Chapter 386

Emeric broke the news to the three ladies, all of whom were quite taken aback. They all wanted to accompany him to visit Evadne, but he insisted on going alone.

After finally persuading the ladies to stay, he sent them back to their homes in Skyrim.

Emeric, followed closely by his secretary Mr. Dylan and a bodyguard, exited the airport and indeed found Avery, standing tall and poised beside a luxury car, waiting for him.

“Mr. Emeric, good to see you.” Avery greeted him with a warm smile and a respectful bow.

After a moment’s consideration, Emeric got into Avery’s car, his bodyguard and secretary following in their own vehicle.

After all, Avery had said he had something to discuss concerning Evadne..

Normally, someone as junior as him wouldn’t even get a chance to meet someone as influential as Emeric, even as the son of Jeff. But if it concerned Evadne, Emeric couldn’t just ignore it.

The luxurious car smoothly set off towards the hospital.

“Mr. Emeric, I’ve been by Evadne’s side these past few days. Her mood has been very unstable, very down.” Avery’s eyes brimmed with sorrow. “I’ve known her for quite some time, but this is the first time I’ve seen her in such pain. If you were to see her, it would cut you to the core. I’m well aware of how much you care for her.”

Emeric felt as if an arrow had pierced his heart, the pain unbearable.

It was common knowledge that among Emeric’s many children, Evadne was his favorite, his most beloved. No one could compare.

It was like someone telling him that his daughter had been wronged, had been hurt. It felt as if his heart was being deep-fried, the agony indescribable!

And Avery knew exactly how to play this.

He knew that Emeric’s fatal weakness was Evadne.

“Avery, tell me, what happened while I was away?” Emeric looked at Avery anxiously. “What kind of trouble has Evadne gotten herself into? Who’s turned my precious daughter into such a state?”

“Mr. Emeric, who else could make a strong girl like Evadne heartbroken?”

Avery clenched his fist, his eyes cold. “Who was it who hurt her, who threw her away with his own hands, and who kept pestering her, breaking her heart over and over?”

“Thaddeus?” Emeric’s thick brows furrowed deeply.

“There’s no one else it could be.”

“Did that rascal have anything to do with Evadne’s car accident?”

Avery adjusted his glasses, his expression solemn. “All I know is that on the day of Evadne’s accident, she went to see Thaddeus. I don’t know what happened between them that would make Evadne so distracted on her way home that she had an accident. The car was totaled, but thankfully she wasn’t seriously injured.”
