His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 771
That night, The Velvet Haven was abuzz with whispers and shadowy
movements.
Elsie guided Hans through the dimly lit, opulent corridors of the establishment.
The man trailing behind her was as silent and foreboding as a bat in the night,
sending shivers up her spine
In a highly discreet room, Avery had been waiting for some time.
“Hans, I didn’t expect to see you again so soon,” Avery said, his smile spreading
across his face as he handed Hans a glass of fine red wine. “You must be weary
from your journey. I've prepared this top-shelf vintage especially for you.”
Hans’ features were stern, and he deflected the wine glass without blinking,
showing no courtesy to the man who represented Sir in EImsworth,
“Ms. Archer briefed me on the way here.”
Seeing Hans' refusal to drink, Avery took a sip himself, demonstrating his
flexibility. “Is that so? Then I suppose I can skip the formalities.”
“Avery, why do you persist in troubling a young lady? Do you think I have nothing
better to do?” Hans’ gaze was dark and intense.
“Have you developed a soft spot for the fairer sex?” Avery teased, swirling the
wine in his glass with elegant fingers. “It seems you're not as cold—hearted as I
thought, still capable of human sentiment.”
“I simply find it beneath me. The tasks you set for me are degrading.” Hans
replied sharply, his words laced with an edge. “Sir appointed you to oversee
Elmsworth, and all you can do to fend off enemies is.to kidnap their wives and
children and seek outside help? This establishment of yours, The Velvet Haven,
it's time it goes under.”
Elsie’s eyelashes fluttered with a strange sense of satisfaction.
Inside The Velvet Haven, no one dared to speak to Mr. Chambers with such
insolence.
But Hans didn’t care. He was Sir's man and only followed Sir’s orders.
Sure enough, Avery's delicately featured face began to contort with barely
concealed rage, his knuckles whitening as he gripped his wine glass. Yet he
restrained himself and simply said with a light chuckle, “Hans, the fact that we're
meeting tonight means Sir approves of my plan. You just need to cooperate. And
I didn’t say my target this time is that young girl; she’s just a decoy. I know the
previous tasks were too simple, lacking challenge, and I apologize for
underutilizing someone of your talents, Hans. This time, I've found you a new
target that I guarantee will not disappoint.”
With that, he picked up a file from the coffee table and handed it to Hans.
Hans took the file and glanced through it. His complex gaze finally settled on a
photo of a man in a police uniform. After a long pause, he spoke in a hoarse
voice,
“He’s a cop?”
“Yes.”
Avery sipped his wine leisurely. “A young man already holding the position of a
detective squad leader, distinguished and promising
Elsie’s pupils contracted sharply, and she pinched her arm hard to manage her
astonished expression. “Hm. I hope he'll prove to be a worthy adversary.” Hans
tore the man’s photo from the file and pocketed it, tossing the rest aside.
“So, Hans, you're taking the job?”
Tim not going to hurt that girl.”

Hans’ expression was cold and resolute. “I'm an assassin, but I don’t prey on the
weak.”
“I understand,” Avery replied, his smile unaffected.
Hans had nothing more to say and turned to leave.
“One moment.”
Avery's eyes narrowed slightly. “For this mission, I'm assigning you an assistant,
to avoid any unforeseen complications. Elsie, you will accompany Hans.”
“Me?” Elsie’s heart tightened, and she immediately protested, “Mr. Chambers, I'm
only average in combat, I'll just hold Hans back.”
An extra pair of hands is always more secure.”
Avery looked at her with an amused gaze. “Elsie, you've never refused a task
I've given you.”
With no way out, Elsie reluctantly agreed.
After they left, the always silent Harvey approached Avery and whispered,
“Mr. Chambers, your grasp of the human psyche is truly masterful.”
“Hans is indeed a well-bred dog of Sir. Without a formidable opponent, it's hard
to keep him focused on working for me.
Avery rested his head on his hand, his voice laced with lethargy. “I'm eager to
see a real-life version of the legendary twins.”
“Mr. Chambers, do you think Hans and the son of the Ashbourne family, who
supposedly died in a plane crash, they look almost identical. Could they be the
same person?” Harvey asked, puzzled.
“Whether they are the same person or not, it only makes my game more
interesting.”
Avery chuckled. “To die at the hands of his own “brother’ would indeed be a fitting
end.”
“That Aaron, interfering with our plans time and again, and a cop to boot. Getting
rid of him would indeed solve a lot of problems.”
Harvey hesitated before speaking. “But this time, you're sending Ms. Archer with
him. Do you still doubt her? Are you testing her?”
Behind his gold-rimmed glasses, Avery's eyes half-closed darkly.
Ever since the Bartleys broke off the engagement, Hamilton had slept well, eaten
well, and had a good reason to have his granddaughter stay with him in
Havenbrook for a while.
Come the weekend, Thaddeus and Evadne, happy after a week's work, prepared
gifts and set out in high spirits to visit grandfather.
On the way, Evadne received a call from her eldest brother, Cassius.
“Cassius!” Evadne hit the speakerphone, her voice sweet and cheery.
“You sound happy, any good news?”
Cassius’ voice was warm and gentle. “Are you and Thaddeus exchanging vows?”
Exchanging vows?
Evadne’s bright eyes gazed at Thaddeus® handsome face.
The man beside her, his hand securely around her slender waist, yielded with a
smile.
“Im ready every day. If Evadne is willing, remarriage, anytime.”
The last words brushed softly past her flushed ear, stirring Evadne’s breath and
causing her heart to flutter

At her words, Thaddeus' heart contracted slightly, a sourness spreading through
his chest.
She didn’t mean to, but he took it to heart. He understood it as a stress response
from those three painful years of marriage she had endured.
All he felt was a deep, aching sympathy for her.
So, with trembling fingers, he clasped her delicate hand and pressed it to his
heart, taking deep breaths to control the surge of emotion,
“It's okay, you can feel however you want. The point is, you married me. With or
without a marriage certificate, I'm committed to you for life.”
Evadne’s cheeks flushed, her eyes shimmering like pools of water, flicking left
and right, too shy to meet his intense gaze.
“Being in love has its perks, too.”

Caught off guard, Evadne sat up straight, flustered, “Cassius! I have been in
love! Back in school, I had my fair share of admirers, more persistent than
weeds!”
Cassius chuckled lightly, “Weeds is the wrong analogy. More like sugarcanes.
You snapped them up one after another.”
Evadne was speechless.
Cassius had been hanging around Chasel too much, his tongue’s turned sharp!
A smile played on Thaddeus’ lips as he pulled his lady close to his heart.
He caressed her smooth shoulder, whispering affectionately, “I'm gonna keep you
so sweet on me that just the thought of romance will give you a toothache.”
“Mmm, it's already sickly sweet, give me some breathing room once in a while,
okay?” Evadne squirmed, feeling short of breath in his tight embrace.
His voice was thick and husky, “Not okay.”
Evadne’s face turned a deeper shade of red, too lazy to move from the comfort of
his arms.
“Let's get down to business. I called because I found out about that car license
plate you asked me to look into, Cassius said.
Evadne eagerly asked, “Who is it?”
“It's not so much “who’ as “where it belongs.”
Aaron's voice came through cool and clear, “That car is a government vehicle,
registered to the RC Biotech Research Institute.”
