His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 507

The news of Byron’s arrest was exploding across the nation tonight.

As expected, the only thing that could knock Bertha off the trending searches was another scandal outshining hers.”

But the real tragedy was unfolding within the Chambers family.

The scandal involving the Chambers siblings had pushed the prestigious Chambers family to the brink of disaster. Arrests were one thing, but to have the “bird” fly the “cage” on national television was a spectacle no one could ignore.

Watching the live news, Jeff felt his heart skip a beat, his pallor ghostly as his body slumped backward.

“Dad!”

Matthew hurried forward to catch him, but Avery, closer at hand, beat him to it.

“Dad, sit down and take deep breaths,” Avery urged, guiding Jeff to the couch, then turned to Matthew with an urgent gaze. “Matthew, what are you waiting for? Go call a doctor!”

Matthew, red–faced with anger, looked like he wanted to rip Avery’s tongue out. “You little=”

“Matthew, I know you’ve had your issues with me,

I’ve always avoided confrontation, never stepping on your toes. But with the family in this state and Dad feeling unwell, I’m concerned for his safety, not for arguing with you!” Avery’s tone was anxious, but his steely gaze bore down on Matthew.

Jeff suddenly bellowed with an authority that silenced the room, “Matthew! You spineless, petty man! Get out! Out!”

The atmosphere turned icy, heavy with suppressed emotion.

Matthew clenched his jaw, rage draining the color from his face, his temples throbbing visibly. But with Avery in favor, a direct clash would do him no good. Swallowing his fury, he stormed out.

“Dad, please don’t be so hard on him,” Avery said with feigned gentleness, subtly stoking Jeff’s emotions. “Think about it. He’s been managing the company, looking after our siblings, it hasn’t been easy. With the group in crisis, he’s stretched thin. His frustration is understandable; please don’t blame him.”

“Byron and Bertha are in this mess because of his negligence! He spoiled them!” Jeff clutched his chest, anguished. “Has he ever truly handled a crisis as CEO? I trusted him to keep an eye on Byron and this is what he does? Useless! If Chambers Group’s stocks fall any further, we’re open to a hostile takeover, and then we’re truly in peril!”

“Dad, I’ll handle the company’s issues. You just take care of your health, no more worries.” Avery’s voice was soothing, calming.

“My son, these years I’ve done you wrong. This family can’t survive without you.”
