Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 505

Chapter 505 A Clean Hit

Briley walked out of the restaurant, feeling utterly dejected. A gentle night breeze greeted her, but it somehow felt chilly against her skin.

In a city as big as Jazmah, she came to the sudden and glaring realization that she didn’t have anyone she could rely on.

Briley’s hands clenched into fists so tight, her nails were digging into her palms.

This was all Sadie’s fault!

She wouldn’t be in this predicament if it hadn’t been for that despicable bitch!

There was no way she was going to let this go so easily.

A fierce glint appeared in her eyes as she shot her hand out and hailed a taxi.

“To Jazmah Hopevale Hospital.” Just like that, she was speeding away.

Half an hour later, Briley was striding through the hospital toward Coyle’s room.

Her father lay in a pathetic, crooked position on the bed. Half of his body was paralyzed, his lips were twisted to one side, and even his eyes were askew. Drool was trickling down steadily from his chin. It was a haunting sight to behold.

His assistant kept vigil, diligently wiping away his drool.

Briley pushed the door open and walked inside, her demeanor devoid of any hint of sympathy.

And why should she be concerned, when all Coyle ever cared about was his precious son, Sutton?

Briley waved the assistant away. “You can go now. I need to speak with my dad in private.”

The assistant was visibly relieved, but he offered a respectful bow before exiting the room and closing the door behind him.

Father and daughter were left alone.

Briley approached the bedside, her eyes fixed on Coyle’s gaunt face.

Her nose suddenly stung, and tears fell down her cheeks in quick succession. She threw herself on the edge of the bed, clutching Coyle’s still functional hand.

“Dad,” Briley choked out. “It’s me. I’m here to see you.” She did her best to act weak and helpless. “Dad, what should we do now? We’ve lost Sutton, and you’re in such a dire condition. All of this suffering is Sadie’s fault, that vicious slut! She wasn’t satisfied with what she’s done to you, so she went ahead and killed Sutton as well!”

Coyle’s murky eyes suddenly widened, and a hoarse, croaking sound escaped his mouth. He wanted to say something, but

couldn’t.

Briley ignored his agitation and carried on with her laments. “I went to say goodbye to Sutton…”

She trailed off on purpose, banking on the pause to make her next words all the more dramatic. “His death was so tragic! He was black and blue with wounds and bruises, and his eyes remained open even when he was dead. I just know he

won’t be able to rest in peace! It’s all Sadie’s doing–she hired someone to kill Sutton, then found some nameless woman to take the blame!”

Coyle’s face, already distorted from his stroke, grew even more grotesque. His eyes bulged, his gaze turning ferocious as he stared at the ceiling. And his body began to tremble.

His only son, the sole hope of his family–gone, just like that!

He believed everything Briley had said. If they didn’t avenge Sutton’s death, the poor lad would never rest in peace!

Briley finally let up and watched quietly as Coyle processed everything she had told him.

She smiled to herself in satisfaction, knowing that she was getting the effect she desired.

Moving on with her plans, she wiped her tears and pretended to comfort Coyle.

“Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll avenge Sutton, and you.”

She leaned closer and whispered into her father’s ear. “I’ve already made all the necessary arrangements. Next Monday, at the collaboration banquet of Burgess Group and Wall Group, everyone will witness Sadie’s miserable ending! Once Sadie is dead, the Wall Group will be ours again!”

Coyle’s breathing quickened, and his eyes turned wild and crazed.

Yes, Sadie should pay! This wretched woman deserved a brutal end!

Seeing her father’s reaction, Briley plastered a troubled look on her face.

“The problem is, I can’t be sure that the people I hired are reliable. If they fail or leave any evidence behind, the repercussions would be even more disastrous.”

She held her breath and waited for Coyle to react.

He understood what she was trying to say, of course.

They were going to eliminate Sadie, once and for all, so it had to be a clean hit. They couldn’t afford any loose ends.

But there really wasn’t anything Coyle could do in his current state. He could only entrust their plan to Briley.

He struggled to lift his still functional hand, and pointed a shaking finger at one of the drawers of the bedside cabinet.

“Take…” he started to say, his voice faint and garbled. “Take…”

But it was all Briley needed to hear. She stood and yanked the drawer open.

Inside was an old phone with only one unmarked number in the contact list.

Coyle mustered whatever strength he could to rasp out a few more words. “Find… Him. Reliable…”

This person was Coyle’s hidden ace, one that he had kept from his earlier years. The man was ruthless and efficient, and above all, he was absolutely trustworthy.

Briley’s heart skipped a beat as she stared at the number. Her plan had worked!

She swallowed the joy and triumph she felt and maintained a worried expression.

She clutched the phone against her chest and nodded. “I understand, Dad. You can leave it all to me. I won’t let you down. I will make sure Sadie pays with her life!”
