His Ex wife is a billionaire Chapter 191

The secretary was busy turning on the TV tuning it to the news channel.

It was World Wonders Weekly again.

Chapter 191

Thaddeus frowned. Ever since the Westguard project was stolen away from him, he had been feeling down every time he saw this news show.

“Welcome to World Wonders Weekly First up is today’s headline. International movie star Ada arrived in Elmsworth last night, attracting a large number of fans and media attention. It is reported that Ada came to Elmsworth to fulfill her sick mother’s wish and to hold her wedding in her mother’s hometown. The renowned Abernathy Hotel and K World Hotel had been vying for the opportunity to host Ada’s wedding. After days of competition, Ada finally picked her ideal hotel.”

Thaddeus was dry-mouthed and his throat tightened as he stared fixedly at the screen.

“And that is, K World Hotel. Congratulations to K World Hotel for successfully securing the hosting rights to Ada’s wedding!”

Instantly, Thaddeus felt a heavy sinking feeling. His ears rang and his head throbbed!

On the other hand, a smile appeared on Glynnis’s face.

For her, the worse the situation for Thaddeus, the more incompetent he seemed, and the greater her chances of gaining power!

Next, the program shifted to Ada, who had accepted an interview from World Wonders Weekly and briefly explained why she chose K Orld.

Ada said, “Abernathy Hotel is also a very good hotel, but I personally prefer K World Hotel’s wedding planning proposal. It has nothing to do with the hotel’s strength, it’s just my personal choice.”

Frederic couldn’t bear to listen anymore. He grabbed the remote and turned off the TV, then threw the remote onto the table.

“Psh, there’s no point in worrying about short-term gains and losses now. We’ve completely lost! Not only did we fail to host Ada’s wedding, but our promotion last night actually helped others. How do you plan to salvage this situation?!”

Thaddeus was pale. Before he could say anything, Glynnis quickly comforted, “Dad, don’t be angry, take care of your health.”

She had learned well from her mother Elspeth, defending Thaddeus at this time to deepen Frederic’s resentment towards him. “Ada herself said, it was her personal choice and has nothing to do with the Abernathy Group. And Thaddeus has done his best. If anything, blame that sneaky and despicable woman Evadne. She’s always able to exploit our weaknesses.

“In business competition, it’s all about give and take. Methods don’t matter.”

Thaddeus raised his eyes coldly, a chill in his gaze that made Glynnis shiver. “Evadne did nothing wrong. It was us who let down our guard.”

Glynnis’s eyes were dark, her teeth clenched in frustration. They were already divorced, and he was thinking of protecting her now. What was he doing before!

But this was also good. The more he protected Evadne, the faster he was digging his own grave.

“Thaddeus, did you deliberately go easy on Evadne and lose to her?” Frederic asked coldly.

“No.” Thaddeus lowered his eyes.

“I want to tell you, you’re already divorced from Evadne. She has nothing to do with the Abernathy family anymore! You can only be business enemies when you meet, and you can’t even be friends! That girl is cun ning and ruthless, always causing trouble for us. I’ve spared her for the sake of your past relationship, but that doesn’t mean I will keep indulging her and let her do as she pleases!” Frederic was burning with anger, and slammed his hand on the table. He was truly upset.

Thaddeus stared at Frederic’s angry face, his fists clenched and his eyes glaring at Frederic.

“Thaddeus, are you trying to defy me? What’s with that look?”

Frederic trembled, his heart tightening.

When Thaddeus’ mother committed suicide, she also stared at him with the same cold and ruthless eyes!

This made him uneasy even when he saw his own son’s gaze to this day.

“I may be divorced from Evadne, but even if she’s not my woman anymore, you can’t hurt her.” Thaddeus took a step closer, his face cold and his eyes full of anger.

Frederic’s shoulders trembled slightly, and the father and son were at a standstill.

Glynnis was also frightened by Thaddeus’ gaze.

But she still forced herself to act calm and walked behind Frederic with a smile, ma**aging his shoulders, “Dad, don’t argue over Evadne. Even though she has the upper hand now, the final result is still uncertain.”

“Glynnis, are you saying you have a way to turn the situation around?” Frederic picked up on her implied meaning and quickly asked.

“Dad, as long as you give me the opportunity to take full charge of the Ada project, I will definitely find a way to win that woman back!”

Glynnis smiled confidently, “Even though she has announced that she will hold her wedding at K World Hotel, such things are always subject to changes, right?”

Thaddeus looked cold.

He knew his sister very well. This girl was ambitious and wanted to gain some power in the Abernathy family, but she lacked the ability to match her ambition.

Yet, this time, she dared to openly compete with him and take on everything head-on as if she were sure of victory.

If anyone said there was no trick to this, no one would believe it!

“Good! Good! You are indeed my most valued daughter, ambitious and spirited!”

Frederic chuckled satisfied, clasping Glynnis’s hand tightly, “The whole wedding shindig is all up to you now! You’ll need to catch up with Thaddeus in a bit. Thaddeus, you just step aside for now, don’t want you butting heads with that Evadne again. This time, it’s Glynnis’s show!”

Thaddeus stood stone-faced, not uttering a word.

When it came to his successes, Frederic never doled out the praise. But he messed up, Frederic was always quick to penalize him, to push against him.

First off, he downright looked down on this illegitimate son. Secondly, he feared Thaddeus might outshine him, so he kept him at arm’s length.

1/2

“Dad, thank you for giving me this chance!” Glynnis wrapped her arms around Frederic’s n*eck, beaming.

“As long as you pull this off, I’ll reward you real good!”

Frederic affectionately ruffled his daughter’s hair, grinning as he asked, “What reward are you after? Spill it, is it a beachfront villa? Or maybe a top-of-the-line sports

car?”

“No, don’t want any of that.”

Glynnis’s eyes sparkled. She cooed, “As your daughter, as a member of the Abernathy family, I too want to contribute to the Abernathys. If I can pull off this wedding, could you let me take the reins as the General Manager of Abernathy Hotel from now on? I believe given the chance, my managerial skills won’t lose out to Evadne’s!”

Thaddeus’s breath hitched, and he smirked icily.

So, that’s what Glynnis was after

“Alright, you got it! As long as you pull this off, it proves your abilities, and I’d feel safe handing the hotel over to you!” Frederic agreed without hesitation.

“Thank you, Dad!” Glynnis shot Thaddeus a smug glance. She could all but see the scene of Thaddeus falling flat on his face once she took control of the hotel!
