His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 654

Elsie’s pupils dilated in terror, her slender, delicate legs trembling violently beneath her skirt!

“Ever since our last visit to him, I couldn’t shake the feeling that his eyes were lingering all over you.”

Avery grabbed her chin forcefully, tilting her face upward with such strength it felt like her jaw might shatter, “This time, I’m certain, he’s taken a fancy to you. It seems he’s not as refined as I thought; if he can’t have the genuine article, then keeping a knock–off by his side for his viewing pleasure and to indulge his desires is a fine alternative.”

Elsie’s eyes brimmed with tears, her voice a broken whisper of desperate plea, “Mr. Chambers, please, don’t send me to Mr. Chad Abernathy! For all the years I’ve loyally served you. I beg you not to send me away, please!”

“Value? What value do you have left!”

Avery, who had been holding back a tempest of fury since his return, let it all out on Elsie, shoving her so violently in the chest that she stumbled backward and hit the wall with a thud, her back cold with pain.

“Harvey, pack her things. Send her off tomorrow!”

“No, please!”

Elsie collapsed at Avery’s feet, her face lifted in supplication, hands clasped together, “I swear to serve you till death! I will never betray you! Ask anything of me, just don’t cast me aside!”

Her tears and fear were genuine. But how much truth lay in her words, even she couldn’t discern.

Mr. Chambers had been her savior, rescuing her from a life of destitution and giving her a place to call home.

She couldn’t forget how he carried her on horseback, taught her to play the piano, to savor wine, to be cultured.

It was he who had transformed her. Before returning to Elmsworth, Mr. Chambers had been her everything, the light she sought all her life.

But now, she saw through him. From the day Avery had her face altered to resemble Evadne, she should have realized.

To Avery, she was merely a tool to be used and discarded. Without her, there would be other girls. Saving her was just a coincidence.
