His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 772
“Biotech Research Institute?”
Thaddeus' brows furrowed as he exchanged a puzzled glance with Evadne.
They couldn't fathom how Glynnis had gotten involved with such an organization.
“Cassius, you're up late, huh?”
Chasel's voice, lazy and seductive, came through the phone, sending
goosebumps all over Evadne.
Those beautiful, alluring fox-like eyes seemed to dance before her once again.
“I'm on the phone with Evadne and the hubby, did I wake you?” Cassius' voice
was annoyingly smooth and gemle.
Rustling sounds with ambiguous undertones followed.
“With Evadne? No worries, you guys chat, mmm.
Then, the car was filled with the shameful sounds of lips smacking and saliva
mingling.
Thaddeus swallowed hard, sweat breaking out on the palm wrapped around
Evadne’s waist. He had no choice but to divert his gaze out the window, trying to
calm his agitated emotions.
“Hey, hey, hey. Cassius, hold up! Can't you and Chasel get cozy after we finish
talking business? Can't it wait just a bit? Evadne couldn't help but blurt out,
embarrassed.
“Sorry Evadne, couldn't help ourselves. Chasel's joyful laughter floated through.
“What exactly is this RC Biotech Institute? A pharmaceutical company?” Evadne
pressed again.
Cassius explained softly, “Well, I think Chasel might know better.”
“RC was founded five years ago, focusing on medical inventions and drug
manufacturing, particularly targeting. diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson's, and
autism. In the past couple of years, even the government has pumped significant
funding into their research. They're like a rising star in the biotech industry.”
Chasel yawned, “Why do you ask, though?”
Thaddeus asked gravely, “Who founded this institute?”
“A doctor led the establishment of the institute. Published several academic
papers, pretty famous in the medical circles here in Country M. Hey, why are you
asking all this?” Chasel, drowsy from Cassius* kisses, dragged his words lazily.
Evadne pressed, “Chasel, what else do you know about it?”
“Not much more. Oh, right, they're working on a drug to treat Alzheimer’s. They
announced some breakthrough just a few days ago. Now, they're racing against
time with the Bright Group. Whoever gets the drug to market first is basically
unlocking a massive fortune.”
Chasel grumbled, “Hmph, I hope RC gets there first. It's about time to knock
Zachary down a peg or two!"
The more they heard, the more complex it seemed.
Thanks, Chasel. Thaddeus and I will fly over to see you soon, bring you some
local delicacies,” Evadne said as they wrapped up the call.
Thaddeus* chiseled jaw tightened, his mind whirring.
“Strange, isn't it?”
Evadne frowned, shaking her head, “Glynnis had barely set foot in Country M
before somehow getting tangled up with the biotech folks. And there was no prior
connection between them.”
Chapter 772
Jason, driving, chimed in, “Surely Glynnis isn’t so desperate that she’s selling a
kidney or something for research? With her medical history, I doubt she'd fetch a
high price.”
“Thaddeus, could someone your brother knows be at the institute?”
Evadne’s expression grew somber, “When Emeric had that stroke, you flew to
Country M to ask your brother for medicine. He got it for you effortlessly, which
means he’s got connections in the medical field. Is it possible. that he couldn't
get involved directly, so he sent someone to help Glynnis?”
“Evadne, you're thinking what I'm thinking.”
Thaddeus' long lashes cast shadows, his head shaking slightly, “But I still can’t
figure out why. If it really is my brother, what's his reason? He's never been the
type to meddle in such matters,”
Evadne leaned back, her lips parting with a tantalizing thought,
“If your brother really did save you back then, sacrificing himself so you could
live, I'd respect him as a man of honor and loyalty, unwilling to see his half-sister
destitute. Helping her out would be understandable. But if there's more to the
kidnapping than we know, or if over the years, his heart has changed toward you,
maybe he’s no longer the man you knew. Then helping Glynnis might just be his
way of giving you grief.”
Thaddeus clenched his fists in secret, his broad shoulders trembling slightly
beneath the crisp lines of his suit. Memories ebbed and flowed, dragging him
back into that hellish cell.
He could never forget his brother thrown at Windermere Estate's gates by
kidnappers, battered and barely alive.
His brother was his savior. Was it a lie?
How could it be a lie?
Had he destroyed his health in a performance, and for what?
Meanwhile, at Havenbrook Villa.
Today was the day Aaron and Marilla had planned to go to the amusement park,
and he had gotten up early to pick her up from Havenbrook.
Unexpectedly, his mom insisted on joining, eager to dote on her “future
daughter—in—law.”
The Ashbourne mother and son were rare visitors to Havenbrook, and Hamilton
himself came out to greet them, a sign of high regard.
“Is this Aaron? Truly a handsome young man!”
Hamilton couldn't stop smiling upon seeing the dashing Aaron, “Suri, your son is
the spitting image of Emeric in his youth! You don't need to tell me; I can see
Emeric’s son right here!”
“Cassius, Arnold and even Evadne take after Emeric a bit more,” Surl said with a
warm smile.
“My dad's genes are too strong,” Aaron joked harmlessly.
“I like this kid! No airs about him, he’s got Emeric's straightforward spirit,
refreshing!”
Hamilton clapped Aaron on the shoulder, then turned to Murray, “Murray, would
you kindly ask Marilla to join
us?
“Grandpa, I'm here.”
Marilla descended the staircase, a teddy bear tucked under her arm, curtsying
with the grace of a young debutante from a distinguished family, “Hello Suri, hi
Aaron.”
She had impeccable manners, the evident result of a refined upbringing.
Suri, unable to contain her enthusiasm, rushed forward and took Marilla’s hand,
instantly smitten.

Chapter 772
Despite the swirling rumors and slander targeting the young girl, Suri wouldn't let
them sway her opinion. She had her own mind to judge, her own eyes to see that
Marilla was a true gem, obscured only by the blindness of others.
Suddenly, Suri's gaze paused, noticing the bare wrist where the bracelet she
gave Marilla should have been, feeling a twinge of disappointment.
“Oh, I meant to wear it, but it's so precious, I feared I might scratch it,” Marilla
explained hurriedly, her voice laced with concern.
“It's alright, dear,”
Suri's heart skipped a beat, but she gently touched Marilla’s hand, “What I gave
you is yours to do with as you please. If you like to wear it, do so; if not, that's fine
too.”
Manilla nodded shyly.
Aaron, standing behind his mother, watched Marilla intently, his breathing
growing heavier, heartbeat racing beyond his control.
Seeing her smile, he couldn't help but mirror her expression, an involuntary grin
spreading across his lips.
“Murray, look at Aaron's face. Doesn't he look like he’s been struck by Cupid's
arrow?” Hamilton nudged Murray
with his elbow.
“Mr. Frederic, Aaron certainly looks smitten,” Murray responded with an amused
grin.

“Mom, when did I ever, Ouch!”

Since it was a prearranged outing, Marilla didn’t hesitate, simply saying,
“Grandpa, I'll be off then. Make sure you eat your meals and take your medicine
on time.”
“Don't worry about me, off you go!” Hamilton waved them off cheerfully.
Just then, a stern voice cut through the pleasant atmosphere,
“Stay put, no gallivanting about for you!”
