ArFredesigned the contract, weight was lifted off his heart and he sighed with rele

The success of this substantial project had revitalized the company’s more, and some of the lost

prestige had been regained

Back in his office, Frederic couldn’t wait to reconnect with Chad

“Dad, congratulations, you’ve railed yet another significant project partnership”

At this moment, Chad was already in the car on his way back Bows slightly curved, his soft brown eyes

exuded a warm gentleness, and a faint smile, graced his lips

In terms of looks. Chad wasn’t as handsome as Thaddeus, nor as sharp as Jareth, and certainly not as

delicate as Avery

His relaxed and elegant features held unique charm that was approachable and imiting made one want

to know him to be near

Despite his chronic illas that confined him to a wheelchair Chad never wallowed in self–ply. His smile

remained bright, and his gaze deaçit was as it that traumatic kidnapping incident had never happened

“Chad, this partnership was all due to your efforts. I should be thanking you” Frades voice was filed

with admiration and excitement.

“Dad it’s nothing. There’s no need for such formalities between us

Chad said a faint smile on his lips, “Everything I do is for the Abernathy family for the Abemathy Group.

It’s what I should do as One of the Abemillys Hearing this, Frederic was even more touched. He asked

with concem, How are you feeling, son? Is your health better than it was a few years ago?” I’m fine,

Dad. You don’t have to worry about me.”

Til check my schedule in the next few days and by over for a reunion!”

“Dad, there’s no rush to come over

Chad chuckled lightly “Parhaps, we might meet in Elmworth soner than you think.”

“You are coming back? Frederic was stunned hardly daring to believe his own a

“Yes, home is where the heart is. No matter how long I live abroad, it’s not my home. I’m looking

forward to reuniting with my family. And I don’t know how Thaddeus’s been: these years, I really cant

well to see him.”

Although Star Island was not particularly large in Country T, it took up quite a larg this mysterious island

even more eerie, hiding unpredictable dangers

I was covered with dense forests, complex terrain, and the arrival of nightfall made

After much deliberation, Thaddeus and Cassius decided to leave Janeth outside the jungle backup

“What the heck! Why! I’m inching for a fight too! Why am I stuck doing logistics

Jareth who Cassius used to think was quite straightforward and funny, but when it came to critical

moments, he seemed like such a fool

“Do you still want to marry Manillar Thaddeus looked at him throwing a tantrum cxepressionlessly

“Yes! I even dream about it

His Achilles‘ heel was firmly grasped by Thaddeus.

“Alright, you guys be careful too!

After saying this, Thaddeus and Cassius exchanged a glance and in deeper into the forest

The Velvet Haven in Emsworth

Inside a top–tier laurious private room, Avery was having a jovial conversation and toasting with a

military official from Country T.

He had worked together on many projects with this man called Eden since he started his business in

Helgen, and their interests were closely aligned Eden had earned a fortune from their collaborations,

and in turn, he provided Avery with many convenience in Helen and Country T.

Now Avery was a tycoon in felgen, while Eden had been promoted to the rank of Colonel in the Royal

Army

However, their relationship remained largely unknown to outsiders over the years,

Elsie Archer accompanied them throughout, pouring drinks and playing the role of a glamorous

charming bait

As she leaned over the generous cleavage on her chest was tantalizingly visible

Eden was so amused that his mouth went dry and his pulse quickened. He stared intently at her hall–

exposed bat, so much so that he didn’t even notice the wine spiling from his glass

At this moment, the door was knocked and Harvey rushed to Avery’s side, whispering M. Chambers.

Thaddeus and Janeh have antved in Country T. They are now leading team into Star Island it seems

they plan to copture Ward tonight”

“Ch, just the two of them very elegantly sipped his red wine

Harvey looked a bit discomforted. “M. Chambers, should we still proceed as planned? President

A singlin fashed in Avery’s eyes, and gnawing his teeth, heard, Te seen it clearly. The Ashbourne

brothers are of no use to me, they’re just stumbling blocks on my path to getting Evadhe. In that case,

let’s take this opportunity to get rid of them once and for all.”

Hearing this, Harvery broke out in a cold sweat.

Elsie, who was pouring the wine, also trembled slightly, and her lips tightened

Suddenly, the image of Elvis, with his flamboyant handsome face, flashed through her mind.

“Why at these men fussing over Evidne? Mine adoration should be more than enough for ha

“Hahaha! That’s the Mr. Chambers I know! Bold and domino!ke it Eden laughed heartily, clapping his

hands in amusement. “Appreciate the praise, Avery slightly used his chin

“When’s the wedding of you and Ms. Ashbourne I will make sure to bring a generous gir

“Soon, but whether we’ll have this wedding or not depends on whether you, Colonel Eden, would lend

a helping hand”

Avery lifted his lips in a cruel smirk, “I need you to kill to people for me.”

What Eden asked ally.

“Thaddeus, and Cassius, Avery spit out these two names between clenched teeth

Eden was shocked, his plump face trembling, Mr. Chambers, is this some kind of joke? I may be from

the country, but I know who those two are. They’re not to be messed with Especially Cassius, his father

Emeric Ashbourne is the richest man in Skyrim, and they have connections with the royal family. If i

mies with him and it gets traced back to me be in big trouble”

“I’ve got that all covered”

Avery leaned slightly forward, his eyes flashing with a hint of menace, “The people they’re trying to

capture is one of the key personnel under your arme dealer!

“What?” Eden was surprised.

“They aren’t local, yet daring to cause trouble on your turf and creates. I believe the royal family

wouldn’t stand by and watch they would definitely punish them. Instead of waiting for orders from

above, why not take the initiative to get rid of these violent in–dors, these the royal side, and earn some

brownie points?

Eden’s eyes were whirling clearly tempted.

“And besides, they may wield immense power there, but in Country They’re like fish out of water if you

take them out in the chaos and dispose of the bodies in the sea, doubt no one would End out.”

Avery squinted. “You’re the best at this kind of job”

“Hahaha! Mr. Chambers, you’re very meticulous, considering all aspects! But if i help you, how will you

“Moneyland, nome your price.

“I have a desire right now as he spoke. Eden greedily scanned Elsie’s alluring body

The next moment. Avery grabbed her arm and shook violently

Caught off guard, Elsie let out a cry and fall onto Eden, immediately being hard tightly by the strong

man, enduring his nauseating advances.

Avery slowly alond up. wing the room without a backward glance.

“Tonight, she’s yours!

That night, Eden enjoyed fine wine and the woman, left the Velvet Haven with the task Avery act for

Elsie lay on the bed, bruised and battered, like a discarded, broken yet beautiful toy

Her beloved red dress layton to shreds on the floor along with those oply, frightening tools, silently

mocking how pitiful and humiliated she was tonight.

Then the door opened

Familiar footsteps approached, Avery stood by the bed, looking coldly har naked body

“I didn’t expect he had such a fatish, just like my older brother”

Through her disheveled hair falling on her pole face, Elsie looked at the man she had loved for hall har

“You did a good job tonight. Whatever you want, tel Harvey Avery’s

His eyes only burned passionately for Evade all other women were just tools for him to use.

Avery’s expression was indifferent, “Fine, Il get Harvey to buy it for you.”

“This dress was my birthday gift from you two years ago.”

Elsie choked on her words, gldching the sheets tightly her tears silently rolling down her beautiful

cheeks

Avery’s eyes darkened, he nonchalantly lifted the comer of his lips. “Do you know why I gave you a red

dress? Because Evade loves red. So, I love seeing you in red”

Elsie felt a bone chilling cold spread throughout her body her heart ached as if it had been brutally cut

open, her bloody heart torn out by him, ruthlessly trampled and

Knowing the answer would involve Evade, knowing asking would only bring humiliation, but she

couldn’t help but want to ask over and over again, as if she could somehow receive a different answer

“Best well. And you know what you have to do nee, don’t you? You volunteered”

Avery turned to leave Just then, Elsie suddenly rolled of the bed, desperately grabbing his cold hand

“Ave, did you ever have any feelings for me? Ave?

He looked at her his eyes dark and void of light

Elsie was crying. “Not even a Lote ba? Aher all these years or even a tiny bitT

“Do you find your question ridiculous?

Avery forcellly shook off her hand, laughing densively, “I knew you were such a banal woman, I

wouldn’t have saved you back then.”

The door slammed shut and the man left, leaving Elsie naked on the floor, crying her heart out feeling

even more pathetic than her torn dress.

The cold rain on the island lashed against Thaddeus, his steps heavy but determined.

Cassius was walking side by side with him, even though he didn’t show it, he couldn’t help but sigh that

Thaddeus moved too fast!

True to his military background, his years of privilege hadn’t made him slack off or weakened his

physique and will. Whenever needed, he was ready to face battle

Cassius had to admit, apart from himself, Thaddeus might be the only man in the world who could

provide absolute security for his sister.

“What a pity.” He sighed.

“What?” Despite his rapid movement, Thaddeus managed to hear clearly.

Cassius was about to speak when suddenly a violent shake rocked their view! Just as Thaddeus

knocked him to the ground, a hall of bullets whizzed past where he had just been, leaving a horrific trail

of bullet holes in the dirt

Cassius, despite having faced many a critical situation, could not help but break out in a cold sweat! A

second’s difference, and he would have been turned into a sieve. It was Thaddeus who had saved his

lif

“You okay?”

“I’m fine.” Cassius took a deep breath, “Thanks”

“We’re being ambushed. From now on, we can’t afford to let our guard down, Otherwise, Evadne might

lose two close ones in one night Thaddous’s eyes were sharp and vigilant as they scanned the

surroundings

Thanks to the flashlight held by one of his man; visibility was limited but Thaddeus’s keen eyesight and

hearing made the danger lurking in the dark quite apparel

“Mr. Abernathy! President Ashbourne! We’ve b been ambushed! You guys need to The warning from

their charging subordinate was abruptly cut off

A bullet landed squarely in his chest, causing him to collapse to the ground with a thud

A hailstorm of bullets ensued, scattering everyone like leaves in the wind. The men were too busy

saving their own skins to protect Thaddeus and Cassius!

They took cover behind a large boulder and swiftly retaliated. Both were sharpshooters, taking down

four assailanta in quick succession, but the situation was still diret

“What’s going on? Did Ward’s people find us?!!

Cassius’s brows knitted together as he reloaded his gun whilst keeping an eye on the surroundings,

“Our whereabouts are top secret, impossible for anyone to know!

“But the news of our movement tonight has been leaked,” as he spoke, another bullet whizzed past,

barely grazing Thaddeus’s gar

Cassius’s heart constricted while Thaddeus remained calm, his eyes icy as he suddenly tumed to fire

two shots, taking down another assallant!

His performance was testament to his experience on the battlefeld his mental fortitude and quick

response were remarkable

No wonder his little sister was head over heels for him,

“Who could it be?” Cassius hastly asked.

“I wouldn’t rule out the possibility that aside from Elspeth, there are people in the country who have

secret dealings with Ward and want to give him a and behind the scenes. At the same time, they want

to get us out of the picture,” as he spoke. Thaddeus couldn’t help but think of a name he had always

tried to forget -Avery
