Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret
Chapter 342:
The moment he turned, Sadieâs eyes narrowed.
There stood Percy Webster, Kylaâs right-hand man.
As Percy ended his phone conversation, a self-satisfied smirk appeared on his face. He approached Sadie and Nanette, jewelry box in hand, the lid slightly open, revealing hints of the treasure inside.
âEnough with the drama already,â Percy said arrogantly, scanning Sadie and Nanette with evident disdain. âLook, I never laid a finger on her. Sheâs the one who dropped it, and now she wants to blame me? Really, know your place.â
As her tears streamed down her face, Nanette replied, âThatâs a lie. You definitely pushed me. I had the Dewy Hibiscus in my hands, and you just barged into me. There was no chance for me to even react.â
Percy snorted mockingly, his face contorted with scorn. âBe careful with your accusations, young lady. Words like those can land you in hot water. Best to own up to your own clumsiness now, or youâll find yourself deeply regretting it later.â
Nanette recoiled, her hand gripping Sadieâs arm for support.
As Sadieâs face turned stormier by the second, she barely contained her rising anger. âWhat are you implying, Percy Webster?â
Undeterred, Percy locked eyes with Sadie, his smirk growing. âItâs quite straightforward. Your employee caused the damage herself and now she points the finger at me, correct?â
He gazed at Nanette dismissively, his voice laden with derision. âQuite attractive for someone so clumsy, arenât you? If youâre aiming to climb the ladder, try a more legitimate approach.â
Nanetteâs cheeks burned with humiliation and rage at the overt insult, and she cried even louder than before.
Nanette accused Percy, âYou⦠you have no shame!â Her body quivered as she pointed at him, consumed by fury.

Sadieâs patience had worn thin with Percyâs arrogance and insults, pushing her to her limit.
In a swift motion, she snatched the jewelry box from Percyâs grasp and hurled it to the ground. The box hit the ground with a sharp snap, breaking apart and scattering its contents, including a diamond necklace, which clinked noisily as it rolled across the ground.
A look of horror washed over Percyâs face as he scrambled to gather the diamonds. âHave you lost your mind? Do you realize the value of these?!â
Standing over him with a steely gaze, Sadie said, âPercy, I will make sure you face the consequences for your actions!â
The butler at Stonemont Estate, alerted by the noise, hurried to the scene, shocked by what he saw. He stepped forward, eager to understand the disturbance.
âMiss Hudson, what⦠what has occurred here?â The butlerâs tone was urgent as he surveyed the chaotic scene.
âJust in time, sir. This man deliberately destroyed my pieces and then proceeded to berate my team member!â Sadie explained, her voice cold as she accused Percy.
While Percy was still desperately gathering the scattered diamonds, he abruptly raised his head, his eyes burning with animosity towards Sadie. âYouâre falsely accusing meââ
âEnough!â Sadie interrupted him sharply. âThe truth is clear to everyone. Please, sir, call the police immediately.â
