Chapter 338

Everyone was stunned,

Mr. Thaddeus sure had a sharp tongue!

These business tycoons, despite their poker faces, couldn’t help but cast a gaze of disdain towards Bevis.

Indeed, if one wanted to talk business, then talk business. But to suddenly extend an invitation, insisting on including his unfamiliar daughter, his intentions were as clear as day!

However, Bevis probably didn’t expect Thaddeus to be so brutally straightforward. The moment his cunning thoughts surfaced, Thaddeus immediately snuffed them out.

Bevis, usually a man of concealed emotions, was struggling to maintain his smile, his expression gradually stiffening.

“Mr. Thaddeus, you are right, My apologies for my abruptness. I should have sent a proper invitation. I was just so excited to see Mr. Frederic tonight.”

“If you’re excited to see my father, then invite him. He’s the Chairman of the Abernathy Group. You can talk to him directly.”

T

Thaddeus shot Bevis a cold glance, then shifted his glaze, his tone even frostier. “I just wonder, does Chairman Emeric know that you are discussing business with the Abernathy Group?”

Bevis was taken aback, but quickly laughed it off. “My brother entrusted me with this project and gave me full authority. Of course, I would consider partnering with a powerful group first. If my brother knew we could cooperate with the Abernathy Group, he would be thrilled and offer his full support.”

Thaddeus smirked coldly, his eyes flashing with sharpness. “If Chairman Emeric knew you privately approached the ex–husband of Miss Ashbourne, would he still be thrilled and supportive?”

Everyone gasped.

Frederic frowned deeply and reprimanded, “Thaddeus, why are you bringing this up here?”

Bevis was taken aback, mouth half open, mind racing..

Ex–husband?

Mr. Thaddeus of the Abernathy Group was Evadne’s ex–husband?

When did they get married and when did they get divorced? The Ashbourne family sure kept their secrets well!

“Some things, if left unsaid, could lead to unnecessary trouble.”

Thaddeus said coldly, “Apart from Chairman Emeric and Miss Ashbourne, I won’t discuss cooperation with anyone else from the K Group, and I certainly won’t meet any woman privately behind Evadne’s back, not even your daughter. I don’t want to upset Evadne over something unnecessary.”

Everyone gasped. This was practically a public declaration of love!

Frederic coughed lightly, shooting his son a stern glance. “Alright, Thaddeus, there’s no need to be so blunt.”
