His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 139

Cassius was staring at Evadne, his eyes deep and mysterious.

His sister was a pro at seizing opportunities. She never played by the rules, and she was always ready to break them.

Given a slim chance, she could turn the tables, create bigger gains, and catch her opponents off-guard.

George's face changed. He hadn't expected Evadne to ask him that.

"From the look on your face, you must know something," Evadne said coldly, a smirk playing on her lips.

"I know." George swallowed hard, stuttering, "Because the child is mine..."

The Ashbourne siblings were taken aback.

Evadne's hand clenched excitedly. This storm had brought her great benefits.

"What happened exactly? Tell me." Cassius demanded in a frosty voice.

"I used to be a personal trainer at a high-end gym overseas. That's where I met Acacia and we grew closer. She was a real seductress, and we ended up together."

Evadne's eyes were full of curiosity, "Go on."

"But we never made it official, it was a casual thing. Acacia was never short of guys. I was just one of them. One time, we took some stuff, and she let loose. I didn't take precautions, and she took the morning-after pill, but those things aren't 100% safe. She found out she was pregnant not long after."

Evadne blinked, so Acacia was into drugs. That was a surprise.

"Given Acacia's character, she wouldn't have wanted to keep the child. How come she did?"

"She said her health was fragile, that if she had an abortion, she wouldn't be able to have kids anymore. She said no rich family would accept a barren daughter-in-law, so she had to tough it out and have the baby."

George couldn't resist a jab at Acacia, "She was very skilled in bed. You couldn't tell she was weak."

That was a sore spot for Evadne. But she quickly composed herself, asking calmly, "Where's the child now?"

"I only know she's in an orphanage overseas. She should be two or three years old now. That's a little girl. that's all I know."

George wasn't hiding anything, but he was so selfish that he had never visited his own daughter. That was all the information he had.

"You people being parents is an insult to all parents." Cassius couldn't contain his anger, "That's your child. You just threw her away like garbage, out of sight, out of mind?"

"I didn't completely ignore her. I heard that Acacia's mother has been keeping tabs on my daughter. My child was taken away as soon as she was born! That woman must know where my daughter is!" George couldn't stand the pressure and spilled some more information.

Evadne's bright eyes twinkled. She had an idea. Then she turned to her brother.

They shared an understanding look, knowing what the other was thinking without exchanging a word.

Just then, the basement door opened and a bodyguard walked in briskly with George's phone.

"Miss, you have a call."

Evadne took the phone. Looking at the screen, she asked coldly, "Ahley, who is it?"

George shivered, swallowing nervously, "It's Acacia."

"Answer it. You talk to her."

Evadne held out the phone to him, her eyes icy, "Don't try to deceive. Don't misspeak. Act normal, and don't alert her."

George nodded quickly.

After answering the call, he said, "Hello, Ahley. What do you need at this hour? Did you miss me?"

"Cut the crap." Acacia paused, then asked in a low voice, "You haven't been causing any trouble for me lately, have you? I told you not to act without my say-so. You didn't go off on your own, did you?"

George had no choice but to lie, "No, of course not. I wouldn't do anything without your say-so."

Evadne lowered her long lashes, a cold smile playing on her lips.
