His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 962

The air on the rooftop was icy, as if each breath carried the weight of impending doom.

Harvey's heart pounded like a drum in his chest, his grip on the gun trembling as if he were holding onto the last thread of sanity. He hadn't disengaged the safety, fearful that panic might cause his finger to slip, sending a bullet into the void.

Cornered, with nowhere left to turn, he had never entertained the thought of taking Elsie Archer's life. Even if there was a sliver of hope, he was determined to get Elsie out alive.

He knew all too well that in times of crisis, Avery Chambers would abandon him, possibly even betray him at the last moment. He had prepared for this, confident in his wit and intelligence to escape unscathed, to vanish into thin air.

He wanted to give the woman he loved a wedding, a beautiful beginning, however humble. Even if they were the rats in the sewers, there was still a longing to bask in the sunlight.
