His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 409

The mention of Evadne caused a dark cloud to descend over Hamilton’s face, an ominous sign of brewing storm.

“What did you say? What do you mean by that?”

“Evadne and Elspeth have always been like oil and water, a well known fact even before she and Thaddeus divorced If you think about it, every time she made an appearance, it was always to stir up trouble for the Abernathy Group. This time is no different. Even if she disregards Elspeth’s feelings, she should at least respect the reputation of the Abernathy family!”

Frederic originally intended to gloss over his error in judgment, but the more he spoke, the more he let his resentment toward Evadne show. He was so convincing that he almost fooled himself, “The funeral was a solemn occasion. Why did she have to create a scene then? Couldn’t she wait until it was over? Her actions clearly indicate that she wants to go against the Abernathy Group. The current state of affairs is entirely due to Evadne’s reckless actions and her relentless attacks on our group!”

“So, you think Evadne is to blame for all this?” Hamilton’s piercing gaze narrowed,

“At the very least, Evadne bears undeniable responsibility,” Frederic replied coolly, a master of buck–passing.

“Shut the fuck up!”

Hamilton, unable to control his rage, grabbed the telephone from the table and flung it at Frederic!

This time, Frederic dodged it. If he hadn’t, his head would have resembled a camel’s hump!

“When a servant from the Abernathy family died, you and Elspeth, as the masters of Windermere Estate, showed complete disregard for a human life! Evadne, with her family, was these ones who arranged the funeral for that poor kid, granting her the respect and dignity she deserved. You not only failed to do anything but also allowed your reckless wife to run wild. And now, you’re blaming Evadne, an innocent woman. You’re blaming a young woman in her twenties. Do you have any shame left?”

Hamilton couldn’t remain calm when it came to his precious llana. His eyes were bloodshot with rage, his pale, dry lips trembling, “Frederic, when did you become so ruthless and unjust? Or have you always been like this, and I was just too blind to see it?”

Frederic was taken aback!

Seeing the anger in his father’s eyes, he felt a cold shiver run down his spine. His temples throbbed, “So you’ve never really accepted nie, have you? Back then, compared to Felix, you would have rather seen me in prison, wouldn’t you?”

Hamilton’s pupils contracted, he slapped the armrest of his wheelchair, “Both you and your brother are my sons. In my eyes, you’re equal. I’ve never favored one over the other. It’s your overthinking that made you feel neglected and overlooked! But now, I do regret not sending you to jail to teach you a lesson! I regret not getting rid of that vixen Elspeth when you were so determined to marry her! I regret not protecting Thaddeus and his mother, resulting in Thaddeus losing his mother at such a young age. You missed out on a woman who truly loved you!”

“Loved me? What did you say?” Frederic’s face turned pale; he asked in shock.

Hamilton thought of Thaddeus‘ mother, a woman named Cynthia Winter, a pang of bitterness surged in his heart, “Cynthia only ever loved you. She never changed her feeling toward you, nor did she have crush on any other man. I always wondered who Thaddeus inherited his hopeless romantic nature from. I initially thought it was from me, but then I realized, he got it from his mother.”

“It’s impossible. How can it be?”

Frederic’s eyes were filled with confusion, “If she loved me, why didn’t she agree to marry me? Why was she so indifferent to me? She wouldn’t even let me touch her.”

“That’s because she was suffering, both physically and mentally. She was severely depressed and was in constant pain. Every morning, her first thought was how she should end her life, but thinking of Thaddeus, she couldn’t bear to leave her young son behind.”

about Cynthia’s depression back then, but aside from her usual reticence and secluded life, there wasn’t any abnormality about her. Besides, at that period of time, people had few knowledge on this mental disease; most of those suffering from depression tended to be neglected by their family, and even was criticized by others as being unreasonable. Thus, at that time, Frederic didn’t realize Cynthia’s condition had already been serious; combined with his busy schedule as a CEO, he
