His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 593

The young couple, Nydia and Jason, didn’t dare to delay. They hustled to the hospital with all the speed they could muster.

As Nydia gripped Jason’s hand, they reached the hospital room door only to hear the unmistakable shouting of Cedric, the proverbial old dog that just couldn’t learn new tricks. His voice boomed through the walls, mingled with Mrs. Dempsey’s sobs.

“Dad! Mom! I have hit rock bottom, all because of Jason, the backstabber! He’s supposed to be part of the Dempseys, my own flesh and blood! Did you see what he pulled off in court? That’s no way to treat family! He’s in cahoots with the Ashbournes, playing right into their hands! And he’s thrown me, his own brother, under the bus! I’m telling you, he’s gonna be the death of me do you hear?”

Cedric was swearing like a sailor, his voice sharp and grating, barely recognizable as the once–glamorous Lawyer Cedric,

A silent rage ignited within Jason, his jaw clenching so tightly his knuckles turned white.

Nydia heard every word, her gaze burning into Jason’s reddened eyes as she shook her head slightly, urging him to keep his cool.

“Dad! You’ve slaved away for the Ashbourne family all your life, and now they’re using your precious son like a pack mule! They’re manipulating him with their illegitimate daughter, leading him by the nose and stirring up trouble in our family!”

Cedric’s voice was shrill and uncontrolled with anger. “After you stepped down, I brought the Dempseys back from the brink. And now, Thaddeus and Evadne have ruined everything! And that fool Jason still can’t see the forest for the trees, shamelessly cozying up to the Ashbournes. That girl’s just playing him until she can climb higher and kick him to the curb! He doesn’t even see it he’s not in her league! How could he ever match up to an Ashbourne?”

His words were a barrage of insults, tearing Nydia’s tender heart to shreds, a thousand pains entwined with a profound sense of injustice, making her feel small and useless.

Jason’s family, an unending source of conflict, and she was at the heart of it.

Had she really been such a curse on his otherwise tranquil life? She felt so inadequate.

“That son of a gun!” Jason could stand it no longer. With an intense fury, he burst through the door!

Though both sons of the same parents, Cedric had always been jealous of his charming, intelligent younger brother, and had never missed an opportunity to put him down.

Anything Jason said, Cedric contradicted; any ambition Jason had, Cedric opposed, always mocking and belittling him. He cloaked his bullying in the guise of brotherly concern, but it was nothing short of emotional tyranny.

For years, Jason had borne it for the sake of familial blood and to spare his parents worry.

But now Cedric dared to insult the woman he loved. If he held back now, what kind of man would he be?

“Jason! Don’t…” Nydia’s heart clenched, but it was too late to stop him.
