His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 494

Avery tugged at the corners of his pale lips with a grimace, “So, is that why you found a man who cares about you?”

Elsie felt his mocking laughter pierce her heart like a jagged blade.

“Elvis likes you? Cares about you? Just because he spent one night with you, just because he brought you a box of antacids, you think you’re in his heart?”

Avery released his grip from her neck, instead jabbing a finger against her forehead, “I thought, despite your lowly status, you had a bit of sense in you. But now, it seems you’re utterly worthless. To have Evadne’s face and waste it like this–it’s an insult to her beauty.”

Through her blurring vision, the man she had loved for ten years grew distant and unrecognizable.

Tears of heart–wrenching pain streamed down uncontrolled, but Avery remained indifferent to her sorrow, “Quit your delusions. The Ashbourne men–I know them better than anyone. They’re like me; their hearts belong only to Evadne, they only love Evadne. With your background, and being one of my underlings, do you really think you can catch his eye? Once he knows your true colors, death will be waiting for you.”

Avery pulled a handkerchief from his suit pocket and meticulously wiped the blood from his slender fingers, “Wake up, Elsie. You don’t stand a chance.”

“And what about you_”

With a burst of desperate courage and a smile through blood and tears, Elsie challenged him, “Do you think you are worthy of Evadne. No matter how hard you try, in Evadne’s eyes, it’s always Thaddeus and only Thaddeus.”

Avery’s face twisted as if he’d been sucker–punched, his hands clenching into fists with a terrifying crackle!

“Elsie! Just drop it, will ya? What good does it do you to go head–to–head with Mr. Chambers?”

Harvey, sweating bullets, pleaded earnestly, “Mr. Chambers! Keep your cool, man! You can’t hit her again. You might actually kill her! And what good is a dead person to you? That’s a loss, don’t you think?”

Sure enough, Avery’s sinister expression gradually softened.

Harvey, who was with him day and night, knew too well what he wanted-

Avery was the epitome of refined self–interest. He was only interested in people and things that benefited him.

As long as Elsie had value, he wouldn’t lay a finger on her yet.

At that moment, Avery’s phone rang from his pocket.

He turned away, tossing the handkerchief aside and pulling out his phone. As soon as he saw the name on the screen, his expression shifted dramatically and he answered immediately.

“Mr. Chambers, you must be feeling on top of the world lately.”
