Chapter 664

“I’ve already looked into the video of Emeric that was leaked online.” Elvis’s voice came through, icy and filled with a deadly intent. Thaddeus arched an eyebrow, his lips pursed in reluctance.

He had intended to handle the situation quietly, away from Evadne’s prying eyes, smoothing things over for Chairman Emeric. Yet, here was Elvis, his old college rival, beating him to it once again.

Back in their school days, they’d been at loggerheads, competing for top honors and engaging in daily intellectual duels that rivaled the clashes of the greatest Greek gods. Now, he was still competing, denying him a chance to shine.

If it weren’t for the fact that they were both men, it could have been mistaken for a love–hate relationship straight out of an old

romance.

A frost seemed to creep into Thaddeus‘ gaze. “It’s Bevis, isn’t it?”

“Impressive. The detective work is basically done by guessing,” Elvis taunted.

“The angle of the footage was clearly from the boardroom’s security camera. After I settled Emeric, I immediately had Dylan delete the surveillance footage. Obviously, someone got to it first and copied the video.”

Thaddeus‘ tone was so cold it could’ve frozen the air. “Evadne told me she had every board member sign a non–disclosure agreement after the incident, except for Bevis. She did it deliberately, to let him think he had the upper hand and walk into our trap. But I never expected him to leak the video. He’s really not playing the game anymore.”

“Heh, I think he’s not playing for his life anymore.”

Elvis clenched his fist so tightly his knuckles cracked audibly, even Thaddeus could hear it clearly. “I found the clues by cracking the IP address of the leaked video.”

“It looks like it’s time to put family loyalty aside and show that scoundrel what happens when he messes with Emeric.”

Thaddeus‘ brows knitted together. “Not yet.”

“Thaddeus, you dare to challenge me? I’m Elvis!” His voice rose an octave in displeasure.

“Your father is gravely ill, Elvis, and his condition is far worse than you imagine.”

Silence fell on the other end.

already struck a heavy blow to him. If you go after Bevis now, I fear Emeric won’t be able to withstand it. I’ve seen that Emeric places great value on family ties.
