His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 660

Night fell.

Avery, the ever-dutiful, had come to share a dinner with his father Jeff.

The dining hall once filled with laughter and chatter, was now hauntingly silent save for the two of them.

During the meal, Avery relayed the latest gossip about the Ashbourne family to Jeff.

The old man slapped his thigh gleefully. "Haha! So that's why Emeric's been missing all the events! Turns out he’s sick enough to be in the ICU!"

He used to brag about his iron constitution. Well, wasn't this a kick in the teeth? With all those women in his room every day, who wouldn’t be worn out?"

Avery lowered his lashes and drank water.

"My good son, you've brought me some great news!"

Jeff chuckled, making a toast across the space. "With Emeric out of the picture, the Ashbourne family and the K Group must be in chaos, trying to keep up appearances. And if Cassius goes down too, the K Group would be without a leader. Oh, it'll be our time to retaliate and settle old scores!"

Just then, a voice sliced through the quiet.

"Dad! The Chambers Group's big break is finally here!"

Matthew, who had been absent for a long time, stormed into the dining hall, his lips twitching with poorly concealed excitement.

"What are you up to now, Matthew?"

Having completely lost trust, Jeff waved him off impatiently. "I've told you, don’t meddle in the Chambers Group affairs anymore. Avery is enough. And, have you packed yet? Didn’t I tell you to take over the branch overseas as soon as possible? When are you planning to leave?"

Each question was a clear dismissal.

Matthew's eyes burned red with resentment, his gaze flicking spitefully over Avery's calm demeanor!

He had no intention of going abroad to chew on dried mangoes. He was determined to stay and turn the tides!

"Dad, if I heard right, you want Cassius to fall?"

Matthew sneered menacingly. "I have a way to bring Cassius down fast, to drag him from his pedestal."

"You? With what?" Jeff scoffed, his disdain palpable.

"I know a secret, one that could rock the nation, enough to ruin Cassius' reputation and destroy his future!"
