His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chatper 485

Chapter 485

Some were down on their luck, others riding high.

Avery put on a show of concern, pacing the living room with feigned anxiety, his posture straight, his expression grave.

“Damn, we just got rid of that Unfaithful Thaddeus, and now we’ve got Snaky Avery on our doorstep! What kind of bad karma has our little sis racked up? Did she sell out her country in a past life?!”

Arnold and Cassius watched from the second–floor landing, the former seething with a gnawing irritation. Cassius glared at Avery’s all–too–familiar theatrics; his grip on the banister was so tight veins stood out on his hand.

“At such a grand dinner, as the star of the Chambers Group, he’s a no–show. But the moment Evadne has a crisis, he can’t wait to jump into the fray. Humph, with my years as a prosecutor, I’d bet tonight’s drama has Snaky Avery’s fingerprints all over it. Probably in cahoots with Edith, using that wicked girl as a pawn!”

“Your analysis is spot–on. But he’s cunning, and knows how to use others to do his dirty work.”

Cassius’s cold gaze locked onto Avery’s face, “Before he makes his move, he’s already plotting his escape route. No doubt, he’s cleared his tracks. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be here so brazenly tonight. He must think he’s safe and sound.”

“Son of a gun, it’s not with the best of intentions, means no good!”

Arnold exhaled his frustration, “All of us brothers, strong as we are, can’t seem to lay a finger on that devil!”

Just then, Emeric approached Avery, flanked by Myra and Dylan.

“Mr. Ashbourne, Mrs. Ashbourne.”

Avery quickly stood up and bowed, the epitome of politeness and the kind of kid that parents adored.

“Mr. Chambers, my daughter isn’t feeling well and isn’t up to receiving visitors.”

Seeing Emeric’s poor state, Myra spoke on his behalf, “And after the unpleasantness at tonight’s event, which you must have heard about, we’re really not in the mood for guests. Please, see yourself out.”

Avery’s eyes darkened at Myra’s dismissal, his fingers clenched in barely concealed frustration, yet he managed to keep his composure, “I heard about Evadne’s condition and couldn’t rest, so I rushed over to see her. Mr. Ashbourne, don’t worry. I know a few renowned doctors in Helgen. If the local physicians are at a loss, I can invite them to Skyrim to consult on Evadne’s case!”

“Avery”

Emeric spoke up abruptly, his voice heavy, “We appreciate your concern. But right now, you’re Nydia’s fiancé. No matter how close you and Evadne grew up, it’s time you focused your attention on Nydia. You need to keep your distance from Evadne.”

Avery–was shocked, his complexion paling!

“Ha, that’s right!”

Arnold couldn’t help but feel victorious, “After all his scheming, he still can’t have our sister. His plans have come to nothing. Outsmarted by his own cleverness!”
