Chapter 736

Glynnis‘ heart skipped a beat as Thaddeus walked into the room. She suddenly felt like a comered mouse, desperately wishing she could scurry away into the shadows and disappear.

Frederic’s aloof gaze swept over Thaddeus‘ stern face before he quickly got to his feet.

“Dad, why didn’t you give me a heads–up? I would have come to meet you,” Frederic said as he approached.

“I’m not a guest here, this is my house. Why would I need any pomp and circumstance from Mr. Frederic? Hamilton Abernathy snorted coldly; he was never one to mince words with his only son.

Frederic’s expression darkened a shade.

Dad, don’t you also want to know who’s been backstabbing Abernathy Enterprises?

His gaze turned sharp as a blade, and it was zeroing in on Glynnis, whose face twisted with fear.
