His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1366

News of Chad Abernathy's arrest as a murder suspect spread like wildfire, dominating every headline.

First, his uncle Mason Austin was shot dead, and Chad was brought in for questioning. Just days later, he was implicated in a gruesome murder.

There was no spinning this. It was a PR nightmare.

He could bathe in bleach and still wouldn't come out clean.

[Chad always looked so elegant and gentle. How could he be a murderer? This is insane!]

[What's insane about it? Murderers don't have it written on their foreheads. The biggest psychos always look the most normal. Looking at it now, it makes perfect sense. Did you see the case details? It happened twenty years ago! He was just a kid! A teenager stabbing an innocent girl to death? That's pure evil.]

[Investigate thoroughly! We can't let these billionaires get away with it!]

[Investigate what? Lock him up and throw away the key!]

The next morning. Exactly 9:00 AM.

As thousands of employees across the Abernathy group's headquarters and branch offices settled in for the workday, an urgent email popped up on every screen.

[Good morning, colleagues. We have an important announcement. Due to Mr. Chad Abernathy's recent involvement in multiple criminal investigations, his actions have severely impacted the company's reputation. The Board of Directors has unanimously voted to remove him from his position as CEO and Vice Chairman, effective immediately. His personal actions are not affiliated with the Abernathy group. Please refrain from spreading rumors. The company will take strict legal action against anyone doing so.]

The brief notice didn't spare Chad an ounce of dignity, completely severing his ties with the company.

At 10:00 AM, an emergency board meeting convened.

As a board member, Evadne Ashbourne sat near the head of the table on the left, the seat of absolute power.

Though she tried to maintain a composed facade, the heavy thumping of her heart made her throat tight.

The boardroom was dead silent.

Everyone was waiting for one man.

Right on the hour, the heavy double doors swung open.

A tall, strikingly handsome man in a bespoke dark gray suit strode in. Thaddeus Abernathy exuded a dark, commanding presence. Gordon followed closely behind him, his chest puffed out with pride.

The directors' eyes locked onto Thaddeus. Not a single person dared to whisper; no one even dared to breathe too loudly.

The king had returned to claim his throne.

His features were as captivating as ever, but there was a new, hardened edge to him. He stood tall, the weight of his previous suppression entirely gone, replaced by an overwhelming, authoritative aura.
