His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1358

Those words plunged the entire living room into a deathly silence, as if they had all been crushed beneath a massive boulder and buried alive in the sand.

Hearing Hamilton's words, Evadne was utterly bewildered, her emotions surging wildly.

Although she had never met Mr. Felix, just from what her grandfather described, she could clearly tell that Thaddeus's uncle had been an incredibly kind, generous, gentle, and empathetic man. In a way, Thaddeus was more like Felix's son than Frederic's.

It was just such a tragedy. Such a good man, gone far too soon.

As for the twisted fate between Frederic and Felix, four words flashed through Evadne's mind: Destiny is a cruel joke.

"Dad, I really don't understand you."

Thaddeus, who had remained silent all along, finally couldn't hold back. Looking at his father with red eyes, he spoke hoarsely. "You grew up with Uncle Felix. You ate together, slept in the same room, went to school together, and studied abroad together. You were blood brothers. Aside from Grandpa, he was your closest living relative. In your heart, is this so-called power and prestige at the company really that important? More important than a living, breathing human being? Billions, tens of billions... so what if you have it? The more money you have, the more it just becomes a number. By society's standards, you already possessed wealth and status that countless people couldn't achieve in multiple lifetimes. You were born at the absolute pinnacle. Why could you never see what you already had? Why did you have to obsess over illusions you couldn't take to the grave?

Even if you went bankrupt and your reputation was ruined, there was always a chance to bounce back. But you only had one uncle. You only had one brother. By killing him, you wiped out one of the few people in this world who genuinely cared for you. And now he's gone forever. Was it worth it? Do you think it was worth it?"

Tears welled in Evadne's eyes as she gazed deeply at Thaddeus's serious, heavy expression.

It felt like an eternity since she had heard him speak so much.

In the past, before his illness, when they were together and lying in bed ready to sleep, that was usually when he talked the most.

He would speak as if the world were ending tomorrow, desperate to tell her every romantic thought he had before dawn. For countless tender nights, she had felt his gentle touch and listened to his sweet murmurs, beautiful as a dream.

For Thaddeus to say all this now undoubtedly meant his heart was aching. He was furious.

He grieved for the uncle he had never known, and he hated his father for destroying such a good man.
