Chapter 657

“Something’s off?” Thaddeus frowned.

“It’s not surprising your brother could get his hands on medication. After all, he’s been entrenched in the country for years. Even getting the William and his son and the Abernathy Group to play ball is as simple as him snapping his fingers.”

Evadne’s pretty face darkened with worry, “But Snakey Avery, how did he get it?”

That question stopped Thaddeus cold.

“Avery’s the abandoned son of the Chambers family. He’s been out in the sticks, building up his network. How could he possibly have connections there?”

The more Evadne thought about it, the more unsettled she became, “You know, I’ve got this crazy theory in my head. I’m starting to think Avery might know your brother. Or at least, he’s met your brother.”

Thaddeus was about to blurt out “How could that be?” But he immediately remembered that woman named Alexia, the one who carried the same scent as Avery. Although it was a stretch to conclude they knew each other based on that alone, the suspicion hung in her mind like a stubborn ghost.

Suddenly, a frantic knock on the door broke the tense silence! They exchanged a glance and hurried to answer it.

Standing there was Emeric’s other executive assistant, not Dylan, but a trusted aide nonetheless.

“Ms. Ashbourne! There’s been an incident!” The secretary was frantic, his face slick with sweat.

Evadne’s heart skipped a beat, “Is it my father?!”
