His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 542

Chapter 542

“What the heck? Beverly was snatched up by Evadne and Thaddeus?”

In the bedroom, Matthew had his reluctant wife, Elva, pinned down on the bed, savagely ripping off her nightgown, ready to fulfill this week’s “duty.”

Ever since Avery climbed to the top and became the apple of their father’s eye, Matthew’s stress skyrocketed. Now, whenever he had the energy, he would force Elva into bed with him, all for the sake of getting her pregnant with the Chambers Group’s heir as quickly as possible.

His father was all about legacy, loved a big bustling family. Being the eldest son, if he could produce the first grandson, he’d have éven more security within the family, an extra chip over Avery!

But, just as he was about to get down to business, an urgent phone call deflated him on the spot, causing him to end hurriedly! “Are you sure? That couple took the girl away?” Matthew rolled out of bed in his birthday suit, scrambling to pull on his pants in a panic, as if he’d been caught in the act.

“Our eyes on the ground report that it was Thaddeus’s secretary Gordon who picked up Beverly. No one else could’ve done it!” The secretary’s voice was laced with urgency, “And they said Beverly didn’t look like she was forced, she seemed to go willingly! Mr. Chambers, you don’t think the girl’s had a change of heart, planning to testify, do you?”

“What do you want me to say? Do I look like I’ve got a psychic hotline to her gut? Sheesh!”

Matthew bellowed in anger, his polished public facade crumbling away, scaring Elva into a shiver.

“What’s the plan, Mr. Chambers?”

Matthew cinched his belt with a vicious glare, “That Beverly, whether she’s switched sides or not, she’s a liability we can’t afford to keep!”

Elva’s eyes widened in fear, her hands clutching the sheets tighter.

The secretary sought confirmation, “You mean take her out?”

“She’s with that evil couple right now, so let’s not spook the horses just yet. We don’t want to draw their attention. It’ll make it harder to make a move.”

Matthew moved to the window, his voice low and dangerous, “Wait until she’s back on her own turf, then find the right moment to act within the next couple of days. The sooner, the better.”

“Got it.”

“And don’t use our own

Matthew’s lips twisted with malice, “Let’s keep it clean. Whoever’s mess it is, they clean it up.”

The call ended, and his mood for love had vanished. He dressed in haste and headed for the door.

“Matthew.” Elva’s voice was timid as she tried to stop him.

“What now?” Matthew snapped, not even giving her a glance.
