His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 644

The all became thick with tension, the atmosphere plummeting to a frosty chill

Avery chuolet Charman Ashbourne, joule reading too much into it. How could tharbor such petty thoughts? You’re Evadne Father, and she’s the apple of my eye. It’s in all sincerity that I wish for you to enjoy robust health and a long life.”

Dylan sonunized Avery with a furrowed brow, as if trying to decipher the truth behind those words. They might have sounded like concern, but coming from this kit, they rang hollow

“All Chambers, youte certainly persistent, Emeric’s tone sharpened with sarcasm from beneath his tailored suit. “But there’s a Boe line between persistence and obsession, and the latter is a fool’s errand. I’ve told you before, matters of the heart can’t be forced Especially with a headstrong woman like Evadne. No matter how diligently you court her, if she’s not into you, that’s not going to change

Avery’s smile froze, a massive wave of humiliation threatening to engulf him.

“Now it’s public knowledge that Evadne is in a love–soaked relationship with Thad. They’re busy planning a wedding, sweet as honey, and that’s not something just anyone can get in the middle of”

Emeric practically cooed the name “Thad”

To the uninitiated, it might seem like the two men shared a close bond.

They say dealing with in–laws is a challenge, but it seems the relationship between a father–in–law and his daughter’s suitor is a riddle just as complex.

Hatred surged in Avery’s chest, his mouth bitter. He was about to retort when Emeric cut him off, “Mr. Chambers, you’ve come up in the world. You’re no longer the little boy trailing behind my daughter. With Evadne having Thad, your continued declarations of love are quite unbecoming, not to mention undignified.”

If Emeric had given Avery a wake–up call at the entrance of Silverlake Harbor last time, this was the crushing of his last shred of hope.

Avery clenched his jaw his gaze as sharp as a jagged rock on a cliff, cold and piercing.

After a moment, he forced another smile. “Chairman Ashbourne, I never expected you to remember my goodwill, but there’s no need to be so cold and heartless towards your lifesaver, is there? Besides, I’ve always held you in high regard.”

Lifesaver? Emeric and Dylan were both taken aback!

“Didn’t Evadne tell you that when you were in a deep coma, on the verge of becoming a vegetable, I was the one who rushed in with the lifesaving medication that pulled you back from the brink?”

Avery’s smile was nonchalant, “But of course, why would Evadne mention it? Any credit would go to Thaddeus, not me.”

Emeric’s cheeks flushed with hot shame!

This feeling of being controlled, being suppressed, was intolerable, and a fresh wave of cold sweat soaked through his suit!

“If it was indeed you, then I should thank you.”

“Chairman Ashbourne, I’m aware that your condition is quite severe. In its advanced stages, it can lead to numbness, even paralysis. You’ve commanded power and respect all your life; surely you wouldn’t want to end it in a pitiable state, racked with illness, your legacy tarnished. Your family was in disarray over your illness, Evadne was crying her eyes out–it was heart–wrenching to see,” Avery said with a heavy sigh.
