Chapter 623

In the moment the line connected, Avery sat up straight, his posture rigid with anticipation.

“Sir.”

“Mr. Chambers, it must be the middle of the night back home, haven’t you gone to bed

yet?”

The voice on the other end was Alexia’s!

Avery’s heart skipped a beat, surprise lacing his voice. “Ms. Alexia?”

“It’s morning here. Sir is currently visiting with the Williams and can’t take your call.”

Alexia’s tone carried a smug chuckle, “Whatever you have to say, you can tell me, and I’ll pass it along.”

Avery’s brows furrowed, his fingers curling into a fist.

He had served Sir for many years, toiling tirelessly with the loyalty of a workhorse, yet he always felt an invisible barrier between them. He even questioned whether Sir truly regarded him as a confidant.

And here was Alexia, who had only recently entered Sir’s inner circle, already entrusted

with such liberties as to answer his calls!

“I’ve delivered the medicine you provided to Evadne’s hands, and she has accepted it.”

“Oh, that’s splendid. Congratulations, Mr. Chambers, on your affections finally being acknowledged by Ms. Evadne,” Alexia mocked.

Avery hesitated, “The medicine… there won’t be any problems, right?”

“Ha, Mr. Chambers, are you suggesting Sir would sabotage your romance?”

Alexia’s scoff grew louder, “Do you think Sir has that much free time? And if it weren’t for Sir repeatedly intervening on your behalf, Evadne would have reconciled with Thaddeus. long ago – they’d probably have kids running around by now, and you’d be out of the

picture. Ah, I’d forgotten – Evadne can’t have children anymore. Thaddeus wore her out,

didn’t he? Ha…”

Avery’s clenched fist trembled, “Ms. Alexia, please show some respect. Evadne is the woman I love, and she has never wronged you!”
