His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 716

The room fell silent and people were all shocked. Ms. Ashbourne’s commanding presence sent shivers down everyors was as if Chairman Ashbourne had returned

Bevis fidgeted nervously under the table, but then, with a face as red as a beetroot, he shot to his feet and challenged Evadne. “Evadne! Just because your dad was the chairman and you’re the CEO doesn’t give you the right to fire me! You think this boardroom is your personal playground? You’re way out of line! You can’t dismiss me without a board vote!”

It was clear cs day, he was retaliating against Evadne’s previous jab about the company being his personal piggy bank. Old Bevis sure was petty!

With a scoff, Evadne retorted, “Well, you’re absolutely right. And that’s exactly why we’re having this meeting about you, isn’t it?” Gabriel and Bevis had shared interests; the former had stakes in those two restaurants; he couldn’t afford to let his ally fall. So he spoke up in defense, “Ms. Ashbourne.”

“It’s President Ashbourne,” Jason fixed his sharp gaze on Gabriel.

Gabriel, taken aback, corrected himself with a softer voice, “President Ashbourne, Director Ashbourne has made significant contributions to the company over the years. We’ve all seen it. And he’s your uncle, your father’s own brother, a legitimate member of the Ashbourne family. This issue isn’t that serious, and since Chairman Ashbourne settled the account, it indicates he didn’t want to pursue it. Besides, leaking this out could tarnish not just the company’s reputation but also that of the Ashbourne family!”

Evadne smirked dismissively at his words, “Not that serious? Then, Gabriel, perhaps you’d like to pay the five million on his behalf.”

Gabriel’s face turned ashen.

“The only reason I’m merely removing him from his position is exactly because he’s my father’s brother. If I didn’t, the person talking to him right now would be the police.”

The smile on Evadne’s rosy lips faded, “As for the reputation of the Ashbourne family, that’s none of your concern. By acting on behalf of my father and the company to clean house, anyone with a conscience and eyes to see will know I’m doing the right thing. They’ll see that the leadership of the K Group is upright and not afraid to act against its own when necessary. If everyone here wishes for the company to progress in a positive direction, then a bad apple must be removed.”

The room was dead silent.

Gabriel’s face turned from black to green as Evadne’s words implied he was both corrupt and blind.

“Only you can’t make this decision!” Bevis clung to his last card, invoking Emeric’s name in desperate deflection, “I’m calling my brother! I need to see him! Your words mean nothing!”

Before Bevis could finish, Jason’s eyes blazed with fury, and though his voice was not loud, it carried an undeniable authority, “Director Ashbourne, this is the boardroom! Your antics are out of line! Moreover, in Chairman Ashbourne’s absence due to illness, President Ashbourne has the special privilege to preside over meetings and make crucial corporate decisions. Everything is done by the book. Are you defying Chairman Ashbourne’s decisions, or do you simply disregard President Ashbourne?”

“You’re just a secretary; how dare you raise your voice to me!” Bevis fiercely pointed at Jason’s face, looking desperate and dangerous.

There was zero sign of grace a company’s executive from a renowned family remained. The venomous look was pretty much like one from a gangster.

“You, a disloyal and deceitful schemer, have no place before my father, lest you taint his sight,” Evadne turned her chair away the table, dismissing Bevis without a glance – her ultimate sign of contempt.
