His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 620

“What on earth has Bevis been up to now?” Evadne asked with a steely tone, her eyes deep and unfathomable as the depths of a dark lake.

Thaddeus couldn’t help but feel that Bevis, a distant cousin of the Ashbourne Group and the only brother of Chairman Emeric, seemed to be anything but well-behaved.

He had always thought the Ashbourne family to be a rare example of unity and harmony, but it seemed even they were not immune to having a black sheep in their midst.

“Bevis got into some backdoor stock options to make a quick buck, but then the stock market of Country M took a nosedive and he lost a fortune,” explained Cassius, his brow furrowed in disapproval. “He could have backed out in time to save himself, but he got some wild idea that the government of Country M was going to stabilize the market, so he doubled down on his options. Only he didn’t have the funds, so he started eyeing the company’s money.”

“Bevis is the king of fools! His brains are worth less than the cobblestones!” Evadne fumed, her fist thudding against the car window.

Thaddeus took her hand in his, sharing her sentiment, “Options trading is a high-stakes game, it’s like throwing dice with no chance to win. Just six months ago, one of our execs at Abernathy Group got in so deep he ended up jumping from his office building.”

Jason was equally livid, dropping all formalities, “A few days ago, when Ruby was goi over the financial reports, she found two discrepancies that screamed fraud. She reported it straight to President Ashbourne, and that’s how Bevis got caught. If it were for that, we would’ve been in an even bigger mess. As it is, we’re still down by over five

million!”

Ruby was the finance director, a trusted protégé personally mentored by Cassius.

The reason KS Group had dominated the business world and remained at the pinnacle of Skyrim’s elite for decades was because the Ashbourne patriarchs had a keen eye for talent and knew how to place the right people in the right positions.

“Heh, Cassius, you practically saved Bevis’ life.

Evadne clenched her teeth, “Otherwise, he’d be the next one taking a dive off the roof!”

Cassius sighed helplessly, “I tried to handle this quietly, but word still got back to Dad. You can imagine how furious he was.”

“And to make matters worse, Bevis had the audacity to argue back, refusing to repent and even said some outrageous things. It was enough to give Dad a stroke,” Evadne hissed, shuddering with rage.

“In front of Mr. Ashbourne?” Thaddeus asked gravely.

“Yes, Dylan was there too. Thank God he was. He got Dad to the hospital in time to save his life,” Cassius replied, his eyes reflecting the chill of his words.

Thaddeus fell silent, his handsome features shadowed with thought.

“Cassius’s words are heavy with meaning, but family matters are not my place to

comment,” he mused.

Evadne’s eyes blazed with a cold fire, and only Thaddeus’ embrace kept her from losing all composure.

“How does your dad intend to deal with this second son of the Ashbourne family?” Thaddeus finally asked, voicing the question both he and Evadne wanted an answer to.

“Just the thought of it burns me up!” Jason couldn’t contain his anger anymore, his foot pressing hard on the accelerator, “Bevis’ debt, that fifty million hole, Chairman Emeric covered it with his own money! And he’s keeping it under wraps, minimizing the whole ordeal. In other words, he doesn’t want to pursue it!”

Thaddeus was taken aback but quickly understood, “Mr. Ashbourne must hold a significant position within the conglomerate. If word got out, it could cause a chain reaction that could hurt the whole family.”
