“No way?!”

Chapter 63

Glynnis and her mother were both shocked stiff, one forgetting their anger and the other forgetting their

tears.

“Thaddeus! You’re defying me!” Frederic was furious, his blood pressure starting to climb.

This unloved illegitimate son, who had seldom resisted him from childhood to adulthood, was now a

CEO, becoming more independent, and dared to say “no” to him?!

Thaddeus himself was surprised at how firm he was in resisting.

“What on earth are you thinking?! It was you who wanted to divorce Ilana in the first place! It was also

you who insisted on marrying Acacia! Now I’m telling you to divorce Ilana immediately, but you’re

saying no? How do you see marriage? Like a child’s game?! How did I raise such an immature son!”

“Like a child’s game? Ha, that’s correct.” Thaddeus was suddenly ignited with anger, squinting his eyes

and sneering. “Because we are father and son. A son should be like his father.”

“You good-for-nothing!” Frederic was so angry he looked like he was about to explode, rushing over

and slapping him hard! The slap was so loud that it startled Glynnis.

Thaddeus’ face was instantly imprinted with a handprint.

“My goodness! We can talk it out. Don’t hit the child! Thaddeus is young and impulsive, his words can

be harsh, and your actions are not only destroying the harmony between father and son but also

harming yourself. It’s really not worth it!” Elspeth rushed to support Frederic, but she snickered silently,

feeling like she’d let off some steam and couldn’t be happier.

“Elspeth! I know you’re a loving mother, and you’ve always treated this boy as your own, but you’ve

spoiled him too much. You never hit or scolded him, and look at the result now! He’s utterly spoiled by

you!” Frederic’s palm was tingling, his face redder than Thaddeus’.

“He’s always a child in my eyes, and… after all, I’m not his real mother, Thaddeus never easily

accepted me. If I don’t treat him better, wouldn’t it create more distance between me and him… I just

want to be a good mother.” Elspeth started to cry as she spoke, looking very pitiful.

These words each seemed to be showing weakness, but in fact, each one was adding fuel to the fire!

Thaddeus grimaced with a cold smile. He had seen through these pretenses of a caring mother since

he was a child, but he never exposed them. He knew Frederic didn’t care about him as a son, and if it

wasn’t for his eldest son being sick abroad for many years, he wouldn’t have had the chance to be the

CEO.

It was not always the crying child who got the candy; the unloved child could cry his eyes blind and it

wouldn’t make a difference.

“Child? He’s already thirty years old! Stop making excuses for him!” Frederic pointed at Thaddeus’ face

and yelled, “Two things, you get them done by tomorrow! First, divorce Ilana immediately! And have her

apologize to Glynnis in person! Second, immediately suppress Glynnis’ trending topics online and calm

this storm!”

Thaddeus smirked, his eyes so gloomy it was frightening. “Dad, is that how you negotiate in business,

slapping people first, then making demands?”

“What… are you saying?” Frederic was taken aback.

“Even though we are father and son, we should still deal fairly. Especially in matters involving company

interests, there can be no compromise. I can’t divorce llana now, because I promised my grandfather

that I would wait until after his eightieth birthday to officially divorce. I can’t go back on my word. About

the negative news online, my solution is to have Glynnis apologize publicly, and other than that, I won’t

do anything.”

“Thaddeus! How could you…!” Frederic’s eyes turned red, and he raised his hand, but just as he was

about to move his hand down for a slap, it was firmly grabbed by Thaddeus.

“Dad, I’m thirty years old. Do you still think you can hit me?” The man’s eyes showed a chilling look.

Frederic’s pupils contracted, feeling his wrist starting to hurt.

“No! I won’t apologize! No matter what you say, I won’t apologize!” Glynnis started to make a scene

again.

“Gordon, come in.” Thaddeus’ voice became deep. Gordon, who was waiting outside, quickly knocked

on the door and entered the study, bowing respectfully.

“Bring out the documents and let the chairman see.”

“Okay, Mr. Thaddeus.”

Gordon’s eyes flickered, but he still handed the prepared documents to Frederic.

“What is this?”

“This is the financial report for this and last year of Moonlit Treasures, run by Elspeth and Glynnis.”

Thaddeus’ expression was cold, and his voice was calm.

Elspeth and Glynnis looked tense and rigid.

“The report shows that Moonlit Treasures has been in business for three years, losing nearly ten million

each year, and the operating expenses each year are taken from the company’s public funds. Moonlit

Treasures was decided to be managed by Elspeth from the start, and since the company doesn’t get a

share of the profits, there’s no reason for the company to fill this pit.”

After finishing. Thaddeus lowered his head. “If Glynnis does not apologize, then I will exercise my

power as CEO to shut down their loss-making Moonlit Treasures.”

What?! Closing down the store?! Glynnis was stunned, Elspeth was even more furious, her eyes red.

She glared at Thaddeus with burning anger, then clung to Frederic’s arm and began to cry. “Honey,

Moonlit Treasures was the birthday gift you gave me three years ago! How could you close it?!”

Frederic’s face was tense, looking at the evidence in front of him. Even as the chairman of the

company, he couldn’t refute his own son!

“I can turn a blind eye to this for your sake. But, the condition is, Glynnis must apologize publicly, and

Elspeth must make up for the misappropriated company funds by Moonlit Treasures. Or else, I’m

gonna spill the beans at the company meeting the day after tomorrow. No one’s reputation will survive

by then.” Thaddeus said, his tone cold and firm.

Elspeth glared at her stepson. Moonlit Treasures couldn’t be shut down! She still had her big game to

play.

“Glynnis, you’ll hold a press conference tomorrow night. Do as Thaddeus said,” Frederic said, frowning.

Glynnis’ shoulders sagged, looking like a deflated balloon, drained of any strength. Seeing Frederic’s

face darken, Elspeth knew she had lost this round. She glared at Thaddeus’ retreating figure, wishing

she could rip him to shreds.

Thaddeus and Gordon, who had just left the study, heard the sound of Frederic throwing stuff and the

cries of Elspeth and her daughter.

Gordon scratched his head, a bit confused. “Mr. Thaddeus, weren’t you going to fight this to the end?

Why the sudden change of heart?” “Mind your own business.”

Thaddeus suddenly saw llana’s sparkling eyes in his mind, and the scent of her breath when she was

close to him. He was momentarily confused.

He tried to convince himself that it was because he had seen the surveillance footage, and heard

Glynnis’ arrogant words that he changed his mind on the spot. But was it really

so?

Why did he react so strongly when Elspeth and her daughter were blaming Ilana, and Frederic was

pressuring him to divorce? Could there have been a bit of selfishness involved?

“Mr. Thaddeus, we went through so much to gather this evidence, and now we’re just going to put it all

out there, just to make Miss Glynnis apologize… Doesn’t that seem a bit wasteful?” Gordon sulked, still

feeling a bit disgruntled.

“It doesn’t matter. Even if I expose this, the chairman can help Elspeth cover it up. They’re a loving

couple, after all.”

Thaddeus sneered, banishing Ilana’s beautiful face from his mind, his gaze deep. “I just chose an

outcome that both she and I can accept. After all, at the last auction, I wronged her because of Acacia.”

The man sighed deeply, a painful ache in his heart. “This is to make it up to her, I don’t want to owe her

anything.”
