Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 598

Chapter 598 What A Fool!

Rodger pointed at Nathan’s retreating figure with a trembling hand.

“You… You imbecile!”

He was so furious that he slammed his fist against the table.

Meanwhile, downstairs in Jarrett’s suite, Ophelia was sitting at her dressing table, methodically removing her makeup as her anxiety continued to spike.

All of a sudden, the door burst open.

Trey barged into the room, flanked by two burly servants, his face blank.

Ophelia jumped up in fright. “What do you think you’re doing?”

Trey gave a slight bow, but his tone was icy when he spoke. “With all due respect, Mr. Rodger Higgins has ordered you to

pack your things and return to your original home immediately.”

Ophelia felt all the color drain from her face. “What are you talking about? Why is he sending me back home?”

She had endured so much just to become the wife of a disabled man. She had been humiliated at her own wedding for

goodness‘ sake, and now her father–in–law was throwing her out?

There was no way she was letting that happen!

A flicker of disdain crossed Trey’s eyes. “Have you forgotten what you’ve done?” he asked, his voice carrying a subtle edge.

“Ms. Hudson has already sent Ivy back.”

Ophelia froze, even as a chill raced down her spine.

Did that mean that Ivy had failed? The cursed child inside Sadie’s belly was still safe?

Ophelia’s mind raced as she wondered who might have thwarted her plans. It had to be Sadie! That troublesome bitch was

the only one who could have caused all this!

But Trey didn’t have time to waste on Ophelia’s distress. When she still didn’t move, he motioned at the servants, who quickly rushed forward and seized Ophelia by the arms.

“Let go of me! What are you doing? No, I’m not leaving! I’d rather die than be sent back home!” Ophelia screamed and

struggled desperately.

Unfortunately, she was no match against the two men, and before long, she found herself getting dragged out of the

premises.

An hour later, Trey escorted Ophelia into the Johnson family’s estate, her hands bound tightly behind her back.

The servants were naturally shocked at what they were seeing, but they lowered their heads and pretended to be busy,

contenting themselves with sneaked glances.

<Chapter 598 What A Fool!

What happened to Ophelia? Why did it seem like she had been forcefully brought back to her family home?

More importantly, the butler of the Higgins family had a grim look on his face. What could have possibly happened over at the Higgins Manor?

Although curious and confused, they knew better than to voice their questions.

Trey shoved Ophelia into the living room.

Daren was there, his brows furrowed slightly as he pored over a report.

Ophelia saw her chance. All of the resentment she had been bottling up at her in–laws‘ exploded all at once.

She whipped around and glared at Trey. Her brother was here, and this was their home. What did she have to fear?

“Daren!” she cried out, her voice thick with emotion. “Tell this lowly servant to let go of me!”

Daren looked up sharply, his frown deepening. He took a moment to process the sight before him–his sister, held down by

two of the Higgins family’s servants, her hands obviously tied at her back, her face twisted in misery.

Daren’s expression darkened. They were in Johnson family’s territory! How dare they treat his sister like this?

He slammed the report on the coffee table and rose to his feet.

The Higgins family had gone too far this time. Just what did they take Ophelia and the rest of the Johnson family for?

Jarrett might be the one in charge of Johnson family at present, but that gave him no right to abuse Ophelia!

“What is the meaning of this?” Daren demanded, his voice sharp with indignation. “Do you think you can just bully the

Johnson family as you like?”

Trey didn’t bat an eye, but he allowed himself a cold, humorless smile. He even offered a small bow.

“Please calm down, Mr. Johnson. The Higgins family harbors no such ill will. However, what your sister has done may

require some reflection on your part.”

Daren’s heart skipped a beat, his anger subsiding ever so slightly. What did Trey mean?

He turned his gaze to his sister.

Ophelia’s panic was evident. She frantically shook her head, her tears streaming freely down her cheeks. “I didn’t do

anything!”

At that point, Daren’s lips were set into a hard line. It seemed that the situation was more complicated than he had initially

thought.

After seeing his sister’s panic and Trey’s resolve, he stifled his outrage and tried to assess the matter from a clear

perspective.

“Ophelia, tell me the truth,” Daren said in a softer tone. “What exactly did you do?”

Ophelia’s heart sank into an abyss. Her brother didn’t believe her… Was he about to side with the Higgins family and
