Chapter 527
“What the fuck? That scumbag is out?”
Evadne bolted upright from Thaddeus’s embrace, her roar nearly giving poor Alva, who was baking pies in the
kitchen, a heart attack!
Thaddeus’s handsome face darkened.
He was so close to her that he heard every word Aaron had said, crystal clear.
“No way Avery is ruthless, always goes for the kill, never leaves loose ends. How did Byron get bailed out? Is there
something wrong with the evidence? Evadne felt her blood go from boiling to ice–cold, her shoulders shaking with
rage.
Thaddeus rose silently, his warm, large hand wrapping around her waist, offering her a silent comfort through his
touch. “The evidence was solid. If it hadn’t been, the precinct wouldn’t have issued an arrest warrant for Byron.”
Aaron’s voice was hoarse with anger and frustration. “But now, those girls who were supposed to testify against
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtByron have changed their tune like they got their stories straight in private! They claim they weren’t raped by
Byron, that they were involved with him of their own free will. Even the two underage girls!”
*Free will? How is that possible? If it was consensual, why didn’t they say so from the start?”
Evadne was beside herself with fury. “Aaron! There’s got to be something fishy going on. You guys have to dig
deeper!”
“Of course, there’s something fishy. We all know it. I even sent several seasoned female negotiators to talk to them,
but it was no use. They decided not to press charges” Aaron sighed, the sound heavy with helplessness
“Mr. Abernathy, Mrs. Abernathy, the news is out!” Gordon waved his phone frantically
“Play it,” Thaddeus commanded, his voice deep and authoritative
They watched the video, the scene was right outside the police station, and the man answering the reporters‘
questions was Matthew.
“Damn it, those reporters are so nosy!
Gordon clenched his jaw as he watched Matthew’s hypocritical performance, “As a CEO, he is doing nothing but
cleaning up messes for the Chambers Group!”
Evadne and Thaddeus watched the screen intently, their hands gripping each other tightly
Facing the reporters, Matthew was indignant, “Ladies and gentlemen, as you can see, if my brother were truly a
rapist, we would not have secured his release. It’s clear my brother has been framed, a victim of someone’s
scheme to tarnish and entrap the Chambers family! I will get to the bottom of this and will not let my brother suffer
this slander”
“Get to the bottom of it? More like empty talk!” Gordon muttered bitterly, almost rhyming.
Thaddeus’s
“He has to say that. The stage is set, and the show must go on, Evadne ground her teeth, her fingertips digging into
Th hand, oblivious to the pain she was causing.
Though it stung. Thaddeus didn’t mind.
His chest was filled with compassion for her. How he wished to give her a peaceful life, but it seemed every time
they found at moment of calm, reality would slap them hard in the face
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Mr. Chambers, among the girls Mr. Byron has been involved with, there are two who are minors.”
The reporter was relentless, his tone filled with accusation, “Even if they don’t press charges against Mr. Byron, his
involvement with minors is highly inappropriate and immoral! He should be strongly condemned by society!”
“Those girls dressed provocatively, looking mature beyond their years, and they deliberately hid their age to get
close to my brother, nearly landing him in serious legal trouble. Who’s really being immoral here?”
Matthew sneered, “Besides, my brother had no idea they were underage, or else why would he do something to
ruin his future? The Chambers Group is a family of high standing, worth billions. I can understand the desperation of
some girls with ulterior motives trying to break into high society, but what about their guardians? Shouldn’t they
bear some responsibility for their failure in upbringing? Why should we foot the bill for their negligence?”
“Damn it! Matthew’s twisting the narrative, deflecting the issue!” Evadne seethed with hatred.
Another reporter asked, “Mr. Chambers, when Mr. Byron was arrested last time, he exhibited outrageous behavior
that’s still circulating in videos online. That’s clearly the behavior of someone on drugs. What do you have to say
about that?”
