His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 967

"So, it looks like Evadne took off because of that call."

Detective Aaron, with his mind racing, immediately frowned in thought. "But what's strange is, Evadne isn't the type to act so impulsively. Even if she had to leave the Mayor's Office under extraordinary circumstances, she'd at least consult with her sister for a plan.

So, she must've been cornered by whoever was on the other end of the line, offered something she couldn't refuse. That's the only reason she'd make such a desperate move!"

"How odd."

The more Cassius thought about it, the more bewildered and anxious he became. "Avery's gang is all in Helgen, and all the lethal dangers are here too. We were on a mission at the church, Debby was at the Mayor's Office, and Darcy safely returned from the event he attended.

Aside from the safety of her loved ones, what else could have lured Evadne into leaving the Mayor's Office and facing such great danger?"

"It's... Avery!"

Thaddeus turned pale, hardly needing a second thought. "With Harvey gone and Elsie rescued by Elvis, Avery's out of moves.

He had no choice but to target Evadne, to try and take her with him.

After all, Evadne is who he truly wants. If he's going to flee... abandon everything, he'd make sure to take Evadne with him!"

With that, he closed his eyes again, breathing deeply in an attempt to quell the pain and headache overwhelming him.

Their anxious gazes interlocked, all finding the theory frighteningly plausible.

Yet, everyone held their breath, hoping Thaddeus was wrong.

Just then, Darcy's aide burst into the room, sweating bullets:

"Mr. Mayor! There's... there's been an incident!"

Darcy clutched Debby, who was trembling in his arms, and asked sternly, "What happened?!"

The aide stuttered, terrified, "Just now, at the museum opening you attended today, four bombs hidden in the shadows exploded. The museum's been reduced to rubble, and the estimated damage is... in the billions!"

Everyone was stunned. "What? An explosion?!"

And not just one, but four bombs!

Debby, already close to fainting, slumped even further into Darcy's embrace, gripping his shirt tightly, her whole body shaking with fear:

"Darcy... you were there today. It was so close... I could've lost you forever!"

"This is horrifying..."

Aaron also clutched his chest, "Darcy, you're one lucky guy. The moment you left, the museum exploded. It's like you have an angel watching over you!"

Darcy had no time to ponder his luck; he urgently asked his aide, "Were there any casualties?!"

"There were... five security officers killed. But thank God you're safe. The bombs exploded after the museum closed, so there were no other casualties. I suspect the terrorists were just aiming to destroy a landmark of Helgen, not targeting you specifically..."

"No! They were targeting the Mayor!"
