His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 251

Chapter 251 

The grand wedding of Ada and the CEO of a renowned international car brand took place as scheduled at the K Orld Hotel. 

On that day, both domestic and international Internet spaces, as well as social media platforms, were taken over by this explosive news. 

And every media outlet in Elmsworth was out in full force, covering the event with fervor. The headlines on the internet were equally flamboyant and sensational! 

[Congratulations to K Orld Hotel for securing the hosting rights, crushing competitors!] 

[The K Group from Skyrim makes a successful debut in Elmsworth! The Abernathy Group loses, an embarrassing‘ situation!] 

[Scandals erupt in the Abernathy family, how can such disparities exist amongst top–notch elites?] 

The attention towards K Orld Hotel reached its peak that day. 

Netizens were full of praise for the already–exposed Evadne, and naturally, they didn’t hesitate to compare her to Glynnis, a fading flower. 

It’s clear that Ms. Evadne was the winner in this game, after all, she’s the queen, who did Thaddeus think he was to challenge her? He’s in over his head! 

Glynnis thought she had delivered a fatal blow to Ms. Evadne. Little did she know, it backfired, making her the laughing stock of the town! 

Glynnis, battered and bruised from the social backlash, fell ill out of rage and had been bedridden ever since. 

Elspeth, despite her competitive nature, had no choice but to tend to her sick daughter and try her best to win Frederic’s heart, 

In her desperation, she underwent cosmetic procedures, secretly bought several sets of black lace lingerie, and even bought some aphrodisiac incense, hoping to bewitch Frederic like she did twenty years ago. 

However, Frederic seemed to deliberately avoid her, rarely coming home in the past week. Their encounters were scarce and brief. He barely even looked at her anymore! 

Elspeth was filled with resentment. 

She thought all the blame was on Evadne, that little wretch! 

The humiliation she suffered today, she would reclaim it from Evadne a thousand–fold in the future! 

But no matter how much Elspeth hated, she couldn’t overshadow the victorious glow of the Abernathy heiress. 

The grand wedding of the century, made K Group- the number one financial group in Skyrim, prominent in Elmsworth. 

Not only that, the K Group’s stocks were on the rise throughout the day, and everyone predicted that the stock price would skyrocket the following morning. 

And it didn’t end there. 

When the wedding venue was revealed, it sparked a nationwide discussion among netizens! 

[The black rose sea! Ada’s wedding is so cool!] 

[OMG! I want my wedding to be decorated like this!] 

[I’m tired of traditional weddings, K Orld Hotel’s plan is perfect!] 

Thaddeus sat in his office, attentively watching the live broadcast of Ada’s wedding. 

His cold beautiful eyes softened, and a small smile tugged at the corners of his l*ps. 

་ ་ ་ ་ ་ ་ 

He wasn’t usually interested in such events, but he knew that this wedding was the fruit of Evadne’s hard work, and therefore, it was of particular interest to him. 

A knock on the door, and Gordon walked in with a large army–green nylon bag. 

“Mr. Thaddeus, the hiking gear you asked me to prepare is ready.” 

“Thank you.” 

“Why the sudden interest in hiking this year?” Gordon asked curiously. 

“I go every year,” Thaddeus replied lightly. 

During his teenage years, to relieve psychological stress, he spent a summer volunteering in Misty Mountain Park. 

Life was simple then, aside from eating and sleeping, he followed the park ranger on hikes, assisting lost hikers or checking for safety hazards. 

It was a rare and peaceful time in his life. 

After becoming a CEO, he donated a significant amount of money to the park every year. This was a secret known only to him and the park ranger. 

“Mr. Thaddeus! Did you watch Ada’s wedding? Wow! Mrs. Abernathy is amazing!” 

Gordon’s eyes sparkled, transforming into an Evadne fanboy, “Black roses! How did she think of using black roses for the decoration? It’s surprising that Ada agreed!” 

“Because she’s not an ordinary woman. She’s Evadne.” 

Thaddeus‘ deep black eyes curved gently, This baby girl always finds a way.” 

Gordon’s eyes widened, his mouth dropping open in shock. 

Did he hear that right? 

The boss just called Mrs. Abernathy baby girl? 

Was this a sudden shift in his character, showing his softer side? 

Because of Thaddeus and Hamilton’s intervention, Cedric’s appointment as the head of the Abernathy Group’s legal department fell through. 

For the first time, the usually smooth–salling Cedric tasted the bitterness of defeat. He took a week off before returning to the Dempsey family. Upon entering the house, he was caught by Jason who had been waiting for him for a week. 

“Well, isn this our loyal lapdog secretary from Ms. Evadne’s side.” 

Cedric sneered at Jason, “Aren’t you supposed to be at your mistress’s beck and call? What are you doing back here?” 

“Cedric, don’t you have anything to explain to me?” Jason ignored his mockery and asked coldly. 

“Who the hell do you think you’re talking to, Jason?” Cedric was already on his last nerve, and Jason’s audacity was about to tip him over the edge. “First it was Elspeth, now it’s Glynnis. Mr. Cedric, you are always ready to get your hands dirty,” Jason jeered, clenching his fists in frustration. “Jason!” 

“I know you’re trying to bring honor to the Dempsey name, make us the toast of the town. But not like this, not by betraying those who helped us!” 

In a fit of rage, Jason bellowed, “Where would we be without the Ashbournes? Now you’re helping the Abernathys turn on them, have you lost your mind?” 

“Lost my mind? I’m doing this for our family!” 

Cedric was angry and hurt, totally oblivious to his own wrongdoing. “So the Ashbournes helped us out once, and now we’re supposed to be their dogs forever? There’s no such thing! If you want to play pet to Evadne, that’s your business. Arnold and I have ambitions beyond that. Don’t think we’re all happy to be kept men, dreaming of being some rich girl’s lapdog!” That was the final straw for Jason. With gritted teeth, he swung a punch that landed squarely on Cedric’s cheek. 

In his twenty–eight years of life, this was the first time he had ever hit his older brother. 

Once, he had been proud of his brother. 

Now, he felt nothing but shame.. 

Enraged and humiliated, Cedric retaliated, and the brothers ended up in a fistfight in the middle of the living room, shocking the house staff. 

But Cedric was no match for his brother and was soon pinned to the ground, taking punch after punch. 

‘Jason! Stop it!” 

Just then, Mr. and Mrs. Dempsey and Ivan, came downstairs to find the brothers fighting. The sight left them stunned. 

Ivan reacted first, rushing to pull Jason off Cedric and holding him back from behind. 

“Jason! Have you lost your mind? How could you hit Cedric?” 

“He’s lost his mind. He’s gone crazy!” 

Cedric managed to get up from the floor, clutching his face. “For that Ashbourne girl. He’s turning into a monster!” 

“The monster isn’t me, it’s you, Cedric!” Jason roared back, his eyes bloodshot. 

“Enough! Both of you, shut up!” Dave, holding Mrs. Dempsey, shouted at his sons. 

Mrs. Dempsey had never seen her sons fight like this and was beside herself with worry. 

“Jason, I heard about Cedric helping the Abernathys. Don’t blame him. It’s just his job as a lawyer.” Ivan tried to mediate, hoping to prevent another fight from breaking out. I’m leaving tonight.” 

With a bruised face, Jason announced his departure without another word. 

“Jason! Where are you going?” Mrs. Dempsey called after him in concern.
