His Ex wife is a billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) Novel Full Episode
His Ex wife is a billionaire Chapter 481
Chapter 481
“President Ashbourne.”
Thaddeus’s voice was as raspy as if a steamroller had passed over his throat, barely audible.
“Thaddeus!”
Cassius glared with bloodshot eyes, his chest ablaze with fury, like a wild beast charging straight at Thaddeus, who stood frozen in place!
Thaddeus saw the fierce blow aimed at his cheek coming; but he didn’t move a muscle. Hit him, that what he deserved. Even if Cassius beat him to death, he wouldn’t utter a word of complaint.
“Cassius! Stop!”
Just as Cassius’s fist was inches away from the man’s face, Chasel appeared in the nick of time, throwing his arms around him from behind in a tight embrace!
“Let go,” Cassius hissed, his l*ps bleeding, his heart dripping blood.
“I won’t!”
Chasel’s arms trembled around his sturdy waist as he shouted breathlessly, “What’s the point of hitting him?! Will beating him bring back what Evadne has lost?!”
“But he deserves to die!”
Cassius’s cheeks shivered with rage, his powerful b*dy struggling fiercely, tears that had been held back now escaping uncontrollably, “Why doesn’t he just die? My sister can’t have children anymore! She’s only twenty–five and she’s lost the chance to be a mother forever! It’s all thanks to you, Thaddeus, why don’t you just die?!”
Why didn’t he just die? Yes, he truly deserved death.
Thaddeus felt like a clay doll, drained of blood and spirit, his features defeated and ashen.
Chasel noticed how wretched he looked. Thaddeus’s short hair was dripping wet, droplets tracing down his pale, once handsome
cheeks.
His finely tailored suit was soaked through, the hem of his trousers and his shoes caked in mud. It was a sorry sight.
It had started raining when Evadne was taken away by her father. Thaddeus had chased after the Ashbourne family’s car in the pouring rain for miles, yet in the end, he hadn’t even caught a glimpse of Evadne.
“I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, all my fault.”
He muttered over and over, a lost soul, “All my fault.I am to blame. I’m sorry.”

“Thaddeus, do you have any idea how much Evadne loves children. How much she wanted to have a kid with you?!”
told
Cassius, a towering figure of a man, wept uncontrollably, “During those three years as your wife, she told us countless times, she wanted to be a mother. And sometimes, remembering your marriage in name only, your indifference, she’d call me in the middle of the night, crying secretly.”
Thaddeus felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if it was being tortured by a poisoned blade, the agony spreading rapidly through his limbs, seizing his entire consciousness.
Tears rimmed his eyes, his shoulders shaking violently. All he could feel was pain, bone–deep, earth–shattering. Unbearable pain.
“I didn’t know. I truly didn’t know.”
Thaddeus’s eyes brimmed with tears, his l*ps pale as he stammered, “If I had known, I…”
“You didn’t know?”
Cassius laughed bitterly in extreme anger, “You didn’t know about your one– night stand with Evadne; you didn’t know she was pregnant with your child. Are you joking, or are you truly that clueless? But regardless of which it is, I can no longer forgive you. If I had left Evadne in the hands of a heartless man like you, I would not deserve to be even called a man!”
Chasel was petrified and sighed helplessly upon hearing this. He had been back in the country for a while and had been through many harrowing experiences with them, well aware of how much Thaddeus loved Evadne.
But that fruitless marriage of three years had wounded Evadne too deeply.
If he were in that position, even if he still loved the man, he probably couldn’t bear the daily reminder of inability to bear children, that self–infiicted torment
eroding the happiness of love day by day.
Such a star–crossed couple, such an insoluble dilemma.
But fearing things would deteriorate further, Chasel could only plead, “Cassius, no matter what, Thaddeus is still the man who saved
Evadne’s and your lives. If it weren’t for his sacrifice, how could you have possibly returned alive? I’d never see you again! You’d cause more pain! Including to Evadne!”
Cassius’s eyes were still red and swollen, but he slowly lowered his fist.
“Thaddeus, you did save my life, so I’ll spare you. But from now on, don’t ever appear before me, and don’t step back into Evadne’s life. I can forgive all the past hurt you’ve caused her, except for this one. I just can’t get past it, not even in death.”
With that, Cassius bit his l*p and walked away. Chasel cast a silent glance at the bloodless Thaddeus and reluctantly followed Cassius.
‘Please give me one last chance to make amends!”
Thaddeus’s cheeks were streaked with tears, as pitiful as Evadne had been when begging him not to divorce, perhaps even more so, “I truly love Evadne very much. Please give me one chance, the last one! Let me atone; let me make amends!”
“Sure.”
Cassius’s voice was cold, his laugh frosty, cruelly smashing the hope he had given, “Return to me a sister with an unharmed b*dy, a healthy womb. Then I’ll no longer stand in your way.”
Thaddeus couldn’t remember how he made it out of the parking lot.
The severe headache that had long been absent came roaring back, a buzzing noise in his ears as if countless demons were jeering and mocking his
foolishness, “Thaddeus, you deserve this day; you truly do! You deserve to die!”
“Thad!”
Jareth called out to him countless times from behind, but Thaddeus heard nothing, standing in the rain like a zombie.
Suddenly, the headache intensified, and Thaddeus’s b*dy swayed! The rain– washed world in front of him blurred and distorted, as if time and space were in disarray.
If it wasn’t for Jareth’s timely dash to his side to catch him, he might have taken a nasty spill right into the puddle before them! “Thad! Hang in there!”
Jareth wrapped his trembling b*dy in a tight embrace, his eyes filled with urgent concern, “You can’t give up on Evadne, and you certainly can’t just throw in the towel! Can’t you see? Evadne still loves you deeply. Since you love her too, you’ve got to buck up and face all the hardships head–on!”
“Her b*dy’s ruined because of me. Jareth, what do I do?”
Thaddeus’s handsome, pallid face was a portrait of despair, “What can I do? How can I make up fof…for everything she’s lost?” “There’s got to be a way! With modern medicine advancing so fast, there’s hardly a disease money can’t tackle. Even for terminal illnesses, enough cash can buy years more of life! Let’s
brainstorm together, Evadne’s health can surely be restored! But if you give up on her, then you’re really hurting her, and it’s really over!” Jareth shouted over the drumming of the rain.
Thaddeus clasped his hands over his head, gasping in agony, “Back then, I told Evadne I wanted kids, that I wanted to start a family with her. If I had known. If I had known it would come to this, why did I even bring up kids? What does it matter if we never have children?! How could I be so selfish!”
Jareth’s own heart was heavy, and he shook his head in distress.
Evadne had decided to drop all her psychological burdens and love Thaddeus anew, which was already a courageous act under immense pressure. Yet, every time Thaddeus mentioned kids, her heart must have still ached in silence.
“Thad, I think what you need to do now is uncover exactly what happened back then, the full story behind Evadne’s miscarriage. Only then can we come up with a plan, a targeted solution!”
Thaddeus pulled at his hair, trying hard to recall everything.
The medical reports said that Evadne had been two months pregnant when she lost the child. So, what exactly happened two months after they were together?
‘Mr. Thaddeus Abernathy!”
Gordon, breathless and soaked from the rain, ran over with a look of grave concern, “Mr. Hamilton Abernathy can’t reach you, he got Mr. Murray to contact me. Mr. Hamilton Abernathy knows about the incident at the banquet; he’s asking you to come to Havenbrook Villa immediately!”
The revelation of Evadne’s infertility by Edith at the banquet of William and his son spread like wildfire that very night.
Due to the high level of security, there was no media at the banquet, and the guests, respectful of the pressure from both the Ashbourne Group and the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
Fairhaven Group, dared not leak any recordings to the press or post them online.
Getting caught by the Ashbourne family or Fairhaven family would mean the end of their lives. After all, it was easy to track down the guests present. But no secret can be kept forever – the news had a way of getting out.
Hamilton was sitting at home when he heard the news at the banquet, almost suffering a heart attack from the shock. Mr. Murray,
terrified, had immediately summoned the private doctor to the house, ready for an emergency.
“Ilana! My poor llana!”
Learning that Evadne had once been pregnant with the Abernathy family’s child, Hamilton was both stunned and heartbroken, tears streaming down his face, “Silly girl! Such an important matter as pregnancy, how could you handle it so carelessly! The kid is gone, which is bad enough, but if your health is ruined, oh, my llana, why must your life be so hard!”
Mr. Murray, patting Hamilton’s heaving back, felt as if his heart was being scorched. The image of Evadne bleeding and begging him to keep her secret was vivid in his mind, and even now, it pained him deeply.
Mr. Murray, deep in thought and taking a deep breath as if to speak, was cut off by Frederic who burst out, “Dad, your health isn’t good; you mustn’t get too worked up!”
“How can I not be worked up?! Ilana was pregnant with Thaddeus’s child, the Abernathy bloodline! A living child just gone without explanation. How can I not be heartbroken, not feel guilty?!”
In the midst of Hamilton’s grief, Thaddeus walked in, his steps heavy and defeated.
“Grandpa Hamilton.”
“Thaddeus, where’s Ilana? Did Emeric take her home?” Hamilton asked eagerly.
Thaddeus nodded heavily, too choked up to speak.
“How could you be so careless, so foolish?!”
Hamilton slammed his hand on the coffee table, wishing he could smack some sense into his disappointing grandson, “Ilana is your wife! You didn’t even know she was pregnant? When did you become so inattentive?!”
“Dad, please don’t blame Thaddeus. What’s done is done, and your scolding isn’t helping.” Frederic’s eyelids were lowered, his face the picture of indifference, “Besides, you knew Thaddeus didn’t love Evadne back then, yet you insisted on matchmaking, driving him away from home. How could he have cared about anything else? Evadne got pregnant and didn’t say a word, and she kept the miscarriage a secret too. I bet she didn’t even know about the pregnancy herself back then. We shouldn’t take the blame for this. It’s her own lack of experience and carelessness that led to this mess, embarrassing both families.”
A surge of fury blazed through Thaddeus, his muscles tensed under his damp suit, his veins popping with rage.
Pale l*ps moving, he was about to speak, but Hamilton, in a sudden burst of anger, grabbed a teacup from the table and hurled it at Frederic!
“Ugh!”
Frederic felt a sharp pain on his forehead, his vision went dark, and he stumbled backward. The teacup hit him squarely in the forehead, instantly raising a lump the size of its rim, red and bleeding.
“Dad!”
“Damn you, you cold–hearted bastard! Ilana’s baby is gone, and you couldn’t care less, but to try and pin the blame on her, a woman already down on her luck. Are you even a man?!”
Hamilton was livid, his face drained of color, “Before, I thought maybe you were just led astray by Elspeth, that venomous witch, that she had you under some kind of spell! But now, it’s clear as day. Birds of a feather fiock together, don’t they? You’re both cut from the same rotten cloth! Not a decent bone between you!”
