Chapter 528

“It’s no secret that Ms. Evadne has always been a beacon of integrity,” Matthew’s words cut through the room like a knife, “Would she lift a finger to operate on my brother if he were the monster everyone claims? That would make her an accomplice to his crimes, wouldn’t it?”

“Thaddeus, don’t get too worked up over this,” she soothed, her voice a soft lullaby against his rage, “He’s just a lowly cur, barking from the safety of his screen. I don’t give a damn, and neither should you”

“How can i not?” Thaddeus’s breath was erratic, his fists trembling within her gentle grasp, “Byron suffered because of him, and I’ll make sure Matthew pays double.”
