His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 4

Five days later, Thaddeus called over his secretary - Gordon, after the morning meeting.

"Any knews about Ilana?"-

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the Elmsworth scenery, Thaddeus' tall figure cast a strong oppressive atmosphere.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Thaddeus. Nothing so far."

Gordon looked nervous, wiping the sweat off his forehead, "And, she didn't return to the nursing home where she used to work after leaving that night. I personally went to her hometown Marlowe City to check, but the address was fake. No family shared the same surname as her."

"A fake address?" Thaddeus suddenly turned around, his eyes gloomy.

"Yes, I checked with the local registrar office, but I couldn't find any information about Mrs. Abernathy." Gordon said. He was used to referring to Ilana as "Mrs. Abernathy".

Thaddeus' mind was in chaos. What kind of woman had he married? Was she a spy?

"Did you check Cassius' identity? She left with him that night."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Thaddeus. If President Ashbourne really wanted to hide her identity, we might not find any clues..."

Thaddeus' heart rate accelerated, and anger flashed in his eyes.

"Cassius seems like a decent guy. How could he do such a thing?"

"Well... this isn't exactly a bad thing, right? It's more like he’s taking over you ex-wife..."

Thaddeus glared at him, and Gordon was so scared he couldn't catch his breath, coughing.

The scene of Cassius protecting Ilana that night was still fresh in his mind, his deep eyes were shocking.

Thaddeus felt oppressed. How could his wife attract someone like Cassius to be her protector?

He remembered what she had said in an attempt to win him back.

- "Thaddeus, can we...not get divorced? Because...I love you!"

"Liar!" Thaddeus glared fiercely, a strong chill radiating from him.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the angrier he became, the more he couldn't stop thinking about it!

At that moment, his cell phone vibrated on the table.

Thaddeus collected his thoughts and saw it was a call from Acacia and quickly picked up.

"Acacia, what's up?"

"Thaddeus, I'm in the Abernathy group lobby. Can you come pick me up? I made some snacks and wanted you to try them."

Acacia's voice was sweet, even Gordon felt a tingling sensation just hearing her.

"You're in the company lobby?" Thaddeus furrowed his brows.

"Yes, Thaddeus. What's wrong? You don't want to see me?" Acacia's sweet voice came through the phone.

"No, I'll send Gordon down to pick you up."

After hanging up, Thaddeus' face became even more gloomy.

His divorce papers with Ilana hadn't been finalized, and the news of their divorce hadn't been released. If Acacia came to him directly at this time, it would cause a lot of controversy.

He was not afraid of that, however...

At this moment, his cell phone vibrated again.

Thaddeus looked at the screen, his heart pounding.

"Grandpa."

"You ignorant boy! Did you take my words as wind?!"

Hamiltion Abernathy scolded, "I told you, once you marry Ilana, you can't have any contact with the Stirling family's daughter! But you broke your promise and even let her into our company. You might not respect yourself, but don't you care about Ilana's dignity? Get your ass over here!"

The atmosphere in the room was very oppressive.

Hamiltion, leaning on his cane, sat down on the sofa with the help of his secretary and Frederic. He was fuming.

Thaddeus stood in front of his elder, standing tall, while Acacia was stopped outside the door. In Hamilton's words, a woman like Acacia didn't deserve to see his honorable face.
