His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 606

The news was a cause for celebration, yet the air hung heavy with silence

Evadne paused, her voice even, “Aaron told me that Elspeth was a mess before the execution. She was so scared she lost control of the bladder, couldn’t even walk. They had to drag her to the execution chamber. It was quite the spectacle”

Thaddeus‘ lips barely moved, his voice a hoarse whisper, “Was it lethal injection or a firing squad?”

“Injection”

Evadne locked eyes with the man’s deep gaze, her lips curling slightly. “A quick bullet would have been too kind. She writhed in agony for ten minutes after the poison hit her system, before her heart finally stopped. Tied to a chair, with limbs stiff and face. distorted, those brief ten minutes were far from enough to atone for her sins, but at least she got what she deserved.

Thaddeus eyelids drooped slowly, a tumult of emotions rising and falling in his chest.

Elspeth was gone. He should have been overjoyed, but the delayed gratification left him less thrilled than he had anticipated.

“After her death, the court notified Frederic to claim the b*dy for cremation Technically, they were still married, so he was her next of kin. But he refused to show up, so they had no choice but to send Elspeth’s b*dy to the crematorium”

Evadne’s lips twisted into a sardonic smile, “You’d think after all they’d been through, and after she bore heirs for the Abernathy family, Frederic could at least see her off one last time. It’s a pity, really”

“Hmph! If he had gone to pick up that witch’s b*dy, he might as well quit being CEO and start managing a landfill

Hamilton’s eyes sparkled as he slapped his thigh, “Anyway, my grandson has avenged a deep–seated vendetta, and that’s cause for a grand celebration Murray, tell the chef to prepare some extra special dishes tonight, and open a fine bottle of wine to celebrate properly

Murray was in high spirits also, “Right away, sir. I’ll see to it immediately

“And while you’re at it, send someone to buy some fireworks to set off at the gate. We need to clear the bad air!”

Thaddeus couldn’t help but smile, “Grandpa Hamilton, that’s not necessary. Besides, this place is so secluded, where would you even find fireworks around here? Don’t trouble Murray with such a task.”

Murray, there’s a fireworks shop about three miles from Grandpa’s mansion. Lused to buy them there for him. You can send someone; they should still be open Evadne offered with a sweet grin.

Thaddeus looked at Evadne, surprised and secretly impressed.

Used to? When had she been doing all this without him noticing?

Murray gave Evadne a thumbs–up. “When it comes to knowing Mr. Hamilton Abernathy, no one compares to Ms. Ashbourne You’re not just his granddaughter–in–law, you’re like his own flesh and blood.”

Flattered by the compliment, even the usually confident Evadne intertwined her fingers, blushing.

has always been so devoted to me. No one in the Abernathy family comes close to her. Hamilton mused, his gaze falling on Thaddeus bewildered face with a hint of reproach, “You probably don’t even know all my habits or what I like, but Ilana knows them by heart. During your three years of marriage, llana often visited to keep me company. I love fireworks, especially during the holidays. llana always tried her hardest to indulge my whims.
