His Ex wife is a billionaire Chapter 672

    <b>Chapter </b><b>672 </b>


    Avery stormed into his room, his temper ring like a wildfire. With a heavy pour of bourbon, he tried to drown his fury<b>, </b>the burn of the alcohol providing a small sce.


    “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 hisst 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 gazended 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’spany, 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 escting,” he exined.


    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 sses won’t bleed me. But you, putting yourself out there with that face? It couldplicate 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.”


    Taking a deep breath like a rose wilting in the frost, Elsie spoke softly, “Mr. Avery, the value of my resemnce to Ms. Evadne is gone. Wearing this face now only brings you trouble. Maybe it’s time I revert to my own look, be myself again. Please<b>?</b><b>” </b>


    Harvey gasped in horror. What was Elsie thinking? Was she out of her mind?


    Avery’s predatory steps closed the distance between them, his gaze turning icy, “What did you say? Repeat that.”


    “I want to look like myself again,” Elsie managed, her eyes glistening with unshed tears as she felt Avery’s fingers tighten painfully on her jaw.


    “How dare you even suggest such a thing? The fact that you look like Evadne is a stroke of fortune for you. You ought to be grateful, to appreciate that her face gives you more value than your own ever could. And now you have the audacity to tell me you don’t want it anymore?” His voice wasced with menace.


    Just then<b>, </b>a knock at the door interrupted the tension. Avery released Elsie, leaving a stark red Lionel on her jaw as he turned


    <b>away</b>.


    Harvey opened the door to one of the security guards who reported a neatly cut break <b>in </b>the window of room A015 on the fifth <b>floor</b>, suggesting an intruder’s handiwork.


    <b>Sweat </b>beaded on Elsie’s forehead as her heart raced.


    <b>“</b><b>What </b>the <b>hell </b><b>are </b>you all doing <b>that </b><b>you </b>just noticed this now?” Harvey eximed in shock.


    “<b>Did </b>you check the cameras<b>?</b><b>” </b><b>Avery </b>asked <b>coolly</b>.


    “Yes, <b>but </b>we <b>didn’t </b>catch the intruder on tape.”


    “That’s impossible<b>!</b><b>” </b>Harvey blurted <b>out</b>, knowing the Velvet Haven’s security system was more densely popted <b>with </b>cameras <b>than </b><b>a </b>beehive <b>with </b>holes.


    “<b>Sorry</b><b>, </b><b>Mr. </b><b>Avery</b>. <b>I’ve </b>been preupied with trivial matters <b>tonight</b>. I <b>didn’t </b><b>notice </b>anyone. Please<b>, </b><b>punish </b>me <b>as </b>you <b>see </b><b>fit</b>,” Elsie said <b>quickly</b>, bowing her head<b>, </b>fearful <b>of </b>giving <b>herself </b>away <b>with </b><b>her </b>expressions.


    “Hmm, a skilled <b>thief</b><b>, </b>interesting<b>,” </b>Avery mused, reclining <b>on </b>the couch, his long legs crossed.


    “I know of one such person<b>. </b>You know him too, <b>Elsie</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>


    “<b>Who</b>?”


    “The very <b>man </b>you’ve <b>been </b>eager to eliminate for me<b>.” </b>


    Elsie’splexion turned ashen, <b>her </b>heart <b>feeling </b>drained of <b>its </b>vigor.


    “Could it really be such a coincidence?” she murmured<b>, </b>trying <b>to </b>steady <b>her </b>trembling voice.


    “Perhaps not so coincidental if you dare <b>to </b>imagine<b>,</b>” Avery said<b>, </b>tapping a <b>rhythm </b>on his knee. <b>“</b>Matthew here enjoying himself might have pushed our friend to take matters into his own hands, unwilling to wait for Evadne. It’s possible he came to deal <b>with </b>
