His Ex wife is a billionaire Chapter 598

Chapter 598

On a day shrouded in a veil of misty gray, a gentle rain began to fall from dawn, painting the world with a somber wash of silver

Yet sich weather seemed most fifting for a visit to the cemetery to pay respects to those who had departed

Evadne and Thaddeus fosend themselves once again at the grave of Cynthia. The couple busied themselves with laying flowers and tidying the site, their actions as heartfelt as if they were preparing for a Sunday roast with the matriarch herself

Though she lay in eternal rest, the loving care and deep remembrance from her son and daughter–in–law surely meant she was not lonely in her slumber

“Mom, Evadne and I have finally avenged you. Elspeth has been sentenced to death. The twenty year old injustice has at last drawn to a close. Thaddeus spoke to the gravestone, gupping Evadnes hand tightly. The mills of God grind slowly but exceedingly fine Mom may you rest in peace forevermore

The pair bowed deeply before the headstone

Suddenly the sound of approaching footsteps broke the stillness:

” Grandpa Evadine turned her face instantly brightening with joy

Thaddeus’s eyes narrowed.

Just a few paces away Hamilton sat in his wheelchair, pushed by Murray to join them

Resting quietly on his lap was a bouquet of pristine white lilies, Cynthia’s favorite When she was alive, the Windermere Estate was never without firsh blies, each one tenderly cared for by her hands:

Even Hamilton, as her father in law, knew of Cynthia’s preferences, whereas Frederic, her own husband, seemed oblivious

The irony was not lost on them

“Mr. Hamilton, let me help you up,” Murray began, but Hamilton firmly placed his hands on the armrests of his wheelchair and stood up on his own

Thaddeus and Exadne exchanged surprised glances but relaxed upon seeing the old man stand steadily

With a dignified air, Hamilton approached holding the lilies and looked at Thaddeus with a kind gaze “Do you mind if I pay my respects to your mother?”

Thaddeus shook his head slightly, his breath catching.

Evadne bit her l*p, visibly moved to the brink of tears.

In recent years, Hamilton’s health had declined, and he had almost always attended important events in his wheelchair. But now, to honor Thaddeus’s mother, he had made the exceptional effort to stand before her grave

Hamilton sighed deeply, laid the flowers down, and bowed before Cynthia’s image “Cynthia, it is the entire Abernathy family who has wronged you, and for that, I sincerely apologize. But I know that apologies now are meaningless to the departed. So rest assured that as long as I draw breath, I will take good care of Thaddeus. I will not let your only son, my dearest grandson, suffer any more hurt or indignity,”

Tears welled up in Thaddeus’s eyes as he looked at his grandfather, never feeling any debt owed to him, nor seeing his own past sufferings as significant

On the contrary, without his grandfather’s painstaking cultivation and protection, he might well have fallen prey to Elspeth’s wickedness time and time again.

Thear Elspeth has already appealed the verdict.” Hamilton asked with a furrowed brow

“Yes, Grandpa, but it’s just a desperate flail Evadne replied softly, linking her arm with Thaddeus’s

“Good, as long as you are confident you can bring her to justice.

Hamilton thought of Elspeth’s vile deeds with burning anger. 1 had already decided, if the law didn’t sentence her to death, I would take matters into my own hands, give her a taste of her own medicine, make her end more miserable than Byron’s! Whatever troubles you both encounter, don’t keep them to yourself Speak up, and I’ll smooth them out. I may be retired, but I still have some clout in the Abernathy Group. Your father’s word isn’t the final say”

“Thank you. Grandpa Thaddeus replied, a look of gratitude filling his eyes. “You’ve done enough for me. Please don’t worry about me any longer

Hamilton’s tone held a deeper meaning. “Silly boy, how can it ever be enough? Far from it.”

Chapter 598

“Dad”

Frederic’s arrival was like an unwanted guest, intruding upon the harmonious scene.

Evadne looked worriedly at Thaddeus

His handsome face suddenly frosted over, his jaw clenched, Tuck off!”

“Thaddeus, let’s not make a scene in front of Grandpa Evadne whispered, squeezing his icy hand

Thaddeus took a deep breath, biting back his anger for the moment

“What brings you here?” Hamilton eyed him with disdain

Frederic struggled to speak, his voice hoarse, “Dad, I missed Cynthia. I just wanted to see her”

Hamilton scoffed Twenty years and not a word from you, and now you play the grieving widower?

Hamilton’s harsh words cut through the air, “You didn’t just drive away Cynthia, you’ve nearly smothered me with your insincerity!”
