His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 849

Elsie heard it clearly.

But her mind and body felt disconnected, unable to respond.

“Go on, hurry up.” Avery urged, his eyes gradually turning cold.

Stiffly, Elsie rose to her feet, trembling lightly, her dress damp with sweat. She was alive, yet felt she had died over and over again. She walked towards Tom, taking just a few steps that felt like a lifetime.

Tom’s hands were tied, and he supported himself with his head bowed, shaking as he knelt before her. From the moment he was captured, he knew he wouldn’t survive, but he refused to die a broken man; he wanted to die with dignity.

Harvey stepped forward, taking Elsie’s cold hand in his, and placed a gun in her grip, forcefully curling her fingers around the handle.

With blood covering his face, Tom smiled gently at her, as if comforting her. Elsie closed her tear-filled eyes; the basement felt like a slaughterhouse for her heart.

Suddenly, her pupils contracted—Tom’s left eye was beaten into a bloody mess, leaving only his right eye. Others might not notice, but to Elsie, his right eye seemed to blink rhythmically.

In an instant, Elsie realized.

It was Morse code!

Trembling fingers pointed to her side, as she memorized his unspoken words with each blink of Tom’s eye.

“Ellie, do it. Don’t upset Mr. Chambers,” Harvey said, his gaze complex as he watched her.

Slowly, Elsie raised her hand, pointing the gun at Tom. She gasped for air, tears ready to fall, unable to pull the trigger. For a moment, she even wished to kill herself.

Just as everyone’s attention focused on Elsie, Tom, who had been kneeling on the ground, suddenly stood up, using all his strength to violently push Elsie away!

Elsie staggered back, caught by Harvey’s quick reflexes.

“Avery, you beast! Go to hell!”

Tom glared with eyes drenched in crimson blood, pouncing on Avery like an enraged lion, faster than any of his henchmen could react!

These henchmen had undergone professional training and shouldn’t have been so slow to react, including Harvey. However, they were caught off guard!

They never expected someone tormented to near-death to have such a strong burst of energy!

Even Avery was unprepared, his glass of wine crashing to the floor.

The next second, he opened his mouth wide, letting out a heart-wrenching scream:

“Ah!”

Tom’s eyes blazing with fury, sank his teeth into Avery’s left ear with ferocity!

“Mr. Chambers!” Everyone panicked, unsure of what to do.

In a rage, Harvey lifted his gun and fired three shots into Tom’s back!

“Harv, can you please leave Tom’s body whole?” Elsie’s tone was almost pleading.

“You’re stubborn to the point of obstinance!” Harvey advanced anxiously, grasping her slender shoulders. “He was your accomplice, wasn’t he? Do you know Mr. Chambers suspected you? Luckily, he didn’t spill anything before going berserk, giving me a chance to take him out. If he had said anything against you, how much better do you think your fate would be than his?”

Elsie looked at the man who cared for her, her heart burning with hatred. Avery was the devil, and Harvey, his vicious accomplice!

The man who had just fired three shots at Tom was now shamelessly acting as if he had done it all for her sake, which made her sick!

“And now you want to keep his body? If Mr. Chambers finds out.”

“Then let’s not let him know,” Elsie said firmly, yet her voice soft. “Tom has always been kind to me, treating me like a sister. His death ultimately was because of me. Harv, I’ve never asked you for anything. Can you just do this for me? I know you can do it.”

Harvey, moved by her tearful plea, sighed in resignation. “Alright, I promise you.”

“Thank you.”

“But you must also promise me, don’t think about plotting against Mr. Chambers anymore. Don’t have any more crooked ideas!”

Harvey pulled her close into his arms, his heartbeat quickening. “I know you’ve suffered a lot. Once Mr. Chambers fully controls the Chambers Group and the new drug is successfully launched, you’ll be able to leave The Velvet Haven for good. Our better days are ahead!”

Elsie, thinking of Tom’s death, felt her heart nearly burst with grief. “Then when will the new drug finally be ready?”

“Soon, very soon,” Harvey murmured repeatedly in her ear.
