His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1352

"Tomorrow, I am going with you to the police station to confess."

Frederic took a deep breath, as if making a monumental decision. "It's my fault for failing to raise you right. As your father, I lacked in teaching you. When you were young, I was busy expanding my business. I neglected you, which led to your terrible mistakes. I bear undeniable responsibility, so I am willing to face this with you.

You were only a teenager when you committed the crime. You were a minor. I will hire the top defense attorneys in the country to get you the most lenient sentence possible."

Holden couldn't hold back anymore and burst out indignantly, "Mr. Frederic, don't you think this is incredibly unfair to him? He has endured so much hardship to get to where he is today. He spent years alone in a foreign country, sick and uncared for. He finally made it to the top. How can you ruthlessly strip away everything he's earned? You know his health condition. Sending him to prison is no different from a death sentence! Besides, the police have no evidence. If they did, they would have arrested him already. Why are you forcing him to throw himself into the line of fire for something the cops aren't even sure about?!

Are you just that desperate to destroy him and put Thaddeus, that addict, back in charge?!"

"Who gave you the nerve to disrespect my son like that? You're out of line!"

Frederic couldn't bear anyone slandering his younger son. He strode forward, glaring with furious eyes, and slapped Holden across the face, causing the secretary's cheek to swell instantly.

"Holden, you overstepped. Don't you know my father has always deeply favored his younger son?"

Chad's lips curled into a mocking smirk, a cold glint in his eyes. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have had to go through all that trouble to stage a kidnapping and try to get rid of my annoying little brother."

"What did you say... Chad... say that again?!" Frederic's vision darkened, on the verge of passing out.

Chad watched his father looking ready to cough up blood, the smile in his eyes growing even more unhinged and arrogant. "You're not even sixty yet. Your hearing is fine. Which word did you miss? Do you need me to repeat it?"

"You bastard!"

Frederic lunged forward, raising a trembling hand, and slapped Chad with all his might. "Thaddeus respected you so much as his older brother! He treated you so well! How could you do something like that?!"

It was the first time in his life he had ever struck his eldest son.

A red handprint immediately bloomed on Chad's pale cheek, but instead of getting angry, he laughed out loud.

"There can only be one alpha. It was your infidelity, messing around behind my mother's back, that produced a bastard like Thaddeus to steal the attention and love that belonged solely to me. If you had just kept it in your pants, none of this would have happened.

Having you as a father is my misfortune, but it's Thaddeus's misfortune too."

"Good... very good... I really have to thank you for telling me all this. Otherwise, I would have gone to my grave never knowing what a vicious, rotten little critter you really are!"

Frederic's eyes brimmed with hateful, regretful tears. He grabbed a teacup from the desk and smashed it violently against the floor. "Chad, listen to me. From this day forward... I am severing my ties with you! We are done, just like this cup!

If you don't turn yourself in tomorrow, I'll report you myself! As the head of the Abernathy family, I will clean house!
