Chapter 904
Evadne stared at Avery in disbelief, her heart pounding heavily against her ribs.
Her plan had been flawless. She had not only successfully captured this snake, clearing her own nin the
process but also ensured the safety of everyone involved, leaving them unharmed. Yet, she had missed a crucial
detail.
She never imagined that Avery was genuinely ill, actually medicating to mask his condition!
"You may have been released on bail, but you'll need to wear an ankle monitor and report your whereabouts to
us 24/7," the police officer said as he unlocked the cell. Avery walked out with unwavering poise, his face
betraying no emotion.
As he brushed past Evadne, he paused briefly, his voice soft yet filled with a hidden warmth: "Evadne, thank you
for coming to see me. This has been the most memorable birthday I've had in years."
With that, the Chambers Group entourage departed, leaving Evadne standing there, her face pale, her slender
fingers clenched into fists.
Avery's release was a success. Moreover, with a haggard look on his face, he stood at the police station's
entrance, openly addressing the reporters:
"Due to my condition, I've had to take medication for years, which caused side effects, leading to a positive drug
test result. I've caused the police trouble and used up too many public resources. | sincerely apologize to
everyone for worrying you."

He then bowed deeply towards the camera, a gesture of humility from someone of his stature, admitting to a
mistake that wasn't strictly his own.
His demeanor, his attitude, his magnanimity! Who wouldn't be moved by such a display?
Especially coming from Avery, whose handsand refined appearance was the perfect disguise. His
exceptional acting skills portrayed him as an innocent victim of slander and manipulation to perfection.
"Mr. Chambers! There were reports that the new banned substance, which wreaked havoc in Emsworth, was
found in your hospital room. How do you explain that?" a reporter asked.
Harvey immediately spoke on his behalf, visibly outraged: "This is a deliberate frame-up against Mr. Chambers,
an attack on the Chambers Group! We've reported this to the police, and an investigation has been launched to
bring the real culprit to light and clear Mr. Chambers' name!"
The media, initially eager to witness Avery's downfall, quickly changed their tune, expressing sympathy for him.
The public opinion shifted overnight!
Lawyer Lee stayed behind to handle the aftermath, while Avery, escorted by Harvey, got into a luxury Bentley.
"Mr. Chambers, where would you like to go?" Harvey asked with concern.
"To The Velvet Haven, for a night's rest." Avery leaned back, exhausted, removing his glasses and massaging his
temples. His face, once youthful and handsome, now bore signs of weariness, adding a rugged charm.
"Tomorrow morning, I'll go to the Chambers Group for an emergency board meeting. The company's been in
chaos these past few days; | need to stabilize the situation."
"Ah, Mr. Chambers, you're overworking yourself! You haven't fully recovered, and this could make things worse,"
Harvey lamented, deeply concerned.
"It can't be helped; the mess Evadne's made, | have to clean it up myself." Avery smiled gently, bearing no
grudge, even seeming somewhat fond of the ordeal.
"Mr. Chambers, even at the risk of being scolded, | must say, Ms. Evadne's scheming... it's too much!" Harvey
was indignant, "If this isn't handled properly, you could be facing serious charges. What then for the Chambers
Group without its leader? How would you explain it to the elder?"
At the mention of the elder, Avery's lips pressed into a thin line, a sharp glint passing through his eyes.
"Let's leave it. Evadne's mischief, | don't want to pursue it further." The man closed his eyes to rest once more.
Harvey was dumbfounded. Evadne had caused such a colossal mess, nearly toppling the Chambers Group and
tarnishing Mr. Chambers’ reputation. And Mr. Chambers was letting it go with a mere "mischief, willfulness"? The
epitof being head over heels in love!
"Not wanting to involve Evadne is one thing. But if the police dig deeper, it could spell trouble for us," Harvey
breathed a sigh of relief. This was the cold, calculating Mr. Chambers he knew, where interests always cfirst.
"However, we need to act fast. Otherwise, Evadne and Thaddeus might soon uncover the connection between
him and me," Avery's fleeting warmth disappeared, his gaze turning cold and fierce, "Then, we won't be as lucky
as today."
"Understood," Harvey replied cautiously.
"By the way, Mr. Chambers, today's your birthday, isn't it? Ms. Archer had carefully selected a birthday gift for
you a few days ago. It's waiting at The Velvet Haven, hoping to present it to you personally."
Avery's eyebrows lifted slightly, his voice chilling, "Did you let her go?"
"Rest assured! I've been watching her closely, making sure she went straight back to The Velvet Haven after
buying the gift, with no detours!" Harvey hurriedly assured.
"If she's truly cto her senses, then she's wise." Avery's tone was nonchalant.
Meanwhile, the Abernathy family and Aaron were fraught with worry.
"It's always a step ahead with him. Barely two days out, and he's already strutting around freely, infuriating!"
Evadne's eyes blazed with fury, her fist raised to strike the coffee table before Thaddeus's warm, large hand
enveloped her delicate fist, holding it tightly against his chest:
"Evadne, it's okay to be angry, but don't hurt yourself. If you really need to let out ssteam, hitinstead."
"And then what? I'd feel guilty and even angrier. That would just make things worse!" Evadne hurled herself into
Thaddeus's embrace, her head nuzzling aggressively against his solid chest, like a feisty little kitten clawing at
his shirt.
Thaddeus's eyes were filled with affection as he wrapped his arms around her slender waist, indulging her
tantrum.
"Enough with the lovey-dovey act! Let's focus on what to do next!" Aaron shook his head, unable to bear
watching them. He really wasn't in the mood for their display of affection!
"It looks like we can't touch Avery for now." Thaddeus's hand massaged the back of Evadne's neck, his voice
deep, "We need to find another angle."
"Alerting the enemy without striking a decisive blow, Snakey Avery will surely lay low now, not making a move
anytsoon. Ah, it's a shwe couldn't hit him harder this time!" Aaron lamented.
"True, we've alerted him, but that doesn't mean he won't make a move!" Evadne clenched her teeth, a fierce
desire to win burning in her eyes, "This incident has sounded the alarm for Avery. If he continues to play it safe,
he's just waiting for his downfall. He'll definitely make a move to eliminate the threat once and for all!"
