Chapter 404

Avery turned his back to them, making a slight gesture with his slender, pale fingers.

Elsie bit her lip and handed the envelope to Harvey, who in turn passed it to Avery.

In the past, besides Miss Ashbourne, she was the only woman who had the privilege to get close to Avery. She could sit on his lap and flirt with him like a lover, share harmless jokes with him, and Avery never got angry with her.

Everyone who followed Avery naturally assumed that he liked her, and pampered her.

Only Elsie knew the truth. She was nothing and wasn’t even worthy of tying Evadne’s shoes.

Avery merely saw her as a cheap substitute. When he was happy, he teased her, satisfying his desires. When he was upset, he cruelly mistreated her. With a mere flick of his finger, he could make her life a living hell.

Therefore, she no longer took the initiative to get close to him. Even making eye contact with him filled her with dread.

Harvey handed the envelope to Avery with both hands.

Avery put down his glass, took the envelope, and leisurely opened it.

Suddenly, Avery shot up from the couch, his body radiating an oppressive chill that was as startling as a sudden storm. Harvey and Elsie instinctively stepped back, shivering with fear.

The next moment, a loud noise echoed.

Avery roared with rage, his eyes bloodshot, and he kicked the coffee table over!

The expensive red wine and antique crystal glasses shattered into pieces on the floor, creating a scene of chaos.

“Damn, bastard!”

Avery flung the photo in his hand into the air, his bloodshot eyes filled with rage, like an angered beast.

Harvey and Elsie picked up the photo, both in shock!

Even fully prepared, they instantly recognized it.

The stunning couple in the photo, locked in a passionate kiss, were Thaddeus and Evadne!

“How is this possible? Why?”

Avery clutched his chest, trembling. He felt as if a powerful bomb had been planted in his heart, shattering his world.

“Why? Evadne hated him so much, even in front of me. Why are they together, why?”

“Mr. Chambers, please calm down!”

Harvey tried his best to console him, “Perhaps this is a misunderstanding. Maybe our people saw it wrong, they didn’t.”

“I know Evadne well.”

Avery touched his forehead, which was burning with anger, and collapsed onto the couch, “If she dislikes someone, she won’t even spare them a glance! Even if they didn’t kiss, but Thaddeus held her, and they were shopping together.”

Saying this, Avery took deep breaths, gritted his teeth, but couldn’t stop the tears from flowing.

Harvey and Elsie were stunned.

They had been with Avery for many years, but this was the first time they had seen him cry over a woman, and so heartbrokenly at that.

How much must he love Evadne, to be in this state?

But why would Evadne rather be with someone who had cruelly abandoned her and hurt her deeply, than give Mr. Chambers a second glance? Harvey repeatedly signaled Elsie with his eyes.

But Elsie just hung her head, her eyelids drooping, not daring to take a step closer to Avery.
