His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1360

A dagger hidden behind a smile, dripping with mockery.

It was incredibly grating.

Frederic let out a sudden scoff, which escalated into a laugh.

The more he laughed, the wilder and louder it got, echoing down the desolate hospital corridor.

It was the first time in his life he had ever laughed so recklessly.

As the eldest son of the Abernathy family and the Chairman of the group, he had undergone rigorous elite education since childhood. His manners, posture, and etiquette had all been groomed to aristocratic perfection.

He had lived his whole life in a gilded cage.

To fit the mold of an heir, he played by the rules, acting as the filial son, the dignified Chairman, the authoritative father.

He had almost never, not even for a moment, been himself.

No, he had done it once. The only time he had opened his heart and lived for himself was when he defied all pressure to bring Thaddeus's mother home.

But in the end, he didn't have the courage to give her status. She was the love of his life, yet he let her suffer endless grievances, forcing the child of his most beloved woman to grow up burdened by the shameful label of a "bastard," enduring mockery and neglect.

The one time he tried to be himself, he failed miserably, botching it beyond repair.

His entire life was a joke, a completely ridiculous joke.

Evadne and Thaddeus were both stunned. They had never seen Frederic act like this.

Chad stared at his violently laughing father with venomous eyes, asking coldly, "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at you. You schemed, manipulated, and played every dirty trick in the book, but in the end, you're walking away with absolutely nothing."

The amusement vanished from Frederic's eyes. He took a step toward Chad, locking eyes with him. His gaze was bloodshot, and he enunciated every word. "I am your father. You think you can outsmart me?

I've already notified all the board members. In three hours, we are holding an emergency board meeting at headquarters."

Chad's face darkened like pitch.
