Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 579

Chapter 579 Ask Around

And Find Out

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 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.

The wedding had been a disaster, her fiance 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 was trembling all over, no longer able to contain her rage. She drew her arm back and raised her

hand, intending to slap Sadie.

But her palm never made contact.

Eyes flashing with a quiet fury of her own, Sadie moved at lightning speed. She caught Ophelia’s wrist mid–swing, gripping it so hard that Ophelia let out a gasp of pain.

Sadie used the momentum to fling Ophelia’s hand back, then she shoved Ophelia altogether.

Ophelia had the misfortune of wearing high heels at the moment, and she stumbled backward, completely losing her

balance.

“Ah!” She yelped as she fell on the ground in a sorry heap, her palms scraping against the rough surface of the asphalt.

Ophelia blinked in disbelief. Had Sadie actually pushed her?

Ophelia jerked her head up to glare at Sadie. “How dare you lay a hand on me!”

Sadie stepped closer, closing the distance between them. She grabbed Ophelia by the jaw and forced the latter to meet her

eyes.

Ophelia saw the unmistakable warning in her face. There was a ruthless glint in her eyes that was absolutely terrifying.

And then Sadie spoke, her words slow and deliberate. “Clearly, you don’t really know who you’re dealing with, Ophelia.

Perhaps you should ask around, find out what kind of person I really am.”

Her fingers tightened ever so slightly. Ophelia winced in pain, but didn’t dare to protest in any way.

“If you ever try something like this again-” Sadie leaned in, her voice barely a whisper when she continued, “Next time, it

wouldn’t be just a fall. Who knows? Maybe… a broken leg?”

Ophelia froze, and she felt her body go cold.

Her mind immediately went to Jarrett’s ruined legs, and a shudder ran down her spine.
