His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 576

Several yards away, Thaddeus’s gaze was like ice, locking with Frederic’s in a silent standoff.

Rows of black chairs stood between them, like a thicket of brambles fraught with the turbulent whispers of secrets and deceit.

The air pressure in the banquet hall plummeted, leaving Dennis and the manager dumbstruck, their scalps tingling with an inexplicable chill.

“Thaddeus, what are you doing here? What the hell is going on?” Frederic had his suspicions, but anger compelled him to seek confirmation.

“The answer is quite obvious, isn’t it, Mr. Abernathy?”

Clad in a tailored grey suit, Thaddeus stood his ground, his aura of insurmountable pride and cold aloofness pressing down on Frederic–the kind of pressure that made the seasoned corporate mogul struggle to catch his breath.

The scales were tipping. Thaddeus was soon to be the wave that would crush him upon the shore. The intimidation and oppression he felt now surpassed anything he had known in his youth.

For a fleeting moment, he was grateful no outsiders were present to witness their confrontation.

“The reporters you invited? I sent them packing. It seems they’d rather cross you than dare to cross me,” Thaddeus’s lips curled into a frosty smirk.

“You, why would you do this?” Frederic’s blood boiled, his ears ringing with the surge of his pulse. “Is it that bitch from the Ashbourne family pulling your strings? Have you truly forsaken your own family’s dignity and reputation for her, not seeing she’s playing you for a fool?”

Thaddeus’s handsome visage darkened, a tempest swirling in his eyes, “My actions are my own, and they are unrelated to Evadne. I will not allow you to insult the woman I am to marry.”

Frederic’s pupils constricted in shock!

Dennis and the manager, upon hearing this, were petrified!

“Besides, even if Evadne were toying with me, what of it? If it brings a smile to the face of the one I love, then I welcome it with open arms.”

“Madman, you’re out of your mind!” Frederic, the tycoon at the helm, resorted to the coarsest of language in his fury.

“At least that’s better than you, harboring a criminal, losing all sense of right and wrong,” Thaddeus retorted without a flinch.

Frederic, consumed by wrath, exclaimed, “I am the chairman of the Abernathy Group. Every decision I make is for the benefit of our family and corporation! You selfish fool, engrossed in your romantic delusions, how can you understand the sacrifices I’ve made?”

In Thaddeus’s eyes lay a cold desolation.

He wished he had never existed rather than to learn that his mother’s love and trust had been bestowed upon a man of such callous hypocrisy.

“Tomorrow morning at nine, we’ll settle this in court.”

Without another word, Thaddeus strode past Frederic, his parting shot hanging in the air, “Whatever tricks you and Cedric have up your sleeves, bring them on. But no matter what you do, there will only be one outcome. And that is to watch Elspeth pay for her crimes and face the harshest of judgments.”

In the parking lot, Evadne hacked into the hotel’s surveillance system once more, bearing witness to the clash between Thaddeus and his father.

She was heartened to see Thaddeus defend her without hesitation, but the increasingly strained father–son relationship posed a significant risk to his position.
