His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 721

Chapter 721 

Marilla’s phone was confiscated, and she was “invited” into the car. 

A cold sweat soaked her trembling back; her slender, fragile frame curled pathetically next to Hans, her hands clutching a teddy bear, shaking uncontrollably. 

Facing unknown dangers, she did not cry, make a fuss, or beg Hans to let her go. She sat quietly like a pretty doll at the mercy of others, which only made it harder to bear the thought of causing her too much pain. 

Before leaving the mansion, Hans casually grabbed a couple of apples. He took a bite from one and then offered the other to the girl. 

“Want some?” He asked. 

Marilla slowly lifted her pale face, her soft lips tinged with white, delicate beads of sweat making her hair stick to her cheeks, her voice faint and weak, “Are you really sent by the Fairhaven group’s people to pick me up?” 

Hans remained silent, taking the apple back. 

“Are you going to kill me?” 

Hans crunched into his apple. 

“If your target is me, please don’t hurt Lily.” 

Determination shimmered in Marilla’s eyes; the thought of saving Lily dispelled the crippling fear that felt like the sky was falling, “As long as Lily is safe, I won’t run. Even if it costs my life to exchange for Lily’s!” 

Hans glanced at her with his sharp, thin lips slightly pressed. At that moment, his phone vibrated in his palm. 

He quickly glanced at the screen and then answered it, his voice ice–cold yet respectful. 

“Sir.” 

“Did you get the girl?” 

Marilla’s ears perked up, sensing a familiar tone in the barely audible voice. Before she could lean in to listen more carefully, Hans alertly switched the phone to his other ear, and she could no longer hear anything. 

Hans confirmed, “Yes.” 

“Did Avery tell you to kill her?” 

“No, he told me to bring her over.” 

A chuckle came from the other end, “Heh, when it comes to breaking hearts and taking lives, no one can match Mr. Chambers.” 

Hans’s expression remained impassive, “If there’s no need for action, then can I return once I’ve delivered her?” 

“No, cooperate fully with Mr. Chambers. Whatever he tells you to do, you do it.” 

Hans responded coolly, “Alright.” 

To Marilla’s utter shock, she was taken to the Fairhaven Group! Her emotions were a tumultuous mix of anxiety and complexity because she knew Jareth was also there! 

Along the way, Hans led her through a maze of turns, encountering no one, obviously, someone had arranged their path to bring her in undetected. 

After what seemed like an eternity, Hans forced her to stop in front of a plain white wall. 

Then, he knocked five times on a panel. The wall cracked open, sliding aside to reveal a hidden room. 

This room was known only to Barry. Because he had made countless enemies in both the underworld and lawful society in his quest to expand his territory, he had designed this hidden safe room within the Fairhaven Group premises, not far from his office, for his own safety. 

And the mastermind behind the scenes had hidden Jareth’s precious girl right here. A classic case of hiding in plain sight, indeed! “Go in,” Hans said coldly. 

Marilla stared into the pitch–black room, her pupils constricting, hesitant to move. 

Suddenly, she felt an emptiness in her arms! Hans had snatched the teddy bear from her and pushed her frail body into the 

darkness!
