His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 589

When Gordon came running up, his eyes were red–rimmed and watery, as if he’d just been through a tearful ordeal.

As the most loyal aide to Thaddeus, he had watched his employer carry the burden of a profound grudge, overcoming countless obstacles to reach this day. The moment the verdict came through, Gordon, who had been handling affairs outside, burst into tears, sobbing so hard he seemed to shed twenty–eight years off his age.

“Is everything taken care of outside?” Thaddeus asked, wrapping an arm around Evadne and smiling gently.

Gordon’s face broke into a grateful grin, nodding vigorously. “Yes, all sorted. Oh, and my phone’s been blowing up – nearly every major media outlet across the country has sent interview requests for you!”

Thaddeus shook his head. “I never do i

“Understood, sir! I’ve politely declined on your behalf.”

Gordon’s voice still quivered with emotion. “Speaking of which, do you think we should hold a press conference? Now that Mrs. Abernathy’s identity has been revealed and the whole illegitimate child scandal has been blown wide open, perhaps we should set the record straight for both of you.”

Evadne gazed at Thaddeus with complex emotions dancing in her eyes.

“I’ve barely had time to properly be with Evadne with all that’s been going on. Now that I’ve settled scores, I’m in no mood for press conferences. I just want to spend time with Evadne, relax a little, and enjoy life,” Thaddeus said, his forehead resting against hers as they exchanged tender smiles.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Indeed, they were both in high spirits, feeling as if even the air they breathed was sweetened by their joy.

“I didn’t do much, really. It was all thanks to your hard work,” Evadne murmured shyly, not wanting to steal his thunder at this moment.

“Evadne, without you and your family setting aside past grievances to help me, my quest for vengeance wouldn’t have been so smooth, let alone end so perfectly. I owe you, and the Ashbourne family, a debt that can never be repaid. Should any of your kin ever need help, I’ll be there without question,” Thaddeus pledged, his gaze as bright and steadfast as the stars in the night sky.

Evadne’s beautiful almond–shaped eyes crinkled into crescents, and she tiptoed to peck his lips, sending a shiver of desire through him, his hands wandering restlessly over her slender waist.

“But I’ve heard that Mr. Abernathy is ready to cut ties with Elspeth for good, and there’s talk of a corporate announcement in the next few days. Whether he’ll acknowledge you publicly remains to be seen,” Gordon interjected, his disdain for the usurper who had paraded around in Cynthia’s place for so long evident in his tone.

Thaddeus’s expression darkened. “I don’t need Frederic to acknowledge my mother’s identity. She’s just my mother. She has nothing to do with the Abernathy Group, or Frederic. To tje her name to that man’s would be an insult to her memory.”

Evadne sighed softly, her heart aching.

Vengeance was theirs, but it wouldn’t bring Thaddeus’s mother back. The hatred had been relinquished, but the pain in his heart was eternal.

“Though I won’t hold a press conference or issue a statement, I will establish a charitable foundation in my mother’s name to support women and children suffering from hardship. This foundation will belong

to me and my mother alone, separate from the Abernathy Group,” Thaddeus declared.

“I’ll be the first to donate once it’s set up,” Evadne said, playfully swaying their clasped hands like a girl untouched by the world’s cynicism. “And not in the name of the Ashbourne family, but in my own name.”

“Evadne, you don’t need to spend your money. Your emotional support is enough,” Thaddeus replied, his love for her so overwhelming he wished to give her the world rather than asking her to pay.

“Hey, I came over to share some terrific news with you!” Gordon suddenly interjected, a mischievous grin spreading across his face.

“Just now, right at the courthouse steps, Cedric was set upon by a group of vigilantes. They left him bloodied and unconscious, and he had to be taken to the hospital by the police.”

Evadne’s eyes hardened. “He brought it upon himself.”

“Cedric’s time of currying favor and doing unspeakable things in the dark has come back to haunt him. He trampled over the rights of the common folk, exploiting legal loopholes to absolve the wealthy of their sins. Now, his own demons have turned on him,” Thaddeus stated coldly.

“And that’s not all!” Gordon’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “I’ve heard that several law firm heads in Elmsworth have banded together to file a formal complaint against Cedric for his years of abusing power and colluding with the corrupt. The Department of Justice has launched an investigation, and the Bar Association is moving to revoke his legal license!”

Evadne and Thaddeus exchanged a knowing smile. For someone like Cedric, who had committed so many wrongs, they didn’t need to lift a finger. There were plenty in line waiting to take him down.

“By the way, Gordon, did you see my brother Arnold when you were over there?” Evadne remembered that everyone was around- except for the man who played a significant role.

“Ah, I didn’t run into Arnold, but I did see Miss Camille!”

“Camille? She’s here?” The couple exchanged a look of surprise, their eyes wide with

At that very moment, Arnold was clutching a lavish bouquet of sun–kissed lilies, symbols of triumph and joy. He caught the arm of his colleague who had helped with the flower delivery, urgency lacing his voice.

“Hey, about that girl who delivered these flowers for me. Where did she go?”
