His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 782
The moment the live stream flickered to life, the police had zeroed in on the
kidnappers' hideout.
Squad cars encircled the crumbling villa, 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, had come 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.
“Marilla!”
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 Island 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 Marilla’s fragile figure was nowhere to be seen.
Thaddeus and Evadne dashed into the other rooms, calling out for Marilla, but to
no avail!
That's when Aaron, flanked by two colleagues, burst through the door:
“We've searched the villa top to bottom, including the basement. No sign of
Marilla!”
“And Lily?!" Evadne was frantic, and her beautiful face was slick with sweat.
“We can't reach her! But our tech team is on her phone's trail!”
A sinking feeling hit Thaddeus, “Evadne, you said this was Gary's doing, so could
these scum be a smokescreen? Could Marilla and Lily have been moved by
him?!”
Evadne was choked by terror, barely able to breathe.
Edith, seeing no way out and shaking like a leaf, tried to play the victim; she
crawled to Jareth, sobbing and wailing:
“Big brother! You've come for me? I was brought here by Gary, and he tried to Kill
me. Ah!!”
Her plea cut short by a bone—chilling scream, but Jareth, with his eyes blazing
with murderous intent, kicked her like a soccer ball, sending her flying!
The room was silent, save for the thud of Edith crashing against the wall, then
sliding down like a broken doll.
*Ugh.
She curled up, twitched, and vomited a mouthful of blood.
But Jareth showed no mercy; he just stomped toward her and kicked her
relentlessly.
He wanted her dead,
The pain was excruciating, but Edith couldn't even sob; she could do nothing but
writhe before her old classmate, her former lover; her disgrace was on full
display.

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 Marilla
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 Marilla? Where?!”
“l... 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 villa was caught on hidden cameras, and it was streamed online. The whole
country has seen your crimes; you've been played 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!”
Frank, the coward, blurted out, “Two men came; they took Marilla and a woman
away! Edith called one of them Ken, but he ignored her! Mr. Thaddeus! Mr.
Fairhaven! We were all tricked by Edith! She threatened us if we didn’t hurt
Marilla, she'd kill us! We had no choice. Ah!”
Thaddeus glared coldly, and kicked him squarely in the face, “How dare you call
her Marilla?”
The kid cried, with his teeth shattered.
“Since middle school, Edith bullied Marilla! We were all under her spell!” another
chimed in between sobs.
“Edith! You wondered who betrayed you? It was me!”
The girl in the red dress confessed, “I've always hated your guts! You've always
just used us to bully Marilla, and never gave us a second glance!”
As the walls closed in, the traitors turned on each other.
Alston, lying in the corner, wanted to speak.
But his tongue was gone.
Thaddeus wouldn't let slide the one who tried to assault his sister.
He strode over, and delivered a brutal kick below Alston's belt.
“Mmph!” Alston's severed tongue quivered and his body turned rigid; the severe
pain knocked him out cold.
Now, he was completely silenced.
Evadne’s eyes blazed with fury, “It's Gary's doing, Aaron. We need to issue a
nationwide manhunt for Gary—now!”
“The warrant’s out. Every port, station, and airport is locked down tight. He won't
get far,” Aaron gritted, with his knuckles cracking. As the head of the detective
squad, he was fighting to keep his emotions in check.

Evadne, consumed by rage, strode over and slapped 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 hazy
laughter.
“You think crawling back here means you've escaped? Your fate’s only going to
be worse now!”

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 cold laugh
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 for what you did to my wife. Now, I'm returning the
favor!”

Just then, his phone rang.
Jareth’s eyes widened at the sight of the name flashing on the screen: Gary.
Trembling, he brought the phone to his ear. A voice laced with malice came
through:
“Jareth, your uncle never showed you much love, but let this be my final gift to
you. Do you like it?"
All fell silent, and the police were also listening in to trace Gary's location through
Jareth’s phone.
“Leave Marilla and Lily out of this. This is between you and me,” Jareth's voice
was so hoarse that it was barely coherent.
“I've sent you the address. Come and find me,” Gary's sinister laugh echoed.
“It's time to end this, man.”
