His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 724
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 its labyrinthine
confines, Jareth’s heart raced with dread at the thought of his beloved Marilla
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 Marilla; 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 play for her. She was
armed and wouldn't hesitate to take down any of Gary's goons if push came to
shove.
He couldn't fathom how the riff-raff under Gary's command had breached his
home security, snatched Marilla from under Lily's vigilant watch, and spirited her
away to the Fairhaven Group's fortress without a whisper of a lead.
“Did you check the surveillance?!” 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 bitch wouldn't have the guts!”
But Lily's phone was off. Jareth’s heart tightened, a cold sweat breaking out
across his body, 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 declared with a voice rising from a pain—
wracked chest, his pale lips trembling, his breaths erratic, “Also, call the police.
Lily's in danger!”
“Yes, Mr. Fairhaven!” Dean affirmed at once.
Jareth’s mind raced, piecing together the layout of the room where Marilla might
be held. It was an odd room, different in color and furnishings from the rest of the
skyscraper.
Gary wanted to play 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 where Marilla was!
He sprinted off the elevator when it reached the top floor, calling out for his love
with a voice so hoarse it mangled the name “Marilla” 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
immaculate wall. And there, Marilla’s favorite teddy bear sat obediently against
the wall, just as his darling wife would wait for him on the couch each night, a
picture of tranquil domesticity.
In the blindingly white room beyond, Marilla lay silent and broken on the floor, her
slender body in a white cotton dress as fragile as a feather on the verge of being
scattered by the wind.
“Marillal Jareth's whole body shook uncontrollably as he kneeled beside her,
pulling her limp form into his chest, “Marilla, Jareth’s here, your husband's here.
It's okay; It'll be okay.
His words were incoherent, his teeth chattering, bitter tears spilling over his
reddened eyes and Into the deptha of his heart.
Chapter 724
Marilla’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 desiccated
well, “Jareth, why did you take so long? Why did you take so long?”
Each weak question felt like a bullet through Jareth’s heart. The guilt and pain
were overwhelming; his lips 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 Marilla into a
panic, her eyes wide open, her frail body suddenly convulsing in Jareth’s arms.
He was terrified, each breath stabbing at his chest.
“No, Lily won't die! Marilla, 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 is completely unhinged.” Face
swollen from a beating, Gary spat 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 EImsworth, saying we're the Abernathy’s lapdogs, desperate to welcome their
deranged daughter into
our family. Sickening, don't you think?”
Barry's stern gaze and displeased downturn of lips 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.

Gary took a deep breath to compose 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 are shaping up today. I don't think Jareth has any
intention of giving up on the Abernathy girl.”
Gary's gaze turned dark and brooding. “You know the kind of stubbornness in
that boy. If he’s set on marrying her, I doubt we can sway his choice.”
“Maybe we couldn't before, but now, it seems we don't have to lift a finger.”
