His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236 

Overnight, Glynnis seemed to be the talk of the town once again, and every time she was, it was something monumental. 

Not only that, but she had caused the Abernathy Group’s stocks to evaporate by billions in a single day–an impressive feat in its own right. 

On the night of the incident, Ada publicly announced to the press her intention to cancel her collaboration with Abernathy Hotel. 

The next day, the news continued to simmer, the Abernathy Group’s stocks plummeted, and online criticism of Glynnis never ceased. 

“Some heiresses are phoenixes, others are less than chickens. Take Ms. Evadne for instance, beautiful, kind–hearted, and enormously talented, she could manage a hotel and design jewelry.” 

“But there were some who only knew how to scheme and cheat, their hearts full of ill intentions. Ada’s first visit to Elmsworth was a complete embarrassment!” 

“Stop comparing our dear Ms. Alea with Glynnis. She simply doesn’t measure up!” 

“I’m not the least bit surprised by Glynnis‘ actions. It’s the classic case of the apple not falling far from the tree, if you know what I mean.” 

“Really though, are there any good people left in the Abernathy Group? What kind of twisted family is this? Can the authorities do something?” 

On the third day after the incident, Thaddeus called an emergency executive meeting, without even informing Frederic. 

At the conference table, Glynnis‘ seat was empty. She had been calling in sick these past few days, probably too embarrassed to show her face. 

“Let’s get straight to the point,” Thaddeus leaned forward, his long elegant b*dy hunched slightly over the table. His dark eyes were intimidating, “I believe everyone here knows what happened at the charity event at K Hotel.” 

The room was silent. Everyone seemed to agree. 

“Now, on behalf of the Abernathy Group, I will announce the outcome.” 

Thaddeus motioned to Gordon, who immediately produced a document and began to read aloud, 

“The Abernathy Group’s board member, Miss Glynnis, has had a detrimental negative impact on the group. 

Effective immediately, Glynnis‘ board membership is revoked, her hotel project planning rights are withdrawn, and she is instructed to fully cooperate with the police investigation. 

As for the severe consequences caused by Glynnis‘ improper handling of Ada’s wedding planning, it is her personal act. The Abernathy Group is not responsible. Glynnis is personally liable for any damages caused by infringing K Orld Hotel’s rights, and the group will not provide any help!” 

Everyone was stunned! Uproar! 

Glynnis was the chairman’s daughter, Thaddeus‘ sister. Even if they were half–siblings, this punishment was quite harsh! 

Thaddeus‘ righteousness over familial ties was quite ruthless! 

“I won’t accept this punishment!” 

A shrill voice rang out: Elspeth, adorned in lavish jewelry, stormed into the room with the air of a chairman’s wife, full of rage. 

Thaddeus looked up coldly, “People unrelated to the meeting should not be here, Mr. Gordon.” 

“Understood, Mr. Thaddeus!” 

Gordon quickly stepped forward to block Elspeth, “Ma’am, Mr. Thaddeus is in a meeting. I need you to leave immediately.” 

“Who are you to tell me to leave?” 

Elspeth was furious. She grabbed Gordon’s collar and gave it a fierce tug, “I am the wife of the Chairman of the Abernathy Group! The whole group belongs to the Abernathy family, who are you to tell me to leave?” 

The executives in the room looked at this furious woman with sideways glances. 

Thaddeus slowly curled his l*p, a hint of mockery in his eyes, “The Abernathy Group doesn’t have a position called ‘Frederic’s wife“.” 

Elspeth’s eyes turned red at his words. 

The executives laughed quietly. 

“As for Glynnis‘ punishment, I have already released the document, and I will also send it to all staff of the group.” 

Thaddeus leaned back, his eyes as sharp as a blade, “The punishment is not a joke. It’s not something you can change just because you disagree, Elspeth.” Elspeth’s face went pale, as if she had just been hit on the back of the head. She took a step back, her eyes turning green 

with rage. She thought, “This bastard, he dared to call me Elspeth in such a disrespectful way in front of everyone! It was a clear insult!” 

As expected, the executives‘ gaze on her gradually changed, showing a hint of disdain. 

“Even if you are the president, you can’t arbitrarily deal with the group’s board members! This matter should be decided by the chairman! How can you act first and report later?” Elspeth had no choice but to use Frederic to suppress him. 

Thaddeus raised his l*p, offering a weighty comeback, “Are you suggesting, Elspeth, that the chairman will definitely condone Glynnis‘ actions? 

Even if she is suspected of commercial theft, fraud, causing the Abernathy Group’s stocks to evaporate by billions overnight, the chairman will still protect her position, and let her continue to hold a high position, just because she is the chairman’s daughter?” 

His words were like a knife, cutting deep into Elspeth’s arguments. 

The executives looked at Elspeth with sharp, scrutinizing eyes. 

She felt a chill run down her spine, her scalp tingling with rage and embarrassment. 

“I know there is no absolute fairness in the workplace. The fairness we see is like a magnificent robe, full of lice underneath.” 

Thaddeus‘ eyes were sharp, and his words hit the ground running, “But as long as I am still the CEO of this company, I will not let those parasites cause trouble. As 

long as I’m here, they won’t see the light of day.” 

He didn’t curse at Elspeth at all. 

But Elspeth felt as if she had been thoroughly scolded. 

The moment he finished speaking, the room fell silent. 

A few seconds later, the top brass, with their eyes wide open, were moved by Mr. Thaddeus‘ righteous speech. The applause was deafening. 

After the meeting, the news of Elspeth making a scene at the top–level meeting spread throughout the company. Everyone gathered to mock the current Chairman’s wife’s ridiculous behavior. 

She actually stormed into the meeting room, what kind of behavior is that! Even a dog wouldn’t do that! 

The news of Glynnis being dismissed was also sent out to everyone via email. 

“Finally, she’s been removed. There is justice in this world!” 

“It’s not about justice, it’s about Mr. Thaddeus! When I get home, I’m going to put up a handsome photo of Mr. Thaddeus and worship him every day. This is the light of justice!” 

“Does this count as disowning your own family?” 

“Pah! This is called justice over family! Besides, they didn’t come from the same womb.” 

“I don’t care, Glynnis deserved it!” 

Despite not getting a raise or bonus, everyone was overjoyed to see Elspeth and her mother in a tricky situation. 

Back in the office, Gordon was so excited that he nearly jumped for joy. 

“Mr. Thaddeus! Seeing that old witch suffer such a huge loss and become the laughingstock of the entire company is so satisfying! Even a massage isn’t this satisfying!” 

Thaddeus gave him a nonchalant glance, “Do you go for massages often? Working with me seems to be quite stressful.” 

“No, no, no!” Gordon waved his hands in embarrassment, “I was just making a comparison, Mr. Thaddeus!” 

“Has the investigation started?” Thaddeus asked, sitting down gracefully on the sofa. 

“I heard that Mrs. Abernathy’s loyal secretary has handed over the evidence they had to the authorities. The order to prohibit Glynnis from showing up has been issued. She’s not going to be able to run away.” Gordon was so happy that he blurted out her name directly. 

“Hmm.” Thaddeus‘ eyes were deep, but his expression remained calm. 

After all, the one who took down Elspeth and her daughter wasn’t him, but Evadne. 

He just wanted to help her out, to do what he could. 

“By the way, Mr. Thaddeus, I went to the hospital to ask around after that day, Mrs. Abernathy had a stomach spasm and stayed in the hospital until late at night.” Gordon frowned. 

Thaddeus‘ l*ps tightened. His heart was wrapped in a worry that he couldn’t shake off, and it tightened more and more. 

“So… Do you want to find an excuse to go and see Mrs. Abernathy? Or should I buy some medicine for you to send to Mrs. Abernathy?” 

“Do I need an excuse to see her?” Thaddeus‘ eyebrows furrowed in irritation. 

Gordon quickly agreed, “Ah, no need…” 

“And why should I be the one to send her something?” 

Thaddeus‘ stiff l*ps twitched, and his eyes were slightly moist, “Doesn’t she have Avery by her side? She has a bunch of brothers. Why should I go and add to her happiness? Am I a masochist?” 

Gordon, looking more anxious, blurted out “Mr. Thaddeus! Your favorability rating with Mrs. Abernathy is currently in the negatives! Being a masochist is your only way out! If you don’t act like a masochist, you won’t be able to win Mrs. Abernathy back!” 

Before his words could fall, Thaddeus gave Gordon a killing glance. 

He was so scared that he choked on his saliva and coughed several times. 

“We’re divorced, and it’s final. Broken mirrors can’t be mended, and I have no intention of winning her back.” 

Thaddeus felt suffocated, his voice was deep and hoarse, like he had drunk all the bitter medicine in the world, “What’s mine won’t leave me. What’s not mine is futile to chase. 

Letting her go, I’ve never regretted it… never.” 

Elspeth, filled with resentment, returned to Windermere Estate. She started crying the moment she entered the door and went to the study to sob into Frederic’s 

arms. 

“Frederic! How can Thaddeus be so heartless! Glynnis is his own sister! It’s bad enough that he doesn’t help… but how could he even dismiss Glynnis? How can Glynnis hold her head high in the company? 

He wants to have absolute power in the company… He’s been disregarding you more and more since he became CEO!”
