His Ex wife is a billionaire Chapter 782

    <b>Chapter </b><b>782 </b>


    The moment the live stream flickered to life, the police had zeroed in on the kidnappers‘ hideout.


    Squad cars encircled the crumbling vi, with sirens piercing the night sky; the blue and red lights of the cars expelled the shadows of fear.


    Glynnis was still knocked out cold on the floor, but Edith, with the tenacity of a cockroach, hade to her senses earlier.


    Hearing the wail of sirens, she panicked and attempted to flee, only to be confronted by several familiar silhouettes storming in with earth–shaking presence.


    “Mari!”


    Jareth burst in first; in his eyes brimming with tears of blood, a glimmer of hope shined through the pain.


    He’d always been fearless; even having known that Star Ind was home to stone–cold mercenaries, he’d ventured there with Thaddeus.


    But now, he was pale; his steps were unsteady, and he was almost stumbling.


    The living room was a mess, with the bullies sprawled out across the floor, and Glynnis was still unconscious.


    The space was small, but Mari’s fragile figure was nowhere to be seen.


    Thaddeus and Evadne dashed into the other rooms, calling out for Mari, but to no avail!


    That’s when Aaron, nked by two colleagues, burst through the door:


    “We’ve searched the vi top to bottom, including the basement. No sign of Mari!”


    “And Lily<b>?!</b>” Evadne was frantic, and her beautiful face was slick with sweat.


    “We <b>can’t </b>reach her! But <b>our </b>tech team <b>is </b>on her phone’s trail!<b>” </b>


    A sinking feeling hit Thaddeus, “Evadne, you said this was Gary’s doing, so could these scum be a smokescreen? Could Mari and Lily have been moved by him<b>?!</b><b>” </b>


    <b>Evadne </b>was choked <b>by </b><b>terror</b><b>, </b>barely able to breathe.


    Edith<b>, </b>seeing no <b>way </b>out and shaking like a leaf, tried to y <b>the </b>victim<b>; </b>she crawled to Jareth<b>, </b>sobbing and wailing:


    “Big <b>brother</b>! You’ve <be </b><b>for </b>me? <b>I </b>was brought here by <b>Gary</b><b>, </b>and he tried <b>to </b>kill me. Ah!!<b>” </b>


    Her plea <b>cut </b><b>short </b>by <b>a </b><b>bone</b>–<b>chilling </b>scream<b>, </b><b>but </b><b>Jareth</b>, with his eyes <b>zing </b>with murderous intent, kicked her like a ser <b>ball</b><b>, </b>sending <b>her </b>flying!


    The room was silent<b>, </b><b>save </b><b>for </b><b>the </b><b>thud </b>of <b>Edith </b>crashing against <b>the </b>wall, then sliding down like a broken <b>doll</b>.


    *Ugh<b>. </b>


    She <b>curled </b><b>up</b><b>, </b><b>twitched</b><b>, </b><b>and vomited </b><b>a </b>mouthful of blood.


    But <b>Jareth </b><b>showed </b><b>no </b>mercy<b>; </b>he just <b>stomped </b>toward <b>her </b><b>and </b>kicked her relentlessly.


    <b>He </b>wanted her <b>dead</b><b>, </b>


    <b>The </b>pain <b>was excruciating</b><b>, </b><b>but </b>Edith <b>couldn’t </b>even sob<b>; </b>she could <b>do </b><b>nothing </b><b>but </b>writhe before her old ssmate, her <b>former </b><b>lover</b><b>; her </b>disgrace was on full disy.


    <b>L1</b><b>/</b><b>3 </b>


    Thaddeus just watched; normally he’d intervene, but not this time. He watched coldly, because Jareth’s actions mirrored his own desires.


    Yet, Thaddeus wouldn’t let his hands be stained with blood, nor would he let his buddy pay the price.


    “Jareth! Stop, if she dies, you’ll face the consequences!”


    Aaron, as a cop, had to step in, “Do you want to be separated from Mari forever?!”


    Jareth’s eyes were wild as he broke free from Aaron, grabbed Edith by the hair, and hauled her battered body


    up:


    “Where’s Mari? Where?!”


    “I… don’t… know…”


    Edith could barely speak through the blood, but she was still denying, “It wasn’t me.”


    “Edith, even now you lie?”


    Evadne, trembling with rage, cried out, “Everything you’ve done since entering this vi was caught on hidden cameras<b>, </b>and it was streamed online. The whole country has seen your crimes; you’ve been yed by Gary, yet you still won’t tell the truth? Are you waiting to see your own coffin?!”


    Edith was stunned, with her mouth agape, and it grew increasingly wide until it turned into a gaping and bloody hole.


    “I know! I know!<b>” </b>


    Frank, the coward, blurted out, “Two men came; they took Mari and a woman away! Edith called one of them Ken<b>, </b>but he ignored her! Mr. Thaddeus! Mr. Fairhaven! We were all tricked by Edith! She threatened us if we didn’t hurt Mari<b>, </b>she’d kill us! We had no choice. Ah!”


    Thaddeus red coldly, and kicked him squarely in the face, “How dare you call her Mari?”


    The kid cried, with his teeth shattered.


    “Since middle school, Edith bullied Mari! We were all under her spell<b>!</b><b>” </b>another chimed in between <b>sobs</b><b>. </b>


    “Edith! You wondered who betrayed you? <b>It </b>was me!”


    The girl <b>in the </b>red dress confessed, “I’ve always hated your guts<b>! </b>You’ve always <b>just </b>used us to bully Mari, and <b>never </b>gave us a second nce!”


    As the walls closed in<b>, </b><b>the traitors </b>turned on each <b>other</b><b>. </b>


    Alston<b>, </b><b>lying </b>in <b>the </b>corner, <b>wanted to </b>speak.


    But his <b>tongue </b><b>was </b><b>gone</b>.


    Thaddeus wouldn’t let <b>slide the </b><b>one </b><b>who </b>tried <b>to </b>assault <b>his </b>sister.


    He strode over, <b>and </b><b>delivered </b><b>a </b><b>brutal </b><b>kick </b>below <b>Alston’s </b><b>belt</b>.


    <b>“</b><b>Mmph</b><b>!</b>” Alston’s severed <b>tongue </b><b>quivered </b><b>and </b><b>his </b><b>body </b>turned <b>rigid</b><b>; </b><b>the </b>severe <b>pain </b><b>knocked </b>him out <b>cold</b>.


    Now<b>, </b><b>he </b>was <bpletely </b>silenced.


    <b>Evadne’s </b>eyes zed <b>with </b>fury<b>, </b><b>“</b><b>It’s </b><b>Gary’s </b>doing, <b>Aaron</b>. We need <b>to </b>issue a <b>nationwide </b>manhunt <b>for </b>Gary<b>–</b><b>now</b><b>!</b><b>” </b>


    “The warrant’s out. Every <b>port</b>, <b>station</b><b>, </b><b>and </b><b>airport </b>is locked down <b>tight</b>. He <b>won’t </b><b>get </b><b>far</b><b>,</b><b>” </b>Aaron gritted, with his knuckles <b>cracking</b>. As the head <b>of </b><b>the </b><b>detective </b>squad<b>, </b>he was <b>fighting </b><b>to </b>keep his emotions in check.


    <b>2/2 </b>


    <b>11:10 </b>


    “Ha, Ahahaha!”


    Glynnis, sporting a massive bump on her head, hade to senses; she pointed at Edith, and cackled like a madwoman. “Edith, you’ve yed me for so long and dragged me through hell and now you’ve got yours!”


    Evadne, consumed by rage, strode over and pped her hard across the face. “Who sent you back here? Spill it!”


    “Heh. I’d die before I told you, you wretch!” Glynnis sneered, and gave out a hazyughter.


    “You think crawling back here means you’ve escaped? Your fate’s only going to be worse now!”


    “Who cares? I’m riddled with disease. What do I have to fear? I made Edith drink my blood, so now she’s got it too. Mari bit Edith, and she’s gonna get it as well.


    Hahahaha! They’ve all got AIDS! Thaddeus, all your scheming ended up dragging your precious sister into this mess! You deserve it, oh you do! Hahahaha!”


    Evadne’s gaze was icy as she stared at Glynnis‘ diseased face, and a coldugh escaped her lips.


    The chances of AIDS transmitting this way were next to nothing since the HIV virus could hardly survive in the digestive tract’s mucus.


    But she wouldn’t be the one to enlighten Glynnis.


    Let the fool wallow in her delusion of victory. Let Edith live in fear day and night.


    They deserved every bit of it!


    “Edith, each kick is payback <b>for </b>what you did to my wife. Now, I’m returning the favor!”


    Jareth dropped Edith to the ground again; he felt his hatred zing like a wildfire through his organs and ravaging his heart. “You could die a thousand times and it still wouldn’t be enough to atone for what you did to Mari<b>!</b>”


    Just then, <b>his </b>phone rang.


    Jareth’s eyes widened at the sight of the name shing <b>on </b>the screen: Gary.


    Trembling, he brought the phone to his ear. A voiceced with malice came through:


    “Jareth, <b>your </b>uncle <b>never </b>showed you much love, but <b>let </b>this be my final gift to you. Do you like it<b>?</b><b>” </b>


    All <b>fell </b>silent<b>, </b>and <b>the </b>police were also listening in to trace Gary’s location through Jareth’s phone.


    “Leave Mari and Lily out of this. This is between you and me,” <b>Jareth’s </b><b>voice </b>was so hoarse that it was barely coherent.


    <b>“</b>I’ve <b>sent </b><b>you </b><b>the </b>address. Come <b>and </b>find me,” Gary’s sinisterugh echoed.


    <b>“</b>It’s <b>time </b><b>to end </b>this<b>, </b><b>man</b><b>.” </b>
