His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel 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 interviews."

"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.

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 tie her name to that man's would be an insult to her memory."
