His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 714

Over the years, Matthew's sins had piled up like a mountain of discarded coffee cups!

One scandal that shook the nation was the exploitation of young women through the Chamberlain Foundation, a so-called benevolent fund under the Chambers Group umbrella. The public outcry was deafening, with the reputation of the Chambers Group shattered beyond repair.

Jeff had indeed assembled a top-notch legal team for his eldest son.

Everyone thought that, despite the litany of charges, the absence of a murder charge combined with slick lawyers and corporate maneuvering would have Matthew walking free in seven to eight years.

But no one saw this coming! Five days into Matthew's detention, new evidence surfaced with the police.

Simultaneously, the accomplice previously mentioned by Elva - who had helped Matthew dispose of a body and had witnessed the whole tragic incident - had a crisis of conscience and turned himself in, laying bare all of Matthew's misdeeds.

Under the pressure of the formidable K Group and Abernathy Group, it seemed that even the once-feared Chambers Group was no longer so intimidating.

Once the favored son and heir to the Chambers Group presidency, Jeff's pride, Matthew was now a fallen man, scorned and spat upon by the masses!

Matthew had always believed he was the smartest of his siblings, yet his downfall was the most tragic of them all.

Watching his most hated adversary crumble, Avery's face was as dark as if he were attending a funeral.

"Mr. Chambers, although things didn't go as you planned, we’ve finally avenge Mrs. Camille Chambers one way or the other. With a murder case on his hands, no matter how much Mr. Jeff Chambers wants to protect him, Matthew won't see the outside of a prison cell again. You should be celebrating," Harvey said soothingly.

"Celebrating? How can I celebrate when I didn't get what I wanted most?" In the office, Avery's eyes scanned the flood of negative online reviews hammering the Chambers Group and the plummeting stock prices.

His gaze was shadowed with coldness, "I planned to trade those incriminating documents for Matthew's shares in the company. With those, I would surpass Jeff and take control of the company. Then, I would expose everything he did to my mother; let public opinion take him down and kick him out of the Chambers Group for good. Not like this. Not with everything falling apart and us both taking damage!"

As the CEO of the Chambers Group, any turmoil within the company meant an endless mess for him to clean up.

He had intended to use Evadne and Thaddeus to eliminate Matthew, reaping the benefits without getting his hands dirty. Now, it seemed he had shot himself in the foot!

Evadne had mocked him, saying one couldn't have more than they deserve.

After all the hardships he and his mother had endured to claw their way back into the Chambers Group, after all the humiliations and careful planning to reclaim what was his, why couldn't he have it all? He deserved the best of everything! Including her.

Harvey, daring not to even breathe, began to sweat profusely.

This debacle was poised to hit the Chambers Group harder than any crisis before. The plummeting stock was just one aspect; navigating the political and business landscape would be treacherous. The days of vying with the Abernathy Group might be coming to an end.

"By the way, has Elsie made any moves lately?" Avery suddenly asked, his voice icy.

"Ms. Archer has been at the Velvet Haven from dusk till dawn, nothing unusual beyond her daily tasks," Harvey responded hastily.

"She's been working by my side for a long time. Give her an extended vacation." Avery suggested nonchalantly, his long finger tapping the desk, "If I keep her under constant surveillance, how can she meet the people she wants to?"
