Chapter 384

Elvis, the corners of his mouth always curled up in that customary rebellious smirk, subtly sized up Avery.

That night at the bar, the woman who bore a striking resemblance to his sister, swiftly left and got into a car belonging to the Chambers family.

The alley was dark and no lights were on in the car. Elvis couldn’t see clearly who the man sitting in it was.

But he was a top agent, his observational and recall abilities were above average. By recognizing the man’s silhouette, he could be seventy percent certain that the man sitting next to Ms. Archer that night was indeed Avery.

“Elvis, a pleasure to finally meet you.” Avery quickly switched to a warm and genial smile, extending his greetings first.

“Oh? You know me?” Elvis raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.

“I’ve been good friends with Evadne since we were kids. My father and Mr. Ashbourne were also close. I used to play at your house a lot when I was a kid.”

Avery spoke in a smooth, unhurried tone, “I know, Mrs, Ashbourne has five kids. Evadne has four older brothers, and Bennett and you take the surname of your mom.” Elvis narrowed his eyes, quietly waiting for him to continue.

“Bennett Waverley, who I’ve met, now serves in the military, But I’ve never met you before.“.

Avery lightly smiled, “It doesn’t matter though. You’re Evadne’s brother. I’ll take you as my brother too.”

“You’ve got a pretty good handle on our family. Seems like you know quite a bit. Elvis tilted his head, looking amused.

“As long as it’s about Evadne, I always hope to know more. It’s out of concern for her.” Avery’s eyes shone with sincerity

Elvis already knew from Arnold that Avery of the Chambers family was ardently pursuing Evadne.

As her older brother, he would of course pay attention to the potential suitors for her. He didn’t want Evadne to be hurt by scumbags again, to repeat the mistakes she made with Thaddeus.

But for some reason, the man in front of him made Elvis feel slightly uncomfortable..

Thaddeus definitely deserved to be blacklisted forever, but Avery didn’t quite meet his expectations either.

Plus that night at the bar.

Although he wasn’t completely certain it was Avery, Elvis still felt somewhat uneasy.”

“Elvis, I heard Evadne had a car accident. I’m really worried about her and I want to see her, is that okay?” Avery took a step forward, his voice filled with urgency. “Well, she’s,”

“Elvis.”

Before Elvis could finish, a sweet voice called out.

He quickly turned around to see Nydia closing the door to the hospital room and walking lightly towards them.

“Did Evadne fall asleep?” Elvis hurriedly asked.

Nydia pressed her lips and shook her head, then looking at Avery, “She vaguely heard Mr. Chambers’s voice. She said if Mr. Chambers came, she’d like to see him.” Upon hearing this, Avery’s eyes brightened.

“Oh, if that’s what Evadne wants, then please go ahead.” Elvis moved out of the way, his tone indifferent.

“Thank you, Elvis.”

Avery still wore a warm, gentle smile as he swiftly walked past Elvis and into the hospital room.

Watching the man enter the room and close the door behind him, Elvis immediately called Nydia over.

“Nydia, exactly what is going on between Mr. Chambers and Evadne?”

“Well, how should I put it? Childhood sweethearts? Innocent playmates?” Nydia put her finger to her lips, her brows slightly furrowed.

“What the heck? Really?!” Elvis was taken aback, his eyes wide with surprise.

“It’s true. They used to stick together all the time in primary school. Back then, Mr. Avery was often bullied by classmates and it was always my sister who came to his rescue. I remember it clearly. Later, Mr. Jeff brought Byron and Avery to our house. From what my mom said, it seemed like he wanted to propose a marriage match for Evadne.”

“Did Emeric agree?” Elvis hurriedly asked.

Nydia lightly shook her head, “No, from what I heard, it seems like dad wasn’t satisfied with Mr. Chambers‘ two sons, so he never agreed. But Mr. Chambers seems determined, as if he’s already decided that my sister is the daughter–in–law of the Chambers family.”

“Ha, he wishes! Evadne is a celestial beauty. To pair her with any son of the Chambers family is a downright waste! Emeric probably thinks the same way, which is why he didn’t agree.”

Elvis pursed his lips, murmuring under his breath, “At least Emeric have some taste.”
