Chapter 968
The silence on the other end was unnerving.
Avery's forehead was beaded with sweat, his heart pounding heavily, as he waited anxiously.
"Congratulations, Mr. Chambers, for finally winning the heart of the lady, fulfilling your desire."
The unmistakable voice of Chad Abernathy was clear and melodious, a low chuckle escaping his throat.
"All of this, I owe to your strategy, Mr. Chambers. Without it, I couldn't have smoothly brought Evadne to my side."
Avery's deep eyes sparkled with excitement, yet his voice was dry, filled with remorse, "But, I fear I can never return to Elmsworth.
Sir, I apologize... I failed to clear the path for you, to eliminate opposition, even the trial for the new drug had to be put on hold. I truly am... damned."
"You are indeed, damned," Chad's voice suddenly deepened.
Avery felt as though he was being strangled on the spot, a strong sensation of suffocation making it hard for him to breathe, his back drenched in cold sweat.
"However, this time, you've secured Ms. Evadne, taking away my brother's true love, as good as taking his life."
Chad laughed heartily, "I consider your debt repaid."
"Thank you... Thank Mr. Chambers for your forgiveness, thank you for making this happen for us!" Avery's tense body relaxed instantly, a bead of sweat trailing down his pale cheek.
"To get Ms. Evadne, you even used your own mother as a pawn, exploiting her, even watching her die before your eyes."
Chad's smile grew thicker, it was unclear whether he truly admired him or was mocking, "Honestly, I do admire your ruthlessness."noveldrama
Avery's heart twisted painfully, tears blurring his vision of the beautiful woman.
For her, the immense pain of losing his only kin crushed him, his entire being felt shattered, every part aching.
Now, he couldn't even be considered human anymore.
They say there's no poison like kin, yet he was just a—
Bloodthirsty beast maddened by love.
"Since you dared to drug your own mother, using something on Ms. Evadne should be no issue for you."
Avery's pupils dilated in shock!
Those words were like a cruel torture to him!
"Now, go to the living room and check the coffee table, there's a box there, a gift from me."
Chad's voice was seductive and mocking, "A wedding gift."
The word "wedding" was full of irony, leaving Avery unable to feel any joy from being blessed.
"Yes, Sir."
Avery stiffly got up, left the room, and headed to the living room.
On the table, there was a beautiful mahogany box, his heart sinking.
This box wasn't there in the afternoon.
Could it be that even on this ROSE Island, Sir's reach was inescapable? It sent shivers down his spine!
Avery approached the coffee table step by step, lifting the lid of the box with one hand-
Inside, were three pills.
One white, one grey, one black.
A faint, strange fragrance wafted through the air.
Avery was stunned, pinching the black pill between his fingers, examining it under the light:
"Sir, this medicine is..."
"Ms. Evadne and my brother's love was deep and unbreakable, not even the merging of mountains and heavens could separate them."
Chad lazily laughed, "Ms. Evadne, is a bird soaring through the skies, can your ROSE Island confine her for a lifetime?"
Avery's lips tightened, pale.
"Even if you could, with her strong and unyielding character, would she willingly stay with you? Even if you have her physically, you'll never have her heart. You might even lose her forever."
Avery shuddered, closing his eyes tightly!
He had also considered that upon waking, Evadne might rather die than stay, fearing the ROSE he so painstakingly acquired would wither and perish.
That would be more unbearable than death itself.
"What will happen to Evadne after taking this pill?"
Avery's voice trembled, "Will she become a vegetable, or... completely lose her memory?"
"She won't become a vegetable, nor will she completely lose her memory. But, she will endure immense pain for a while."
Chad laughed again, as if discussing something amusing, "However, I guarantee, after enduring the pain, you and she will have a fresh start.
Would you like to try?"
What do you think?
