His Ex wife is a billionaire Chapter 724

    Chapter <b>724 </b>


    The scale of the Fairhaven Group premises, only the towering Abernathy Group rivaled the might of it. The skyscraper, with its dozens of stories and thousands of rooms, was a testament to power and intimidation. But within itsbyrinthine confines, Jareth’s heart raced with dread at the thought of his beloved Mari being- trapped in some secret chamber, subjected to unspeakable horrors.


    His fingers trembled violently, a physical manifestation of the pain that coursed through his nerves, tormenting his nearly shattered heart with an excruciating burn,


    Gary would never divulge where he’d hidden Mari; he relished the thought of keeping his most treasured possession out of reach, twisting the knife in Jareth’s heart, fueling his rage, his hatred.


    Yet, what baffled Jareth most was Lily’s prowess. She could handle herself, no doubt about it – one against ten or even twenty was child’s y for her. She was armed and wouldn’t hesitate to take down any of Gary’s goons if push came to shove<b>. </b>


    He couldn’t fathom how the riff–raff under Gary’smand had breached his home security, snatched Mari from under Lily’s vignt watch, and spirited her away to the Fairhaven Group’s fortress without a whisper of a lead.


    “Did you check the surveince?!” Jareth barked as he raced through the corridors, his throat raw with urgency. Dean, hot on his heels, clenched his jaw, “Checked. No camera shows any sign of Mrs. Fairhaven. Whoever brought Mrs. Fairhaven here knows the Fairhaven Group premises inside out. It’s gotta be an inside job.”


    “It’s collusion, I bet!” Jareth’s voice was a harsh rasp of bloody vengeance as he called Lily, “Otherwise, that son of a b*tch wouldn’t <b>have </b>the guts!”


    But Lily’s phone was off. Jareth’s heart tightened, a cold sweat breaking out across his b*dy, a chilling premonition of something far worse than he’d anticipated.


    “Round up everyone. Search room by room! Whoever finds my wife, I’ll guarantee them a lifetime of riches!” He dered with a voice rising from a pain–wracked chest, his pale l*ps trembling, his breaths erratic, “Also, call the police. Lily’s in danger!”


    “Yes, Mr. Fairhaven!” Dean affirmed at once<b>. </b>


    Jareth’s mind raced, piecing together theyout of the room where Mari might be held. It was an odd room, different in color and furnishings from the rest of the skyscraper.


    Gary wanted to y mind games, to make it hard for Jareth to find her. That meant the secret chamber was somewhere Gary was sure he wouldn’t know. Suddenly, it dawned on Jareth that the top floor, the chairman’s private domain, was off–limits to others. That had to be <b>where </b>Mari was!


    He sprinted off the elevator when it reached the top floor, calling out for his love with a voice so hoarse it <b>mangled </b>the name “Mari” into an unrecognizable distortion.


    Then he stopped dead in his tracks.


    At the end of the quiet corridor, a dark crevice had opened in the otherwise immacte wall. And there, Mari’s favorite teddy bear sat obediently against the wall, just as his darling wife would wait for him <b>on </b>the <b>couch </b>each night, a picture of tranquil domesticity.


    In <b>the </b>blindingly white room beyond, Mariy silent and broken on the floor, her slender <b>b*dy </b>in a white cotton dress as fragile as a feather <b>on </b>the verge of being scattered <b>by </b>the <b>wind</b>.


    <b>“</b>Maril Jareth’s whole <b>b*dy </b><b>shook </b>uncontrobly as he kneeled beside her<b>, </b>pulling <b>her </b><b>limp </b>form into his chest<b>, </b><b>“</b>Mari, Jareth’s here, your husband’s here. It’s okay<b>; </b><b>It’ll </b>be <b>okay</b>.


    <b>His </b><b>words </b><b>were </b>incoherent, his teeth chattering, bitter tears <b>spilling </b><b>over </b><b>his </b><b>reddened </b>eyes <b>and </b>Into <b>the </b>deptha <b>of </b>his heart<b>. </b>


    Mari’s eyes opened slowly, dim and unfocused. She tried hard to open her mouth, but it took a while to finally make a sound, her red eyes like a desated well, “Jareth, why did you take so long? Why did you take <b>so </b>long?”


    Each weak question felt like a bullet through Jareth’s heart. The guilt and pain were overwhelming; his l*ps moved, but no words would form


    “Something happened to Lily, is she going to die?”


    The mere thought about the previous image on the screen sent Mari into a panic, her eyes wide open, her frail b*dy suddenly convulsing in Jareth’s arms. He was terrified, each breath stabbing at his chest.


    “No, Lily won’t die! Mari, I’m taking you to the hospital right now!”


    Meanwhile


    After what happened today, they had no choice but adjourn the board meeting. The Fairhaven father and son were left alone in the boardroom.


    “Did you see that, Dad? That Abernathy girl ispletely unhinged.” Face swollen from a beating, Gary <b>spat </b>out venomously. “We can’t let a woman like that into the Fairhaven family. It’ll be a curse for generations! Imagine the gossip in Elmsworth, saying we’re the Abernathy’spdogs, desperate to wee their deranged daughter into


    our family. Sickening, don’t you think?”


    Barry’s stern gaze and displeased downturn of l*ps gave silent agreement to his son’s words.


    “Dad, to leave today’s such an important board meeting for that lunatic! What does Jareth think the board meeting represents? Does he respect you at all? Is he fit to be CEO? Gary fumed with indignation.


    Barry looked at him sideways, ‘Jareth may not be fit, but do you think you are?”


    Gary was left speechless<b>. </b>


    “I’m your old man, kid. You think I don’t know how much you weigh in this game? I might be getting on in years, but I’m not out of my mind. If I let the Fairhaven Group fall into your hands, I might as well dig a hole and bury myself before the frost sets in!”


    A surge of fury shot through Gary’s veins. The old man had always favored the firstborn’s family. After all the trouble of getting rid of Kris, his son was still blocking Gary’s path!


    He was green with regret. Back in the day, he should’ve had no mercy. When Jareth was just a kid, he should’ve taken him out of the picture, and none of this endless hassle would’ve followed!


    Gary took a deep breath topose himself, thinking that since the CEO seat was out of reach, he had to make sure Jareth’s marriage to the daughter of the Abernathy family fell through.

    That young wolf had snatched his power; Gary would snatch away his beloved. That would be fair that would be satisfying!


    “Dad, you see how things <b>are </b>shaping up today. I don’t think Jareth has any intention of giving up on the Abernathy girl.”


    Gary’s gaze turned <b>dark </b>and brooding. “You know the kind of stubbornness in that boy. If he’s set on marrying <b>her</b>, I doubt we can sway his choice.”


    <b>“</b>Maybe we couldn’t before, but now, it seems we don’t have to lift a <b>finger</b>.”


    What do you mean?


    “If the video of <b>Me</b>. Abernathy having an episode goes viral, causing a stir across town, do you think Frederic <b>would </b>still agree to marry <b>his </b><b>daughter </b>Into <b>our </b>family?” Barry let <b>out </b>a coldugh, “I dare say <b>that </b>not only <b>Frederic </b><b>but </b>even his best <b>buddy </b><b>Thaddeus </b>wouldn’t stand <b>by </b><b>him </b><b>then </b>


    <b>Gary </b>pped his hands in delight as <b>he </b>gave a thumbs up in <b>an </b>instant<b>, </b>“Damn, many a <b>good </b>tune can be <b>yed </b>on <b>an </b>old fiddlel <b>Ive </b>still <b>got </b>a <b>lot </b><b>to </b>leam from <b>your </b>
