His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 161

Elspeth was sweating bullets and full of worry as she headed back to the restaurant Acacia, whom she’d raised with her own hands, was at that moment controlling her!

Originally, she wasn’t worried about those trifling matters as there was no concrete evidence to back her statements.

But things had changed. Frederic was no longer as close to her as before. If anything else were to exacerbate the conflict at that point, her position in the Abernathy family would be even more precarious! At that moment, she had to help Acacia with her debts without dipping into her own pocket, which meant acting all pitiful in front of Frederic.

“Frederic, although Acacia has done wrong, she’s still the child you’ve watched grow up. You know how obedient she was in the past. Now, my sister’s been arrested, my brother–in–law is in a vegetative state. The Stirling group is facing financial difficulties, Acacia’s too scared to go home and is hounded by debt collectors daily. She is, after all, the one I raised. I can’t help but feel heartbroken.”

Elspeth placed her hand on Frederic’s tense one, her eyes welling up with tears as she tried her best to convince him to help Acacia, “Frederic, you’ve always been generous. Let’s help Acacia through this tough time as a form of charity. We’ve done our best.”

Frederic’s brow relaxed a bit, seemingly moved by her words.

Suddenly, Thaddeus pulled out a recorder from his pocket and tossed it in front of them, saying, “if you want to help Acacia, listen to this first, then make your

decision.”

Elspeth’s heart raced; unsure what Thaddeus was up to.

Frederic picked up the recorder with a puzzled look and pressed play.

Two voices, one of George, and the other being Acacia!

“Don’t touch Evadne yet wait for my signal. Things have improved a lot. I’ve regained Thaddeus’s trust and he’s been by my side these past few days. Plus, Mr. Frederic has agreed to our marriage. We should be getting engaged soon.”

“Since you’re now confirmed with Thaddeus, that fifty thousand”

“You’re rushing me over such a petty amount? I’ll send you five thousand first. Once things are settled with Mr. Thaddeus and we’ve had our engagement ceremony, I’ll send you the rest.”

The recording ended, and the restaurant fell silent.

Elspeth’s face turned pale, regretting pleading for Acacia.

Acacia was such a fool! Leaving such a big clue when things weren’t even settled yet. She deserved to be where she was for her foolishness!

“Elspeth, is this the good child you’ve raised?”

Thaddeus’s eyes were icy, “You should be thankful, my ex–wife was smart enough to nip your niece’s plot in the bud. Otherwise, if Evadne had met with misfortune, Acacia’s situation wouldn’t be as it is now. I have the means to make her life a living hell.”

Elspeth took a sharp intake of breath, staring unbelievingly at Thaddeus’s cold eyes.

She thought Thaddeus was like his father, hesitant and unable to easily let go when it came to emotions.
