His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 192

Thaddeus stepped out from the CEO's office and headed back to his own.

"Mr. Thaddeus! How'd it go? Your father didn't give you a hard time, did he?" Gordon had already prepared coffee for him, asking the question with a worried expression and a cautious tone.

Thaddeus elegantly settled down on the couch by his desk and took a sip of his coffee, his eyes filled with gloom.

"He didn't give me a hard time."

Gordon exhaled in relief, his heart relaxing.

"That's impossible." Thaddeus continued.

Gordon's eyes widened, his anxiety returning, "I knew it! He wouldn't make things easy for you! He's a total slacker!"

"I sometimes wish he was a slacker. I wish I wasn't his actual son."

The coffee that Thaddeus had been drinking suddenly lost its rich flavor, leaving only a bitter taste, "Unfortunately, he is indeed my father."

"Ugh!" Gordon sighed in frustration, at a loss for words.

"Frederic has now handed the wedding project of Ada over to Glynnis."

"What? Oh my God!"

Gordon was shocked, cursing in disbelief, "It was your idea to use Ada's wedding to boost the reputation of the Abernathy Hotel. You led the team, held endless meetings, and worked day and night. If that's not hard work, then what is? Now, this happens. No one could've imagined this. Why does he not remember all the work you've put in and just hands your project to someone else? This must be that old hag Elspeth's doing!"

"It's not just that. If Glynnis manages to pull this off, the management of Abernathy Hotel will be handed over to her." Thaddeus said coldly, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Gordon gasped, wildly pulling at his own hair.

That old geezer Frederic, who was usually not much good at running the company, sure knew how to deal with his son!

"So, you didn't fight for it? Did you just let Glynnis take your project?"

"Is it necessary? Frederic and his daughter are playing the same game. From the beginning, what Frederic wanted was to cut my power."

Thaddeus looked calm and not particularly angry. He continued, "Glynnis just gave him an excuse."

If he was going to get mad over something like this, he would've been dead from high blood pressure a long time ago.

"So are we just gonna sit back and take it?" Gordon gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment.

Thaddeus kept silent, just sipping his coffee.

"Mr. Thaddeus, I gotta say, I'm starting to get pretty pissed at Mrs. Abernathy!" Gordon frowned, his mouth puckered up like a catfish.

"You usually respect Mrs. Abernathy so much. You always seem so happy to talk about her. Have you changed your mind about her?" Thaddeus teased him with a smirk.

"That's personal, and this is business. It's different. I suspect Mrs. Abernathy is out for revenge. She wants to push you into the fire pit, and she wants you dead!" Gordon was really angry this time, speaking his mind.

"I understand her feelings. After all, I did hurt her in the past." Thaddeus said honestly, his heart aching a bit as he thought of the past.

"But at this rate, your position in the company could be in jeopardy!"

Gordon looked extremely worried, "She's the darling of the Ashbourne family, with so many relatives looking after her. Her father loves her so much, and she probably doesn't understand your struggles. In the Abernathy Group, you're all alone, in a precarious position. She keeps using her family's power to cause trouble for you. One day you won't be able to handle it!"

"Don't worry, I won't be defeated that easily."

Thaddeus gave a faint smile, "If I was that easy to defeat, I wouldn't be worth her deep attention, and she wouldn't be my wife. So this time, I have a counter-strategy."

"Really? What is it?"

Thaddeus closed his eyes and took a moment of rest, his lips curling up slightly, showing a hint of a gentle smile.

After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Let Evadne win thoroughly."

Gordon looked at him in surprise, in utter disbelief.

But then, he quickly understood the deeper meaning behind Mr. Thaddeus' words.

If they couldn't win it all, then they would go down together with their enemy!

"This time, I won't let anyone or anything stand in her way."

Thaddeus had originally planned to attend a senior-level meeting in the evening, but he canceled it, drove himself to K World Hotel.

As soon as he walked into the lobby, a wave of emotions washed over him.

He remembered the first time he visited Evadne here, she made him climb the stairs and sent a double to deal with him, leaving him empty-handed.

No woman had ever made him feel so dejected, not even those who had used and betrayed him, they only made him feel anger.
