His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1280

Chad lowered his long lashes, his gaze sweeping coldly over the screen.

On a drone feed overlooking Serpentine Pass, a black sedan was speeding aggressively along the winding mountain roads.

Alexia's eyes narrowed maliciously. "This car has been circling The Genesis Lab for a while. At one point, it nearly breached the core perimeter. Whoever is driving is definitely up to no good.

I wonder if it's Thaddeus Abernathy's people, or someone Evadne sent? But our lab's location doesn't even exist on GPS. How could a random vehicle just suddenly show up? Could someone inside the lab be feeding information to the outside?"

It was entirely obvious who she was accusing.

Chad's smile froze slightly. His already pale face took on the chilling aura of a frost-covered moon.

"And who exactly do you think is selling us out?"

Alexia hesitated. "Well..."

"Do you think it's Hans?" Chad looked at her, his expression unreadable. "Do you think he's already betraying me in secret?"

"I... don't have proof."

Alexia shook her head, looking genuinely worried. "But you know as well as I do, Hans is Hubery Ashbourne. At the end of the day, he's an Ashbourne. He has their blood in his veins. No matter how loyal he acts, if those suppressants ever fail, his memories will wake up, and then..."

"Then we just make sure he never wakes up. I need him right now. Hans is incredibly valuable to me."

Chad tapped his long fingers against the tablet screen. "Have you run the plates?"

Right on cue, Alexia's phone rang. She answered it immediately, and her face instantly darkened.

"Sir, we got a hit. The car is registered to the Bright Group!"

"Oh?" Chad raised a brow, suddenly highly entertained.

Alexia gritted her teeth in sheer hatred. "The person tracking us... it's probably Emeric Ashbourne's second wife. Hans's biological mother."

Chad let out a light, breathy chuckle. "A mother's love truly knows no bounds. She must have figured out that Hans is her long-lost, 'dead' son."

"He's here... I'm positive!" Suri practically bore a hole into the glowing dot on her screen. Her red-rimmed eyes welled with fresh tears.

The other bodyguard couldn't help but ask, "Ma'am, who exactly are we looking for? You didn't have to come out here yourself. You could have just sent us."

"He is... someone incredibly important to me," Suri took a deep, shaky breath, her trembling hands clutching her jacket.

At that exact moment, deep inside the mountain.

Inside the security room of The Genesis Lab, the floor supervisor pulled Hans over to the monitors.

"Boss, look at this. This car keeps circling our perimeter. Its route is highly suspicious."

Hans stared at the zoomed-in image of the black sedan with razor-sharp eyes. His face was a mask of cold indifference. "Did you run the plates?"

"We did. It belongs to the Bright Group."

Hans's dark pupils violently shrank. His fists clenched so hard his knuckles popped.
