His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 279

Frederic’s eyes narrowed, his voice hard and sharp. “What the hell are you talking about? What does Emeric’s woman have to do with me?”

“Years ago, before you even knew me, you were the investor behind NexGen Network. That was just when Myra was making a name for herself! Rumors were flying that you were Myra’s sugar daddy. You were even caught meeting her in secret. Are you really saying there was nothing between you two?”

Every time Elspeth thought about Myra, she couldn’t help but bring this issue up, her eyes turning a furious shade of green.

Back then, she chose Frederic not just because he was the heir to the Abernathy Group, but because everyone was saying that he was the man behind Myra. She wanted to take away everything that Myra had.

Even if she couldn’t, she wanted to destroy it with her own hands!

Frederic frowned, a slow burning anger rising in the depths of his eyes. “There was nothing between Myra and me.”

Elspeth flinched under his gaze, her heart suddenly feeling timid.

‘Let’s say, hypothetically, that there was something between us. Do you think I would’ve left Myra and married you? I’m not the kind of man who keeps a mistress hidden away, too afraid to bring her home.”

Elspeth felt as if her throat was being strangled, her breath hitching in her chest.

At first glance, there was nothing wrong with his words.

But they stung her ears like a slap in the face!

It was as if she was just a substitute for Myra, that Frederic married her as a second choice!

“So you did like her back then, didn’t you? You still haven’t let her go, have you?”

Elspeth shook Frederic’s arm with all her strength, her teary eyes wide as she asked, “Frederic! That woman is a lowlife! She had affairs with many high–profile men in the entertainment industry, and she ruined her own reputation with drugs! Any man who got involved with her would destroy his own reputation! She’s only fit to be Emeric’s shameful mistress!”

Frederic felt an uncomfortable pang in his heart at her words.

Indeed, he had met Myra before he knew Elspeth.

And at that time, whether in terms of fame, beauty, or talent, Elspeth was inferior to Myra.

In his memory, Myra was not despicable like Elspeth described. Even after she tested positive for drugs and left the entertainment industry in disgrace, he believed she had been framed and did not look down on her because of it.

“I know what kind of person Myra is. And besides, if she was really as bad as you say, do you think Emeric would’ve married her?”

Frederic’s expression was even colder than before. “Back then, I just felt bad for Myra. She was ostracized and bullied by her fellow artists, but she never said a word. As one of the shareholders and bosses, and considering she was a promising artist, I feel it reasonable to look after her. I don’t understand why you’re bringing up these old rumors now. I chose to marry you because you understood and accepted me, because you were generous and forgiving. If you keep bringing up these irrelevant things, I can only assume that you’re not the person I thought you were. I have to wonder if I made the right choice marrying you.” Elspeth’s eyes were wide with shock, her face scrunching up in disbelief.
