His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1294

Thaddeus could subtly sense the changes in his own body, but he had no time to focus on himself. His expression shifted back to its usual calm, disciplined state.

"It's time to put the Abernathy Group R&D Department's latest drones to use. Have a team deploy them, activate the signal jammers, and sweep the mountains immediately to lock down the general location of that secret facility. The new drones are compact and equipped with the SSS-Grade Chip. Their search capabilities are unmatched in the current market. If we can pinpoint the exact coordinates, it'll make backing up Hans and rescuing Elsie tomorrow night significantly easier."

"Understood, Boss. I'll get on it right away!"

Gordon peeked anxiously toward the hospital room. "Mr. Thaddeus, how is Ms. Evadne doing?"

"She's... fine." Thaddeus pressed his slightly swollen lips together.

Catching the subtle, intimate shift in his boss's demeanor, Gordon felt a surge of joy, though he maintained a serious expression.

"Mr. Thaddeus, the moment you heard Mrs. Abernathy was in trouble, you dropped everything and rushed to the hospital. Admit it. You still care deeply for her! She's always been the most important person in your life!"

"I know why she did what she did," Thaddeus said abruptly, a dark cloud settling over his eyes.

Gordon looked utterly confused. "Sir? What do you mean?"

"Her reason for getting close to Chad."

Thaddeus closed his reddened eyes, suppressing the overwhelming emotions threatening to burst from his chest, the veins on his forehead bulging. "Because I understand exactly what she's planning, I can't be selfish anymore. I can't keep getting close to her."

Gordon was massively disappointed. "Why not?!"

"I am a thorn in Chad's side. I am the one person he desperately wants to erase from this world. He hasn't made a move against me yet simply because the timing isn't right. He's biding his time."

Thaddeus lowered his lashes, concealing the turbulent emotions in his gaze. "If he finds out I'm getting close to her, he will stop at nothing to strike at me in the most brutal way possible. I'm not afraid of trouble, and I'm certainly not afraid of death. I'm just terrified that..."

A sharp pain pierced his chest, cutting off his words.

He was terrified that the crossfire aimed at him would hit Evadne, completely ruining her plan. She had worked so hard to infiltrate Chad's circle and earn his trust. He absolutely refused to be the unpredictable variable that destroyed everything she had built.

Understanding dawned on Gordon. He let out a helpless sigh but refused to drop the subject entirely.

"If—and I mean if—none of these obstacles existed, Mr. Thaddeus, ask yourself honestly: do you love Mrs. Abernathy? Do you want to spend the rest of your life with her?"
