His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 104

Evadne was standing in an eerily silent living room.

She flipped on the lights with great care, her voice anxious and hoarse, "Cassius? Cassius, where are you?"

Some noises faintly came from the bedroom.

Evadne's heart started pounding as she moved towards the room, calling, "Cassius! What's wrong? Are you feeling ill?!"

"Evadne, don't come in!" Cassius's trembling voice came through. His breath was ragged and uneven.

"Cassius! What the hell was going on? Don't freak me out!"

Evadne's face turned pale instantly. She's about to barge in when the door suddenly swung open with a loud bang.

Cassius was soaking wet in the dim light, as if he's just been pulled out of the sea, his handsome face flushed like a tomato.

He's removed his coat, leaving only a drenched white shirt clinging to his strong body. The shirt's collar was open wide, revealing skin that's also abnormally red as if his blood was boiling.

"Cassius?"

"I've been drugged." Cassius's eyes were gradually becoming blurry. He's struggling to see Evadne clearly, "I took a cold shower, soaked myself in cold water, but this drug is too strong. All the efforts I did was not working at all!"

"What the fuck?!" Evadne was filled with anger but mostly panic.

She's a skilled doctor, even capable of performing complex brain surgeries, but she's completely at a loss in the face of a man drugged into a stupor, a man who's her brother!

"Evadne, this is a trap, get out of the room, lock the door. I can handle this!" Cassius's breathing was getting heavier, his eyes bloodshot.

His gazed fell on Evadne's exposed arm.

He's terrified by the uncontrollable desire he's feeling.

This can't go on or something terrible was going to happen!

"Cassius! I can't just leave you like this! I'll take you out, and we're going to the hospital right away!"

Evadne had never seen Cassius in such agony, and she's on the verge of tears!

She's about to rush over to support him when she heard a loud crash.

Cassius had just punched a vase by the door, shattering it!

He then picked up a sharp shard of the vase, holding it tightly in his hand. Blood seeped through his fingers, but he held on to the shard as if punishing himself.

"Cassius!" Evadne's heart was aching, tears welling up in her eyes.

She knew Cassius was on the verge of collapsing.

He's hurting himself to protect her!

"Evadne, please, just go!" Cassius's eyes were filled with lust, and he roared, "Go!"

The banquet hall was bustling with activity.

Emeric was up front, laughing and chatting with Hamiltion, deterring anyone who tried to approach them.

Mainly because Chairman Emeric's aura was just too intimidating, like a king.

To avoid becoming laughingstock, the lesser-known figures dared not make themselves apparent.

After a few sips of wine, Hamiltion was in high spirits and called his children over to join them.

Mr. Murray invited over Thaddeusand to sit with Emeric.

"Emeric, what do you think of Thaddeus?" Hamiltion looked extremely pleased as he smiled at Emeric.

Emeric also responded with a smile, "Mr. Frederic is certainly very talented. Each generation outdoes the last."

Frederic coughed, wondering how Emeric built such a large enterprise with such low emotional intelligence.

Thaddeus was Frederic's son. Emeric should be praising his genetics, not saying his son outperformed him.

"Haha. Thaddeus is nothing compared to me when I was young! I had far more taste and vision!" Hamiltion said, "But he does have one good quality, a kind heart. His flaw, though, is his stubbornness. He never listens to my advice."

Hamiltion looked very disappointed.

Thaddeus remained silent, sipping his coffee with a poker face.

"Thaddeus wasn't as bad as you make him out to be. As the company's president, everyone can see his achievements. Among the younger generation, Thaddeus was doing the best." Frederic defended Thaddeus.

He's also defending his own pride. After all, he can't appear weak in front of a competitor.
