His Ex wife is a billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) Novel Full Episode
His Ex wife is a billionaire Chapter 659
Chapter 659
“Hahaha! My girl! Hurry up, fetch our finest wine from the cellar, I need a good swig to celebrate!”
Bevis had witnessed a spectacular turn of events today, leaving him in high spirits. He burst through the door, laughter booming through the house, startling the parrot perched nearby into fiapping its wings.
“Why hasn’t he died yet? Why hasn’t he died yet?”
The parrot squawked, mimicking Bevis‘ tone to perfection.
“Haha! Darling, has your beak been blessed? That old coot is truly on his last legs now, this time it’s for real, hahaha!” Bevis puckered his lips, teasing the bird with a big smile on his face.
“Dad, who hollers like that in the afternoon? You’ve woken me from my nap,” Dolores Ashbourne, with her long hair loose, descended the stairs yawning, her voice dripping with lethargy, “What’s got you in such high spirits?”
Bevis contently settled back on the couch, a sly grin curving his lips, “This afternoon, at the board meeting, Emeric had an episode right in front of everyone!”
“Really?!” Dolores’s face brightened up instantly.
She had grown up amidst her father’s constant grumbling and grievances.
Infiuenced by what she had constantly heard, the family’s arch enemy, in her eyes, was none other than her father’s brother and his household!
Bevis often boasted about how incredible he was, complaining that his elder brother, leveraging his position as the heir to the Ashbourne family, had always suppressed him out of jealousy for his talents, leaving him to languish as a mere executive, unfulfilled and bitter.
As a result, Dolores was thoroughly indoctrinated.
She despised her uncle and harbored an even deeper loathing for her cousin Evadne, who had always seemed unattainably graceful and noble, like a swan since they were children.
“Hmph, and that’s not all. He wet himself in front of all the directors! Hahahaha.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Oh my! That’s so disgusting!” Dolores grimaced, but couldn’t help but laugh.
Bevis pulled his daughter close, planting an excited kiss on her cheek, “My dear girl, you have no idea how exhilarating it was for your old man! All those years of frustration finally vented out! Even Emeric himself never imagined he would fall into such a pathetic state, did he? If he can’t even manage his own bladder, how can he manage the K Group? He should just step down!”
As he spoke, a shadow of malevolence fiitted across his gaze, “No, I don’t just want him to step down; I want the whole world to know about his disgrace!
Even if he doesn’t bite the dust, I’ll make sure he’s socially dead, to be utterly disgraced and never to hold his head high again!”
Bevis‘ words were so venomous and fierce, that even Dolores felt a chill run down her spine.
“Your uncle has been domineering and tyrannical since childhood. Anything good, he wanted; any good woman, he had to possess. His downfall today is nobody’s fault but his own, a direct result of his past misdeeds!”
Dolores paused, “Dad, what woman?”
Bevis clenched his molars tightly, offering no answer.
The “good woman” he mentioned was Emeric’s wife, Evadne’s mother–Silvana Waverley.
She was, without a doubt, the most radiánt and graceful woman he had ever encountered. One glance was enough to bewitch.
But this angelic beauty in distress, despite him being her savior, ultimately chose Emeric!
Being a distinguished young master of the Ashbourne family just like his brother, why should he forever live in the shadows, deprived even of the right to vie for the woman he loved!
How could he not hate; his heart was bleeding with every beat!
“Dad, so what do you plan to do next?” Dolores asked with curiosity.
“Hmph, they think they’ve contained the situation at the meeting and I’m out of moves? They underestimate me.”
Bevis took his daughter’s hand into his, his eyes glinting with excitement, “Just you wait and see, my girl, our good days are yet to
come.”

Chapter 659
“Dad, when you’ve finally dealt with uncle and officially taken control of K Group, could you perhaps find a way to snatch Thaddeus from Evadne for me?” Dolores clung to his arm; her eyes filled with longing.
“Thaddeus? Get him out of here!” Bevis shoved her away harshly.
The humiliation that young man had caused him twice over, not to mention the smartphone incident, was enough to knot his guts in anger!
“Why? Weren’t you very supportive of me being with Thaddeus before?”
Dolores frowned and pouted, “Being the father–in–law to the CEO of the Abernathy Group isn’t good enough for you now? It should be a dream come true for you!”
“You can marry anyone you want, any rich bachelor or nobleman from Skyrim or Elmsworth, just not Thaddeus!”
Bevis grew more incensed with each thought, rising from his seat, “Put your affairs aside for now. Once I’ve dealt with Emeric and successfully seized power, I’ll find you a match that’s second to none. Rest assured, Dolores. The future husband I pick for you will be no less than Thaddeus. I won’t let you be outdone by Evadne in matters of marriage!”
As Evadne had predicted, there were no secrets that could be kept forever.
With his network of informants spread around Skyrim and near the Ashbourne estate, it didn’t take long for Avery to learn of Emeric’s relapse and rehospitalization.
“Mr. Chambers, this is highly suspicious.”
Harvey stood by, watching his master play chess while voicing his confusion, “Thaddeus had just received the medication from you not two days ago. Even if
it was only a temporary fix, Emeric’s condition should have improved immediately. Why the sudden hospitalization? Being hospitalized implies his condition has worsened. What’s going on?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Side effects.”
Avery’s golden glasses refiected a cold light, and he coolly picked up a black piece, capturing a white one on the chessboard, “Every medicine has its poison, and one with quick and powerful effects carries even more. Emeric is no longer young, and taking such medication without considering his actual condition is tantamount to quenching thirst by drinking poison.
The last time I gave the medicine to him, it saved his life. Giving it to him again might very well take it.”
Harvey’s eyes widened in shock, “You mean you never intended to help Emeric, but rather?”
“The medicine was sought by Thaddeus, and I gave it as a favor, simply going with the fiow. Moreover, it brings considerable trouble for the Ashbourne family, so why not?” Avery’s expression, however, betrayed his words and was far from pleased.
Chad’s attitude toward Evadne was still something Avery cared deeply about.
“Ah, sir, you truly are astute.”
Harvey almost spat out “sinister,” but he swallowed the word back down.
“No one can match wits with Sir, whether it’s the Ashbourne family, or the Abernathy Group. The situation on both sides is under
Sir’s control.”
Avery captured another white piece on the chessboard and let out a heavy sigh, “I’m all in on whatever game Sir wants to play. Whomever he wants gone, be it Emeric or Cassius, I won’t bat an eyelid. But Evadne, just as long as he doesn’t harm Evadne,
that’s all I ask for.”
Harvey pondered for a moment before asking in a low voice, “Mr. Chambers, should we inform Jeff considering Emeric’s current situation?”
“Did you cast the bait I asked you to?” Avery’s eyes narrowed.
“Just as you instructed, sir.”
“Good. Then let Jeff know. The news will leak soon enough anyway.”
A sinister smile played on Avery’s face, I can hardly wait to see that lingering wretch will try to make himself useful one last
time.”
Harvey snickered, “Make himself useful? You’re giving him too much credit. I’d say it’s more like a dying gasp.”
