Chapter 551

Gordon’s fists clenched hard, seething with a desire to deck that reporter and send him to hell.

A hush fell over the crowd, all eyes glued on the reporter, waiting for the showdown.

Some had wanted to ask that very question, but respect for Evadne’s influence had sealed their lips. Now, the reporter had taken the bullet, and they couldn’t be more delighted.

Thaddeus’s chest burned with a fury so intense it threatened to engulf him. His veins bulged as his hand reached for the car door, eager to bolt, but Evadne’s arms enveloped him from behind.

“It’s already chaos out there, and don’t go adding fuel to the fire.”

Gritting his teeth, Thaddeus growled with a voice thick with rage, “But he’s smearing your name.”

“So what? It’s not a big deal. Thaddeus, we’re adults here, and can we keep the emotions in check, please?” Evadne teased, playfully scratching at his ribs.

Thaddeus’s anger subsided slightly, yet he was still fuming, “We can’t just let this go. That sleaze could very well be a pawn of the Chambers Group.”

“And what if he is?”

Evadne blinked her sparkling eyes, unfazed, “Byron is toast, and we’ve finally avenged the girls he wronged. My mission is accomplished. As for what people say, I couldn’t care less.”

“Evadne, don’t make me feel so useless,” Thaddeus choked, his throat clogged with bitterness.

“Useless? Being with you is a blast, I’ve got no worries at all.”

Evadne pressed her soft curves against his tense chest, cradling his face in her hands.

“Come here.”

Thaddeus’s hands roamed over her slender waist and hips, his lips claiming hers deeply.
