His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 136

When Evadne got back to her private villa, it was already the crack of dawn.

Nydia had been worried sick about her sister, staying up all night. Her eyes were red and swollen, and it looked miserable.

"Nydia, don't beat yourself up. I'm fine. Don't you have classes tomorrow morning? Get some sleep." Evadne sat next to Nydia, giving her a hug.

"Evadne, am I useless? You've always protected me when we were little, but now that I'm grown up, I can't do anything." Nydia pouted, her eyes brimming with tears.

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about?" Evadne gently knocked on her head. "Because of you and Myra, our home is filled with harmony. You're the baby sister that we all adore. You are like our own little mascot. If you really want to do something for me, then go and chase your dreams. When you make it big in the entertainment industry, I'm going to have you endorse my products. That way, I can save some money. Sounds good, right?"

"Evadne, I believe in myself. I'll definitely make it!" Nydia wiped her tears, nodding fervently.

After a quick wash, Nydia fell asleep almost instantly as soon as she hit the pillow.

Evadne tucked her in before leaving the room.

In the study, Jason was already waiting for her.

"Tonight, Acacia was sent to the hospital for some reason. Have you found out?" Evadne's eyes turned cold as she asked, sitting on the sofa.

"We found out. Acacia attempted suicide. She slit her wrists but was saved in time. She's out of danger now." Jason paused, a glint of coldness in his eyes, "and Thaddeus has been by her side the whole time."

"Well, that's a no-brainer. Acacia almost killed herself for him. Even if he's a corpse, he'd have to stick by Acacia's bedside." Evadne said carelessly, not bothered at all.

"Ms. Evadne, what is your take on this Acacia situation?"

"Acacia attempting suicide has got to be the funniest joke I've heard all year."

Evadne leaned back on the sofa, rubbing her temples. "She hasn't even become the CEO's wife yet, and she hasn't killed me off yet. How could she bear to die? Also, those who truly want to die wouldn't be found, otherwise, it'd be pretty embarrassing if they fail."

"So, you're suggesting that Acacia is trying to pressure Thaddeus?"

Jason frowned in confusion, "But why? Isn't she about to marry Thaddeus? Could it be... Thaddeus doesn't want to marry her anymore? So she's threatening him with suicide."

Evadne felt a pang of unease, "Who knows. Maybe he's engaged to one woman but has his eyes on another. I've already been dumped. Maybe Acacia would be his next target. Thaddeus is a playboy after all. It wouldn't surprise me who he ditches next."

"That makes sense, but I still hope they can get married smoothly and live their lives without hurting others!"

Jason ground his teeth in anger, then asked, "Ms. Evadne, who do you think sent the man who had a beef with you tonight? Could it be Elspeth? She's still being detained by Mr. Thaddeus. She wouldn't have time for this."

"He's a foreigner." Evadne's eyes darkened, "He's a fighter, and he's very agile. He's like an underground boxer. Although he doesn't have a fixed style, his attacks are very practical. Elspeth doesn't have the time, and Glynnis wouldn't know such people. Only Acacia fits the bill. She's lived abroad for three years and her social circles are complex. She's had close relationships with many men. It wouldn't surprise me if she's got a few simple-minded, strong-bodied men doing her bidding."

Jason was taken aback, finding Ms. Evadne's analysis quite convincing.

"As for why that man had a grudge against me, guessing here won't get us anywhere. We'll just ask him tomorrow and we'll know."

Evadne suddenly leaned forward, "Oh right, you didn't let anything slip to Cassius, did you?"

Jason sighed helplessly, "Ms. Evadne, I wouldn't dare disobey your orders. I didn't reveal anything to President Ashbourne."

Evadne breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Just as she finished her sentence, her phone started ringing.

The name "Cassius" on the screen made Evadne's heart race.

She quickly grabbed her phone, but she didn't answer.

Then, Jason's phone rang, but he had to answer!

"President Ashbourne, what can I help you with?" He tried to keep his voice steady.

"Put Evadne on the phone."

Jason didn't put the call on speaker, but Cassius's voice was so deep it echoed, making Evadne's heart pound!

"Ms. Evadne has already gone to bed, President Ashbourne."
