His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 848

Chapter 848

Elsie trailed behind Harvey with an expressionless face; her light clothing was soaked through with cold sweat that dripped relentlessly. Each step felt as if her feet were weighted down with lead.

She recalled the pot of roses that Avery had recently cleared out, and her mind raced through every terrifying possibility associated with it. That pot of roses had been highly valued by Snakey Avery.

The sudden removal, the sudden call-no doubt he had discovered something.

Snapping back to reality, Elsie closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she reopened them, her gaze was fierce and resolute, as if she were walking to her execution.

"Everyone has their time," she thought to herself, “it's just a matter of sooner or later."

Having considered the worst-case scenario, suddenly, she feared nothing.

Elsie was led into a blood-stained basement that had witnessed countless executions.

Several henchmen stood guard at the corners, while in the center, on a plush red velvet sofa, lounged Avery. He was dressed impeccably in a tailored grey suit, his legs casually crossed as he savored a glass of red wine—a stark contrast to the grim surroundings.

"Elsie, I hear you haven't left your room for four days straight. How are you feeling? Rested well?" Avery swirled his wine, his smile inscrutable.

Elsie bit her lower lip, choosing not to respond.

Avery squinted his dark eyes, leisurely adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and beckoned her with a crooked finger: "Ellie, come here."

A shiver ran down Elsie's spine like a poisonous serpent, creeping up her slender calves. But she had no choice but to walk up to the man.

"Ah."

Elsie's body lurched forward as Avery seized her wrist and pulled her into his embrace with a forceful tug.

"You used to go for a more alluring and sexy look, didn't you? I remember you never wore such modest, subdued clothing."

Avery's arms encircled her slim waist, forcing her to sit on his lap, his breath laden
