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

Chapter 931:

Sadie shifted her attention toward Nathan. “You undoubtedly have crucial matters requiring discussion. I’ll grant you privacy.” She gracefully rose from her seat.

“Please allow us to escort you, Ms. Hudson!” The elders hastily rose to their feet with newfound deference.

Nathan trailed after Sadie, barely able to contain the slight curve of his lips. He had done it. He had finally taken the first step toward seizing control of the Higgins Group.

Sadie walked straight to the car parked just at the entrance. She was reaching for the door handle when a figure suddenly darted from the side and blocked her path.

It was Ophelia. Her face was twisted in anger, and her eyes were bloodshot. Clearly, she hadn’t slept a wink last night.

Ophelia crossed her arms over her chest and lifted her chin in a challenge. “What do you think you’re doing here? This is Higgins Manor. This is no place for you.”

Sadie cocked her head to the side and raised an eyebrow.

She had never been one to waste her time on people who actively sought trouble. She reached for the door handle again.

Ophelia’s rage surged at being ignored. Sadie sure had some nerve, acting all arrogant in front of her!

Without warning, she grabbed Sadie’s wrist in a vice-like grip. “You really have no manners, do you, Ms. Hudson?” Ophelia flashed her a smile that looked fake. “As your future sister-in-law, the least you can do is acknowledge my presence!”

Sadie paused and looked back at Ophelia.

So, this was her game. Ophelia was going to use this situation to try and assert dominance over her.

How laughable!

Sadie let out a sound that was a cross between a laugh and a scoff. “Oh? Sister-in-law?”

She looked Ophelia up and down before settling her gaze on the latter’s tight expression. “Then tell me, my dear sister-in-law—did you have a good time at your wedding?”

Her words cut Ophelia like a sword through the heart.noveldrama

The wedding had been a disaster, her fiancé was revealed to have an illegitimate child, and she was now the laughingstock of Beversea.

How the hell could she have possibly had a good time?

All the color drained from Ophelia’s face. Sadie, the bitch! She just had to add more insult to injury.

“Damn you!” Ophelia trembled all over, no longer able to contain her rage.

She drew her arm back and raised her hand, intending to slap Sadie.
