through, icy and filled with a deadly intent. Thaddeus arched an eyebrow, his l*ps pursed in reluctance.


    He had intended to handle the situation quietly, away from Evadne’s prying eyes, smoothing things over for Chairman Emeric<b>. </b><b>Yet</b>, here was Elvis, his old college rival, beating him to it once again.


    Back in their school days, they’d been at loggerheads,peting for top honors and engaging in daily intellectual duels that rivaled the shes of the greatest Greek gods. Now, he was stillpeting, denying him a chance to shine.


    If it weren’t for the fact that they were both men, it could have been mistaken for a love–hate rtionship straight out of an old


    romance.


    A frost seemed to creep into Thaddeus‘ gaze. “It’s Bevis<b>, </b>isn’t it?”


    “Impressive. The detective work is basically done by guessing,” Elvis taunted.


    “The angle of the footage was clearly from the boardroom’s security camera. After I settled Emeric, I immediately had Dn delete the surveince footage. Obviously, someone got to it first and copied the video.”


    Thaddeus‘ tone was so cold it could’ve frozen the air. “Evadne told me she had every board member sign a non–disclosure agreement after the incident, except for Bevis. She did it deliberately, to let him think he had the upper hand and walk into our trap. But I never expected him to leak the video. He’s really not ying the game anymore.”


    “Heh, I think he’s not ying for his life anymore.”


    Elvis clenched his fist so tightly his knuckles cracked audibly, even Thaddeus could hear it clearly. “I found the clues by cracking the IP address of the leaked video.”


    “It looks like it’s time to put family loyalty aside and show that scoundrel what happens when he messes with Emeric.”


    Thaddeus‘ brows knitted together. “Not yet.”


    “Thaddeus, you dare to challenge me? I’m Elvis!” His voice rose an octave in displeasure.


    “Your father is gravely ill, Elvis, and his condition is far worse than you imagine.”


    Silence fell on the other end.


    “The leaked video, along with what happened to Cassius and Dr. Bright, has already struck a heavy blow to him. If you go after Bevis <b>now</b><b>, </b>I fear Emeric won’t be able to withstand it. I’ve seen that Emeric ces great value on family ties. Even though he’s seen through Bevis‘ actions, he’s reluctant to punish him too harshly, always remembering their brotherly bond from their youth.”


    Thaddeus patiently exined, “I know you’re out for revenge, and so am I. But right now, nothing is more important than Emeric’s


    <b>health</b>,”


    “Cut <b>to </b>the chase<b>!</b>” Elvis snapped.


    <b>“</b>Leave Bevis to me and Evadne. Don’t act yourself.<b>” </b>


    Thaddeus‘ eyes shed with a hint of ruthlessness. “We know what he cherishes most. To make him lose what <b>he </b>holds <b>dear </b>is the ultimate revenge<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    “Haha, <b>Thad</b><b>, </b>you’re sly<b>!</b><b>” </b>


    <b>With </b><b>an </b>annoyed look, Thaddeus replied, “You could use a different word, like ‘wise‘ or ‘<b>sagacious</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>


    “It’s the same thing<b>, </b>as long as <b>you </b>get my point<b>.” </b>


    Elvis’s tone <b>deepened</b><b>, </bced <b>with </b>sinister intent. “I <b>can </b>leave <b>Bevis </b><b>to </b>you, but <b>the </b>one who <b>framed </b><b>my </b><b>brother</b><b>, </b><b>that’s </b><b>mine </b><b>to </b><b>deal </b>


    with<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    <b>“</b>Agreed<b>, </b>Thaddeus said simply before ending <b>the </b>call.


    His phone vibrated again <b>with </b>a message from Jareth<b>, </b>featuring a wide–<b>mouthed</b><b>, </b><b>exaggerated </b><b>emoji </b>of a dog:


    “Seriously? Cassius is really <b>with </b>Dr. Bright?”


    “If you’re here to gossip<b>, </b>please, I’m not interested.”


    I’m not


    “No, no, I’m just inexperienced, it’s the first time someone around me has had such an incident<b>, </b>I was just wondering. When you marry Evadne, what will you calf Dr. Bright?


    Sister–inw<i>? </i>Damn<b>, </b>that’s just weird!”


    Thaddeus fought <b>the </b>urge <b>to </b>roll his eyes and closed the chat box.


    In another room.


    Evadne sat in the lounge, repeatedly scrolling through the harshments online, her heart twisting in pain, her eyes red and swollen, almost pressing hard enough to break the screen.


    Arnold and Bet stood by her side, exchanging nces, both unsettled by the situation they had never encountered.


    “Evadne, don’t let it get to you. Cassius and Dr. Bright aren’t celebrities in entertainment circles; this gossip will fade away soon enough,” Arnold sighed, feeling a sense of injustice on his brother’s behalf.


    “The attention will fade, but the shadows it casts on Cassius and Dr. Bright’s hearts will never go away.”


    With her eyes closed, Evadne took a deep breath, striving for calm. “Cassius is President of the K Group. Even though the conglomerate belongs to the Ashbourne family, this scandal will still ruin his credibility and public image. That’s exactly what the mastermind behind the scenes wants–to ensure Cassius can never face the public again. Chasel may not be a public figure, but the Brights are no pushovers. Now that they know, can he ever go back home?”


    The thought made her heart feel like it was about to explode.


    Having been through so much together, she hade to see Chasel as family. Hearing that he had suffered at the hands of his own family, she wanted nothing more than to confront the Brights and dismantle those who had hurt him.


    Her heart was the same as her brother’s.


    She couldn’t bear to see Chasel mistreated again.


    Seeing Evadne’s eyes brimming with tears, Bet immediately knelt on one knee beside her, holding her hand tenderly. His gaze was focused and gentle. “Don’t worry.


    Dr. Bright is such a good man. If the Bright family is too blind to appreciate him, then he has a ce in our family.” “Bet.” Evadne’s voice was soft, her eyes welling up.


    “I used to wonder,” Bet said with a lightugh, “what kind of person could match a man as outstanding as our brother, who is so proud and lofty, almost heavenly. Now, I think that no one but Dr. Bright is worthy of him.”


    Evadne’s mind cleared as if a fog had lifted.


    She remembered the times when she’d wondered why they were always joined at the hip; every time Cassius called on, Chasel would do his utmost to help; the look in their eyes when they locked on each other, was brimmed with unfathomable depths of emotions, like the mysterious vastness of stars twinkling in the night sky.


    It turned <b>out</b><b>, </b>there were signs <b>all </b>along.


    “Bet was right! Big brother has finally found someone, and it’s a joyous asion!”


    Arnold’s face brightened, his l*ps spreading into a beaming smile. “Ha! Looks like one of us Emeric boys is finally off the market. Cassius is setting a fine example for the rest of us bachelors.”


    Bet spoke <b>with </b><b>a </b>deep sincerity, “Then you better hurry up, too. You’re not getting any younger<b>.</b>”


    <b>“</b><b>Come </b>on! The four of us brothers were born <b>just </b>minutes apart<b>, </b>and here you are preaching at me? Take care <b>of </b>yourself. Hanging <b>out </b><b>with </b>the <bds </b>all day<b>, </b>not a singledy in sight. I’m worried you’ll end up a lonely old man.”


    Bet joked nonchntly<b>, </b>“Doesn’t matter. If there are no women<b>, </b>then I might just choose a good–looking man from the lot.”


    <b>Evadne </b>and Arnold’s eyes <b>went </b>wide <b>as </b>they stretched their hands out towards <b>him </b>in unison, “No! <b>Don’t </b>you dare!”


    Just <b>then</b><b>, </b>a <b>light </b>knock <b>on </b><b>the </b>door sounded.


    <b>Arnold </b><b>walked </b><b>over </b><b>to </b><b>open </b><b>the </b>door<b>, </b><b>stopping </b>short in <b>surprise</b>, <b>“</b><b>Dr. </b>Bright<b>?</b><b>” </b>


    <b>Hearing that </b><b>Chasel </b>had <be</b><b>, </b>Evadne <b>immediately </b>stood <b>up </b>from <b>the </b>couch<b>. </b>


    “Arnold<b>, </b>is Evadne inside<b>?</b><b>” </b>


    Chasel’s l*ps, parched <b>and </b><b>dry</b>, moved <b>with </b><b>effort </b><b>as </b><b>he </b>tried to <b>voice </b><b>the </b>words, “I’d <b>like </b><b>to </b><b>speak </b><b>with her </b>alone<b>.</b><b>” </b>
