His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 626

Chapter 626

Bevis felt like his niece Evadne had clamped onto his jugular with her sharp tongue, the pent-up rage in his chest threatening to burst forth like an erupting volcano.

Thaddeus had a warm glow in his heart, seeing her stand up for him, but he didn’t let it go to his head. He still looked at Evadne with concern, gently squeezing her hand as a signal to hold back in front of Emeric.

“Evadne, that’s enough,” Emeric’s face darkened as he spoke.

“Uncle Bevis, I thought you’d turned over a new leaf when you came with such fanfare to visit my dad today.”

Evadne’s lips curled with a cold sarcasm. “But as it turns out, you came to settle scores. You made a mess, and my dad got sick trying to clean it up for you. If everything is going to be wrong regardless, might as well go all in. Why don’t you pay back that five million you owe? For someone of your stature, that shouldn’t be a penny short.”

Evadne’s words were a vindication for the Ashbourne family. She had thrown Bevis’ grandstanding right back in his face!

Bevis’ mouth twitched uncontrollably, his rage searing through his hair as if about to catch alight.

“Evadne!”

Emeric was overcome with fury, his head throbbing with pain, his hands shaking uncontrollably beneath the covers.

“Evadne, stop. Mr. Emeric doesn’t look good!” Thaddeus noticed Emeric’s pallor and whispered urgently to her.

Bevis, seeing his chance, suddenly burst into tears, heedless of his image.

“Emeric, my heart aches! I have no dignity left as an elder. I might as well be dead!”
