His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 79

In the backyard, Elvis was briskly heading towards his Lamborghini, his eyes icy cold.

"Elvis!" Evadne quickly caught up with him, tightly gripping his hand. "Where on earth are you going?!"

"I'm heading somewhere far away from here, hopefully never to return." Elvis spun around, a cold smirk on his face that was marred by a fresh slap mark.

"Elvis, you once said that what you value most are your three brothers and me. We are here, and this is your home. How can you just say you won't come back and mean it?" Evadne held onto Elvis' hand, her heart aching as if it was being torn apart.

Elvis stared at his sister with deep eyes, softly touching her tender cheek. "You guys will always be in my heart. Evadne, I've fulfilled my promise to you. You're not mad at me anymore, right?"

Evadne slowly nodded, suddenly feeling tears welling up in her eyes.

"If you truly want to respect Emeric, the best way is to let me disappear from his sight. I've got work to do, I have to go. I'll come back to see you next time."

"Elvis." Suri rushed over, holding a bag in her hand.

Elvis was taken aback, then softly called out, "Suri."

Suri's eyes were rimmed with red, and it took all her courage to pass over what she was holding.

"Elvis, in this bag...are some of the new medicines developed by our Bright group. They're all potent and might help you. There are also some snacks, made by Myrie. She's worried that you might get hungry on your long journey, and you can have these to fill your stomach."

After speaking, Suri gave an awkward smile. "These are just small things, I hope you won't find this annoying."

Elvis' eyelashes quivered slightly, his voice sounded gentle. "Thank you. I have everything I need where I'm going. Don't worry about me. I have to go."

With that, he gave Evadne a tight hug, then turned around and left. The Lamborghini sped away into the dark night. Evadne and Suri stood dumbstruck in the yard, both letting out a sigh.

"Let him go, Suri." Evadne comfortingly patted her shoulder. "Elvis has done well. He needs some time to adapt to this way of communication."

"I know, he's protecting me." A hint of pain flashed in Suri's eyes. "Evadne, he doesn't need to consider my feelings. I'm fine, really."

Evadne fell silent.

Two years ago, a plane crash descended like a nightmare onto the entire Ashbourne family.

Suri's eldest son, Evadne's half-brother, and the chief pilot of an airline, Hubery, tried to save the lives of 150 passengers on flight H676. He made the final decision to guide the aircraft towards the sea when it suffered a major malfunction.

Hubery was submerged under the sea; the day he died was his 27th birthday.

Regarding matters of the heart, everyone had their opinion, but it was undeniable that Hubery was an admirable young man.

The Maybach returned to Elmsworth.

Gordon drove with fear, constantly checking Thaddeus' expression through the rearview mirror. Thaddeus' face was as rigid and cold as ice, and his lips were pale, as if all his blood had been drained.

"Mr. Frederic, are you alright? You look really uneasy..."

"Just drive." Thaddeus' eyes were red and swollen. He took a deep breath.

He arrived infuriated, thinking he had a solid reason, thinking this time he could definitely make Ilana submit. But what awaited him was an even more painful humiliation. The thing that was broken was not just the gem bracelet, but also the dignity he had carefully protected for over twenty years!

"Mr. Frederic, I'll just say it..." Gordon was angry, but couldn't help but say, "If you want Mrs. Abernathy to return to your side, you can tell the Ashbourne family directly that you two haven't officially divorced. She's still the wife of our Abernathy group's CEO. I really can't stand the attitude of those two women. They are not even Ilana's biological mothers, what right do they have to boss you around?"

"So, in your opinion, I can only force Ilana to be with me through underhanded means?" Thaddeus retorted coldly.

"No... Mr. Frederic, that's not what I meant!"

Gordon nervously wiped his sweat. "I just...I just want to say, since you still care about Mrs. Abernathy, why not be straight with her? Wouldn't it be better to make her understand your feelings?"
