Chapter 674

The chill in Elvis‘ voice sent shivers down Arnold and Aaron’s spines.

Elvis could be as cold as ice when he wanted to, reminiscent of a man who had mastered the art of emotional detachment. You only had to look at his nomadic lifestyle and the lingering grudge he held against Emeric to understand his stubbornness and the hardness of his heart.

“Elvis, there’s no need to be so harsh,” Arnold chided.

Unexpectedly, Evadne shook her head with a serene expression, “As long as she is truly remorseful and willing to break free from Avery’s manipulation, to turn over a new leaf and side with justice, I won’t make things difficult for her.”

Elvis looked taken aback, “Evadne, you mean?”

“If she’s ready to switch sides and even follow me, I’d gladly welcome her and find her a position at a subsidiary company of the K Group. She doesn’t have to continue her days at the Velvet Haven, living a life of dim lights and forced smiles.”

At these words, even Thaddeus was surprised, “Evadne, do you really mean that?”

Arnold frowned, “Although that woman helped our youngest and provided us with evidence, who’s to say this isn’t a setup by Snaky Avery, to win our trust and have her as a double agent?”

“If that was the case,” Evadne replied, “she would have caused a bigger commotion that night when Elvis sneaked into the Velvet Haven. She would have come to his aid under the guise of helping, thus indebting him even further.”

“She isn’t trying to win Elvis‘ trust. Her actions were truly intended to ensure his safe exit and to provide him with evidence against Matthew as the best way to resolve the situation.”

With that, Evadne’s eyes gleamed with a certain intrigue as she looked at Elvis, “What Elsie offered Elvis was a token of her sincerity, and a card in Avery’s hand. If it was mere flattery, why take such a risk?”

Elvis‘ expression remained impassive, but his eyes briefly betrayed a complex emotion that was almost imperceptible.

Aaron, perusing the documents again, asked in confusion, “These pieces of evidence were nearly all gathered. With the power struggles within the Chambers Group now public knowledge, why hasn’t Avery played this hand to take down Matthew?”

“Exactly,” Thaddeus interjected coldly, “as Evadne said, it’s a card Avery holds close. Matthew still has a stake in the Chambers Group, and that’s the leverage Avery wants to use. He’s waiting for the right moment to force Matthew to cede his shares to him, just as he did with Byron.”

Evadne raised her face to look at Thaddeus. Her smiling eyes were full of affection.

“Damn it! Those bastards rely on the power they have won by drilling for these filthy ways. No matter how high they stand, they are still despicable!” Arnold gave a hard bah.

“So, we must not let Snakey Avery be satisfied.”

Evadne’s jaw slightly raised, revealing a charming smile that was bound to be won. “We really have to take care of Matthew, not only to avenge Cassius, but also to make this card in Avery’s hand become a useless card that can’t be played. We have to bring him a trouble that he himself caused.”

Thaddeus‘ hand caressed her waist, entranced by her proud profile, “Evadne, whatever decision you make, I’m with you, no questions asked.”

Arnold patted Elvis on the shoulder with a meaningful look, “For the sake of our revenge, we’ll need you to keep up the charm.”

Elvis‘ intense gaze softened, and with a cryptic smile, he turned and left.
