His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1350

Holden and Dennis pulled out their phones simultaneously to check the notifications.

Both of their faces drained of color at the exact same moment. They spoke in unison:

"Mr. Frederic, something happened!"

"Sir, something happened!"

"What now?!" Frederic snapped, his patience entirely exhausted.

Dennis looked grim, glancing nervously at Chad. He wanted to read the report word for word, but Chad's chilling, predatory gaze made his scalp tingle with anxiety. For a moment, he couldn't figure out how to say it.

Losing his temper, Frederic snatched the phone right out of Dennis's hand.

The next second, it felt like a bomb went off inside his head. His ears rang, and he stared at the screen in pure disbelief.

"What is this?! 'Innocent young girl brutally stabbed over twenty times. A Real-Name Report accuses Abernathy Group CEO Chad Abernathy of murdering a teenage housemaid twenty years ago. The Abernathy family orchestrated a massive cover-up to hide the truth. Urging authorities to launch a full investigation and bring justice to the victim's family'?!"

He was horrified, shocked, and utterly stunned. His eye twitched violently with rage as he hurled the phone directly at Chad's chest. "What the hell kind of news is this?! What murdered housemaid?! What family cover-up?! Chad, how did this happen?! How are you wrapped up in yet another murder investigation?! What the hell are you doing?!"

Even in his blinding rage, Frederic only threw the phone at Chad's chest.

If it had been Thaddeus standing there, he would have aimed right for his face. He certainly wouldn't have shown such restraint.

It wasn't because he loved his eldest son more.

It was because Frederic harbored a deep, instinctual terror of the Austin blood running through Chad's veins.

It always felt like the man he had watched grow up might suddenly lunge forward and rip his throat out with his teeth.

Chad remained entirely emotionless. He lazily picked up the phone that had bounced onto the sofa and casually scrolled through the trending news.
