His Ex wife is a billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) Novel Full Episode
His Ex wife is a billionaire Chapter 160
Chapter 160 The Stirling family went from riches to rags overnight, and also blew up on the internet overnight. Netizens joked that every member of the Stirling family was a textbook example of what not to do, and that they should receive a lifetime achievement award for “educating the public on legal matters through personal experience”. Una was under criminal detention for hiring a hitman and inciting others to murder. Although she wouldn’t face the death penalty or life in prison, she could expect at least twenty years. She was already fifty this year, so she would likely never see life outside prison again. And Mr. Stirling, under immense stress, had a heart attack and was rushed to the ICU. Due to the chaos surrounding them, the golden time for treatment was missed, resulting in hypoxia and brain damage. Now, he was in a deep coma. “Ms. Acacia, you need to brace yourself. There’s a high chance your father might become a vegetable.” Hearing the doctor’s diagnosis, Acacia, standing outside the ward, felt as if she was struck by lightning, her face pale. The Stirling group was drowning in debt. Creditors and suppliers were knocking on their door, scaring Acacia into hiding in a hotel as she was too afraid to go home. In order to hire a lawyer for her mother and treat her father, she had used up all her savings, tasting the bitterness of poverty for the first time in her life. But the misfortune didn’t stop there. Just a couple of days later, people from Camille’s studio came knocking. That day, Acacia had left the birthday party in a hurry, forgetting her dress. When she remembered and went back to get it; she found the expensive dress covered in footprints, tra mpled like a rag. “What?! Five times the compensation?!” Acacia held the compensation bill tightly in her hand, her eyes wide open as she shouted, “Five times! You want me to pay such a large sum of money for a dress! Are you robbing me?!” “You think it’s expensive?” Camille’s a**istant smirked, “Our clientele here are all rich or famous. They can afford several millions dollars. If you think it’s expensive, then you shouldn’t have borrowed Ms. Camille’s dress in the first place. If you can’t afford it, you shouldn’t take on the responsibility.” “You’re just an a**istant, how dare you talk to me like that?! I’m going to file a complaint!” Acacia’s

face contorted with anger. “Sure, complain all you want, but please transfer the compensation to the account on the bill within two weeks. If you fail to pay within the deadline, we will sue you and enforce the payment.” After saying that, the a**istant left with a look of disdain. Acacia trembled, suddenly sat down and began to s ob quietly, then just couldn’t hold it in anymore and started crying out loud as she had an emotional breakdown. After she had cried herself out, Acacia wiped her face, gritted her teeth, and drove to Windermere Estate alone. Now, she had one last lifeline left, and that was Elspeth! Her downfall was partly Elspeth’s fault, how could she, her own aunt, just stand by and do nothing?! At this moment, the Abernathy family was dining in the dining room. Hamiltion’s condition had stabilized in the past two days, and his complexion had improved. He didn’t like being in the hospital, so he was resting at his own Havenbrook villa. That night, all the Abernathy family was home, including Thaddeus. However, the dinner atmosphere was so tense that it was hard to enjoy the food.. Usually, the dinner table was Elspeth’s stage. She would fiirt with Frederic in front of Thaddeus, and the meal would be filled with love. But that night, they were all eating their food in silence. Frederic’s face was grim, and Elspeth was stirring her soup aimlessly, clearly not hungry. Glynnis, on the other hand, was eating heartily, even more meat than usual. “Eat less! Haven’t you noticed your face is rounder than before? Be careful or you’ll never get married!” Elspeth, agitated because of the Stirling family’s mess, took out her frustration on Glynnis when she saw her eating a lot of meat. “Sigh, can’t I even eat some meat? And besides, an Abernathy daughter will never have to worry about getting married.” Glynnis muttered unhappily, and then said nonchalantly, “Dad, Mom, I don’t think you need to worry so much. Yes, we’re facing some difficulties now, but at least we found out early. It’s better to deal with it quickly than suffer in the long run. It’s definitely better than letting that scandalous, shameless woman into our house. Plus, the engagement party hasn’t even taken place yet, it’s just an announcement, nothing very serious that can’t be undone.” “Shut up! Eat your food!” Elspeth glared at Glynnis, angry that her unsensible daughter always touched upon sensitive topics without giving much thought into it! Sure enough, Frederic’s face was even grimmer than before. Elspeth’s misjudgment had once again affected the Abernathy group. Thankfully Acacia’s scandal was exposed early, otherwise the cuc kolding and illegitimate child scandal would have made the Abernathy group a laughingstock nationwide! “Ma’am!” At this moment, the butler walked into the dining room, a complicated expression on his face as he informed her, “Ms. Acacia is at the door, insisting to see you.” Elspeth’s face turned grim, a sense of unease filling her. “Go see her. She’s still family after all,” Frederic said coldly, his eyes downcast. Elspeth knew that Acacia was desperate and wouldn’t leave unless she met her. So, she steeled herself and went out to meet her.
“Auntie!” Acacia ran over crying, gripping Elspeth’s arm tightly, “You have to save my mom! You have to! She’s your sister!” “How am I supposed to save her?” Elspeth was fuming at the thought of her dim-witted sister. She muttered angrily. “She went as far as to hire a hitman! Couldn’t she just shuffie the girl off to someone or somewhere else? She even thought about disposing of the b*dy. Is murder really that easy for her!?” “What else could I have done? Evadne was onto me about what I was doing overseas. She’s got some serious backing and she’s hell-bent on taking me down. She would’ve found out about the girl eventually! We were out of options!” “You two are a pair of complete idiots! Evadne was just bluffing, but you guys freaked out, thinking she was going to ruin you. She didn’t even have to lift a finger and you two just lost your cool and dug your own grave! Now she’s got you two just where she wanted, and you’ve made mistake after mistake. There’s even evidence! How the hell am I supposed to help you now?!” Elspeth recalled how her chess piece, cultivated over a decade, was so easily taken out by Evadne. Of course, she was seething. But she couldn’t afford to make any more mistakes. She should cut ties with the Stirling family right away, or else it would just invite more trouble for her! “Auntie, you can’t just abandon me when I’m in trouble! The debt collectors are at my door every few days, my dad is in a coma, and I can barely afford the hospital bills!” Just the thought of those intimidating men made Acacia’s legs tremble as she continued to ask for help, “Can you help me pay off the debt? I’ll… I’ll consider it a loan, and I’ll certainly pay you back once the Stirling family gets back on its feet!” “And how exactly are you going to do that?” Knowing that Acacia had lost all value, Elspeth scoffed, “Your brother is in jail, your dad’s a vegetable, and the Stirling family doesn’t have a single capable man left. You guys are just a shell now. Even selling you wouldn’t clear the debt! If I were you, I’d buy a ticket out of here and lay low overseas for the rest of my life. You’re a disgrace back home. Don’t you have friends overseas? Go ask them for help!” Elspeth wanted to wash her hands off this mess. She shook off Acacia’s hand, eager to get rid of that headache. But Acacia’s grip tightened, tears welled up in her eyes and her face hardened, “Auntie, I’ve always done as you asked, done so much for you. Have you forgotten all that?” Elspeth’s heart pounded, “What are you trying to do?” “I’ve lost everything. Thaddeus despises me, I have nothing left to fear!” Acacia’s face twisted into a snarl, a glimmer of desperation in her eyes as she threatened Elspeth, “If you won’t help me, I’ll have no choice but to spill the beans about everything you’ve made me do to Mr. Frederic. From when I was little and you made me get close to Thaddeus, to spreading rumors that led to Thaddeus being ostracized, his mother’s depression worsening and eventually leading to her suicide… I’ll tell the Abernathy family everything! We’re family, don’t force me to burn bridges!”
