His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 712

“It wasn’t me, Mr. Chambers, it wasn’t me.”

Elsie struggled to articulate each word, her gaze still held that teetering glint of injustice and innocence.

No one knew better than her what fate awaited those who betrayed Avery. She didn’t want to die – not because she feared death, but because she couldn’t bear to go out with such a whisper, unnoticed and unvalued.

So, she vehemently pleaded her case, “Mr. Chambers, what do I gain from betraying you? Only Harvey and I knew about this. Any move I make would be quickly noticed by you. Am I that foolish to court death? Besides, I’m here at the Velvet Haven from dawn till dusk. Surrounded by your watchful eyes, every single move I make is under your surveillance; I have no chance to even make contact with Ms. Ashbourne and Mr. Abernathy. Where’s the betrayal in that?”

Her words slowly ebbed the malice from Avery’s eyes, hitting the nail on the head.

Seizing the moment, Elsie hurriedly pressed on, “Mr. Chambers, my wretched life is in your hands. Without you, I’m nothing. I’ve plotted against Thaddeus before. If they ever take you down, and the nest is overturned; how could they possibly spare me?!”

Avery’s gaze darkened with suspicion, but he slowly released his grip on her.

Just then, Harvey burst in, frantic, “Mr. Chambers! There’s a trouble!”

Avery irritably pulled his tie, “What now?”

E

“Elvis is here!”

Elsie felt as if her veins would explode, her body trembling uncontrollably. She remembered those bright and lively eyes, her throat parching as if that ruthless hand was choking her once more, leaving her nearly breathless.

“What? Elvis?” Avery ground his teeth, his voice dark, “Is he alone?”

“Yeah, solo!”

Harvey spat with venom, “The punk just waltzed into our territory alone. Definitely up to no good. Mr. Chambers, shall we teach him a lesson?”

“Against a top–tier agent with your parlor tricks?”

Avery pushed up his gold rim glasses with his slender finger, “If he dared to step into the Velvet Haven, it means he’s capable of leaving here in one piece. Elsie, go change. Meet with him.”

“Mr. Chambers.” Elsie’s heart raced, a sheen of sweat on her forehead.

“Charm him, bait him, and when the opportunity arises, make sure he dies by your hand.”

Avery’s lips curled into a sinister smile, whispering in her ear, “If, as you say, your heart has always been with me, then don’t make me wait too long.”

Elvis sat alone in the Velvet Haven’s most luxurious private room. His muscular arms, hidden beneath a black trench coat, rested casually along the back of the sofa, his gaze half–indifferent, half–lazy, radiating an aura that kept others at bay.

The manager approached with a smile, carrying a selection of fine liquor, but before he could speak, Elvis casually interjected.

“I drove here, and I don’t drink and drive.”

“Ah, but who comes to the Velvet Haven and doesn’t enjoy a drink? You’d miss out on so much fun. We’ll arrange a driver for you later, our treat!”
