His Ex-Wife is A Billionaire - Season 3 Episode 2

“This ain’t no nightmare, it’s more like a midnight fright.” Cassius joked, taking a sip of his red wine.

After all, he and Arnold were spending the evening with their sister. Even Unfaithful Thaddeus wouldn’t dare to mess around.

Otherwise, the dagger hidden in his cross necklace wasn’t just for show, not even Jesus could save him then.

Unfaithful Thaddeus really has the guts to come here? Quick, prepare for battle!” Arnold cursed, eyes glued to the screen, fingers flying over the keyboard.

“Prepare for battle? What kind of battle, a keyboard duel?”

Evadne shook her head, looking agitated. Tm the one who summoned this demon, It’s only right that I send it away Let me go check”

She approached the entrance alone and switched on the video call.

The screen lit up, revealing Thaddeus handsome face with a hint of coldness.

“What are you here for?”

Evadne asked, her expression calm as if she didn’t know him, “No other places to go in Elmsworth? You just have to loiter around my house?”

“Evadne, come out. Let’s talk” Thaddeus ignored her sarcasm, his voice deep.

“So we can’t talk like this? Is it that you think I can’t see your face, or I can’t hear your voice?”

The man swallowed hard, letting out a sigh.

She really was as cold as ice.

“Evadne, stop fooling around. Come out, I have something to tell you.”

“Fooling around? Which eye of yours saw me fooling around with you? I’m clearly trying to drive you away. Can’t you see that?” Evadne couldn’t help but

sneer.

“I want to see you.”

Thaddeus’ eyes glittered in the dim light, his voice hoarse as if he was suppressing a lot of complex emotions, barely managing to voice out his desires, as if he had left all his pride and dignity behind.

“I want to see you”

Evadne’s heart clenched. She stepped back slightly

After a moment, she took a deep breath and laughed lightly.

If it was in the past, she would have cried tears of joy hearing Thaddeus say these words, she would do anything to hear him say this.

But now, his desire came too late. Their relationship had changed. If she continued to cling on, she would only demean herself.

“Thaddeus, the adult world is cruel. You can’t always get what you want. Things can’t always go your way”

Evadne tilted her head, her mocking smile sent shivers down his spine, “You’re the one who taught me this, remember? it took you three years.”

“Evadne” Thaddeus choked, his whole body tensed.

“It shouldn’t rain tonight.”

Evadne gazed at the moon, her voice cold, Thaddeus, last time I went out to meet you. It was because I was afraid you might get struck by lightning. This time, unless it’s raining knives, I won’t go out to see you. Just leave.”

Beep

The video call ended, leaving Thaddeus standing in the unfeeling darkness.

Thaddeus stood outside, surrounded by the cold autumn air, chilling his tall frame.

Evadne returned upstairs with heavy steps.

She really couldn’t understand. How could the man who used to treat her so coldly have the audacity to say he wanted to see her after their divorce? It was utterly shameless

What was there to say anyway? In the past three years, he could have talked to her openly, but he chose to ignore her in their spacious villa.

She had already wasted three years, and she wouldn’t waste any more time on this man.

Evadne walked into the study, Jason asked worriedly, “How did it go? Did Thaddeus upset you?”

“Hmph, he wouldn’t dare!”

Evadne walked over to Cassius, draped her arms around his neck and cooed.

“Did you manage to upset Thaddeus?” Cassius asked with a smile.

“Um, no.”

“What a pity.”

Cassius gently touched her cheek, jokingly said, “With me here tonight, you should’ve given him a good beating, that would’ve let off some steam.” Evadne responded dryly, “Cassius, I appreciate your kindness, but as a devout believer, we should resolve issues peacefully”

“Evadnel I’ve found it! Go get a bottle of the most expensive red wine to celebrate me!” Arnold shouted excitedly, hands raised high.

“Jason, go get a bottle of our best red wine from the cellar for Arnold”

Evadne’s eyebrows relaxed, she walked over to Arnold, hand on his shoulder, the other hand on the desk, eyes fixed on the screen, “Who’s the informant?”

“Her main account is this one!”

Arnold pointed at the screen, “She’s a social news reporter for Pioneer Post. Her name is Caroline! The IP address of this sub-account matches perfectly

with the main one!”

“Good job, Arnold, although it took a bit longer than expected.” Evadne smiled.

“This is already pretty fast! Why didn’t you get Elvis to do it? He’s the best at this. You should let people do what they’re good at!”

“I contacted Elvis a few days ago. He’s on an important mission right now, and I didn’t want to disturb him.”

“Evadne, I remember your hacking skills are pretty good too, on par with his. If you did it yourself, you might have found out yesterday” Cassius was a bit confused.

Evadne yawned, Tm lazy”

Arnold was speechless.

So he was just a misfortunate elder brother!

Evadne carefully looked at the account, she sneered, “What a justice-driven reporter. She should focus on her social news. Why suddenly switch to covering my hotel wedding? Isn’t she being a busybody?”

“Evadne, are you saying that this reporter was instructed by someone?” Cassius frowned.

If she wasn’t instructed, she must have been bribed. Media reporters usually stick to their own fields. As a social news reporter, she normally wouldn’t meddle in show business.”

Evadne stared at the name “Caroline”, murmuring to herself, “Caroline Porter? Why does this name ring a bell?”

Suddenly, a light bulb turned on in her head and she exclaimed, “I know who she is! She’s Keith Porter’s daughter!”

“Who’s Keith Porter?” asked Arnold, puzzled.

“The former deputy manager you fired who was once jailed?” Cassius chimed in curiously.

“Exactly! That’s his daughter!”

Evadne, with her sharp memory, recalled Keith Porter’s file she once read, and it clicked. “If she’s the one leaking information, then it makes sense.”

1 get it now. You tarnished her dad’s reputation. The fact she didn’t throw you under the bus in the media actually shows some restraint,” Arnold seriously nodded.

“He betrayed the company and took bribes. I mean, was I supposed to just let him off the hook?”

With a smug look, Evadne said, “Keith screwed up, not me. If she’s a dutiful daughter, she should be visiting her dad more, not plotting against me to make herself feel better. Why the hell should I take the fall for her dad’s mistake? That’s just absurd.

“Ms. Evadne, I’ve checked, other than our team, all the workers surrendered their phones during construction. There was no chance for any outsider to get near the wedding venue,” Jason reported.

“So, it’s confirmed. Someone in our team is in cahoots with her.”

Evadne, noticing Caroline’s attractive look, had a daring idea. “Jason, from now on, keep a close eye on everyone on the team, especially the men. Monitor them around the clock. If anyone has private contact with Caroline, report to me immediately

“Ms. Evadne, why focus on the men?” Arnold asked, puzzled.

“Because men can easily lose themselves over a pretty face!” Evadne sneered, her unsuccessful marriage giving her a biased view of men.

Cassius said, “I assume I’m not included.”

Arnold added, “I assume I’m not included either!

Jason quickly made his stance clear, “Same here!”

“Relax, I know you guys are good. No need to prove yourselves so eagerly.”

Evadne stretched like a graceful cat, “You’re all way better than that guy standing at the door, right?”

It was late after the investigation. Cassius and Arnold stayed in the guest rooms arranged by Jason.

Evadne was exhausted too. She took a bath and hit the sack right away.

In the middle of the night, a clap of thunder shattered the silence, waking Evadne from her deep sleep.

Usually, she was a sound sleeper, but for some reason, the thunder woke her up.

Then she couldn’t fall back asleep.

Evadne got up and slipped on a silk robe over her burgundy silk nightgown. She put on her red velvet slippers and went to get some water.

Outside the window, it was storming, lightning flashing and thunder booming

Evadne stood by the window in the corridor, holding her glass of water, quietly watching the storm outside.

She remembered when she was a kid, every time it stormed, her mom would hold her, sitting in the rocking chair by the window, silently staring at the rain-soaked glass, mumbling.

“The night I left that place, it was storming too.”

What place was the talking about?

Suddenly, a thunderclap exploded in the night sky!

In the brief flash of lightning, Evadne was surprised to see, outside the window, someone was standing at the front door of the villa.

Thaddeus was standing in the rain, unmoving, his hair messily blown by the wind, looking up at her window.
