His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 857

His words brought the atmosphere in the hallway plummeted to freezing, making it feel as though they had already stepped into the morgue.

Facing Avery's unabashed and shameless confession, Evadne felt nothing but repulsion.

Her gaze towards the man was icy and filled with loathing, as if she were staring at a grotesque monster.

"Well, Mr. Chambers, I'm almost embarrassed just listening to what you're saying."

Arnold, ever blunt and genuine, had no tolerate for this brute. "Time and again, you've targeted my brother-in-law to reach Evadne. Do you think your actions have gone unnoticed?"

Each mention of "brother-in-law" by Arnold caused Avery's face to darken visibly.

"Enough, young man. Keep your petty jealousies to yourself. As the gentleman my brother-in-law is, he forgives you, so we might as well leave it at that.

But what you did to my father before, don't think that we, the Ashbourne family, have forgotten!"

The more Arnold thought about it, the angrier he became. His eyes ablaze with anger, and the veins on his neck throbbed, "When my father fell ill, you brought medicine under the pretense of helping. But what the hell did you actually give him? His condition worsened after taking it. Dare you say you had no ulterior motive?

Just because my father didn't support for your relationship with Evadne, you've held a grudge and sought revenge, exploiting his illness, haven't you? Do you see the Ashbourne family as pushovers?"

Arnold had been holding it in for too long, and now that he saw Avery himself, he didn't hold back anymore.

The Brights also glared at Avery, sharing the same resentment.

Normally, Cassius would have intervened when his younger brother caused a commotion.

But this time, he chose to remain silent.
