His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1187

"Cassius, please don't be so pessimistic." Perhaps because she had just seen Thaddeus and gone through another heart-stopping moment, her emotions were raw, and her eyes were still moist. "Loving someone doesn't mean you have to possess them to be happy. As long as he's okay, living freely and safely somewhere in the world, isn't that enough?"

"You're right, Evadne," Cassius said, his voice filled with sorrow and a bitter laugh. "Chasel lost so much, sacrificed so much for me. I don't deserve someone as good as him. He'll find true happiness only by leaving me."

After Chad took office, his first major task was taking over the A5 Project bid from Thaddeus. Although Thaddeus had fallen from grace, Chad, as the eldest son, was the natural successor to lead the Abernathy Group. However, he knew there were still dissenting voices within the company, questioning whether he possessed the same decisive, commanding leadership as Thaddeus.

If he could secure this project, all opposition within the Abernathy Group would be silenced. Not even his grandfather would be able to challenge his position.

That day, in the chairman's office of the Abernathy Group.

"The stock was in a slump for a few days, and someone was secretly buying up our shares. Thankfully, you were here to stabilize the situation, Chad." Frederic clapped a hand on Chad's shoulder, his eyes full of approval. "You've never once disappointed me, from the time you were a boy. I'm truly proud of you."

"Thank you for the praise. The Abernathy Group is your and Grandfather's life's work. I will protect it, no matter what." Chad raised his lips in a slight smile and, with his well-defined hands, poured Frederic a cup of tea. "Father, although I'm now managing the group's daily affairs in Thaddeus's place, there's something I need to ask you. Did you let me take over because of the circumstances with Thaddeus, or did you genuinely want to give me a chance to prove myself?"

Frederic was taken aback, clearly not expecting such a question. After a few seconds of silence, he smiled sincerely. "Chad, you are my eldest son. I've watched you grow up. Of course I wanted to give you a chance. Besides, you've already proven your capabilities. The collaboration with William and his son from Country M, and the crisis with the illegal drug scandal—you stepped in and saved the Abernathy Group both times. You've shown that you are more than capable of being CEO."
