His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1354

Dennis's face turned ashen; he was completely speechless.

If this recording fell into the hands of the police, even if they couldn't find physical evidence, Frederic would be swallowed by public outrage. His reputation would be ruined, the Abernathy group would be thrown into chaos, and it could severely affect Mr. Hamilton!

The company couldn't fall into Chad's hands.

If he took full control, there was no telling what kind of dark depths he would drag the entire empire into!

"How... how do you have this recording?" Frederic asked, trembling violently.

How old had Chad been back then? Three or four at most. How could he possibly...

"This is the only gift my beloved mother left me, both in life and in death. The voice recorder holding this evidence was locked in the deepest safe of her closet. The passcode was your birthday and mine."

Chad shook his head with a mocking click of his tongue, showing no sorrow or regret for his mother's passing—only disdain for her blind devotion. "My mother really loved you to a fault. She knew you were keeping Thaddeus's mother on the side, knew you betrayed her, and even when she got the proof, her first thought wasn't to force you to end it or turn you in. Instead, she hid the evidence in a secret place, never taking it out even up to the moment of her suicide.

Sometimes I think she deserved her fate. She was a lunatic, but not crazy enough. Not ruthless enough. In the end, she could only watch helplessly as her husband was stolen by another woman, dying with her eyes wide open."

He slowly raised his head, gazing up at the ornate ceiling, taking a deep breath as if looking at his mother's spirit. "But, as her biological son, I will finish what she started. If she's watching from above, she'll finally be able to rest in peace."

Frederic felt as though his soul had been sucked dry. He collapsed weakly onto the sofa, black spots dancing in his vision.

The hardest betrayal to guard against was always the one in your own bed.

After a long while, Frederic asked hoarsely, "What exactly... do you want?"

"A mere Abernathy group isn't even worthy of my attention, but since I want to accomplish great things, the company has to be my stepping stone."
