The secretary was busy turning on the TV, tuning it to the news channel.
It was World Wonders Weekly again.
Thaddeus frowned. Ever since the Westguard project was stolen away from him, he had been feeling down every time he saw this news show.
"Welcome to World Wonders Weekly. First up is today's headline. International movie star Ada arrived in Elmsworth last night, attracting a large number of fans and media attention. It is reported that Ada came to Elmsworth to fulfill her sick mother's wish and to hold her wedding in her mother's hometown. The renowned Abernathy Hotel and K World Hotel had been vying for the opportunity to host Ada's wedding. After days of competition, Ada finally picked her ideal hotel."
Thaddeus was dry-mouthed and his throat tightened as he stared fixedly at the screen.
"And that is, K World Hotel. Congratulations to K World Hotel for successfully securing the hosting rights to Ada's wedding!"
Instantly, Thaddeus felt a heavy sinking feeling. His ears rang and his head throbbed!
On the other hand, a smile appeared on Glynnis's face.
For her, the worse the situation for Thaddeus, the more incompetent he seemed, and the greater her chances of gaining power!
Next, the program shifted to Ada, who had accepted an interview from World Wonders Weekly and briefly explained why she chose K Orld.
Ada said, "Abernathy Hotel is also a very good hotel, but I personally prefer K World Hotel's wedding planning proposal. It has nothing to do with the hotel's strength, it's just my personal choice."
Frederic couldn't bear to listen anymore. He grabbed the remote and turned off the TV, then threw the remote onto the table.
"Psh, there's no point in worrying about short-term gains and losses now. We've completely lost! Not only did we fail to host Ada's wedding, but our promotion last night actually helped others. How do you plan to salvage this situation?!"
Thaddeus was pale. Before he could say anything, Glynnis quickly comforted, "Dad, don't be angry, take care of your health."
She had learned well from her mother Elspeth, defending Thaddeus at this time to deepen Frederic's resentment towards him. "Ada herself said, it was her personal choice and has nothing to do with the Abernathy Group. And Thaddeus has done his best. If anything, blame that sneaky and despicable woman Evadne. She's always able to exploit our weaknesses."
"In business competition, it's all about give and take. Methods don't matter."
Thaddeus raised his eyes coldly, a chill in his gaze that made Glynnis shiver. "Evadne did nothing wrong. It was us who let down our guard."
Glynnis's eyes were dark, her teeth clenched in frustration. They were already divorced, and he was thinking of protecting her now. What was he doing before!
But this was also good. The more he protected Evadne, the faster he was digging his own grave.
"Thaddeus, did you deliberately go easy on Evadne and lose to her?" Frederic asked coldly.
"No." Thaddeus lowered his eyes.
"I want to tell you, you're already divorced from Evadne. She has nothing to do with the Abernathy family anymore! You can only be business enemies when you meet, and you can't even be friends! That girl is cunning and ruthless, always causing trouble for us. I've spared her for the sake of your past relationship, but that doesn't mean I will keep indulging her and let her do as she pleases!" Frederic was burning with anger, and slammed his hand on the table. He was truly upset.
Thaddeus stared at Frederic's angry face, his fists clenched and his eyes glaring at Frederic.
"Thaddeus, are you trying to defy me? What's with that look?"
Frederic trembled, his heart tightening.
When Thaddeus' mother committed suicide, she also stared at him with the same cold and ruthless eyes!
