Chapter 486

Jeff and Matthew stood as if they’d been turned to stone, their mouths agape, their expressions a mirror image of shock.

“Evadne, how could you?” Cassius looked desperately at his little sister, his heart aching.

As the eldest, he should have been the one to take the brunt, to protect his siblings. He wanted to face this alone, to settle everything, but he never imagined that at this moment his little sister would burst forth, using words to provoke the Chambers family and draw their fire!

“Impotent? Evadne, what are you implying?!”

Matthew’s aura of privilege was on the brink of shattering as he glared at Evadne with a venomous look, “And what did you say? You hit Byron?! You actually dared to strike a member of the Chambers family? How dare you?!”

“How could I not dare?”

Evadne’s beautiful eyes narrowed, and she laughed coldly, a chill in her voice, “He had the gall to bully Nydia; I had the guts to make him pay! But killing him would be letting him off too easy. For scum like Byron, he should be thrown in jail to rot among the trash, to suffer the agony of being a convict. Ha, with his limp, once he’s in there, he’ll probably be at everyone’s mercy, living a life worse than death. That’s the fate I want to see for him!”

The Ashbournes‘ hearts pounded wildly, and Myra’s vision blurred as she struggled to stand!

“Nydia, Nydia!”

Myra clutched her sweaty forehead with one hand and her chest with the other, barely able to breathe!

“Myra!”

“Myrie!”

Emeric immediately caught her in his arms, his own heart racing out of his chest, “Don’t be scared! Don’t panic! I’m here!”

“Emeric. I’m scared. I’m scared something happened to Nydia,” Myra couldn’t hold back any longer, tears streaming down her face.

“Evadne! How could you say such a thing?!”

Jeff, oblivious to the actual events, was still defensively protesting on behalf of his son, “Byron is a gentleman, and your father and I are good friends! How could he possibly do such a thing to Ms. Nydia Ashbourne?!”

“A gentleman? Mr. Jeff Chambers, are you telling me jokes?”

Evadne’s lips curled mockingly as her piercing gaze swept over the men of the Chambers family, finally landing sharply on Avery’s face, “Your children, each and every one of them, are no good! The men are despicable and shameless, the women both wicked and stupid. You and Emeric have been friends for years, and it’s one thing for your business ventures to not flourish, but how could you fail so miserably at raising your children? That’s truly disappointing.”

Jeff and Matthew turned ashen with rage.

Avery’s breathing became labored, his fingers curling into his palms as if he wanted to dig into his own flesh! The woman he loved was mocking her, insulting him. This piercing, bone–deep feeling was more painful than if she had slapped him hard across the face!

“Evadne, Cassius, you’re saying Byron bullied Nydia?” Emeric, usually decisive and ruthless in business, now hesitated to delve deeper.

He wasn’t afraid of anything; he was just afraid that the truth might devastate him more than Myra’s reaction!
