His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 844

Elsie felt as though she had been struck by lightning, each breath heavier than the last.

Outside, the flames grew more ferocious, reflected in her eyes. She knew Avery had been suspicious of her for

stime. Getting rid of her was just a matter of when.

But that impeccably dressed beast, using her to kill the man she loved most for his own grand schemes? Never!

"Elsie, if | asked you to jump withright now, would you be scared?" Elvis wrapped his arms around her slim

waist, his eyes crinkling with a smile.

"Not at all," Elsie, her lips smeared from his kisses, met his bright eyes with determination.

"Really? Can't you letfeel a bit heroic?" Elvis raised an eyebrow, playfully pinching her side, "Can't you be

like other women, clinging toand crying out in fear when danger strikes?"

"Actually, | am scared." Elsie's eyes were locked on his, full of affection, "But as long as you're with me, | fear

nothing."

Elvis' heart, once frozen solid, melted instantly like it was thrown into those voracious flames.

He leaned down to give her another kiss, his voice deep and firm, "Let's go!"

In an instant, Elvis wrapped her petite frunder his black coat, holding her tightly, and then fired a couple of

shots through the window.

The room filled with smoke, and holding their breath, they charged towards the window with all their might.

Elvis' back shattered the glass as he shielded Elsie, leaping from the fifth floor. Amidst the blaze and flying

shards of glass and embers whipping past them like a storm, Elsie's heart skipped a beat, and she closed her

eyes in terror.

In a blur, she heard Elvis' heavy breathing, a stark sound of his distress tearing at her heart.

With a whoosh, a thin cable shot from his sleeve, piercing through the fire, embedding itself in the building's

wall.

Holding Elsie with one arm, Elvis controlled the rope with his left hand, kicking off the wall a few times.

In just a few seconds, they landed safely, but those moments would be etched in Elsie's memory forever.

They didn't even have tto catch their breath as they helped each other run toward the nearby woods.

Suddenly, Elsie stopped abruptly, shaking Elvis' hand off. He turned, puzzled, "Elsie."

"I'm sorry, | can only go this far with you."

Elsie's eyes reddened as she stepped back decisively, "Being with you, I'll only hold you back. Go now, before

they catch up! And don't clooking for me. It's over between us!"

"You wantto give up on you? Now, of all times?! Elsie, what kind of person do you takefor?!"

Elvis' eyes flared with intense emotions; teeth gritted, he stepped towards her, forcing her to retreat, "Even if

you don't go with me, do you think you can go back

to Avery? He wants us dead together; don't you see?!"

"Yes, Avery wants us dead, but you're still alive, aren't you?"

Elsie forced a cruel smile, torturing her own heart, "As long as you live, | can survive. But if | stay with you, Avery

will never stop hunting you. We'll never have peace.

Elvis, | have more important things to do. | can't afford to be a damsel in love. But

| will always remember the romance you gave me."

With those words, she turned and ran into the inferno, the personal hell.

"Elsie! Cback!"

No matter how much Elvis shouted, she didn't look back, only tears scattering in the cold wind.

The mansion was reduced to rubble by the fire, not even a cockroach or a fly could have survived in that blaze.

A couple of men in black with flashlights searched through the charred remains.

Harvey stood outside, his face pale but eyes red, "Search thoroughly! | want to see the body, dead or alive!"

"Yes, sir!"

Just then, he heard heavy, familiar footsteps behind him.

"El-Elsie?!"

Harvey turned to see the woman, filthy and bloodied, his expression a mix of shock and relief nearly

overwhelming him.

"They can stop searching. He's already gone."

Elsie looked at him coldly, her lips curling in mockery, "Sorry to disappoint Mr. Chambers again."

Harvey clenched his jaw fiercely, stepping close to her, his voice strained, "You let him escape?!"

"Do you think I'm a miracle worker?"

"Elsie, this is the last time, the last time!"

Harvey grasped her shoulders, breathing heavily, "Next tyou see Elvis, you must kill him!"

Elsie laughed fearlessly, "And if | don't?"

"We've been colleagues for years; | don't want to see you die!"

Harvey, ten years her senior, had watched Elsie grow up, trained her from her teenage years, and had always

been by her side. How could he not care for her?

"Ellie, just bear with it a little longer, both of us. Once Mr. Chambers helps the boss complete the drug trials, he'll

control the Chambers Group, dominate the entire domestic pharmaceutical market! All our rivals, including the K

Group, the Abernathy Group, will be under Mr. Chambers's feet. Then you'll see the good days. We'll have better

life. Staying with Mr. Chambers is your only way out!" Harvey's eyes gleamed with ambition, revealing this secret

to stabilize her.

Elsie's eyes darkened. Harvey's words confirmed her and Elvis' suspicions. But the unexpected revelation was

the mysterious "boss" behind it all!

Perhaps moved by his own words, Harvey suddenly pulled Elsie into a fierce embrace.

Elsie felt nauseous but didn't push him away. Because she knew Harvey was Avery's right-hand man, his master

key. Keeping him appeased gave her a better chance to reach the core of Avery's filthy empire.

"Ellie, listen to me. Next time, you must kill Elvis!"

Harvey took a deep breath, his voice gentle, "I'll talk to Mr. Chambers; truston this. No matter what, you've

got to keep going, okay?"

"Okay," Elsie responded softly, her gaze a chilling mix of disdain and iciness.
