Chapter 968

The silence on the other end was unnerving.

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

"Congratulations, Mr. Chambers, for finally winning the heart of the lady, fulfilling your desire."

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.

Sir, I apologize... I failed to clear the path for you, to eliminate opposition, even the trial for the new drug had to be put on hold. I truly am... damned."

"You are indeed, damned," Chad's voice suddenly deepened.

Avery felt as though he was being strangled on the spot, a strong sensation of suffocation making it hard for him to breathe, his back drenched in cold sweat.

"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.
