His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 609

Back at the house, Thaddeus had just walked through the door when his phone buzzed with Gordon’s name flashing on the screen. Without a moment’s delay, he made his way to the study to handle the pressing matter

“Mr. Abernathy, the foundation’s all set to go. You can announce it whenever you’re ready.”

Thaddeus voice was deep and tinged with weariness, “Yeah. Thanks for the hard work

“And, aren’t you planning that getaway with Mrs. Abernathy? I’ve got the villa all prepped for you, right at the foot of the Alps. Gorgeous view. You and Mrs. Abernathy can head over there anytime, Gordon’s cheerness was palpable.

The downfall of that snake Elspeth had rejuvenated him completely he’d been walking on air, probably laughing himself awake from his dreams.

But Thaddeus was silent for a long stretch, his mind elsewhere, replaying the evening’s conversation with Chad and the way he looked at Evadne. A tightness grew in his chest, his eyes as deep as the ocean’s trench.

“Mr. Abernathy? Mr. Abernathy? You dozed off?”

Thaddeus snapped back to reality, “Sorry, what were

you saying?

Twas saying, everything’s ready for your vacation. You can go with Mrs. Abernathy anytime.

Gordon’s voice carried a note of concern, “Mr. Abernathy what’s wrong? You sound off. You feel unwell?

Tonight, I talked to Chad. He met with Mrs. Abernathy too. Thad massaged the bridge of his nose, feeling all tangled up inside.

“What the-“I”

Gordon couldn’t hold back his exclamation, throwing decorum to the wind. “I mean, c’mon! What were you thinking?”

Thaddeus was irritable and couldn’t be bothered to mince words, “We were on a video call; Evadne and Grandpa were there. Chad wanted to meet, and I didn’t give it much thought. Couldn’t really say no.”

“So, whatever Mr. Chad Abernathy says, you jump? Mr. Abernathy, you’re a sharp guy, but this? It’s like you turn into a yes–man around him!”

Gordon was practically smoking with frustration, “That childhood incident was an accident! An accident! Sure. Mr. Chad Abernathy got the short end of the stick, but you were a victim too! You nearly didn’t make it back alive: You can appreciate him, but you don’t owe him your life! You don’t have to bend over backward for him!”

Thaddeus‘ brows furrowed, his heart squeezing tight.

“Between you and Chad, those kidnappers were probably after Mr. Chad Abernathy from the start, and you just got caught in the crossfire.

Gordon’s anger grew as he spoke. Think about it, you were just a kid, just returning back to the Abernathy family for few years. barely known to the outside world. But Mr. Chad Abernathy? He was taken out by Mr. Frederic Abernathy frequently for social engagement, he’s the legitimate heir, born with a silver spoon in his mouth! If I were a kidnapper, Mr. Chad Abernathy would be my prime target! He’d be worth way more than you! You were just a bonus!”

A shadow crossed Thaddeus‘ handsome face, but the truth was hard to deny

Back then, he was the illegitimate child“, his worth not even close to Chad’s. But he had to admit, if not for his brother’s reckless courage, he wouldn’t have escaped those devils‘ clutches.

“Mrs. Abernathy’s a knockout, who wouldn’t be dazzled? You should’ve kept her under wraps, and you let Mr. Chad Abernathy meet her? And just because he asked? It’s really reckless”

Could Chad be harboring feelings for Evadne?

Thaddeus sucked in a sharp breath, shaking his head, murmuring with a heavy heart, “No way.”

or someone impotent; how could he not? What if he’s taken a liking to Mrs.

“Never,”
