Chapter 651:

He forcefully dragged her out, paying no mind to her stumbling behind him. To her credit, Briley knew she was in real trouble this time, so she wisely shut her mouth.

It was midnight when they arrived at Riverside Villa, their family residence. Coyle was waiting for them in the living room, his expression dark and ominous as he sat on the sofa, arms crossed over his chest. He glanced up at the sound of the door opening and glared at his daughter.

Briley felt a chill race down her spine. She lowered her head, like a child caught misbehaving.

Sutton had briefed her on the recent events during their ride home. A ball of dread had formed in the pit of Briley’s stomach, and the more she listened, the clearer it became how badly she had messed up. Now, facing her father, she felt even more flustered and lost.

Coyle seethed as he studied his disappointing daughter. He raised his hand, intending to slap Briley across the face, but he stopped when he noticed her trembling.

In the end, he lowered his hand and sighed in defeat.

“You worthless fool!” he berated, unable to stop himself.

Sutton sighed as well, but his anger had cooled since earlier.

“Now isn’t the time, Dad. We need to think about what to do next.”

Coyle threw his hands in the air in frustration. “What can we do? That vicious bitch is determined to destroy us. It’s only a matter of time before she takes complete control over the Wall Group.”

Sutton fell silent. He knew all too well that the circumstances were not in their favor. But he refused to just sit back and watch as Sadie slowly took over their family business.

An idea suddenly occurred to him, and Sutton’s eyes lit up. “Dad, maybe we still have a chance.”

Coyle frowned. “What are you talking about?”

Sutton’s lips curled into a devious smile. “Alex.”

Coyle was confused at first, but as his mind slowly caught on, his eyes glinted with excitement. “You mean, a marriage alliance?”

“Exactly.” Sutton nodded. “If we can secure a marriage between Briley and Alex, we can use his power and influence to strengthen our position in the company. That way, no matter how arrogant Sadie gets, she won’t be able to touch us.”

Coyle’s eyes flickered. It was a tempting prospect, but he wasn’t entirely convinced yet. “Will Alex agree? The Howe family is among the elite, after all. As a branch of the Wall family, Coyle and his children might be considered prominent in some circles, but they were still several levels below the Howe family.”

A confident smile broke across Sutton’s face. “Don’t worry about that, Dad.”

“Leave it to me. I will make sure Alex agrees.” Then Sutton turned to Briley and said, “I’m counting on you to make this work, Briley.”

Her head jerked up, and she stared at him in surprise and bewilderment. She wasn’t expecting the conversation to suddenly shift in her direction. “Me?” she squeaked.

Sutton’s tone was firm. “Yes, you. You need to find a way to make Alex fall for you. If you manage to marry him, our family will have a shot at turning things around.”

“Briley,” Coyle chimed in eagerly, “this is for the good of the family. Once you marry Alex, everything the Wall family has will be yours.”

Briley frowned and bit her lower lip, but she eventually nodded. “I understand. I will do my best.”
