His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 282

The grand hall fell into an eerie silence.

Evadne blinked her bright eyes, unable to suppress a mischievous smile.

Seeing such a playful expression on his lady, Thaddeus momentarily forgot the pain he was in. His entire focus was on her, a content smile tugging at his lips.

The room full of people was shocked to see Mr. Hamilton publicly chastise the man of the Windermere Estate, Frederic, without giving him any face!

What? Frederic being scolded by his own father in public? Such a loss of face!

Frederic felt his pride taking a hit. His face turned a furious shade of red, and he gritted his teeth, ordering, "Butler, have everyone leave this room."

"No! Tonight's issue must be settled face to face. No one leaves this hall!"

Mr. Hamilton's imposing authority was no joke.

Evadne's temper, when she was angry, was similar to Hamilton's, just like she was his true granddaughter.

"Dad, what are you trying to do?" Frederic frowned, his voice filled with irritation.

"What am I trying to do? Humph, whatever you're trying to do, that's what I'm trying to do!"

Mr. Hamilton's eyes were half-closed as he sneered, "You embarrass Thaddeus in front of everyone, not caring about his self-esteem. Now I am dealing with tonight's issue in front of everyone, what's so unacceptable about that?"

"Dad! You can't always favor this disobedient son of mine! Isn't this simply aiding and abetting?"

Frederic, his face red with anger, pointed at Thaddeus and shouted, "You've spoiled him so much that he's become arrogant and lawless. If this continues, he won't even respect his biological father!"

"Huh." Thaddeus let out a cold laugh, his eyes icy.

When his mother had thrown herself off the rooftop of this villa, his so-called father ceased to exist in his eyes. He had died with his mother.

This cold laugh, Evadne heard it clearly.

She watched Thaddeus' handsome pale profile without showing any emotion, catching a glimpse of deep, heart-wrenching hatred in his clear eyes.

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through her heart.

"You say Thaddeus is arrogant and lawless, come on, tell me, how is he so?

Mr. Hamilton was calm, even casually picking at his teeth with his little finger.

Everyone felt speechless.

Man, the older he got, the more outrageous he became.

Perhaps he had been suppressed for too long in his youth, now that he was old and had everything, he completely let go.

"He defies me, disobeys me!"

Frederic was so angry that he couldn't think straight, saying whatever came to his mind, "I punished him according to the family law, it was unavoidable! Besides, I'm his father, what's wrong with disciplining him?"

"Hmph! Talking about defiance and disobedience, Frederic, you sure set a great example for your son!"

Hamilton glanced at Elspeth with a disgusted look, "According to your logic, when you brought Elspeth into the family back then, I should've whipped you into submission!"

Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy's faces changed, growing uglier by the second.

"The Abernathy family law punishes the ones who truly make mistakes and the ones who truly deserve punishment. I just want to ask you, what mistake did Thaddeus make? Tell me!"
