His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 787

Hearing this, Thad had his fists clenched so tightly that the veins on the back of his hand stood out starkly; he sneered with cold mockery:

“Old Frederic’s the poster child for fatherly love, ain’t he? No matter what, he can’t bear to give up on this daughter who has been rotten to the core.”

“It’s not Glynnis who he can’t let go of–it’s his precious Abernathy pride!”

Gordon was beside himself with rage. “I’ve seen him at the hospital these past couple of days, fussing over Mr. Hamilton and showing concern for poor Ms. Marilla’s condition. I thought, maybe, just maybe, his conscience had kicked in. It turned out that I was just too damn naive!”

“Frederic’s been nothing but a selfish snob from the get–go, a man who believes in ‘every man for himself.” How could you ever expect him to have an epiphany?”

Thad pivoted his tall and imposing figure to face the overcast sky, “Since he cares so much about face, I’ll make sure he watches his own dignity shatter to pieces on the ground, and his face become beyond recognition!”

The public outcry was fermenting, with calls for justice against the notorious ‘Group of Six‘ growing louder by the day.

Glynnis was embroiled in the scandal too. As a member of the Abernathy family, as well as Marilla’s own sister, her actions were, in some ways, even more execrable than those of the infamous Edith and her cronies.

Naturally, Frederic wouldn’t stand for the Abernathy name being dragged through the mud. Despite knowing full well the extent of Glynnis‘ malice, he had no choice but to shield her.

So, he ordered Dennis to prepare for an emergency press conference in the grand ballroom of the Abernathy estate.

Below the podium, flashbulbs popped incessantly.

The harsh light illuminated Frederic’s haggard face as he spoke with a mix of indignation and sorrow:
