His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1353

Frederic looked as if he had been struck by lightning. His soul and blood drained from him instantly. He stood frozen in place, a ghastly pallor on his face, stripped of all will to fight back.

Growing up, his father, Hamilton Abernathy, had always favored the younger son, Felix, for his steady, generous, pure-hearted, and highly capable nature. Although Frederic was the eldest and was also quite competent, as the brothers grew into adulthood and began managing the family business, the gap between them became glaringly obvious.

Hamilton constantly praised Felix, even hinting at transferring the most crucial projects of the Abernathy group to him.

Frederic never voiced his complaints, but bitterness festered in his heart.

He was the eldest son. Barring any accidents, he was destined to be the heir to the entire Abernathy empire.

But Felix's existence slowly became a thorn permanently wedged in his chest. Every time Felix secured a major project and was praised by their father at executive meetings, Frederic would secretly clench his fists, his back breaking out in cold sweat, his chest tightening with anxiety.

If it had ended there, it might have been fine.

But whenever Felix received praise, he would always offer a humble smile, stand up in front of everyone, and look at Frederic with sincere gratitude.

"Actually, I was only able to secure this project because of my father's guidance and my brother's help. Half of this honor belongs to him."

To everyone else, the younger Abernathy brother was a modest, grounded gentleman.

But to Frederic, it felt like a knife twisting in his heart!

They were brothers from the same womb, yet the seeds of malice had quietly taken root.

Years ago, when their father was investigated for a bribery scandal, Felix stepped up to stabilize the situation and protect the ailing patriarch. He took the fall and served a two-year prison sentence.
