His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 672

Avery stormed into his room, his temper flaring like a wildfire. With a heavy pour of bourbon, he tried to drown his fury, the burn of the alcohol providing a small solace.

“Mr. Avery, there’s no reason to get worked up over that fool,” Harvey soothed, attempting to pacify his boss as he watched him pace the room like a caged lion.

“The guy’s on his last leg, a spent force. Whatever dirt he’s got on Cassius, I bet Ms. Evadne’s clever enough to trace it back to him, if she hasn’t already. Just sit tight and wait for the Ashbourne family to make their move and take him out for you.”

“Elsie, what the hell were you thinking?” Avery’s steely gaze landed on Elsie, who was shrinking into the corner of the room:

“You never step foot on the floor without my say–so. What possessed you to show your face at Matthew’s table?”

Elsie began, her voice barely above a whisper.

“Ah, Mr. Avery, here’s the thing,” Harvey chimed in hastily, trying to cover for her. “I checked into it, and it turns out that scumbag Matthew demanded Ms. Archer’s company, specifically. Our guys tried to block him, but he threw a fit, smashing up the VIP lounge and even injured a couple of the girls. Ms. Archer was just trying to prevent things from escalating,” he explained.

Elsie clenched her fists, not daring to meet Avery’s piercing eyes.

“He throws a tantrum, let him,” Avery snarled, “a few broken bottles and glasses won’t bleed me. But you, putting yourself out there with that face? It could complicate things. I’m at a critical point in my standoff with Matthew, and I don’t need you causing me problems. I also don’t take kindly to disobedience. Step out of line again, and there will be consequences.”
