His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 461

Frederic glared at his wayward son, his expression as stormy as a raging sea.

And trailing behind him, besides his loyal right–hand man Dennis and a phalanx of bodyguards, was Glynnis, looking like she’d just eaten a fly.

Truth be told, Glynnis would rather be anywhere but here to face Elspeth; she hadn’t set foot outside the Windermere Estate since the horse race debacle,

Elspeth, as her flesh and blood, had hung their dirty laundry out for all to see!

These days, she couldn’t even glance at the TV without cringing. A quick scroll through Facebook, and there they were, snide comments and jabs at Elspeth.

She even had to mute all those groups. But they never stopped gossiping about the mother–daughter duo.

[Now when I think about it, I feel sorry for poor Elspeth. Frederic probably hasn’t touched her in ages. Who else would be so desperate to touch themselves, and with such fervor?]

[Well, once you’ve had kids, you’re just another piece of furniture to men. Even Elspeth, with her star–studded past, couldn’t escape that fate.]

[What does middle age have to do with it? Elspeth’s on drugs, wetting herself. If I were Frederic, I’d be six feet under from the shame. What a family tragedy!]

[The real victim here is Glynnis. No decent beau and now her mom’s been carted off by the cops in broad daylight.]

[Which respectable family would want to tie the knot with that kind of scandal hanging over them? Talk about embarrassing.]

Those so–called friends of hers sure didn’t pull any punches when kicking her while she was down. More like ‘frenemies‘ if you might ask!

But right now, Glynnis had to play the part of the concerned daughter. No matter Frederic’s stance on Elspeth, she had to show her father that she was the dutiful, caring daughter, better than that simpleton Marilla by miles!

She had just witnessed Thaddeus throw a punch at Cedric, their words as clear as day to everyone present. Inside, she smirked.

Go ahead Thaddeus, make a spectacle for that woman. In the end, you’ll just be another disappointment to dad, and that CEO position will slip right from under you.

“What am I doing? You saw it clear enough,” Thaddeus said, icy and unyielding, his eyes narrowing with authority.

“Haven’t you realized who you are? This is a precinct! How are you any different from a street thug when you hit someone? It’s disgraceful! Foolish!”

Frederic had recently warmed slightly to his son, feeling a twinge of guilt for mistreating Cynthia. But seeing him now, so reckless and impulsive for Evadne’s sake, he found his son utterly repulsive.

The officers around, including Aaron, heard the patriarch of the Abernathy Group spout such nonsense and shook their heads in disdain.

“What sort of leadership is this? He runs a corporation? Ridiculous is what it is.”

“Yeah, hitting’s wrong, but to him, it seems more about losing face than morality. His values are all out of whack!”
