Chapter 895

Jason tried to push aside his longing for his darling wife and got back to work:

"Ever since we hit up Boston, Wayne hasn't even been home. He's essentially living at the office. Sends his guys out for groceries and everything. It's like he's cut off from the world."

Evadne's eyes darkened thoughtfully, "He hasn't even visited his wife?"

"Not once."

Jason frowned in disbelief, "The more I think about it, the weirder it gets."

Evadne twirled her pen, her gaze unreadable, "Not weird at all. Wayne's sharp. He knows he's in dangerous waters. Any wrong move could be fatal."

Jason gasped, "President Ashbourne, you mean?"

"Snakey Avery might be laying a trap for him as we speak."

Evadne's grip on her pen tightened, whitening her knuckles, "Perhaps he already tried once, but Wayne dodged it. That's why he's on high alert, staying behind closed doors.

And there's no safer place than the police station. Even Avery, with all his cunning, wouldn't dare strike there. That'd be walking right into a lion's den."

Jason's heart clenched, "President Ashbourne, we can't let anything happen to Wayne. He's our key to taking down Avery! It sounds like Avery's out for blood."

"But if he just hides out, Avery can't touch him, and we can't get to Avery either."

Evadne interlaced her fingers, resting her chin thoughtfully on them, her gaze deepening, "So, we need Wayne to step out from behind those police station doors."

Jason scratched his head, confused, "But President Ashbourne, wouldn't that just give Snakey Avery his chance?"

"I'm on the same playing field as he is. If he sees an opportunity, so do I."

Evadne's eyes warmed, a smile playing at the corners, "Besides, I trust Thaddeus. Even the slightest chance, he'll seize it firmly."
