Chapter 546

“We’ve been tight as a drum–no leaks anywhere,” Thaddeus’s eyes darkened with a cool intensity. “Looks like the Chambers Group had their rats planted near those two key witnesses‘ homes, watching their every move like hawks. They caught wind of our visit to Ms. Higgins and panicked, thinking she might flip and testify. That’s why they couldn’t wait to try and silence her.”

“Damn!” Evadne and Gordon cursed in unison.

“Byron’s still locked up downtown; he can’t communicate with the outside world. Who’s doing his dirty work? Could it be Bitch Avery?” Gordon spat with venom.

Evadne shook her head slightly, “Not Snakey Avery. He’s the last one in the Chambers family who wants to see the Chambers family thrive. There’s no way he’d lift a finger to help Byron. It’s got to be someone like Jeff and Matthew.”

“It’s Matthew–it can only be Matthew,” Thaddeus’s eyes glinted sharply as he spoke with certainty.

Evadne’s eyes flickered, and she quickly grasped his hand, “Thaddeus, why are you so sure it’s him?”

“Jeff’s no gangster who kills at the drop of a hat. He’s a businessman, and a successful one knows the value of staying clean. He wouldn’t make a move like this unless it was absolutely necessary. Even if Byron gets convicted, with the Chambers Group pulling strings in the shadows, he’d be out in twelve, thirteen years max. And if it’s the chair, Jeff, as chairman of the group, wouldn’t dirty his hands to save a son, especially one as disappointing as Byron.”

Thaddeus’s calm analysis was irrefutable, “Besides, Byron isn’t his only son. With Matthew and the rising star Avery around, he’s got even less reason to get his hands dirty. But Matthew’s situation is different. Evadne, you know better than anyone the twisted dynamics within the Chambers family.”

thoughts sharpening, “With Avery gaining favor with. Jeff, it’s no wonder Matthew is seething with rage, desperate to regain his father’s approval. Getting Byron off the hook must be his way of presenting a ‘gift‘ to Jeff. And
