Chapter 529

Byron’s gaze burned into Avery’s face, a masterclass of innocence and kindness, as the rage roiled within him, threatening to blow the top of his head off!

Just as he was about to explode, Matthew shot him a look that cooled the fire in his veins. That icy glare was a slap of sobriety-

On the drive over, Matthew had suggested that Evadne wasn’t the one behind their recent troubles.

“If Evadne wanted to mess with you, she would have done it when her sister was being pushed around by you, not waited until now. And besides you and me, there’s only one other person who knows your dirty laundry in such excruciating detail.”

“Who is it? Who’s trying to screw me over? I’ll grind their bones to dust!”

“Bertha.”

“Right. Damn straight! Ungrateful snake! She must’ve ratted me out to get her sentence reduced! Just you wait till I send someone to take care of her!”

“Even if she knows your business and snitched on you, what can she do from behind bars? There’s no way the cops could’ve gotten such direct evidence without help. Clearly, someone’s working with her from the outside, helping her get her revenge on you”

“Who? Who is it?” Byron was a broken record of fury and frustration.

“Who else? I’ve checked Bertha’s visitor logs. Only Avery has seen her lately! But he’s currently the golden boy in Dad’s eyes, so a head–on confrontation won’t do us any good. We need to regain our standing in Dad’s heart first. Lay low, then find the perfect chance to take him down!”

“God bless the Chambers family! All my boys are right here with me!” Jeff’s voice was thick with emotion as he wrapped his arms around Byron and Avery, reveling in the joy of reunion, eyes misty with tears. “From now on, we must all stick together for the sake of the Chambers legacy. No more troubles, you hear? Matthew, you’ve worked hard, but Avery you’ve also been Instrumental. The stock market’s steady, and the Helgen project’s on track. So I’ve been thinking.

“Dad, on top of the good news today, I’ve got another surprise for you.” Matthew’s pride was palpable as he interrupted.

Avery’s eyes narrowed, a shadow of malice flickered over his features, but he remained silent.

“What’s that, Matthew? More good news? Spill it! Jeff was in such high spirits that a little rudeness was easily overlooked.

“Bring it in.”

At Matthew’s command, the waiting secretary came in with a file and handed it respectfully to Mr. Jeff.

Jeff took the file with a puzzled look, then his eyes lit up as he burst into laughter.
