Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 493

Chapter 493 A Trap

Coyle realized Alex had never taken him seriously at all!

He had no intention to acknowledge the baby Briley was carrying!

Very well, then!

Since Alex was being so ruthless and heartless, then he had no right to blame him for playing hardball!

A cruel glint appeared in Coyle’s eyes.

He picked up the landline and called his assistant. “Get in here.”

The assistant came in just mere seconds later, looking nervous and harried. “Mr. Wall.”

Coyle slammed the document on the desk. “Spread the news that Alex abandoned Briley after getting her pregnant. Emphasize that he refuses to take responsibility. I’m going to ruin that rascal’s reputation, once and for all!”

Coyle couldn’t believe the Howe family could simply brush off the situation.

The assistant paled, his lips trembling when he said, “Mr. Wall…”

Coyle scowled at him. “What are you dithering about? Spit it out!”

The assistant swallowed audibly. “Just… I just received some news. Miss Wall has been taken away by Alex’s men.”

Coyle shot up to his feet, his eyes wide with disbelief. “What the hell did you just say?!”

The assistant shook with fright and nearly sank to his knees. The words tumbled out of him in a rush. “Apparently, some

people sent by Alex went to Miss Wall’s apartment and took her by force. And… Well, Alex’s lawyer is here to see you. He

is waiting downstairs. He says Alex intends to sue us for fraud and slander.”

Coyle felt the world spin around him, as if the floor had been pulled from under his feet.

How could this happen?

Hadn’t he told Briley to hide?

Now, what should he do?

He slumped back into his chair, looking defeated.

Just then, his private phone rang. The screen displayed the contact number of an elder in the Wall family, Soren Wall.

Coyle’s heart sank even farther into the abyss.

Those old bastards sure got wind of the situation quickly!

Coyle forced himself to calm down, though his fingers were trembling as he picked up the call.

His tone was submissive and conscious.

“Hello, Soren. What an honor to receive a call from you when you’re so busy. Rest assured, the company is doing fine. This is just a minor issue. The issues with Burgess Group and New Rise Corporation will be resolved soon, I promi-”

A cold, elderly voice interrupted his platitudes. “Coyle Wall! Return to Wall Manor immediately!”

Then, before Coyle could say something else, the call disconnected.

Coyle’s forced smile froze on his face.

He swallowed a couple of times, his chest heaving, his face red with anger.

Those old bastards! Always banking on their seniority to throw their weight around!

The assistant lingered by the door, watching Coyle carefully, not daring to even breathe. “Mr. Wall,” he said after a while.

“Should we head to Wall Manor?”

Coyle whipped around to glare at him. “Of course! What, should I just wait here until they come to us?!”

He had no choice but to face the music.

At Wall Manor, the atmosphere in the meeting room was grim and oppressive, much like it had been on the day they interrogated Sadie.

The elders of the Wall family were all present, each of them wearing a stern expression!

Coyle stood in the middle. Now and then, he would reach up to wipe the sweat from his brow.

One of the elders sitting on the left suddenly stood up. “Look at the mess you’ve made!” he thundered. “You haven’t even been in charge of the company for long, and you’ve caused so much chaos! The deal with Burgess Group fell through! The project of New Rise Corporation has become out of reach! And now, we’re facing a lawsuit from the Howe family! Let me ask you one thing–what have you achieved as the chairman so far? I’m starting to think you’re not even half as capable as

Sadie!”

No sooner had he said this when another elder snorted in agreement. “Ha! Before Nigel passed, he said Coyle and his family should never be allowed to take control of the family business. It looks like the old man was wise to make such a decision.

Some people are just born losers!”

Coyle felt the color drain from his face. His hands were cold as they clenched into fists at his sides.

So these old geezers were now using Nigel’s words against him?

Then why hadn’t they spoken up when he had first schemed to seize power?

They were only blaming him now that something had gone wrong!

And Sadie, that wretched slut! This must be her doing!

Coyle gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger and humiliation. Then he plastered a pleading, pitiful smile on his face. “Everyone, this is all a misunderstanding—a huge misunderstanding!”

He went on to make excuses for himself. “I’ve been framed by Sadie! She’s the one who ruined the deal with the Burgess Group, and I’m sure she is also behind this matter with the Howe family! She just can’t stand seeing me and Sutton

succeeding, so she deliberately set me up!”

But no matter how he explained, the elders were not swayed.

“Framed?” Soren sneered as he slammed his cane against the floor. “Coyle, do you think we’re too old and senile to see sense? We all know Sadie is currently with Isabel and Averi, recuperating in the hot spring resort! How could that feeble

young woman in a wheelchair frame you from there? But you! You faked a pregnancy test report and tried to force Alex to marry your daughter! You have utterly disgraced the Wall family name!”

Coyle shuddered, feeling like a bucket of ice water had just been poured over his head. His ears were ringing, and he couldn’t seem to manage a single, coherent thought.

He finally understood.

Right from the start, it was all a trap! Sadie had already dug a pit, and she had simply been waiting for him to fall into it.

He had wondered once or twice why she would give up the chairwoman position so easily.

It turned out that vicious woman had other plans in the

works!

Coyle’s fists tightened, and his breathing grew even heavier. “I—”

“Enough!” Soren brought his cane down again, effectively shutting Coyle up.
