His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1349

Frederic stared directly into Chad's pitch-black eyes. He realized with a chilling certainty that the gentle, aloof son he thought he knew had become a complete stranger.

"Give it to me straight. Did you have anything to do with Mason breaking out of prison? Did you pull the strings to get him out?! Otherwise, how could a ruined death-row inmate pull off something like that without heavy outside backing?!"

Chad looked at his father like he was looking at an idiot.

Even now, Frederic had absolutely zero comprehension of Mason's true capabilities. What a colossal fool.

Even if Chad had orchestrated the whole thing, why would he ever admit it?

He would never hand someone a lethal weapon to use against him.

Taking Chad's silence as an admission of guilt, Frederic's anger boiled over. He made his decision coldly.

"Given that you are drowning in public scandals and causing massive financial damage to the company, you will not return to the office starting tomorrow. Keep a low profile until this blows over. Thaddeus will step in to manage all daily executive operations!"

"What did you just say?"

A fiery rage instantly ignited in Chad's chest, burning so intensely that his internal organs ached and a metallic taste flooded his mouth. "Thaddeus is no longer the CEO of the Abernathy group. What right does he have to take my place?"

"He may not be the CEO right now, but he used to be. When it comes to executive experience, Thaddeus is far more qualified than you."

Frederic clasped his hands behind his back, pacing in front of Chad with a dark expression. "You are at the center of a massive PR storm. It is highly inappropriate for you to be the face of the company right now. Step aside and lay low for a while.

"Besides, I didn't say I was firing you. I am merely having Thaddeus act as a temporary proxy. Use this time to rest and focus on your health."
