His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 346

Emeric and Cassius‘ were not at home tonight. They were out of the country, negotiating some deals. The house was mostly filled with women.

Avery wasn’t exactly a stranger in the house, and given the late hour and the fact that Myra had had an accident, she didn’t want to disturb the family. So, Evadne took Avery to the living room.

Little did she expect to find Debby there, sipping on a cup of coffee alone.

“Debby, you’re still up.”

Evadne was somewhat surprised, then turned to introduce Avery, “Oh, this is my friend.”

“Mr. Avery. I remember him from Myra’s birthday party”

Debby placed her coffee cup down with elegance and gave Avery a slight smile. Evadne has never had a male friend apart from her brothers. Mr. Chambers, you’re the first.”

“It’s an honor to be chosen as her friend.”

Avery’s deep eyes were filled with sincerity and a hint of a smile, “And it’s even more of an honor to have a private meeting with the future First Lady of Helgen.”

Evadne, taken aback, hadn’t expected him to say that:

Debby, with a placid expression, responded, “I’m just Evadne’s sister, and my husband is just a common member of the Helgen parliament. Your words are more than I can bear.”

Avery merely curved his lips in response, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

“Evadne, I’ll leave you to entertain your guest: I won’t disturb you.” Debby slowly stood up and left the room.

Even though Evadne was smiling, she could feel something was off between Debby and Avery, but she couldn’t put her finger on it.

Debby stepped out of the living room.

As soon as the door closed, her face turned sombre. She pulled out her phone from her coat pocket and dialed her assistant.

“Have you found anything on what I asked you to look intb?”

“Ma’am, I have. The background check on Avery has been sent to your private email.”

“Understood.”

Since it was late, Avery didn’t stay long.

When they got back to the car, Harvey immediately said with a cheerful laugh, “Mr. Avery, Ms. Evadne’s attitude towards you is getting better and better. She even invited you in for a chat.”

Avery adjusted his glasses, his expression not quite pleased, “Let’s go.”

Evadne had neither accepted his gift nor invited him in of her own accord.

Everything was as it always had been. He was the one making all the effort, the one who was always willing.

Evadne had never taken a step towards him.

“Thaddeus has been completely cast aside by Ms. Evadne. If you look around, there’s no other man more outstanding than you, Mr. Avery. You and Ms. Evadne are bound to end up together!”

Avery, with a light touch, loosened his Windsor knot, asking casually, “So, do you mean I’m not as good as Thaddeus?”

Harvey shivered, almost scared out of his wits, “I would never dare! Please forgive me, Mr. Avery!”

“Evadne might have moved on from Thaddeus, but Thaddeus hasn’t moved on from her. We can’t let our guard down.”

As he spoke, Avery looked out the window, his gaze unreadable.

“By the way, Mr. Avery, the investigation you asked for has made some progress.” Harvey said with a grim face.

“Go on.”
