His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 820

Chapter 820

Elsie's heart thundered like a drum in her chest, her insides twisted into a tight knot of anxiety. Despite this, her gaze remained as still as a deep forest lake, betraying no hint of the turmoil within.

Her ironclad composure was honed by Avery's rigorous training. Now she had to use it against him.

When Elsie remained silent, Avery's lips curled into a sinister smirk as he closed the distance between them step by step.

Suddenly, with lightning speed, Avery drew a gun from behind his back, pressing the cold, menacing barrel against Elsie's sweat-drenched forehead.

"Mr. Chambers!" Harvey, who had been standing nearby, paled, his heart pounding violently in his throat.

"Elsie, are you the rat? Answer me!" Avery's eyes were dark and threatening as

he demanded a response, each word laced with intensity.

Elsie met his bloodthirsty gaze without flinching.

Silence.

"Answer me!" Avery's hand, gripping the gun, was knotted with veins as he roared.

"It's me."

Elsie knew there was no turning back.

Avery wasn't seeking a confession with the gun to her head; he already knew she was the informant.

He was driven by his cruel and sadistic nature, wanting to witness the woman he raised, the woman he molded in Evadne's image, beg for mercy before him.

He despised her, relishing the pleasure tormenting her brought.

He was a complete psychopath, a despicable madman!

Elsie's trembling gaze hardened with resolve, confronting Avery's crimson eyes,

"Yes, it was me. I revealed Marilla's whereabouts to Lily. There's no use in explaining now. Do what you will."

She was done.

If she were to die now, at least it would be a release.

But it meant she would never again see those bright, joyous eyes.

Avery's already pale face turned ashen, the hand holding the gun trembled, his chest heaving rapidly.

He disengaged the safety, and Elsie's heartbeat ceased at that moment, she closed her eyes in despair.
