His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1165

1165 /1204

“How is that possible?!” Jason’s eyes widened in shock. “Chad needs a wheelchair to get around and is constantly on medication. He requires round-the-clock care. How could someone like that possibly handle the duties of a president? Besides, Mr. Thaddeus has Mr. Hamilton’s full support, and he and Frederic have reconciled. How could Chad possibly take him down and seize power? Who would back him? Can his body even handle it? He’d collapse under the pressure! Mr. Hamilton would never let that happen!”

“But you have to remember, there are only two heirs to the Abernathy Group: Chad and Thaddeus,” Evadne said, her eyes closed in deep thought, biting the inside of her cheek until it bled. “If Thaddeus falls, and the entire company suffers because of it, then even as much as his grandfather loves him, he’d have to put the family first. Not to mention, ever since Chad returned, Mr. Frederic has shifted from favoring Thaddeus to being neutral. If it comes down to it, it’s entirely possible that his grandfather will give up on Thaddeus and let Chad take over.”

Jason’s face turned pale at her words.

Evadne took a deep, shaky breath. “Of course, that’s the worst-case scenario. In his grandfather’s eyes, his grandson’s well-being is more important than power. But if this fight continues, who knows what other insane things Chad might do. His grandfather has been living with that bloody secret, under immense pressure, for so many years. He must be in agony.”

“Ms. Evadne, we have to do something to help Mr. Thaddeus get through this!” Jason leaned forward, his face etched with anxiety as he looked at her. “The Abernathy Group is the culmination of his life’s work. We can’t let it fall into the hands of a schemer!”

“Jason, more than you, more than anyone, I want Thaddeus to win. If justice won’t prevail, I’ll walk a darker path. I will protect Thaddeus and the Abernathy Group, no matter what it takes.” After a moment of contemplation, Evadne opened her eyes again, a fierce crimson light in their depths. “Ever since Chasel left, Chad has had Alexia by Thaddeus’s side. The illicit medication he’s been taking was all supplied by Chad through her. He’s been watching from the shadows, waiting for the right moment to contact the press and call the police. It was a perfectly executed, lightning-fast attack that caught everyone off guard.”

“That conniving bastard!” Jason cursed under his breath.

“Jason, we need to send a top-tier, trustworthy lawyer over there immediately,” Evadne said, her mind already working through every angle. “Right now, aside from his grandfather, I don’t trust anyone at the Abernathy Group. But Hamilton is getting older, and his spirit is willing but his body is weak. It’s not impossible that Chad has bought off someone else in his inner circle besides Mr. Murray.”
