His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 163

Thaddeus had just finished a high–level meeting, leaning back in his leather chair, his eyes revealing a sense of exhaustion.

The whole thing with Acacia had probably spread around the group, but in a place as big as the Abernathy group, no one dared to openly discuss him within that skyscraper.

Unless, of course, someone wanted to stir up trouble and wanted to get in trouble in the process.

At that moment he was the vice–chairman of the Board of Directors, a force to be reckoned with.

But why was his mood so heavy, without a hint of mirth?

“Never thought that Elspeth would have a solution to the Stirling group’s financial problems. Seems like she’s got a good handle on money matters. Let her pay through the nose this time,” Gordon felt a sense of satisfaction whenever Elspeth had a tough time.

“Earl used to manage Elspeth’s finances. Now that Earl is in prison, and she can still shell out millions, which means she’s got other financial resources backing her up,” Thaddeus said, his eyes half–closed, the light in them cold as ice.

“Could it be her business, Moonlit Treasures?” Gordon asked in surprise, “Mr. Thaddeus, you’re telling me that a run–of–the–mill business like Moonlit Treasures can actually spin that much dough? How can a place which sells bags and clothes rake in so much?”

“How many years have you been with me, and you still can’t think outside the box?” Thaddeus frowned, picked up a paper airplane he had folded earlier, and threw it accurately at Gordon’s chest, “Behind Moonlit Treasures is a ma**ive network of underground connections in Elmsworth that Elspeth took years to build. What she’s selling on the surface is luxury goods, but in reality, she’s selling connections and power, and even more under–the–table deals, too many to count.”

Gordon shivered as he said with concern in his eyes, “That cunning woman, we’ve really underestimated her!”

I’ve never underestimated her. Never underestimate an enemy.”

Thaddeus rubbed his high nose bridge, his cold smile sending chills, “But dealing with Elspeth won’t be easy. Her influence in Elmsworth is deeply rooted, and she’s got Frederic protecting her. It’s not the right time to take her on now, not enough evidence, not the right moment, but the time will surely come.”

Gordon nodded in agreement, “Yes, she’ll pay for it eventually!”

“How’s Ada’s project going?” Thaddeus changed the topic, his voice still cold.

“Our team’s wedding planning proposal has been revised and is ready to be presented to Ada’s team at any time.”

Gordon paused, then cautiously probed, “Um, Mr. Thaddeus, didn’t you say you wanted to make it up to Mrs. Abernathy? This is a great opportunity! You could just give the wedding hosting rights to K Orld Hotel; I think Mrs. Abernathy would be happy.”

“Why should I give it to K Orld Hotel?” Thaddeus stared at him, his face expressionless, “I owe Evadne a favor, not the K Group. Why would I give this opportunity to the Ashbourne group?”

Gordon looked embarra**ed.
