Chapter 459
At the racetrack, Elspeth single–handedly blew the lid off the entire Abernathy Group!
As the patriarch of the Abernathy family, Hamilton issued an ultimatum to Frederic – Let Elspeth rot in jail, fend for herself. If Frederic meddled again, he would disown him as his son, for good!
But Frederic had his own plans. Right now, if he truly abandoned Elspeth, the media’s blaze would undoubtedly singe him too. They’d label him heartless and ruthless, a cold–blooded capitalist who treated his wives like chess pieces.
From his business marriage to the daughter of the Austin family, to the whispered tales of Cynthia Winter’s depression and her tragic leap from despair, and now Elspeth, implicated in drug use and clapped in irons, he couldn’t bear the thought of the world’s sneers, the insinuations that any woman who ended up with Frederic was cursed!
For the sake of his own reputation, he couldn’t let Elspeth become a criminal. What Frederic hadn’t anticipated, however, was Thaddeus bypassing him, the Chairman, and calling a high–level corporate meeting!
And at that meeting, he officially stripped Elspeth of her executive duties! By the time Frederic arrived, the meeting was over. The executives were just rising to leave when they saw the Chairman and bowed in silence.
“Thad, you owe me an explanation. Who gave you permission to call this meeting without my consent?!” Frederic’s anger was palpable as he confronted him before everyone.
“It was just a regular corporate meeting, no different from any other.”
Thaddeus leaned back, his well–defined fingers idly twirling a pen, his gaze dark and unfathomable, “As the CEO, am I not supposed to preside over daily meetings? Why so hot under the collar?”
“You shouldn’t overstep your bounds, dismissing Elspeth without notifying me! A decision this big, you must inform me. It’s the rule!” Frederic was livid, his face reddening with each word.
“There was no time.”
Thaddeus spoke with icy clarity, “The nation is waiting for the Abernathy Group to decide on Elspeth. And you, for three whole days, have been silent. The racetrack incident is still brewing; the Abernathy Group’s image can’t take another hit. As CEO, I had to make a decision on behalf of the company. Unless you still, after all this, are fantasizing about saving Elspeth. Otherwise, you should have no reason to object.”
Frederic glared, “Thaddeus!”
“Elspeth, a repeat offender, embezzler, and now a suspected drug user, does she still have the face, the qualifications to serve as an executive of the Abernathy Group? Does she think the Abernathy Group is her treasure trove, or a money tree?” Thaddeus sneered coldly.
“The police haven’t even announced the final results of Elspeth’s drug case! There’s a lot that doesn’t add up; it’s very possible Elspeth was framed!”
At this, the executives exchanged complex glances.
“Then tell me, what kind of trap makes Elspeth, with no one forcing her, pick up a syringe and inject herself with drugs?”
“That’s exactly the anomaly! It’s all too perfect; Elspeth isn’t that careless!”
The moment Frederic blurted out his defense, he regretted it. Did he just imply that Elspeth had never been caught before because she was cautious? Was that even a proper excuse?!
As expected, the expressions around him grew even more complex, some even disdainful.
Thaddeus lost his patience, his handsome features darkening, “I’ve already released an official statement and document. The entire company knows Elspeth has been fired. What’s said is said, and it can’t be taken back.”
With that, the man stood with poise, straightened his Windsor knot, and moved to leave.
“Thaddeus, don’t forget your place! Don’t forget who’s the Chairman here, who calls the shots!”
In a fit of rage, Frederic pointed directly at his face, “You think being CEO makes you untouchable? Don’t forget, you’re not my only son! I put you in that seat, and I can just as easily give it to Chad! If Chad agrees to come back to Elmsworth, do you really think I won’t kick you out of the Abernathy Group on the spot?!”
Everyone held their breath, wishing they could silence even the beating of their hearts.
