The next day, at the Abernathy Group.
Gordon bustled in, knocking on the door.
“Mr. Thaddeus, about the thing you asked me to look into, oh my God!”
His words were cut short by a scream that slipped out of his control.
He tried to stop it, but it was too late!
He watched as Thaddeus sat at the table, casually pulling out a piece of rose apple pie from a disgustingly dirty box
Thaddeus opened his mouth wide and took a big bite, squinting his eyes in obvious pleasure.
“Mr. Thaddeus! That was picked out of the trash, please don’t eat it!” Gordon said anxiously.
“It’s just the box that’s dirty. The stuff inside is still clean.” Thaddeus took another bite.
The taste was indeed good, but unfortunately, the pastry wasn’t made for him.
Thinking about this, Thaddeus felt bitter taste in his mouth and throat.
Once upon a time, Evadne made these for him every day, but he didn’t appreciate it. Now, he could only pick them out of the trash.
It really was going from bad to worse.
“So, how did your investigation go?” Thaddeus packed away the remaining pastry and asked calmly
“After a lot of effort, that self-media finally gave me an important clue!*
“Don’t keep me in suspense.”
The self-media guy said he also got the photo of Ada’s wedding scene from a private message. He’s just a tool for passing information, and he doesn’t know who the person behind the information is.”
“Have you been taking any courses in your spare time?” Thaddeus sneered.
“Huh?” Gordon was taken aback.
“Useless information training course.”
Thaddeus frowned, “Is this the clue you found? You don’t even know who the operator behind the scenes is. I think you should donate your bonus to
those in need.”
“Mr. Thaddeus, please calm down! I have obtained the account of the person who provided the information, and I rushed back to report to you before had time to investigate! I’ll go check it out right now!” Hearing about the money deduction, Gordon turned pale. He may not have a wife yet, but he still needed to plan for the future!
“Give me the account. I’ll check it myself: Thaddeus beckoned him.
“Well, you don’t have to do it yourself.”
If I wait for you, I’m going to lose”
Thaddeus frowned, feeling a little anxious, “I need to find out who the mastermind is before Evadne’s brothers help her.”
Damn competitive instincts!
“Mr. Thaddeus! I’m honored to see you in action. I have no regrets!” Gordon was so excited he was close to crying.
“You’re overacting” Thaddeus scowled, flexing his fingers lightly
In military school, he had also learned tracking and counter-tracking, intelligence gathering, decoding and other professional skills, but after returning to the Abernathy Group as the CEO, these skills had not been used and had become a little rusty.
When Evadne was still llana Waverley, he had privately used his hacking skills in an attempt to find out information about her and the mysterious men around her
But he had come up empty handed. This made him realize that the people around Evadne were not ordinary people.
But this time, he thought the opponent was not so strong. If he couldn’t find out the information, it would be really boring!
Seeing Thaddeus eager to try, Gordon was overjoyed and said with a smile, “Mr. Thaddeus, tell me the truth, have you fallen for Mrs. Abernathy?”
Thaddeus glanced at him coldly, “Do you think you’re making too much money and want to do charity?”
Gordon closed his mouth again.
“For the past three years, I do owe her”
Thaddeus took a deep breath, lowered his head and said, “I will do whatever I can to repay her.”
In the evening
At Evadne’s private villa, Cassius and Arnold, hearing that their sister’s business was in trouble, immediately dropped their work and rushed over In the study, Arnold sat in front of the computer, sweating profusely, tracking the information of the user behind the account Evadne had given him On the other hand, Evadne was sitting on the sofa, enjoying the top-grade red wine Arnold had brought with Cassius.
Arnold was working his ass off, and said angrily, “Did I rush over here in the middle of the night just to be a tool? You two are over there drinking wine.
mg me, the prosecutor?!”
Seeing the two of them indifferent to him, Arnold said helplessly, “Leave some for me!”
“Arnold, just focus on your work. If you do a good job, I’ll give you all the wine in my cellar.” Evadne said with a smile. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
I’m an upright public servant. Don’t try to bribe me!” Arnold frowned and got back to work.
“Evadne, Dad already knows about what’s going on here, Cassius said gently.
Evadne’s spirits plummeted, she said resentfully, “Is he sitting at home waiting to laugh at me?”
“Yeah, he did.” Cassius chuckled, pinching her cheek, Dad’s exact words were if such a small matter can upset her, is there anyone in the world she cares about?”
Evadne didn’t say anything.
“Also, Dad said Ada is going to shoot the eighth part of The Evil March next year. The producers had previously contacted him through some connections, hoping he would invest”
Cassius leaned in slightly, smiling mysteriously, “Dad told me privately, if you’re still not satisfied, he can have the producers change the lead actress for the eighth movie.”
Evadne gasped. She never expected dad to have connections in Hollywood?
“Er, there’s no need to say that. We were the ones who breached the contract first, Ada herself did nothing wrong. There’s really no need to put her in a difficult situation.”
Evadne let out a sigh, feeling a bit bummed, “No matter how you put it, I’m doing my own thing now, can’t rely on my family anymore. And with all this crap happening, the only way to get it off my chest is to find those who framed me, and then, I’ll make sure I publicly humiliate them and give them a piece of my mind!”
“Good on ya, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. That’s how a daughter of the Ashbourne family should be”
Cassius had a warm and satisfied smile in his eyes, and gently patted his sister on the head.
Just let her go wild, cause a scene, even if it turned the world upside down, they, as her brothers, would have her back
At that moment, a phone on the table began to vibrate.
Evadne glanced sideways, her beautiful eyes widening slightly
“Thaddeus” was the name that came into view.
“Your ex-husband is calling. Cassius said with a teasing smile.
“What a nightmare” Evadne immediately put the phone aside, completely ignoring it.
Suddenly, Jason rushed in with a frown, pushing the door open
“Ms. Evadne! Thaddeus is here, he’s right outside the door!”
And at the same time, the doorbell rang
