His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

With about eighty percent of his strength. Thaddeus slapped her.

He knew the power of his hands, forged in the military, wielding weapons with lethal force. If he had used full strength, Elspeth would not only be searching the floor for her teeth, but likely knocked out cold.

He didn’t want to give her the excuse to leave. There was still a score to settle between Evadne and her!

Everyone was in shock, witnessing Thaddeus strike Elspeth, yet no one dared intervene.

In this house, even Mr. Frederic couldn’t control Thaddeus, so who could?

“Ah!” Glynnis screamed, covering her mouth, her body trembling in fear, legs shaking violently.

Seeing her mother get hit, she didn’t even have the courage to step forward and stop it.

The folks of the Fairhaven family were also flabbergasted.

Even though Elspeth had crossed lines with her words, she was after all Frederic’s wife, Thaddeus‘ stepmother, and technically an elder. Thaddeus dared to slap her in the face in front of everyone?

Such audacity! This wasn’t just a slap on Elspeth’s face, but also a slap on his own father’s face!

Only Jareth was looking at Thaddeus with fervent admiration. He took a deep breath, a slow smile forming on his lips, as a wave of deep emotion stirred within him.

He knew Thaddeus had been holding back for a long time. As his only close friend, no one understood better than him how Thaddeus had endured all these years in this house.

“Frederic, my ears. I can’t hear anything!”

Elspeth, covering her ears and crying hysterically. threw herself at Frederic, clinging to him desperately. Blood was trickling down her lips, her meticulously styled hair was a mess, and her makeup was ruined by her tears. Her dignified image as a lady was completely shattered. “I’m deaf. Your son has made me deaf! Are you just going to let him do this? How could he dare to strike an elder?”

Evadne clearly saw blood seeping from between Elspeth’s fingers. She looked at Thaddeus, whose face was as hard as iron.

As expected, Elspeth’s eardrum must have been ruptured.

Damn, that felt good!

Frederic looked down at Elspeth, his gaze complex.

There was still a faint ache in his heart, but he knew clearly that the pain wasn’t for Elspeth, but for a woman he had buried deep in his heart long ago.

“Thaddeus, what has gotten into you? How could you strike an elder?” He had to step in.

Thaddeus curled his lips in a chilling smile, “Elder? Which tree does she fall from to be my elder? In the entire Abernathy family, my grandfather is my elder, you are my elder, and Alva is my elder. She does not have a place among those I respect.”

“Mr. Thaddeus.” Alva, being referred to, showed a grateful smile.

Elspeth’s swollen face was as red as a piece of liver, a surge of anger and humiliation welling up within her.
