His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 477

Chapter 477

The crowd huddled closer, ears perked and eyes glued to Frederic’s enigmatic smile.

With a sly glint in his eye, Frederic smiled as he placed his gaze at Thaddeus, “Thaddeus, come here.”

Thaddeus felt an inexplicable tightness in his chest. His brow furrowed as he gazed at the petite woman beside him, his grip on her hand inadvertently tightening – he couldn’t bear the thought of parting from her.

“Go on. I’ll be right here watching you. I won’t go anywhere.”

Evadne met his gaze with tender eyes, gently withdrawing her hand, now reddened from his firm grasp.

Left with no good reason to refuse, Thaddeus made his way to Frederic under the watchful eyes of the gathering.

Frederic greeted him with a rare paternal smile, clapped a hand on his broad shoulder, then turned to face the crowd, laughing loudly.

“Tonight, as we celebrate the new venture between Chairman Ashbourne and Mr. William Morris, I’d like to announce a joyous occasion in our family. My son Thaddeus is engaged to Edith, granddaughter of the esteemed Mr. Barry of the Fairhaven Group. The engagement party will be later this month!”

The crowd was left agape. What?! Thaddeus and Edith engaged?!

Some glanced at Edith, the soon–to–be Mrs. Abernathy, anointed by Mr. Frederic Abernathy himself.

Edith trembled with excitement, her round eyes shining with ecstasy, on the verge of tears.

She had waited for this day for what felt like an eternity, her family pulling every string, playing every card to win Frederic’s favor, to have this moment of triumph over Evadne, to turn her into a laughingstock!

The slights she had suffered from that bitch would finally be avenged! Meanwhile, others looked at Evadne with stunned, complex expressions.

Evadne’s face drained of color, her slender shoulders quaking as if she were in the midst of an icy river of endless darkness. The warmth in her blood from Thaddeus now turned to ice.

The icicles, made from her own blood, were like cruel blades piercing her heart, her lungs. The pain left her mind a blank void.

Edith watched her with a wild, triumphant smile. She thought, “Oh, how lovely, Evadne, seeing you stripped of your claws, so lost and pathetic – it’s such a beautiful sight!”

“The Abernathy Group and the Fairhaven Group uniting? That’s huge news! How come there wasn’t any whisper of it before? It feels so out of the blue!”
