His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 348

At that instant, Thaddeus felt utterly ridiculous..

He had thought that although Edith had strayed, deep down she still preserved some innocence from her childhood. After all, she was his best friend’s only sister.

But it turned out, he had vastly overestimated Edith’s character.

She shared only blood ties with Jareth, nothing more!

She was already spoiled, perhaps had been a bad apple from the start. He had only seen her through rose–tinted glasses because she was Jareth’s sister.

Well, if that was the case, he no longer needed to consider his good friend, to hold back.

“What nonsense are you speaking! Something about getting hit by a car. If something were to happen to you, how could your mother go on?” Mrs. Fairhaven pulled out a handkerchief, tears welling in her eyes.

“Edith is my only granddaughter, the apple of my eye! We’ve raised her with all the luxuries the Fairhaven fortune could provide. She’s never known hardship! She would even curse herself just to prove her innocence to you, which shows every word she says is the truth!”

Barry stroked Edith’s hair, staring angrily at Thaddeus. “Edith may be a bit spoiled, but she’s never lied! Is the grandson of the Hamilton such a coward, willing to act but not willing to take responsibility?”

Thaddeus‘ eyes narrowed, his fists clenched, suppressing his boiling anger.

“Mr. Barry, your words are quite offensive!”

Before so many people, Frederic could not tolerate someone insulting his son so brazenly, dragging even him into the mud, “Stick to the matter at hand! If you have a complaint, just say it!

Our families are among the most reputable in Elmsworth. Your coming here tonight has already been messy enough. Do you really want to start a feud with the Abernathy Group?”

Edith’s eyes gleamed with a sinister light.

She had brought her grandfather here with a grand display, intending to use his power to force Thaddeus to marry her!

She didn’t want to sever ties with the Abernathys, that would be a waste!

“Mr. Frederic, I have two reasonable requests!”

Barry’s face fell, “First, I want your son to apologize to Edith now! After all, it was because of Thad that my granddaughter was hounded by the press that night, nearly ruining her reputation!

Originally, I wanted the Abernathy Group to hold a press conference, but you’re right, we’re both public figures, making a big deal out of this would be embarrassing for the Abernathys. So, a private apology, your son admitting his mistake to my granddaughter, and I won’t pursue the matter further!”

The Abernathy family’s staff, who had been watching, could hardly stand it! Each showed a look of indignation.

Their young master was such a noble figure, yet he was being bullied by this old man!

They wanted to set the dogs on this old fool!
