His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1357

Evadne and Thaddeus exchanged a heavy look. Even though they had sensed the cruel truth, they were too kind-hearted to dare imagine the full extent of it.

In their eyes, Frederic was hardly a good husband, and his business achievements were mediocre at best. But despite everything, he had raised Thaddeus. He had saved Thaddeus from a bleak, miserable life. If not for Frederic, a young Thaddeus might have died in the slums, never meeting Evadne, never falling in love, and never having such a passionate romance.

Moreover, Frederic was fiercely loyal and filial to Hamilton.

This proved that, at his core, he wasn't entirely evil.

How could he possibly commit such a savage, psychopathic act as murdering his own flesh and blood?!

Frederic's face was chalk-white. He was drenched in sweat, his suit—which he hadn't changed in twenty-four hours—soaked through.

Panicking, Dennis blurted out, "Mr. Hamilton! It wasn't Mr. Frederic's fault, it was all my—"

"Shut your mouth!"

Hamilton roared, his entire body quaking, all color draining from his weathered face. "Frederic Abernathy... I raised you. I taught you to live openly and honestly. Has it come to this? Do you not even have the courage to admit what you've done? You've lived your whole life wrapped in a shiny exterior, but deep down, how are you any different from a maggot in the gutter?!"

"Yes... to you, I've always been a maggot! A useless son who could never measure up to Felix, a son you always looked down on."

Frederic jerked his head up, unleashing the agonizing resentment and bitterness he had harbored for nearly thirty years. His eyes were a horrifying shade of crimson. "So I killed him! That way, I would be the only son left in your eyes and in your heart! No one would fight me for power. No one would steal your attention or your love... I would be your one and only son!"

Evadne and Thaddeus were both reeling. Even though they had weathered massive storms, this revelation felt like a nuclear bomb detonating in their minds. They were entirely stunned.

Mr. Murray staggered back in shock, but more than the murder itself, he was terrified that the truth would deal a fatal blow to Mr. Hamilton's health.
