His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1261

The news that the Abernathy Group and KS Group had made peace and formed an alliance to jointly develop the A5 Project spread throughout the country. This was a major boon for the Abernathy Group, and even KS Group's stock price shot up, hitting its daily limit at the opening bell.

Although Evadne had withdrawn from the A5 competition, it seemed she had still led KS Group to a brilliant victory, establishing its name in Elmsworth and across the nation.

But her mood was heavy, and she felt no desire to celebrate.

As CEO, she hadn't acted solely in the best interests of her company; her decisions were tangled with too many personal motives.

For Emeric's health, she couldn't refuse Chad's overtures. To expose Chad's conspiracy and reclaim everything Thaddeus had lost, she had to temporarily sacrifice her company's interests and make a deal with the devil, dance with the wolf, to earn Chad's trust and gain entry into the dark, dirty core of his operations.

It didn't matter if Emeric didn't understand, or if no one, including Thaddeus, understood. She was prepared to face the storm.

To tear apart the darkness, one must first become part of it.

The day the Abernathy Group officially secured the A5 Project, Chad called Evadne.

“Ms. Evadne, could you join me at Windermere Estate tonight? To celebrate our initial victory, I’d like to invite you for dinner at my home.”

Before Evadne could answer, the man added thoughtfully, “I know you probably don't want to see my father. Don't worry, my father will not be present tonight.”

“You're overthinking it, Mr. Abernathy.”

Evadne's gaze was ice-cold, her voice equally detached. “I know Mr. Frederic dislikes me, but I've never held it against him. I stopped caring long ago.

So, regardless of whether Mr. Frederic is there or not, I won’t be coming. I appreciate the thought, though.”

The implication was clear: her refusal was entirely because she didn't want to see *him*, Chad.

On the other end, Chad paused, then suddenly broke into a cheerful laugh, seemingly unfazed by her resistance.

“Ms. Evadne, I understand your feelings. However, tonight, I hope you can set aside your prejudices and concerns and just see me as a regular business partner. If you don't take this step, our future collaboration will be difficult, which will affect both our interests. A qualified leader should always prioritize the bigger picture. And in the world of business, there are no permanent friends, and, of course, no permanent enemies.”
