Evadne was left in disbelief after hearing the story

Leaving aside whether Avery, with his gentlemanly demeanor, was capable of such a heinous act, it seemed out of character for him to get his own hands dirty when he could easily have someone else deal with Byron.

So, she gathered herself and firmly said, “Byron, this is something very serious. We need proof. You should bring this up with Mr. Chambers and the police, not me.”

“Miss Ashbourne, you saved me, you’re my savior! I can’t just stand by and watch you fall into a trap!”

Byron’s eyes held a genuine mix of anxiety and sincerity. “I know Avery’s been courting you, and you’ve been spending some time with him. I just don’t want you to be fooled by his act. That guy’s been a psychopath since he was a kid! His gentlemanly demeanor is just a facade. Deep down he’s nothing more than a wolf in sheep’s clothing! He’s only pursuing you to leverage the prestige of the Ashbourne family. He doesn’t truly care about you!” Even though Avery might not be a saint, Byron was no better. After all, the accident at the horse ranch was his “masterpiece”

Of course, he knew that Avery had sought revenge on Evadne’s behalf, and had sadistically enjoyed inflicting harm on him by his own hands.

Now, with his current condition and his marriage to Evadne off the table, he was hell–bent on exposing Avery’s true colors since he couldn’t achieve what he wanted

Emerging from the hospital room, Evadne looked contemplative.

The Chambers family members were all waiting by the door. They asked her about the situation and while she responded attentively, her mind seemed elsewhere.

That was when she noticed Avery, standing in the corner

She bit her lip and walked straight towards him.

“Evadne, you’ve had a tough day.” Avery quickly stood upright from his tean against the wall and greeted her with a warm smile.

From the demeanor he presented, he was nothing like monstrous Byron had described him as..

“Ave, I need to talk to you” Evadne’s tone was natural, but her face held a serious expression,

“Sure”

As both of them left, Jeff nodded in satisfaction.

“Matthew, don’t you also think Avery and Evadne make a nice pair?”

Matthew whispered, “Are you really giving up on Byron?”

“Given the current situation, do you think it’s possible for Evadne to marry Byron?”

Jeff looked at Avery’s retreating figure with a thoughtful expression, “Avery and Evadne have their childhood bond, and their feelings for each other would

be growing rapidly. If they end up together, it wouldn’t be such a bad thing. I might not be fond of Avery, but he is still my son.”

Hearing this, Matthew’s face darkened.

Across the street from the hospital, in a private room of a café, the two sat across from each other. In a thoughtful gesture, Avery ordered a strawberry pastry for Evadne, suspecting she might be hungry after a busy morning.

“Go ahead, you’ve always had a good appetite, and you love strawberry.”

“Ave, do you consider me a friend?‘ Evadne interrupted him suddenly

Avery’s eyelashes fluttered, “Of course, aside from my mother, you are the person I value and care about the most”

“Then I need you to be honest with me”

Evadne took a deep breath, “Has what happened to your brother anything to do with you?”

“Did Byron tell you that?” Avery’s hand paused as he held his coffee cup
