Chapter 637

The snarl on Avery’s face was feral, a mask of wolfish malice that he no longer cared to conceal.

To him, Matthew was a defeated underling, barely worthy of attention.

“So your sudden return is all about revenge against the Chambers family?” Matthew raged, his voice reaching a feverish pitch. “You orchestrated the downfall of Byron and Myra? And now, you’re coming after me? You despicable cur!”
