His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 771

Chapter 771

That night, The Velvet Haven was abuzz with whispers and shadowy movements.

Elsie guided Hans through the dimly lit, opulent corridors of the establishment. The man trailing behind her was as silent and foreboding as a bat in the night, sending shivers up her spine

In a highly discreet room, Avery had been waiting for some time.

“Hans, I didn’t expect to see you again so soon,” Avery said, his smile spreading across his face as he handed Hans a glass of fine red wine. “You must be weary from your journey. I’ve prepared this top–shelf vintage especially for you.”

“Have you developed a soft spot for the fairer sex?” Avery teased, swirling the wine in his glass with elegant fingers. “It seems you’re not as cold–hearted as I thought, still capable of human sentiment.”

“I simply find it beneath me. The tasks you set for me are degrading.” Hans replied sharply, his words laced with an edge. “Sir appointed you to oversee Elmsworth, and all you can do to fend off enemies is.to kidnap their wives and children and seek outside help?

Elsie’s eyelashes fluttered with a strange sense of satisfaction.

Inside The Velvet Haven, no one dared to speak to Mr. Chambers with such insolence.

But Hans didn’t care. He was Sir’s man and only followed Sir’s orders.

You just need to cooperate. And I didn’t say my target this time is that young girl; she’s just a decoy. I know the previous tasks were too simple, lacking challenge, and I apologize for underutilizing someone of your talents, Hans. This time, I’ve found you a new target that I
