His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 895

Jason tried to push aside his longing for his darling wife and got back to work:

"Ever since we hit up Boston, Wayne hasn't even been home. He's essentially living at the office. Sends his guys out for groceries and everything. It's like he's cut off from the world."

Evadne's eyes darkened thoughtfully, "He hasn't even visited his wife?"

"Not once."

Jason frowned in disbelief, "The more I think about it, the weirder it gets."

Evadne twirled her pen, her gaze unreadable, "Not weird at all. Wayne's sharp. He knows he's in dangerous waters. Any wrong move could be fatal."

Jason gasped, "President Ashbourne, you mean?"

"Snakey Avery might be laying a trap for him as we speak."

Evadne's grip on her pen tightened, whitening her knuckles, "Perhaps he already tried once, but Wayne dodged it. That's why he's on high alert, staying behind closed doors.

And there's no safer place than the police station. Even Avery, with all his cunning, wouldn't dare strike there. That'd be walking right into a lion's den."

Jason's heart clenched, "President Ashbourne, we can't let anything happen to Wayne. He's our key to taking down Avery! It sounds like Avery's out for blood."

"But if he just hides out, Avery can't touch him, and we can't get to Avery either."

Evadne interlaced her fingers, resting her chin thoughtfully on them, her gaze deepening, "So, we need Wayne to step out from behind those police station doors."

Jason scratched his head, confused, "But President Ashbourne, wouldn't that just give Snakey Avery his chance?"

"I'm on the same playing field as he is. If he sees an opportunity, so do I."

Evadne's eyes warmed, a smile playing at the corners, "Besides, I trust Thaddeus. Even the slightest chance, he'll seize it firmly."

Right on cue, Thaddeus called.

"Thaddeus, how's it going? Made it to Azeroth City?" Evadne's voice was tender, like a gentle breeze.

"Evadne, I'm here, heading to the meeting now."

Thaddeus sounded rushed, "Murray called, said Grandpa's been off since returning from Boston. Hasn't eaten all day. Can you take him to the hospital?"

"Thaddeus, what's with that tone!"

Evadne's eyes widened in mock outrage, "He's your grandpa, doesn't that make him mine too? Taking care of him is only natural. Why the formality?"

"Evadne, you've been running on fumes for days, and with you holding down the fort at KS Group, I just didn't want to overburden you." Thaddeus chuckled helplessly, always soft when it came to his wife.

"I'm not tired. For family, I've got endless energy."

Evadne sighed softly, her voice smooth as silk, "Alright, I'll take Grandpa to the hospital right away. Focus on your work; leave home to me."

Jason quickly arranged the car, and they sped off to Elmsworth.

Picking up Grandpa and Mr. Murray from Havenbrook, they headed to the hospital.

In the VIP ward,

Hamilton, looking pale with an IV drip, rested against the bed as Evadene sat beside him, helping him drink water.

"Ilana. I can't thank you enough for coming from Skyrim to be here." Hamilton's eyes were teary, deeply moved.

"Grandpa, it's no trouble at all. I was planning to visit anyway."

Evadne's eyes shone with a clear softness, gently comforting, "I talked to the doctor. You're just a bit under the weather from the travel and not being used to the food here. It's nothing serious, don't worry."

"Ah, I'm just an old man now, not much use."

"Ah, your big brother sure knows how to make an entrance, more creative than my granddaughter's wedding," Grandpa mused, smacking his lips thoughtfully.

Evadne nearly burst into laughter.

After Grandpa fell asleep, Evadne quietly left the hospital room, letting Mr. Murray take over.

Feeling hungry, she was about to head down to the cafeteria when Jason approached her with a serious look.

"President Ashbourne, guess who I just saw?"

"Who? It can't be Snakey Avery, can it? We can't be that unlucky," Evadne said casually, chugging her bottled water.

Jason's expression darkened, "It actually is."

Evadne spat out her water in shock, her face turning beet red.

Jason wished he could pat her on the back for comfort, but he had to maintain his composure, so he handed her a tissue instead:

"But I didn't see Avery himself, just bumped into his secretary heading towards the VIP wards."

"Harvey?" Evadne dabbed her lips, her gaze turning sharp.

"Yeah, that little weasel."

Jason clenched his teeth in anger, "He's always with Avery, like they're joined at the hip. If he's here, Avery can't be far.

I sneaked a peek and wondered if Snakey Avery caught something like HIV or syphilis and doesn't want anyone to know. The Chambers Group's security has locked down the south wing so tight, not even a fly could get in."

Evadne listened, then thrust the water bottle into his arms, her eyes flashing with a cold determination:

"Is that so? Well then, it's time for an old 'friend' to pay a visit to the patient."
