His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 994

Thaddeus and Elvis, once you land on the island, hold off on making any moves. Take a look around, see if Evadne is truly there, and keep us in the loop. We’ll be joining you in stages to provide backup.”

The president spoke with a calm, steady rationality that was beyond the reach of ordinary men.

Indeed, Thaddeus had already considered what Darcy had mentioned, which is why he intended to stealthily make his way to the island alone, to search for Evadne.

He feared that causing a commotion might alert Avery, and he dreaded the thought of that madman harming Evadne.

“Thaddeus, Elvis, get ready. We’re heading out to sea.”

Cassius, his throat tight with emotion, stepped forward for a hug, embracing his brother and then him, “But promise us, you’ll come back safe!”

For Evadne, the past five days were akin to an earthly hell.

Unable to eat or drink, she became a gaunt, hauntingly beautiful figure, lying weakly on her bed. Her shoulder blades trembled delicately, like the wings of a butterfly poised for flight.

She was pitiful yet also heartbreakingly beautiful.

She wished she could always be cherished, without ever worrying about leaving.

Throughout these days, Evadne was on edge, daring only to nap lightly, afraid to fall into a deep sleep. She feared Avery might touch her.

So far, he had only held her, kissed her. But who could guarantee that the deranged lunatic wouldn’t suddenly decide to claim her?

In the early hours, under a dark and stormy sky, Avery injected himself with adrenaline in his study before dragging his weary body out.

Seeing Hans standing in the dim corridor, Avery stiffened, fighting the taste of blood that rose to his throat.

“Do you need something?”

“Your wedding’s off.”

Hans’s gaze was cold as he looked at Avery’s pallid face, “Someone sent word, your ROSE Island coordinates have been leaked. Ms. Evadne’s family and Thaddeus are likely on their way here.

Sir has ordered me to take Ms. Evadne away from here.”

Avery had never thought he could keep Evadne on the island forever.

He hoped, at least, they could spend his last days together. But he hadn’t anticipated Thaddeus and the others would find them so quickly.

Grinding his teeth in frustration, he swallowed his anger, “When?”

“The sooner, the better.”

“Just... Evadne?”
