Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret

Chapter 929:

Now, amid scandal and financial freefall, Sadie had undoubtedly arrived to evaluate whether the Higgins family still merited any association. This fact hung unspoken yet perfectly understood by everyone present.

Alonzo broke the silence first. He stepped aside with practiced deference, motioning toward the seat of honor. “Ms. Hudson, please make yourself comfortable.”

Sadie accepted without a moment’s hesitation. She glided forward with elegant composure and claimed the most distinguished seat in the room. Her mere presence commanded attention, her quiet dignity asserting authority over everyone in attendance.

Only then did Alonzo pivot toward Nathan, his tone carefully probing. “Nathan, you mentioned having a solution earlier. Let’s hear your thoughts.”

Nathan squared his shoulders and straightened, his gaze deliberately sweeping across the assembled elders.

“Gentlemen, our stock is plummeting and our reputation lies in shambles. This crisis stems directly from my elder brother Jarrett—his misconduct and moral failures have brought this catastrophe upon us. This hasn’t merely embarrassed the Johnson family—it has severely tarnished the legacy our Higgins family has meticulously built over generations. To reverse this downward spiral, stabilize our stock value, and reassure our anxious partners, we must first strip Jarrett of all substantive authority within the company. We must demonstrate to the world that…

The Higgins family holds itself accountable. Only through such decisive action can we hope to regain investor confidence and salvage our standing in the business community.”

The room plunged into stunned silence. The elders gaped at Nathan, astonishment etched across their weathered faces.

Could this truly be the same Nathan they had dismissed as immature and incompetent? When had such clarity of thought emerged in him?

Alonzo narrowed his eyes to slits, scrutinizing Nathan’s expression with newfound interest.

Since when had this coddled heir developed such incisive judgment? These words hardly resembled anything Nathan would conceive independently.

Detecting their skepticism, Nathan flashed a sheepish smile and absently scratched the nape of his neck.

“Actually, Sadie deserves credit for most of this strategy. She considered what would best serve the family’s interests and guided me through the reasoning. Honestly, I never would’ve developed such a plan independently.”

Understanding dawned across the elders’ faces. So this had been Sadie’s mastermind strategy all along—suddenly everything clicked into place.

If they stripped Jarrett of power, who would fill the resulting vacuum? The answer loomed obvious—Nathan, standing before them with newfound confidence. Sadie had positioned him to seize the reins.
