His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1377

That night, Gordon set up a camera in front of Holden, recording his entire confession. Evadne and Thaddeus supervised the whole process.

On camera, Holden broke down in tears, remorsefully detailing everything he had done while working under Chad. He confessed everything, begging for leniency.

Evadne insisted on doing this as a double insurance policy. She wanted to prevent Holden from suddenly changing his story when he went to the police station the next day. With this undeniable proof, he wouldn't have the chance to back out even if he wanted to.

Holden was placed under house arrest in a guest room, provided with food and water. Gordon and several bodyguards kept a strict watch over him, not just to stop him from escaping, but to ensure he didn't attempt suicide out of despair.

Evadne's meticulous planning and ruthless efficiency once again left Thaddeus utterly amazed.

At midnight, the two stood side-by-side on the balcony of what used to be their bridal suite. Thaddeus had ordered all the garden lights turned on, transforming the once gloomy estate into a vibrant, warm haven.

"You have so many clever tricks in that head of yours. I'm honestly afraid I could never outsmart you," Thaddeus said, looking straight ahead while secretly lacing his fingers through hers.

"I've always been sharp as a tack. I'm a regular mastermind. Are you just realizing this now?"

Evadne turned her head to look at him deeply, her eyes glistening. "Do you know what you used to praise me for? Do you remember?"

"I remember."

This time, Thaddeus didn't look away. He met her gaze, their tender, affectionate looks tangling together in the moonlight. "I always said, with a wife like you, what more could a man ask for?"

"Hmph, at least you know. Having me by your side, you must be secretly grinning under the covers every night, right?" Evadne crinkled her cute nose with a playful snort, though her eyes were brimming with heat.

"Evadne, I often wonder... if you had never met me, if our lives had never intertwined, would your life be free of all these devastating storms? You wouldn't have to rack your brain or exhaust yourself plotting all these schemes."

Thaddeus's throat tightened, his voice going hoarse. "You could have just stayed under the protection of Chairman Emeric and your brothers, living as a carefree, blissfully happy heiress. I think about that a lot..."

"Thaddeus, I believe in destiny. Fate destined us to be tangled together, to be deeply connected, and to be husband and wife."

Evadne stubbornly tightened her grip on his hand, tears pooling in her eyes. "We are destined... to be together for a lifetime, never to part, and to be buried together when we die. So, there are no 'ifs.' Our meeting was written in the stars."

Even if he had never been a peacekeeper, and she had never been a Doctors Without Borders volunteer.

Even without the blood and fire of war.

They still would have crossed paths someday, in some corner of the world, and said to each other:

"It's a pleasure to meet you."
