Chapter 980
Evadne shivered uncontrollably in the man's embrace, her dim eyes lighting up with a flicker of hope.
Could it be her brothers?
Was it Thaddeus?
Had they finally found her?!
A torrent of emotions battered her from the inside, her eyes moistening, tears of injustice threatening to spill over.
But the drugs she had been fed left her limbs weak, sapping her of all strength, let alone the ability to struggle out of Avery's hold.
"Visitor?"
Avery's handsome face turned ashen in an instant, "How many people?"
"Just... one man."
Upon hearing this, Avery's anxiety did not subside. Instead, it felt as if his heart was being tightly wound by thorny vines, each twist bringing acute pain.
The next second-
Before he could speak, a series of heavy, resolute footsteps entered the dining room unobstructed, as if they owned the place.noveldrama
"Mr. Chambers."
The man's voice was deep and hoarse, as if laden with the dust of a scorching desert.
Evadne's heart raced, hope swelling within her as she looked over.
That glance was earth-shattering.
Her eyes, moist with tears, narrowed intensely, fixated on the familiar face that was indelibly etched in the depths of her soul. Her blood ran cold, churning, heavily pounding against her chest!
"Hubery... Hubery!" Evadne's eyes reddened as she cried out with all her might.
The immense heartache and longing, the suppressed fears and anxieties, all her emotions crumbled and broke free in that moment.
She wept uncontrollably.
Her tears were messy, erasing all traces of her usual dignified poise.
And the man before her, bearing an uncanny resemblance to her beloved Hubery Ashbourne, remained expressionless throughout, his eyes devoid of any emotion lust, sorrow, joy.
Like a cold, unfeeling Al.
Hans glanced indifferently at the tear-streaked Evadne before his gaze returned to Avery, unflinchingly calm:
"Sir sent me to assist you."
"Are you truly here to help me?" Avery's voice tightened, his eyes fixating on the face now exposed to Evadne.
"Why bother asking so much? You're no longer the Mr. Chambers who would respond to every call."
Hans's eyebrows slightly raised, his tone cold, his blunt truth more cutting than mockery, "For you, an extra pair of hands is more of a benefit than a drawback, isn't it."
Avery felt a sting in his heart.
He knew better than anyone what this face meant to Evadne.
Sir was a master strategist, never misstepping.
Thus, there was only one possibility-
Hans's exposure in front of Evadne was deliberate!
Evadne looked deeply at the man, tasting the bitterness of her tears.
He was Sir's man, meaning he was under the command of Avery's mysterious boss.
If he truly was Hubery, why was everything about him so different? Even his voice, his manner of speaking, his gaze... all were unfamiliar.
But she couldn't be mistaken!
Elsie might have undergone surgery to look like her, but upon closer inspection, differences remained. After all, plastic surgery isn't about cloning; everyone has their unique base, making it impossible to completely transform into another real person.
So, why did this man possess Hubery's exact appearance?
If not Hubery, then who could he be?!
"I've come a long way, and I'm hungry."
Hans, no longer sparing Avery another glance, casually pulled a chair at the dining table and seated himself with a boldness, "Mr. Chambers, I'm a guest after all. You should prepare a fresh meal for me, right? I don't eat leftovers."
Avery's gaze darkened as he coldly ordered the servants, "Prepare a new set of dishes."
Hans added, "I detest the sea. Fish, seafood, I don't eat any of that."
Evadne's heart hammered!
Hubery also disliked the sea, saying its endless and mysterious nature always filled him with an inexplicable melancholy. He preferred the majestic mountains, enjoying the lofty aspirations and the panoramic views from their summits.
Yet in the end, he met his demise beneath the vast expanse of the ocean. Even in death, his wishes were unfulfilled.
