His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 282

Evadne blinked her bright eyes, unable to suppress a mischievous smile.

Seeing such a playful expression on his lady, Thaddeus momentarily forgot the pain he was in. His

entire focus was on her, a content smile tugging at his lips.

The room full of people was shocked to see Mr. Hamilton publicly chastise the man of the Windermere

Estate, Frederic, without giving him any face!

What? Frederic being scolded by his own father in public? Such a loss of face!

Frederic felt his pride taking a hit. His face turned a furious shade of red, and he gritted his teeth,

ordering, “Butler, have everyone leave this room.”

“No! Tonight’s issue must be settled face to face. No one leaves this hall!”

Mr. Hamilton’s imposing authority was no joke..

Evadne’s temper, when she was angry, was similar to Hamilton’s, just like she was his true

granddaughter.

“Dad, what are you trying to do?” Frederic frowned, his voice filled with irritation.

“What am I trying to do? Humph, whatever you’re trying to do, that’s what I’m trying to do!”

Mr. Hamilton’s eyes were half–closed as he sneered, “You embarrass Thaddeus in front of everyone,

not caring about his self–esteem. Now I am dealing with tonight’s issue in front of everyone, what’s so

unacceptable about that?”

“Dad! You can’t always favor this disobedient son of mine! Isn’t this simply aiding and abetting?”

Frederic, his face red with anger, pointed at Thaddeus and shouted, “You’ve spoiled him so much that

he’s become arrogant and lawless. If this continues, he won’t even respect his biological father!”

“Huh.” Thaddeus let out a cold laugh, his eyes icy.

When his mother had thrown herself off the rooftop of this villa, his so–called father ceased to exist in

his eyes. He had died with his mother.

This cold laugh, Evadne heard it clearly.

She watched Thaddeus‘ handsome pale profile without showing any emotion, catching a glimpse of

deep, heart–wrenching hatred in his clear eyes.

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through her heart.

“You say Thaddeus is arrogant and lawless, come on, tell me, how is he so?

Mr. Hamilton was calm, even casually picking at his teeth with his little finger!

Everyone felt speechless.

Man, the older he got, the more outrageous he became..

Perhaps he had been suppressed for too long in his youth, now that he was old and had everything, he

completely let go.

“He defies me, disobeys me!”

Frederic was so angry that he couldn’t think straight, saying whatever came to his mind, “I punished

him according to the family law, it was unavoidable! Besides, I’m his father, what’s wrong with

disciplining him?”

“Hmph! Talking about defiance and disobedience, Frederic, you sure set a great example for your son!”

Hamilton glanced at Elspeth with a disgusted look, “According to your logic, when you brought Elspeth

into the family back then, I should’ve whipped you into

submission!”

Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy’s faces changed, growing uglier by the second.

“The Abernathy family law punishes the ones who truly make mistakes and the ones who truly deserve

punishment. I just want to ask you, what mistake did Thaddeus make? Tell me!”

Hamilton slammed the armrest hard, causing Elspeth to shudder all over.

“He ignored our family’s activities and went to support the Ashbourne family!” Frederic finally lost his

patience, blurting out his grievances.

Evadne’s eyes widened slightly, turning to Thaddeus.

“For a long time, K Group has been challenging our Abernathy Group, and your precious

granddaughter has been causing trouble for our Abernathy Group, causing the stock price of the

Abernathy Group to fluctuate, losing more than a billion recently! At such a critical moment, we finally

organized an event over the weekend to network with the high society of Elmsworth. As the CEO of the

group, he ignored his own family’s interests and chose to support the opposing party! Tell me, how

could I not be angry? How could I not be furious?”

Evadne’s eyes grew

wider and wider, staring at Thaddeus in disbelief. Her heart was slightly chaotic.

“Oh, so the event you’re talking about is the birthday party you’re holding for your woman this

weekend?” Hamilton asked.

Frederic replied, “Yes, it’s a birthday party, but it’s a great opportunity!”

“Hmm, since Thaddeus isn’t attending, I won’t show up either.”

“What?” Frederic was taken aback.

“Not only will I not attend, but I will also follow Ilana to the birthday party that Emeric has prepared for

his wife, Myra. What? Are you going to whip me too?” Hamilton raised his snowy eyebrows, a cheeky

smile on his face.

“Grandpa.” Evadne was completely dumbfounded.

Her grandfather’s blatant favoritism was touching.

“Dad You! You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? Why are you going so far?” Frederic threw the

weapon in his hand onto the ground.

“Huh, don’t you know why I’m going so far?”

Hamilton’s eyes were filled with disappointment, “Your wife has a bad reputation outside, and you’re

still throwing her a birthday party? Frederic, you may not be afraid of losing face, but I’m afraid of losing

my old face!”

The people around them looked at Elspeth with disdain and satisfaction.

After all, her reputation at home wasn’t great, often abusing the servants and treating them like dogs,

which was a routine matter. Everyone secretly complained about her, and there had been a lot of

grievances!

Elspeth was so angry that her neck turned red. She felt as if she was being tortured, wishing she could

find a hole to crawl into!

She thought, “This old man. Why is he still alive! Mark my words, one of these days you’ll meet your

maker! Then we’ll see how you’ll protect your illegitimate. grandson Thaddeus and the little tart

Evadne!”

“Anyway, I’m not going, and neither is Thaddeus! Tough luck if you’re not happy about it, I’m standing

by my grandson!”

With that, Hamilton’s resolute gaze softened as he turned to the young couple, “llana, Thaddeus, let’s

go. You’re coming home with me tonight!”

Evadne and Thaddeus exchanged a glance.

Unspoken agreement passed between them as they both nodded.

At that moment, Mr. Murray hurried in with a man carrying a medical bag.

“Mr. Frederic, the doctor is here.”

“Alright, you can come with us too! Let’s go home! I can’t stand to stay in this damned place a minute

longer!

With his two beloved grandchildren in tow, Hamilton left Frederic standing there, leading the group

towards the door.

“Oh, and starting today, the Abernathy family’s old rules are abolished!”

Being pushed by Mr. Murray, Hamilton raised his voice to ridicule his own son, “We are in the modern

society now, yet you’re more conservative than me! I can’t believe you’d dig up such a rotten tradition!”

Everyone covered their mouths, struggling to stifle their laughter!

Frederic’s face turned red, his head bulging like an overripe tomato.

The group returned to Hamilton’s Havenbrook mansion.
