His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 636

The Chambers Group was in disarray, and Thaddeus was equally swamped.

Emeric, the patriarch of the Abernathy family, had just stabilized after a health scare. Having tended to his father–in–law’s needs, Thaddeus was now fervently working on establishing a charitable foundation in his late mother’s name.

Though his mother had passed away years ago, he was determined to honor her memory in a grand fashion, as a gesture of filial plety

“Mr. Thaddeus, preparations for the charity gala are almost complete. We need your final review on the venue and quest list along with some other detalls,” Gordon sald as he handed over a meticulously prepared dossier.

Thaddeus skimmed through the documents and asked Indifferently, “Any word from Frederic lately?”

“There’s something suspect,” Gordon leaned in, lowering his voice. “I checked Frederic’s travel itinerary. He was supposed to be overseas for a business conference for a week. He should’ve returned to Elmsworth afterward, but instead, he made a detour to another country to see Mr. Chad”

“Chad?” Thaddeus lifted an eyebrow, his tone icy.

Thaddeus refocused on the documents, seemingly uninterested in the implications. “Frederic hasn’t visited Chad much over the years. An occasional trip shouldn’t matter”

“But he chose to go now, just after you won that lawsuit against Elspeth and after Mr. Hamilton delegated a significant share of his power to you. That’s a red flag, Mr. Thaddeus!”

Gordon, the right–hand man akin to a chief steward, was nearly frantic. “Frederic must fear your growing influence, worrying that he can no longer control you. So, he’s seeking to side with and bolster Mr. Chad against you!”

“And what do you suggest? Should I buy a cruise missile and blow Frederic’s private jet out of the sky?”

Gordon hesitated, “Well, it’s not entirely out of the question.”

Thaddeus shot him a sharp look, and Gordon quickly deflated.

“Do you think I haven’t considered all this, Gordon?”

Thaddeus closed the file and took a deep breath, “If Chad over recovers fully and my dad supports him, I’ll have no complaints. I owe him a debt, and as the rightful heir to the Abernathy Group, his involvement in the family business is to be expected. But rest assured, I won’t give up what I’ve earned without a fight.”

A knock on the door interrupted them.

“Come in,” Thaddeus called out, and his secretary entered with two elegantly packed white lunch boxes.
