Chapter 636

The Chambers Group was in disarray, and Thaddeus was equally swamped.

Emeric, the patriarch of the Abernathy family, had just stabilized after a health scare. Having tended to his father–in–law’s needs, Thaddeus was now fervently working on establishing a charitable foundation in his late mother’s name.

Thaddeus refocused on the documents, seemingly uninterested in the implications. “Frederic hasn’t visited Chad much over the years. An occasional trip shouldn’t matter”

“But he chose to go now, just after you won that lawsuit against Elspeth and after Mr. Hamilton delegated a significant share of his power to you. That’s a red flag, Mr. Thaddeus!”

Gordon, the right–hand man akin to a chief steward, was nearly frantic. “Frederic must fear your growing influence, worrying that he can no longer control you. So, he’s seeking to side with and bolster Mr. Chad against you!”
