His Ex wife is a billionaire Chapter 714

    <b>Chapter </b><b>714 </b>


    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 Chambein Foundation, a so–called benevolent fund under the Chambers Group umbre. 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 chargebined with slickwyers and corporate maneuvering would have Matthew walking free in seven to eight years.


    But no one saw thising! Five days into Matthew’s detention, new evidence


    surfaced with the police.


    Simultaneously, the aplice previously mentioned by Elva – who had helped Matthew dispose of a b*dy and had witnessed the whole tragic incident – had a crisis of conscience and turned himself in,ying 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<b>, </b>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 nned, 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 nned to trade those incriminating documents for Matthew’s shares in thepany. With those, I would surpass Jeff and take control of thepany. 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 thepany 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 d*rty. Now, it


    seemed he had shot himself in the foot!


    Evadne had mocked him<b>, </b>saying one couldn’t have more than they deserve.


    After <b>all </b>the hardships he and his mother had endured to w their way back into the Chambers Group<b>, </b>after <b>all </b>the humiliations and careful nning to reim what was his, why couldn’t he <b>have </b>it all? He deserved the <b>best </b>of everything! Including her.


    Harvey<b>, </b>daring not <b>to </b>even breathe, began to sweat profusely.


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


    <b>“</b><b>By </b>the <b>way</b><b>, </b><b>has </b>Elsie <b>made </b>any movestely<b>?</b><b>” </b>Avery suddenly asked<b>, </b>his voice icy.


    “Ms. Archer has <b>been </b><b>at </b>the <b>Velvet </b>Haven from dusk till dawn<b>, </b>nothing unusual beyond her daily <b>tasks</b><b>,</b><b>” </b>Harvey responded hastily.


    “She’s been working by my side <b>for </b>a long time. Give her an extended vacation.” <b>Avery </b><b>suggested </b>nonchntly, <b>his </b>long finger tapping <b>the </b>desk, <b>“</b>If I keep <b>her </b>under constant surveince, how can she meet the people she wants <b>to</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>


    Harvey’s heart skipped <b>a </b><b>beat</b><b>, </b><b>“</b>Mr. Chambers<b>, </b>are you suggesting Ms. Archer is a <b>mole</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>


    Avery gave him a chilling look, <b>“</b><b>If </b>not her<b>, </b>should I suspect you<b>?</b><b>” </b>


    Harvey was at a loss for words, struggling <b>to </b>speak, “But Ms. Archer <b>has </b>been <b>with </b>you for years<b>, </b><b>utterly </b><b>devoted</b>. She’s never failed in <b>any </b>task you’ve given her. <b>To </b>suspect her <b>of </b>betrayal, honestly<b>, </b><b>from </b>years of camaraderie, I <b>can’t </b><b>believe </b>she’d do such a thing‘


    “Devoted <b>to </b>me<b>?</b><b>” </b>Avery raised <b>an </b>eyebrow, his gaze turning <b>frosty</b><b>, </b><b>“</b>Don’t insult me. Who does she think she <b>is</b><b>? </b>Even Elvis, Evadne’s own brother, the Mr. <b>Avery </b>Ashbourne of the Ashbourne family, is out of her league. Does she not <b>know </b>her ce<b>? </b><b>I </b>want to see if Elsie will <b>help </b>me take out Elvis. If she can’t, I <b>can’t </b>guarantee humane treatment for <b>her under </b><b>my </b>roof.”

    Harvey was stunned. So, Mr. Chambein was keeping Elsie around just to use her to eliminate Elvis. Some suspicions, once rooted, never get overturned.


    Just then, Harvey’s phone vibrated. He answered immediately, his face paling in an instant.


    “What is it?” Avery demanded.


    <b>“</b>Mr. Avery Chambers<b>, </b>I just got word that Mr. Jeff Chambers sentwyers and a secretary for a secret half–hour meeting with Matthew at the detention center!”


    Harvey was anxious, “Could Matthew have transferred the shares?”


    “Get the car! To Elmsworth Hospital!” Avery’s eyes shed with fury as he stormed out of the office.


    Meanwhile, over at Silveke Harbor.


    Evadne stood before the full–length mirror, dressed in a sleek ck suit, her raven hair cascading over her shoulders and her l*ps a bold red. The reflection showed more than just a woman; it was an embodiment of quiet authority and determination, an unusual resolve etched into her delicate features.


    Today was the day she would officially step into the spotlight as President K at the board meeting.


    It signified the dawn of a new era for the K Group, and with it, the battle drums of corporate warfare were sounding.


    “How’s mydy feeling? Nervous?<b>” </b>Thaddeus‘ brawny arms wrapped around her slender waist from behind, his warm l*ps teasing the wless skin of her n*eck with feigned casualness.


    Evadne squirmed in his embrace<b>, </b>tickled by his k*sses. The formidable persona she’d worked so hard to craft was crumbling under his yful advances, “How could I not be tense? Those old foxes on the board are probably plotting their moves to try and intimidate me.”


    “Don’t worry, I’ve got your back.” Thaddeus nuzzled her n*eck and nted k*sses on her soft skin, his voice husky with reassurance, <b>“</b>Come back to me if they give you any trouble. I’ll be your knight in shining armor<b>.” </b>


    “Knight <b>in </b>shining armor? I’d be lucky if you didn’t leave my back sore from your own ‘chivalry‘,” Evadne replied with a bashful nce downward, her voice slightly husky.


    The night before, Thaddeus had been insatiable, exploring new heights of passion with an intensity they had never ventured into before. She felt both embarrassed and utterly lost in the depths of their intimacy.


    O


    This morning, she was too weak to even get out of bed. It was he who had carried her to the shower for a bath. And, inevitably, they had been swept up in a wave of desire once again.


    She shouldn’t have brought it up. Now, Thaddeus seemed revved up once more, his eyes darkening with desire as his hand slowly climbed higher, unbuttoning the top two buttons of her blouse.


    <b>“</b>No, we can’t,” Evadne covered his hand with hers, her b*dy trembling slightly under his imposing presence down.


    “The meeting is still a ways off.” Thaddeus whispered huskily, nibbling her flushed earlobe as he seduced her, <b>“</b>I’ll be gentle. I won’t let you exert yourself at all. Evadne, let me take care of you one more time, please?<b>” </b>
