Chapter 968

Avery's forehead was beaded with sweat, his heart pounding heavily, as he waited anxiously.

The unmistakable voice of Chad Abernathy was clear and melodious, a low chuckle escaping his throat.

"All of this, I owe to your strategy, Mr. Chambers. Without it, I couldn't have smoothly brought Evadne to my side."

Avery's deep eyes sparkled with excitement, yet his voice was dry, filled with remorse, "But, I fear I can never return to Elmsworth.

"However, this time, you've secured Ms. Evadne, taking away my brother's true love, as good as taking his life."

Chad laughed heartily, "I consider your debt repaid."

"Thank you... Thank Mr. Chambers for your forgiveness, thank you for making this happen for us!" Avery's tense body relaxed instantly, a bead of sweat trailing down his pale cheek.
