Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 592

Chapter 592 I’m Open To Negotiations

“My situation right now…” Hailey began before trailing off to a dramatic exhale. “Sadie, she… She’s already engaged to that spoiled heir from the Higgins family, but she still keeps clinging on to Patrick. She has somehow poisoned him against me, and now he wants a divorce. He doesn’t even care about our baby.”

Hailey choked on a sob. “I would have been fine with it if it were just me, but my poor child… They aren’t even born yet, and their father is already abandoning them. I just know that once Patrick finalizes our divorce, he would run back to Sadie without a second thought. They would no doubt rekindle their relationship! They will be unstoppable. The entire fortune of the Wall family will fall into their hands. How are we going to survive then?”

Every word that Hailey spoke struck a nerve in Briley, just as she had intended. That last sentence, in particular, succeeded in igniting the rage that had long been festering inside Briley.

Why? Why should that vicious outsider, Sadie, get everything the Wall family had to offer?

And what about her, Briley? Was she destined to be trampled beneath Sadie’s feet, when she had more right to the family fortune?

Her heart burned with resentment.

“No! I will never let that vile wretch have her way!” Briley cried out, her upper lip curling in disdain.

Her tone suddenly turned mysterious as she continued, “Oh, but I have heard something interesting from the grapevine. Apparently, Sadie was hospitalized. I still don’t know the exact reason, but we can use this detail to our advantage, don’t you think?”

The news made Hailey pause. Sadie was ill? Why would she suddenly end up in a hospital?

A vague sense of unease crept into Hailey’s chest, but it was gone in an instant, and she didn’t dwell on it.

Her priority at the moment was to keep her dear pawn in line and make sure she still had Briley’s alliance,

“Briley, darling.” Hailey cooed, her tone concerned. “Whatever you do, don’t be too impulsive! Sadie is the future wife of a Higgins family heir. We can’t go after her now, or we would just be making trouble for ourselves. It’s best to come up with a foolproof plan before we make our move.”

By then, however, Briley was too absorbed in her thirst for revenge to listen to reason. She simply couldn’t let another day go by without making Sadie pay for her sins.

“A plan? Yeah, right!” Briley snapped impatiently.

There was one thing she wanted, and one thing only—to punish Sadie, once and for all.

Briley hung up the phone without another word.

Hailey slowly picked herself up from the ground and dusted her clothes.

She lifted her chin and pulled her shoulders back as her lips curled into a victorious smile. All that was left for her to do now was sit back and watch the drama unfold.

“Let’s see how you handle Briley this time, Sadie!” Hailey muttered under her breath.

The Beversea Grand Hotel.

Briley slumped back on the sofa, still clutching her phone tightly.

That useless, good–for–nothing Hailey! All she ever did was cry and whine, and the most cunning scheme she had ever pulled off was playing the victim to gain people’s sympathy!

If Hailey kept hesitating and second–guessing every suggestion she made, how could they ever accomplish anything significant?

Had Briley known that Hailey was this incompetent, she would have never agreed to join forces with the woman. At first, Hailey only seemed to be a worthless bystander who barely did anything, but now Hailey was actually trying to stop her from acting on her own. What a joke!

It didn’t matter, though. Briley was not to be deterred. She would ensure that Sadie disappeared for good this time around.

Briley’s eyes flashed with cruel intent as she scrolled through her contacts and called a number she hadn’t reached out to in a long time.

“I want Sadie Hudson gone. Feel free to name your price.”

Her order was met with deep, cold laughter. “That’s a rather ambitious request you have, Miss Wall. But money alone will not suffice when you expect me to end a life. More importantly, how do I know this won’t turn out like the last time I did

something for you? Do you remember how you betrayed me at the last moment?”

Briley shifted in discomfort.
