His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 410

Chapter 410

Having heard she was not allowed to go out, Elspeth was throwing tantrum at home, cursing anyone within sight.

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Abernathy, but this is Mr. Abernathy’s order. We have to comply”

Frederic’s secretary looked at her coldly, his tone barely hiding his censure, “I suggest you go back to your room and save us all the trouble. After all, because of whole Abernathy Group is in chaos. Please don’t add more trouble to Mr. Abernathy’s plate.”

“How dare you!”

With a loud slap, Elspeth, her eyes blazing, slapped Dennis across the face, “I’m Mr. Abernathy’s wife! You’re nothing but a lackey. How dare you speak to me like that?!”

Dennis chuckled, not angry at all, “Indeed, Mr. Abernathy has been good to me. But isn’t it true that you are also taking advantage of Mr. Abernathy’s pqwer, disregarding the rules, and freely abusing your subordinates?”

Elspeth was momentarily stunned, then the meaning of his words sank in. The cheek of him, calling her a lackey too?!

Just as Elspeth was about to slap him again to teach him a lesson, Frederic walked in, expressionless.

“Frederic!” Elspeth immediately pulled back her hand, and with tears streaming down her face, fell into her husband’s arms, “You’re finally back. I can’t go on without you by my side.”

She changed her demeanor in a second, no longer the shrew from a moment ago.

Dennis scoffed, nothing but contempt on his face.

“I wasn’t around, but you seemed to be doing just fine, even had the energy to discipline my secretary.” Frederic’s lips curled in a cold smirk, his gaze devoid of warmth, making her skin crawl.

“Frederic, I saw that the rumors about me at the funeral have been suppressed online. You did it, didn’t you?”

Elspeth, with tears in her eyes, tried to snuggle into his arms, “I knew it. You would do this for me, Frederic. You wouldn’t ignore me when I’m in trouble:”

Frederic abruptly stepped back, leaving Elspeth lunging at thin air.

She looked up in surprise, meeting his icy gaze.

“Who told you that I did it for you?” Frederic scoffed, “I did it for the Abernathy family, for the Abernathy Group.”

“Frederic.” Elspeth was dumbstruck, unable to believe what her husband just said.

“Elspeth, I am indeed your husband, but my more important role is as the chairman of the Abernathy Group, not a tool to clean up your messes time and again.”

Frederic looked away, not wanting to look at her any longer, “This is the last time. Next time, I will throw you out to be criticized by everyone. Even if you become a pariah, it will have nothing to do with me or the Abernathy Group. The mess you made should be cleaned up by yourself. Nobody is obligated to take responsibility for your mistakes.”

After that, he turned to leave without lingering, but was grabbed by Elspeth, “Frederic! How could you say that?! I’m your wife! I’m your loved one! How can you bear to throw me to the wolves?!”

“Husband and wife? Don’t insult those words.”

Frederic laughed bitterly, taking her fingers off his arm one by one, “Our family is not big enough to accommodate a lawless, trouble–making person like you. I can’t take you as my wife anymore.”

“Frederic! You want to divorce me?!” Elspeth was almost hysterical.
