His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1233

The quiet words struck Frederic like a clap of thunder, deafening and disorienting. He trembled uncontrollably, his face a mask of horrified disbelief. "What are you talking about? Are you suggesting I killed your uncle? You're my son… how can you think such terrible things about your own father?"

"I'm not speculating. I'm simply stating the facts," Chad replied, crossing his legs with a relaxed air. "And actually, I'm not here to condemn you. On the contrary, I completely understand your decision. After all, you and I are facing the same predicament."

Frederic struggled to breathe. The man he had watched grow up now seemed like a predatory vulture, poised to sink its talons into his throat.

"Back then, even though you were the eldest son and the rightful heir, Grandfather favored Uncle. He gave him all the most promising projects, paving the way for him to take over. Gradually, Uncle's reputation within the company surpassed yours. What must have been even more galling was that he was also a brilliant and capable businessman. His only weakness was that he was too kind, too compassionate. He didn't have your ruthless, cutthroat nature."

Chad’s voice was low and steady as he recounted the story, as if discussing a common business tactic. "So, when the Abernathy Group faced a bribery scandal, your good brother, in order to protect the family and you, offered to take the fall and go to prison."
