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

Chapter 939:

Noah leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes.

Hailey’s tear-streaked face flashed through his mind and grated on his nerves.

He took a deep breath and nodded.

“Head over there, then.”

Jack said nothing more and started the engine.

At that same moment, at the Emerald Hotel in Beversea, Sadie was tossing and turning in bed, feeling an unusual sense of discomfort. Her drowsiness had barely let up during lunch, and she fell fast asleep after returning to the hotel. She had slept well into the evening. But instead of feeling refreshed upon waking up, Sadie felt as though she had been hit by a truck.

It was a strange experience. She had never felt like this before.

Frowning, she sat up gingerly and slowly tried to stretch.

Just then, a knock came at the door.

“Sadie?” It was Tina.

Sadie got out of bed and went to open the door.

At the doorway, Tina appeared with a cup of warm water in hand.noveldrama

She flicked on the light.

As soon as Sadie’s face came into view, drawn and weary, concern crept into Tina’s expression.

“You look pale, Sadie. Are you feeling alright? Do you need to see a doctor?”

Shaking her head, Sadie reached for the cup and took it from her. “No, I’m okay. Just a little worn out.”

She took a careful sip, the warmth soothing the dryness in her throat. “Is something wrong? You look like you’ve got news.”

Tina didn’t answer right away. Her lips pressed together for a moment before she finally said, “The chairman of Higgins Group… he asked to meet with you.”

The words made Sadie freeze, her hand pausing mid-air.

Jarrett? What could he want now? Was this connected to Nathan trying to seize power?

No surprise there—Jarrett showing up so quickly after the elders made their decision said everything about his sense of timing.

Clearly, the Higgins family’s internal conflict ran deeper than she’d thought. Still, she knew she couldn’t avoid it.

Rather than sit and dwell on it, she set the cup down on her nightstand and said, “Alright. Bring him to the sitting room. I’ll get changed and meet him there.”

Without hesitation, Tina gave a small nod. “Okay, Sadie.” She turned and slipped out of the room.
