Chapter 292

That voice was so painfully familiar.

Like a dagger, it pierced right through Thaddeus‘ chest!

Roused from her reverie, Evadne felt a tight squeeze in her heart, as if she’d been caught in the act of some mischief. With all her strength, she wriggled free from Thaddeus‘ oppressive hold, spinning around to give him a forceful shove.

Thaddeus‘ heart sank and he staggered back.

All that was left in his arms was the icy chill of the air, a desolate emptiness.

“Mr. Avery, what are you doing here?” Evadne tried to settle her erratic breathing but couldn’t hide the panic in her eyes,

Beneath his grey suit, Avery’s body was trembling ever so slightly, a hatred so intense hidden beneath the surface.

He adjusted his gold–rimmed glasses, his gaze upon Thaddeus filled with unbridled fury.

It was fleeting, but Thaddeus noticed. His starry eyes narrowed, a bloodthirsty dominance kindling within them.

When it came to intimidation, Thaddeus had never been bested.

Evadne noticed Thaddeus‘ hardened gaze and she felt as if he was about to rip Avery apart!

“Evadne! Are you okay?

Avery quickly moved closer to Evadne, his concerned gaze softening as he lowered his voice, “Are you okay? Do you need help?”

“No, I’m fine.” Evadne, her forehead slick with sweat, managed a smile at him.

Thaddeus was so consumed by jealousy that his eyes were practically aflame.
