His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 9

Evadne stylishly held the steering wheel, tearing down the road with the nocturnal aria "The flames of revenge burn in my heart" blasting from her speakers.

She wasn't afraid of Thaddeus checking on her, she just couldn't understand why a man who treated her like air for three years, never asking about her, suddenly became curious only when their marriage was at its end.

Maybe it's just how men are. If a woman cares about him, he'll just be annoyed; but if she ignores him, he'll come running.

Suddenly, Evadne glanced at the rear-view mirror, her brows slightly furrowed.

In the not too distant back, Thaddeus' Lambo was stubbornly tailing her!

"You want to tail me? Dream on."

Evadne smirked, slamming the pedal to the metal.

Her La Voiture Noire drifted left like a lightning bolt, vanished in the blink of an eye.

"Hurry, keep up!" Thaddeus, sitting in the passenger seat, urged nervously.

Gordon was freaking out, he had never driven this fast. His heart was about to jump out of his mouth!

Finally, they caught a glimpse of Evadne's tail lights. Thaddeus' face remained impassive, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Thaddeus, Mrs. Abernathy's driving skills are insane! The song 'See You Again' really suits her." Gordon couldn't help but exclaim.

"What 'See You Again'? When did she become such a good driver?" Thaddeus frowned in confusion.

"Don't you know? Mrs. Abernathy is a huge fan of racing movies, especially 'The Fast and the Furious'. Every time I see her, that movie is playing on the TV in her living room and she often listens to that song."

Gordon was getting more and more excited, "Who would have thought Mrs. Abernathy had such a personality, I always thought she was a delicate lady who needed to be taken care of."

Even Thaddeus himself was fooled by this woman.

What's more annoying is that his secretary knows more about his wife than he does!

"Oh no! Mrs. Abernathy is speeding up!"

"Keep up, or I'll deduct your annual salary!" Thaddeus clenched his jaw, his handsome face turned pale.

Gordon was afraid of losing his salary, but he was more afraid of losing his life.

As a result, after two fast and furious drifts by Evadne, they completely lost sight of her tail lights.

"We... we lost her..." Gordon deflated.

Thaddeus punched the car window, his temple vein bulging.

Ilana, why are you hiding behind so many layers?

What's your real identity?

At night, Cassius and Arnold arrived at their sister's private villa.

In the open kitchen, Cassius was flipping pans and Arnold was chopping vegetables, while Evadne, with a lollipop in her mouth, enjoyed the sight of her brothers cooking.

"Done! Four kills!"

Evadne looked at her record on the screen and clapped her hands in triumph.

"Sis, your skills are still top-notch." Arnold smiled at her. His smile was the warmest among the four brothers.

"See, I'm like a skilled butcher, always completing tasks precisely."

Evadne knelt on the chair, her arms on the edge of the table, the lollipop in her mouth bobbing up and down, looking adorable.

"Hey, you're quite confident, let's have a match tomorrow, I'll show you what real skills are."

"You lost quite badly last time, I'd say don't bother challenging me." Cassius said, handing Evadne a piece of cut beef.

"Humph... last time I had to quit because of a sudden mission, otherwise we would have won!" Arnold was clearly discontented.

"I'm going to start cooking, Evadne, you're allergic to smoke, go wait in the living room." Cassius said gently.

Evadne paused, a pang of sorrow welled up in her heart.

She hadn't told her brothers that although she's allergic to smoke, she had been a cook for the Abernathy family for three years, being around cooking smoke for so long, her hands even covered in calluses, she body had built up some resistance against smoke.

If she told them, her brothers might harbor resentment towards the Abernathy family.
