His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 128

In just a few short hours, the Abernathy Group's bad news was spreading like wildfire on the internet, shooting straight to the top of the trending list.

The video of Elspeth being escorted off the golf course also made its way online, spreading like a crazy virus.

In theory, a big fat cat like the Abernathy Group could totally put the squeeze on the media and block the news.

But, Evadne went with a "shoot first, ask questions later" strategy. By the time the Abernathy Group reacted, it was too late.

Even if they tried to put the squeeze on, it would be like trying to squeeze blood from a stone.

The TV station where World Wonders Weekly was aired was backed by the big cheese, the K Group. If Evadne was in a good mood, they could totally run the news of Elspeth being escorted off all day long.

And then there were a bunch of creative netizens who turned Elspeth and Glynnis's embarrassing moments into a whole set of memes for everyone to download and share.

In order to quell the public opinion, Frederic was busy trying to bail out Elspeth from the prosecutor's office. He was running around like a headless chicken.

Meanwhile, Evadne, having won the first battle, happily returned to the K World Hotel.

She enjoyed a luxurious afternoon tea and sat in her office playing games while video chatting with Cassius, giving him the lowdown on the day's battles.

"I've reserved a private room at our hotel's restaurant, so we can meet with Mr. Bartley the day after tomorrow. Hopefully, we can completely secure the Westguard deal within the week!"

Evadne was in high spirits, getting a kick out of chopping down players in her game.

"Elspeth is currently being grilled by Arnold. Although Arnold seems cheerful, he's all business when it comes to work. If he doesn't get any valuable leads from Elspeth, he won't let her off the hook."

In the video, Cassius was sitting in his CEO's office, all business. Despite his smile, there was an air of authority about him.

"In the end, it won't make much difference. Elspeth will still be let go." Evadne said confidently.

"Do you want her to get out?" Cassius asked suggestively.

"What can I do if I don't? We may not be able to pin anything on her."

Evadne squinted her sly eyes, wielding a bloody chainsaw and chopping down a player. "Elspeth's gotten where she is now not just because of Frederic's favoritism, but also her own smarts and deep scheming. She and her cousin Earl collude in shady dealings, and Earl is her scapegoat. She stays in the shadows, reaping the rewards without getting her hands dirty, her plans seamless."

Cassius nodded, deep in thought. "You're right. It's just a pity."

"There's no pity." Evadne smiled. "As long as we the K Group can profit, that's all that matters. Besides, I never intended to take down Elspeth in one go. What I want is not just to strip her of her position as vice-chair of the board of directors, but also to make her lose Frederic's trust. I want Frederic to feel that the Abernathy group lost this project and suffered a huge loss because of Elspeth."

This would be a big issue between the couple.

Even if they couldn't beat their opponent in one go, it was good to hit their morale.

Elspeth might feel like she's in jail in the future days of the Abernathy family's life.

"Evadne, do you know what I want to do the most right now?" Cassius leaned forward with a smile.

"Hmm? What?"

"I want to retire right away and give my position to you." Cassius sighed, "Really, there's no one more suitable to be the CEO of the K Group than you."

When it came to this, Evadne got a bit down.

The long list of blind dates was like a mountain pressing on her head. She felt that even if she died, Emeric would bring the list of blind dates to her grave.

At this time, her sister Nydia called.

Evadne picked up the phone and laughed, "Cassius, I'll talk to you later. Nydia is calling me."

"Okay, I heard Nydia is back in Elmsworth. You should spend more time with her and take care of her." Cassius instructed gently.

"I will, she's my only sister. If I don't spoil her, who will?"

Actually, Evadne always felt a bit guilty towards Nydia. In theory, as the youngest, Nydia should be more taken care of and loved at home.
