His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

hapter 637

The snarl on Avery’s face was feral, a mask of wolfish malice that he no longer cared to conceal.

To him, Matthew was a defeated underling, barely worthy of attention.

“So your sudden return is all about revenge against the Chambers family?” Matthew raged, his voice reaching a feverish pitch. “You orchestrated the downfall of Byron and Myra? And now, you’re coming after me? You despicable cur!”

Shaking with fury and on the verge of collapse, he spat out, “I’ll tell Dad! I’ll expose every underhanded deed you’ve done! I’ll show him the treacherous snake you truly are!”

“Bertha’s prison stint? What’s that got to do with me? That was Thaddeus and the Ashbourne family’s doing. And Byron? They conspired to bring him down, not me,” Avery chuckled at Matthew’s panicked expression. “Besides, do you really think you have any credibility left with Dad? He can barely stand the sight of you. Why would he believe your tall tales?”

Avery’s laughter sent a chill down Matthew’s spine.

He had underestimated the black sheep, the outcast of the family who had been sidelined by their father. He thought Avery, without any foundation in the company or Elmaworth, could never pose a threat.

Yet, after fifteen years of stealthy plotting, Avery had returned and ensnared them all in his web, leaving them powerless to fight. back.

When did this once pliable pretty boy turn into a ruthless predator, a shark that devoured his prey whole? Whose powerful coattails was he riding on now?

“Son of a bitch! I’ll cut you down!”

Matthew’s eyes blazed with a furious red as he awung his fist towards Avery’s face. Just then, the conference room door swung open.

“Mr. Avery, Mr. Jeff would like to see you now,” Jeff’s secretary gestured politely.

With a forceful shove that sent Matthew stumbling, Avery lifted his chin in arrogant triumph and sauntered into the office.

The door shut behind him, leaving Matthew to realize he hadn’t tended to his injuries, which left him clutching his head in pain, slumped on the floor.

Inside, Jeff was swiftly downing his nitroglycerin pills at the sight of Avery.

When Jeff tucked the medicine bottle away, Avery began, “Dad, Matthew was just misguided. And those injured folks, they were already out of danger. Who could’ve guessed they wouldn’t make it?”

Avery moved behind Jeff, patting his back in a soothing gesture. “Life is unpredictable, Dad. Don’t beat yourself up. I’ve already sent someone with money to the hospital in Country T to take care of the victims. We’ll do whatever it takes to mitigate the fallout from this disaster.”

“Avery!”

Jeff clung to his arm like a lifeline. “You’ve always been the most capable, the most promising of my children. You have to help me out of this mess. You managed to get that big project in Helgen back on track when no one else could. You’re competent, surely you have a plan?”

A slight smile played on Avery’s lips as he spoke softly, “Dad, you guessed right. I do have a plan.”

“Really? What do you propose?”

“If you want me to pull the Chambers Group out of this fire, I just need one thing from you–make me the CEO of the Chambers Group.”
