His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1174

“You’re out safely?” Chad’s voice was light and detached.

“Sir, my apologies for causing you trouble. Thank you for making the arrangements.”

“I just pulled a few strings. It was nothing. Besides, I anticipated you would be summoned. After all, Thaddeus got the medicine from you.”

Alexia, still shaken, said in a hushed, dark tone, “That detective, Logan… is he one of ours? He seemed so eager to arrest Thaddeus, I thought you had recruited him. But when he interrogated me, he was relentless, refusing to let up.”

“He works for Chief Roderick. That connection is all we need.”

After a moment of thought, Alexia lowered her voice. “Sir, a simple drug charge, especially for a first-time offense, won’t be enough to do any real damage. He’ll probably be out on bail in a day or two.”

Chad chuckled softly. “And?”

“It’s such a shame we couldn’t deliver a knockout blow, one that would keep him down for good!” Alexia said, gritting her teeth.

“Thaddeus has our grandfather’s support, not to mention the Ashbourne family behind him. He’s been entrenched in Elmsworth for years. He is a formidable opponent.” Chad’s voice held a muffled laugh, but it was chilling. “For now, I am simply taking back what is rightfully mine. Everything else can be dealt with in due time.”

Alexia knew exactly what he meant by “his things.” It was everything Thaddeus possessed.
