Chapter 246

Thaddeus delivered his statement with a thunderous voice, then strode off, leaving the room with his head held high.

Cedric remained motionless where he stood, his body flushed with a cold sting of embarrassment.

Born into a prominent family of lawyers, he was always held in high regard by his parents and adored by his younger siblings. He was well respected among the legal fraternity of Elmswort

Even the wealthiest tycoons would make concessions just to have him handle their cases.

When had he ever experienced such humiliation?

Wait a minute.

Cedric scowled, turning to look at Thaddeus‘ retreating figure.

What was the nature of his relationship with Evadne? And why was Thaddeus, a man known for his reserved nature, so enraged on her behalf?

He knew Evadne, the Ashbourne family’s precious gem. She was a woman of celestial beauty, set high above the common folk. She had the world at her fingertips, yet she barely paid any mind to the average man.

There was only one possibility. Thaddeus, the illegitimate child, was infatuated with the Ashbourne family’s precious gem!

Even if he was handsome and cunning, so what?

His mother had never been given any social standing, and his prestigious position as CEO was simply a handout from the Abernathy Group’s heir!

“Being in the palace doesn’t make you the king, Thaddeus. Just because you dress in royal robes doesn’t mean you’re the emperor! Do you really think you, with your lowly birth, are fit to pursue the Ashbourne family’s gem? Dream on!”

With a cold glance, Cedric walked into the mansion.

Seeing Thaddeus and Cedric entering one after the other, everyone was taken aback.

“Dad, Cedric is a talented attorney. Without him, Glynnis wouldn’t have walked free so easily. He did a great job.”

Frederic enthusiastically introduced Cedric to his father, “So I’m planning to hire him as the head of the legal department for the Abernathy group. What do you think?”

“Mr. Frederic, it’s an honor to meet you. I’ve heard a lot about you.” Cedric greeted Hamilton with a polite smile.
