His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 783
In the grip of a life—or—death phone call, Gary laid down two conditions-
No guns. Come alone.
“Thaddeus, Evadne, Captain Ashbourne, I leave this in your hands. I'm off to
meet Gary.”
With those final words, Jareth didn’t hesitate for a second. He turned on his heel
and strode towards the
door.
“Jareth!” Thaddeus* voice was torn with anguish as he grabbed hold of him. “It's a
trap set by Gary. He might be after your life. You can’t go alone!”
“He wants my life, Thad.” Jareth managed a feeble, heart-wrenching smile. “If
my life can ensure Marilla and Lily come back alive, then it's worth the gamble.”
Evadne, with her eyes brimming with tears, declared resolutely, “Jareth, we're
coming with you! We'll set up an ambush and strike when the time is right. We'll
definitely rescue Marilla and Lily!”
Shaking his head, Jareth replied, “Thank you, Evadne. But I can’t take that risk
again. If it means Marilla and Lily can return alive, then truly, it's a worthy trade.”
Evadne could barely hold back her tears, and Thaddeus felt his heart sink layer
by layer.
“Jareth.”
Aaron, with a look as sharp as a falcon, stepped forward and opened his palm to
reveal a tiny bug, “Wear this. Keep in touch with the police. I'll coordinate things
from here.”
With his pale lips trembling. Jareth took the device, “Thank you.”
“You, Marilla and Lily must come back alive. That's an order.”
Drawing a deep breath, Aaron managed a comforting smile that was almost like a
warm moonlight embrace, “You're not just fighting for Evadne and Thaddeus.
We're right here waiting for you.”
Jareth paused, then he flashed a brief smile and clapped Aaron on the shoulder
with force.
In the early morning, the sky was starless, and the weak and hazy moonlight
added to a sense of desolation.
The screech of tires tearing against the pavement echoed as Jareth's sports car
slid to a halt in the middle of the compound.
Before him stood a half-constructed commercial complex, one of the Fairhaven
Group's properties.
The project was originally Gary’s responsibility, but after he was ousted from
Fairhaven, it naturally fell into Jareth’s lap.
With determined and forceful steps, Jareth approached the main entrance,
without a hint of hesitation in his stride.
No matter the cost, he had to bring Marilla back.
Marilla, life without you is tasteless.
He pushed open the heavy door and entered with an icy expression.
The lobby was deserted, and at that moment, Gary sent a message.
Jareth didn’t understand why Gary added that last line, which seemed oddly
cryptic.
Two seconds later, he decided to play it safe and take the stairs.

He quickened his pace to dash up the stairwell.
But just as he reached the second floor, a chaotic flurry of footsteps followed
from behind.
Jareth spun around in shock and barely avoided two glinting machetes lunging at
him in murderous intent! The henchmen pounced one after another, brandishing
their knives. Having disarmed one of them, Jareth seized the half-meter blade
and cut through flesh with a ruthless efficiency.
One by one, these guys fell before him, with blood pooling and limbs scattering.
But his own arm was wounded, and his black coat was also shredded. He tore off
a strip of fabric and wrapped it tightly around his hand to prevent the weapon
from slipping.
Another wave of henchmen was on his heels!
Jareth knew this was just another “difficulty” Gary had added to his game.
Without lingering, he ran towards the elevator, which was dozens of meters away.
He slammed the button frantically, and seconds later, the doors slid open.
But waiting for him inside were five more blade-wielding thugs!
In the swimming pool area.
Gary lounged on a deck chair, lazily puffing on his favorite cigar, while playing
some cheesy pop music on his phone.
Every few minutes, he would glance at his watch, then smacked his lips and
continued his rest.
Twenty minutes later, the elevator door facing the swimming pool entrance
chimed open.
Gary's half-closed, bored eyes suddenly widened.
Stepping over the bodies at his feet, Jareth moved heavily yet with unyielding
determination towards the pool area, like a war god emerging from a sea of blood
and mountains of corpses.
His once frosty face was now smeared with blood, and his only white shirt was
soaked in a glaring, striking red.
“Heh, not bad, kid.” Gary took a deep puff of his cigar; his admiration for the
young man seemed to grow.
He hadn't expected Jareth to walk out of that elevator alive.
But the young man had done just that.
In his youth, Barry too was a legend feared in the underworld, and Jareth was
showing signs of his grandfather's prowess at his peak.
Jareth entered the pool area, with his gaze fixed on the sworn enemy that
haunted his heart; his lips turned white, and his entire body was chilled.
He'd sustained more than one knife wound, and the gash on his arm was still
bleeding.
The battle in the elevator had nearly cost him his life, but it was the love for
Marilla and the concern for Lily that had carried him through the melee.
“Oh, Jareth, very impressive,” Gary gave him a thumbs-up.
“Where are Marilla and Lily, where are they?” Jareth gasped for air, with sweat on
his face washing away the blood.
“Now, now, no rush. How about a little heart-to-heart between us? We won't get
many more chances like this.”

Gary turned off the cheesy pop music and smiled with a dark significance, “After
all, opportunities like this won't come again.”
“My grandpa and my dad, did you kill them?”
“Of course.” Gary replied with a smile still on his lips.
“Why?”
“Because they both stood in the way of me getting what was rightfully mine.”
“What's yours? Gary, you're shameless and brazen.”

“No, no, no.”
Gary wagged his finger, “What's mine is what I want. And what I want becomes
mine.”
It was madness, sheer lunacy!
“Jareth, you know, when you were just a little tyke, I was quite fond of you. I even
held you in my arms once; you were a hefty little bundle with cheeks as round as

Gary's smile slowly faded into a dark scowl, and his eyes were brimming with
malevolence.
“You're after my life, and here I am. Release Marilla and Lily, and I'll play your
game,” Jareth’s eyes flashed with a fierce chill.
“True to the spirit of my elder brother's son, what a gallant lad!”
Gary raised his voice and called out, “Jackson, bring the ladies out, please!”
