His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1179

Thaddeus’s gaze followed the man’s hand down to the nameplate. The name “Thaddeus, President” had been replaced with “Chad.” He was in such a hurry, as if he wanted to erase every trace of Thaddeus from the Abernathy Group overnight.

“Yesterday morning, at the emergency board meeting, I won by an overwhelming majority to become the new president,” Chad said, steepling his fingers under his chin. “Your secretary can begin the handover with mine shortly. I’ve already had all of your personal belongings packed and sent back to Windermere Estate. You’ve worked hard all these years, Thaddeus. You can leave the future of the Abernathy Group to me now.”

The air was thick with a dead silence.

Thaddeus’s long lashes trembled, and then, unexpectedly, his lips curved into a faint smile. He casually slipped a hand into his pocket and sank into the sofa, his long legs spread in a relaxed, almost reckless posture he had never before displayed. It was as if losing the presidency had unshackled him, bringing a dormant part of him to life.

Chad watched him, his eyes half-closed.

“Brother, you really didn’t have to go to all this trouble. If you had just told me from the start that you wanted this position back, I would have stepped down without a fight. After all, if it weren’t for the kidnapping that ruined your health, you, as the eldest son, would have been the rightful heir, wouldn’t you?”

Thaddeus was a military man, known for his upright and disciplined demeanor. But in that moment, in Chad’s eyes, he seemed almost carefree, with a hint of wildness. It was as if the pressure had forced a different personality to the surface.

“But you shouldn’t have schemed. You shouldn’t have used such underhanded methods to ruin my reputation and drag innocent people into this,” Thaddeus said, narrowing his eyes, the hint of a smile turning into a sharp, cold glint. “For that, I can’t just let it go. Your position as president might not be as secure as you think.”
