Chapter 341

The screen didn’t display a name, but,a string of digits.

Thaddeus had always had two numbers, one personal and one for business. She remembered them both.

He usually only used his personal phone to call her privately, this time was an oddity.

A knot formed in Evadne’s stomach as she picked up, slowly pressing the phone to her ear, but she didn’t speak.

“Evadne!” Thaddeus‘ voice was hoarse, almost unrecognizable.

Evadne bit her scarlet lip, her eyelashes fluttering slightly.

“Evadne, please believe me. I’ve been framed!”

Thaddeus knew how difficult it was for Evadne to even pick up his call, so he cut to the chase, “This is a trap, a complex one. Edith alone couldn’t have set it up. There’s someone else behind her! And the bait they used wasn’t Edith. It was you!”

“In half an hour.”

Evadne, her eyes shadowed with sorrow, spoke slowly, “Let’s meet at the playground in the park near the K Orld Hotel.”

If she hadn’t received a call from Cassius earlier, Thaddeus wouldn’t have had a chance to speak with her.

Now, she wanted to hear what explanation Thaddeus had for her.

“Mr. Chambers, Ms. Evadne just left the hospital by herself.”

Harvey rushed back to report to Avery, “She was in the restroom for a while. When she left, she looked angrier and paler!”

Avery leaned against the headboard, a smirk playing on his lips.

He thought, “Let her be angry, the angrier, the better. Only intense pain can be effective, just like a bone–scraping treatment, to completely eradicate Thaddeus from her heart!”

“Send someone to follow Ms. Evadne now, and get a car ready for me. I’ll follow her shortly.”

Harvey wanted to dissuade him, but knowing it would be futile, he simply agreed, “I’ll get the car ready, and a new suit for you!“.

“No need for the suit, a patient should look like a patient.”

Avery moved slightly and broke out in a sweat from the pain, his jawline stiffening.

Harvey watched, feeling helpless.

He felt that Avery was truly invested in dealing with Evadne, completely immersed.

But he didn’t understand how such a shrewd person like Avery could be so devastated over love, he was always so competitive, never allowing himself to be at a disadvantage.

But only Avery knew what he was planning.

In love, sometimes having the upper hand wasn’t necessarily a good thing. Sometimes, showing weakness and retreating could bring about surprising results.

Especially since Evadne was such a dominant woman, she had suffered enough under Thaddeus, and he certainly wouldn’t let her suffer anymore. He would give her the pride and dignity she deserved.

At that moment, the phone under his pillow vibrated.

Harvey quickly picked it up and handed it to Avery, “Mr. Chambers, it’s Ms. Elsie

Avery’s eyes darkened as he picked up the phone, “Hello.”

“Mr. Chambers, how’s my business going?”

Elsie’s voice, cheerful yet seductive, rang out, “I sent those pictures to Thaddeus, and he fell for it immediately. He rushed to the hotel, eager to jump into the trap. What a so–called young talent, business genius, all dumb in front of women. Such filthy man is not worthy to be your opponent.”

“Did you send those pictures through text?” Avery asked leisurely.

“Yes.”
