His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 282

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 l*ps. 

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.
