Chapter 709

In a flash, the spotlight was on Matthew, and all eyes were on him.

Cowering in Avery’s embrace, Mr. Camille Chambers fixed her gaze on Chris, her eyes a chaotic swirl of red veins, her body convulsing at the brink of collapse.

Despite her often being lost in a fog of illness, the sight of the man who had brought her such shame all those years ago ignited a deep–seated rage within her.

Evadne’s heart ached for Mrs. Camille Chambers. Regardless of Avery’s sins, Mrs. Camille Chambers was an innocent bystander. Yet their differing loyalties prevented Evadne from offering even the smallest comfort to this pitiable woman. She wouldn’t give Avery the satisfaction – not even the chance to misinterpret her actions.

Jeff, still oblivious to the unfolding drama, looked at Avery in astonishment, “Avery, why have you dragged this guy here?” “Matthew, do you want to confess to dad what happened fifteen years ago, or shall I do the honors?” Avery’s cold eyes were like dark storms as they fixed on Matthew.

“Avery, you’re really laying it on thick now with your theatrics.” Matthew’s heart pounded but his face was a mask of disdain, refusing to admit, “I don’t even know this person. And it’s been fifteen years – dad himself has forgotten about this guy, and here you are, finding some third–rate actor form who knows where, claiming he was dad’s bodyguard. Come on, if you’re going to fabricate evidence, at least make it believable.”

“Fifteen years, you say?” Avery’s lips twisted into a sardonic smile, “I haven’t even mentioned what the incident was, and yet you know it’s been that long. Seems you remember quite well.”

Matthew felt a vice grip his chest, but he was done arguing. Grinding his teeth in fury, he shouted, “Someone throw this unknown man out!”

Just as the Chambers Group’s security detail was about to step forward, Chris lunged at Matthew, his voice a raw, desperate shout, “Matthew! I’m in this hellish state because of you! You were the one who ordered me to seduce Mrs. Camille Chambers, and when she wouldn’t play along, you hired thugs to drug her and take her to a motel. You forced me into staging a scene to make it look like we had slept together, then you sent those indecent photos to Mr. Jeff Chambers!”

The explosive revelation sent shockwaves through the room.

Jeff’s mind reeled, darkness creeping at the edges of his vision – this sordid scandal he thought buried in the past had resurfaced like a stormy sea.

“Stop talking!” Mrs. Camille Chambers clutched her head, a wail of anguish tearing from her throat.
