His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 280

Those simple words were enough to send Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy into a fit of apoplectic rage, their tongues practically spewing fire!

Elspeth glared at Thaddeus with a venomous stare, hiding behind Frederic like a vengeful spirit, her eyes as piercing as needles jabbed into a voodoo doll! “Thaddeus! Have you forgotten who you are?” Frederic’s anger was palpable, his body shaking with fury.

“No need for your concern, reminding me again and again that I’m an Abernathy and your son.”

Thaddeus‘ cold lips curved into a smirk, “If not for your reminders, I might have forgotten.”

“Ungrateful brat! Scoundrel!”

Frederic’s eyes were bloodshot, his anger making him dizzy. He pointed at Thaddeus‘ face, “I’m asking you one last time, are you determined to accept the Ashbourne family’s invitation this weekend?”

“Thaddeus, my boy, why are you being so reckless?”

Elspeth felt it was time to step in, she put on an air of a caring mother worrying about the bigger picture, “Whether I celebrate my birthday or not is not important. But you know very well your father and Emeric have a feud, and Evadne has been causing us trouble time and again. How can you, at this critical time, boost their morale while undermining your own? As the CEO, wouldn’t your absence be a slap in your father’s face?”

“Mrs. Elspeth.”

Thaddeus‘ eyes were dark, his tone icy, “If your birthday isn’t that important, then perhaps you shouldn’t celebrate it at all. You, your daughter, and your relatives, you’ve all been exploiting your positions, causing multiple scandals that have pushed the company to the brink of disaster, affecting its interests. In Elmsworth, your reputation is notorious. If you don’t keep a low profile now but instead want to celebrate your birthday ostentatiously, are you treating the public as fools or assuming the internet has no memory?”

Elspeth’s eyes were bright red, her fists trembling as if she was having a Parkinson’s episode.

Hearing this, Frederic’s partiality towards Elspeth wavered.

Then, unfortunately, Thaddeus added, “If Mr. Frederic wishes to play the loving husband, perhaps you shouldn’t expect everyone in this house to cater to your vanity, to swallow the distasteful food you serve.”

Ah!

Elspeth was so angry her head was buzzing, she was about to faint!

“What did you just say? Are you insulting your own father?”

Frederic was so overwhelmed by his son’s words that he forgot about Elspeth. He felt like he was being ridiculed by his own son, his chest felt tight! “Where is the butler?”

Frederic always maintained a cultured image in public, rarely showing his anger to this extent.

But this time, Thaddeus was blatantly defying him, siding with Emeric’s little witch, and even challenging his authority, implying that he was an accomplice to Elspeth’s wrongdoings!
