Chapter 582 The Smartest
Move
Hailey sprang up to chase after Noah, sobbing as she went. She was frantic, and failed to notice a chair leg jutting in her
path.
A dull thud rang out as she tripped and fell to the floor, completely losing her composure.
Her knee slammed against the cold hard surface, too, sending a sharp, searing pain through her leg.
Noah didn’t even break his stride, let alone glance back at her.
Hailey’s hands balled into fists.
Sadie! It was all because of that wretched woman!
If Sadie hadn’t appeared in their lives, Noah would have never treated her this way! He would have never wanted a divorce!
No, she wasn’t going to give him up so easily. But even Evan–her only hope–had refused to help her. What was she
supposed to do now?
Forest was rooted to the spot, looking at his daughter sprawled on the floor while his face twisted in disdain.
“You’re utterly useless! You can’t even win a man’s heart! Now look at you! You’re about to lose everything!”
He closed his eyes and heaved a deep sigh, clearly fed up with the situation. Buttoning his suit jacket, he strode out of the private room without another word.
Hailey was left alone, still slumped on the floor, her fists clenched so tightly, her knuckles had turned white.
At this point, she knew she had no one else to rely on but herself. She needed to come up with a plan, a foolproof one, to
get rid of Sadie, once and for all.
But she couldn’t do the deed herself. If Noah ever found out she was involved in Sadie’s demise, everything she had worked
for would fall apart.
A glint appeared in Hailey’s eyes as a face emerged in her mind.
Briley. That worthless fool.
Her reputation had been tattered after her public outburst in front of the media, and even now, she was still a favorite
subject of online ridicule.
It was the perfect opportunity–she would use Briley to deal with Sadie.
All she had to do was fan the flames of Briley’s hatred toward Sadie, goading her until she reached her limit and
completely lost control.
Hailey wiped the tears from her face and struggled to her feet.

She smoothed down her dress and grabbed her phone to make a call.
It connected after only a couple of rings. “Hello?”
“Hire a bunch of people to trash Briley online. Tell them to make it look like Sadie is behind it. Make sure to leave a clear trail, do you understand? The uglier it gets, the better. I want Briley’s name to get destroyed for good.”
The man on the other end let out a sound of surprise. He obviously had no clue what Hailey wanted to do, but he didn’t dare to ask any questions.
“Understood, Ms. Burgess. I’ll take care of it right away.”
Hailey hung up, her lips curling into a cold, sinister smile.
If Briley discovered that she was getting attacked by netizens under Sadie’s orders, it would make her loathe the latter even
more.
Things would eventually escalate, and Hailey wouldn’t even have to do anything. She knew Briley would take matters into her own hands and exact revenge.
In Hailey’s mind, having someone else dirty their hands to achieve her goal was the smartest move.
“Let’s see how you get out of this one, Sadie,” Hailey muttered through gritted teeth.
Meanwhile, Noah’s face was blank as he walked out of the building and slid into the backseat of the black car waiting at the curb.
Sitting behind the wheel, Jack glanced at his boss through the rearview mirror and tried to gauge Noah’s mood.
The atmosphere was heavy, the pressure palpable.
