Chapter 528

“It’s no secret that Ms. Evadne has always been a beacon of integrity,” Matthew’s words cut through the room like a knife, “Would she lift a finger to operate on my brother if he were the monster everyone claims? That would make her an accomplice to his crimes, wouldn’t it?”

His statement sent shockwaves through the community.

Byron had been nothing but a wreck from the get–go. The world knew Byron was no saint, and Matthew never tried to sugarcoat his brother’s reputation; instead, he deftly aimed to absolve him of guilt. What the world thought of Byron didn’t matter in the least.

But Evadne was different.

By making her surgery public at this sensitive juncture, he was essentially declaring-

Evadne, behind closed doors, was in cahoots with the Chambers Group.

Don’t be fooled by her smooth talk. When push comes to shove, her loyalties lie with the Chambers family.

“Ladies and gentlemen, my brother’s situation has consumed far too much of our public resources, and for that, on behalf of him and the Chambers Group, I offer our sincerest apologies, Matthew bowed deeply as the press conference came to an abrupt halt.

Evadne’s face was stoic, her beauty as crisp and untouchable as the frost on a winter’s dawn.

Evadne lifted her lashes to meet Thaddeus’s stormy gaze, his chest rising and falling against her back in silent fury. The quieter he became, the angrier he was

“Thaddeus, don’t get too worked up over this,” she soothed, her voice a soft lullaby against his rage, “He’s just a lowly cur, barking from the safety of his screen. I don’t give a damn, and neither should you”

“How can i not?” Thaddeus’s breath was erratic, his fists trembling within her gentle grasp, “Byron suffered because of him, and I’ll make sure Matthew pays double.”

“That’s exactly how I feel, but we can’t lose our footing over a few barks”

Evadne, with a worried frown, lifted her hands to his temples and massaged gently, “You know how serious your migraines are, and stress only makes them worse. Think about yourself, but if not, think of me.”
