His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 466

In the study, the conversation continued.

Emeric had the world at his feet: sons and daughters, a high–born lineage, and wealth that rivaled the whole country. People envied him, yet little did they know the longed for a heart–to–heart, his confidant being none other than Dylan, who had been by his side since his days as a golden boy.

‘Dylan, the current situation is anything but simple,” Emeric said, his noble brow furrowed as he shook his head slightly. In the past years, while Evadne was gallivanting abroad, Cassius managed the consortium, and I could tell it was wearing him down. When Evadne returned, Cassius stepped aside without a fuss, aware of his limits. Pushing beyond them would have been a herculean task, especially since Cassius and Arnold, well,”

Emeric’s eyes darkened, hinting at words he couldn’t bring himself to say.

Dylan’s pupils narrowed, his expression grave and silem,

“So, after much deliberation, Evadne truly is the best successor, Even if I’m not particularly fond of Thaddeus, I can’t deny that Evadine adores him. He’s in a tight spot with the Abernathy Group, under the constant threat of his elder brother. But Thaddeus is genuinely good to Evadne, with a sharp mind and decisive action, reminiscent of my younger self. Worst case scenario, if he can’t make it in the Abernathy family, he could be a formidable ally for Evadne and our company,” Emeric, always a strategist, had already paved Thaddeus’s path in his mind.

Dylan managed awry smile. “Mr. Emeric, you worry too much. Given Mr. Thaddeus’s abilities, he’s unlikely to be a trophy husband. The man’s pride is immense, with a military background. I doubt he’d ever be comfortable living off his wife’s fortune.”

“Ah, just speculation. If he succeeds, all the better. If not, he can help Evadne swallow up the Abernathy Group, and I’d be thrilled! Emeric said with a dismissive flick of his eyes, “Consider it an engagement gift for Evadne.”

Dylan was speechless

Outside, eavesdropping, Evadne clenched her teeth in frustration. She thought, “Oh, Emeric, your ambitions know no bounds.”

“But that’s all in the future. For now, if I want to ensure Evadne and Thaddeus’s happiness, I must quell the external chaos for her. Jeff saved my life, and that’s a debt I can’t ignore. But if this marriage falls through the Chambers Group will become our adversary.”

Emeric’s head throbbed at the thought. “After the last horse race, our feud with the Fairhaven Group is set in store. Frederic has always been at odds with me, and even with Hamilton’s support, he’s getting on in years. How long can he protect the Abemathy Group? The moment we move on Elmsworth, we’ll likely face a joint attack from the Abernathy and Fairhaven Groups. If the Chambers Group turns on us too, our company will be in an eventighter

Dylan’s brows were also furrowed in concer

Indeed, the Ashbourne family was the undisputed powerhouse in Skyrim, but in Elmsworth, if the other families banded against them, it would be like hyenas circling a lion. Evadno was inexperienced. How would she cope?

Moreover, these families were no hyenas. When provoked, they were as fierce as wolves!

At that moment, Evadne felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her ears ringing.
