His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 336

Byron’s face quickly turned from rosy, to a sickly green upon hearing the words.

The crowd was left in shock.

Mr. Avery was quite bold and provocative with his words.

Guests began to chatter among themselves.

“Seems like there’s some bad blood between the two Chambers brothers.”

“Bad blood? More like a full–blown feud!”

“Did Mr. Avery just claim that the horse was his? Did Byron just make use of his younger brother’s property without giving a heads up?”

“That’s not quite right, is it?”

The murmurs reached Byron’s ears and he clenched his teeth, barely holding his anger in check. “Avery, it’s just a horse. Was it necessary to make such a scene?” He retorted coldly,

“Absolutely.”

Avery’s chilling reply was as piercing as his sharp gaze, “If it were just a horse, I wouldn’t mind. But you’ve laid your hands on the gift meant for Miss Evadne before she even had a chance to see it. Do you find that appropriate?”

Evadne, her eyes still wide with excitement over the sight of the prized horse, was taken aback by his words.

“Byron, have you lost all sense of decency over the years?”

Avery didn’t hold back from mocking him, not caring about the fact that they were brothers, “Didn’t our father ever teach you that taking someone else’s belongings without permission is rude?”

Byron felt like he had been slapped across the face, his composure slipping away.

He could handle the slight embarrassment over the horses. But with Evadne present, the humiliation was magnified a thousand–fold, his heart pounding wildly in his chest, his blood seething with a rage that threatened to consume him.

“If the horse was meant for Miss Evadne, why was it tied up here? I assumed it belonged to the Chambers‘ stables and as a Chambers, I have every right to lead it.”

Avery adjusted his glasses, a smirk playing on his lips, “So if you’re tied up here, does that mean I can lead you away too?”

“You!”

Laughter erupted from the crowd, making Byron’s face grow even redder with anger. He took a step forward, his fists clenched. If it weren’t for his secretary holding him back, he would have lunged at Avery in a heartbeat.

“Let it go, Avery. It’s a trivial matter, there’s no need to spoil the mood over this.”

Evadne gently touched Avery’s arm, her voice soft, “We shouldn’t disrupt Byron’s gathering. Let’s go somewhere else.”

“Alright.”
