His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1248

The board meeting ended, and the attendees dispersed. News that Chad had secured his position as CEO and that Evadne had joined the board spread like wildfire throughout the Abernathy Group. After the meeting, Evadne escorted her grandfather back to Havenbrook Manor, while Thaddeus remained at the office to handle some matters.

Followed by Gordon, he walked with a steady, resolute stride toward the chairman's office, his gaze cool.

"Hey, do you think Evadne joining the board is a sign? Is she teaming up with Thaddeus to take down our new CEO?" a couple of employees whispered in a nearby corner.

"But the tabloids have been saying they haven't been seen together in ages, that they broke up. Then again, at the press conference, she totally ripped into Mr. Chad, like she was ready to go to war for Thaddeus. So are they broken up or not?"

"For people at their level, it's always business first. Even if they broke up, they can still be partners. Who's going to turn their back on a profitable alliance?"

"Really? I thought they were true love…"

"Get real! There's no such thing as true love in these wealthy dynasties. Besides, I don't think Ms. Ashbourne joined the board for Mr. Thaddeus at all."

That last comment made Thaddeus stop in his tracks, a flicker of an unreadable emotion crossing his face.

"Think about it," the employee continued, oblivious. "Who's in charge of the Abernathy Group now? The eldest son! And even after that massive scandal, his position is rock solid. That means both Mr. Frederic and Mr. Hamilton, Sr. are backing him. Thaddeus is out of the succession race for good! Ms. Ashbourne broke up with him, and she has her own family's interests to consider. It only makes sense for her to align with the winner. Unless she's completely blinded by love, but that makes no sense… they already broke up…"

"Ahem!" Gordon, unable to stand it any longer, coughed loudly.
