His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Finally, Glynnis‘ defenses crumbled entirely, and she collapsed to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably.

“It was from me.”

Everyone was stunned. Frederic was completely dumbfounded, demanding in shock, “What did you just say? Repeat that?!”

“That report was given to me by Elspeth. | was the one who handed it over to Edith. That’s why it came to light,” Glynnis wept, tears and snot mingling on her face. The cat was out of the bag, and in a desperate bid to save herself, she had no choice but to come clean.

Admitting her mistake seemed a better option than having her disgrace broadcasted for all to see. After all, she was of the Abernathy bloodline; what did it matter if she had framed Marilla?

Her father, who valued family honor above all else, would surely step forward to protect her! “Why would Elspeth just give you the medical report out of the blue?!” Hamilton gasped, struggling to catch his breath. “| don’t know. Maybe the drugs messed up her brain, made her crazy!”

“You used Elspeth’s notorious deeds as leverage, threatening her to hand over something that could ruin Marilla’s marriage prospects, didn’t you?” Thaddeus’ eyes were dark with a smoldering rage.

Under immense pressure, Glynnis‘ mind went blank. The man’s conjectures hit the nail on the head, and she couldn’t even muster a retort.

“Despicable! You're even lower than a beast!” Hamilton, furious, slapped his thigh and could barely stand up with Mr. Murray’s support, “Marilla is your own sister! You grew up together; she was good to you and trusted you so much. How could you betray her like this?!”

“You're just low, like your late mother!” Frederic was utterly disappointed in his daughter. “It’s all your fault for pushing me! Is it all just my fault?!”

Glynnis, at her wit’s end, yelled hysterically, “Grandpa Hamilton! You always claimed you doted on me, but you showered all your affection on Marilla! | was the one who fell for Jareth first, yet you tried to match him with Marilla! Why does she get everything? What am | lacking?!”

At her words, Hamilton was flabbergasted. But then, his expression darkened, tears of fury welling up as he stepped forward and slapped the malevolent girl across the face — harder and heavier than before!

Thaddeus and Frederic were both shocked! Glynnis‘ eardrums throbbed with pain, and extreme pain made her face slick with cold sweat.

“The thing | despise most is when women, over some trivial love squabble, become jealous and even go so far as to harm their own flesh and blood to steal a man!”

Hamilton roared, his heart bleeding with pain, “Years ago, your grandmother, because | loved her and wanted to marry her, was rendered deaf in one ear by her wicked sister!”

The Abernathy father and son were utterly astonished! Even Mr. Murray, who knew Hamilton best, was taken aback.

No wonder Hamilton always spoke a bit loudly to his wife, and when they were alone, he’d tenderly whisper in her ear; no wonder Fiona loved the theater, loved to sing, though her singing was always off-key, not quite pleasant.

Yet Hamilton would still listen with adoration and tenderness, over and over, never tiring.

The wife, who lost her hearing in one ear, never complained. Her smile was always radiant and warm, making it hard to believe she had a disability. It was Hamilton’s love that meticulously mended her imperfections.

“What you did today, how are you any different from that wicked woman! You're even more venomous, resorting to such a scheme to hurt your own sister!”

Utterly resentful, Hamilton pointed accusingly at Glynnis’ pale face, “I’ve never had such a vicious granddaughter like you! Don't you dare say you're a granddaughter of mine! You don't deserve it!” Visit noveldrama.org to read the latest

“Grandpa Hamilton,” in that moment, Glynnis truly panicked.

Frederic didn’t like her, her grandfather hated her, and Thaddeus was her number one enemy! Did she even have a place in this family anymore?

“Glynnis, since you've confessed, there’s not much left to say.” Thaddeus looked coldly at Frederic, “Dad, what do you plan to do with her?”

Frederic, seething with anger not only because Glynnis had betrayed Marilla, but also because she had colluded with the Fairhaven family and stabbed her own family in the back, living off them while secretly helping the Fairhavens. Visit noveldrama.org to read the latest

However, he didn’t want Thaddeus to handle this.

One reason was that harsh punishment would make a spectacle and tarnish his own reputation; another was that he, as the patriarch of the Abernathy family, should be the one to clean house, not his defiant son. Visit noveldrama.org to read the latest

“Lock her up in the Windermere Estate’s back courtyard; she’s not to step out of that house. | will decide what to do!” The man shook his head slightly, “No, that’s too lenient.”

Frederic frowned, “Then what do you suggest?”

“Cut off all her financial resources, exile her abroad, and forbid her return to Elmsworth.”

Thaddeus‘ words cut to the bone, his stance unyielding, “And more than that, she must kneel before Marilla and beg for forgiveness!” All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
