His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 138

Chapter 138

Thaddeus stumbled out of the study, pale as a ghost. He felt like his chest was about to cave in.

He realized that Evadne was like a painful scar on his body, one he dared not touch. The slightest touch would send a jolt of pain through him as if his body was about to break

apart.

But what he feared to remember more than Evadne herself was the fact that she once loved him.

Thaddeus had always been a proud man, even as a child. Despite his experiences with hunger and poverty, he never allowed himself to lose his dignity or bow down to anyone. “Mr. Thaddeus,” Gordon rushed up to him, “I have three things to report.”

“Go on.” Thaddeus tried to steady himself, a thin layer of sweat forming on his forehead.

“First, Ms. Acacia is awake but not doing well. She’s been demanding to see you.”

Thaddeus‘ eyes darkened, “And the second?”

“The chairman has found a kick–a** lawyer for Elspeth. She’ll be released tomorrow morning. Word is, her cousin Earl has taken all the blame, and Elspeth is in the clear.” Gordon lowered his voice, sounding disgruntled.

“What’s the lawyer’s name?” Thaddeus frowned.

“Cedric Dempsey.”

Thaddeus inwardly cursed. Frederic was cunning indeed, managing to rope in the famous Cedric.

Gordon stepped closer, “Funny thing is, this Cedric is the brother of Mrs. Abernathy’s male secretary, Jason Dempsey. It turns out that Jason is the baby of the Dempsey family! Hard to believe, huh?”

A flicker of surprise crossed Thaddeus‘ eyes.

Though the Dempsey family wasn’t high society, they held high prestige in the legal field. The patriarch, Dave Dempsey, was a renowned judge known for his fairness. He had three sons. The eldest son Cedric had been a legal consultant for two big companies, never losing a case. The second son, Ivan, was also a strict and fair judge.

As for Jason, the youngest Dempsey, he seemed ordinary on the surface. But a closer look at his impressive resume would leave anyone gobsmacked.
