Chapter 625

Thaddeus had barely opened his mouth when everyone in the room exchanged puzzled glances before their eyes landed on Bevis with an air of disbelief.

Bevis was drenched in a cold sweat, his gaze fixed on the man’s stern face in shock!

The misappropriation of company funds to cover his losses had been intercepted by Emeric out of brotherly love, and no one in the corporation knew the real story. How on earth did this guy find out? Did Emeric tell him?

This meant that his big brother had already acknowledged Thaddeus as his son-in-law, otherwise how could such confidential information be shared with him?

If the two joined forces, Bevis would be left without a leg to stand on at the company!

“Mr. Abernathy, you really have a way with jokes. Five million? I’m afraid I don’t follow.”

Bevis forced a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “Besides, even if a bit of money was lost, it’s all trivial. After all, I’m one of the Ashbournes. Not even ten million would be missed-l wouldn’t be short a dime. Mr. Abernathy, I think you might have picked up some wild rumors somewhere. But no matter, we’ll soon be family, and I don’t mind such trifles!”

Thaddeus clenched his fists in anger, itching to send Bevis flying with a well-placed punch. He had heard from Evadne how shameless Bevis could be, but he never expected him to be so utterly brazen!

Just then, the hospital room door burst open-

Evadne appeared alone before their eyes, her gaze turning icy.

Evadne had an innate composure and dignity that even subdued these seasoned business sharks, compelling them not to underestimate her.

“I was wondering who was quacking away outside like an annoying duck, disturbing my dad’s peace. Turns out it’s you.”

With just one casual remark, Bevis’ entourage fell silent as mice!
