Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret
Chapter 710:
Sadie bit down on the scream building in her throat.
This pain was nothing compared to what she had already endured. After the doctor completed the treatment and relayed his advice, he gathered his equipment and departed.
Samuel saw him out, then quietly returned to Sadieâs side, burdened with remorse.
âMs. Hudson, forgive me. I didnât foresee their plot, and now this has happened.â
Sadie gave a faint shake of her head, her complexion ghostly pale. âYouâre not to blame. Their snare was set long before today, simply waiting for me to stumble into it. There was no avoiding it.â
Samuelâs brows furrowed. He was unwilling to accept her reasoning.
âBut Ms. Hudson, you didnât have to go through this. You couldâve clarified everything. Perhaps the elders wouldnât have sided with Coyle.â
âClarify?â A bitter laugh escaped Sadieâs lips. âDo you believe they wouldâve let me speak?â
She paused, her tone laced with bitterness. âCoyleâs family has long aimed to oust me from the chairwoman seat. Even if I had explained, they wouldâve devised another scheme. Itâs wiser to bide my time.â

Samuel still struggled to grasp her strategy.
âBut Ms. Hudson, this price is steep. Youâre gravely wounded, and now Coyle has seized the chairperson role. Is it truly worth it?â
Sadieâs gaze turned cold, a sly smile tugging at the corner of her mouth. âOnly by doing this can I make them lower their defenses and eventually expose their ambitions. Coyleâs hunger for the Wall Group is no secret. Let him enjoy his false victoryâIâll reclaim it when the time is right.â
Additionally, what lay ahead required her to remain unnoticed. Samuelâs eyes lit up with realization, admiration clear in his expression.
Ms. Hudson was remarkable! Even in such a dire situation, she remained composed, just like Mr. Wall in the past.
âMs. Hudson, you can count on me. Iâll see it through.â
Sadie nodded approvingly.
âThe next steps are yours. Keep a sharp eye on Coyle and his actions.â She paused briefly, her expression darkening as a memory surfaced.
âAlso, tighten security around Patrick.â
Samuel was puzzled by this instruction.
âMs. Hudson, youâre already navigating a dangerous path. Why worry about Patrick now?â
Sadieâs gaze fell, her features softening with a trace of complexity. âHeâs important. With his memory gone, heâs vulnerable. I wonât let Coyle get to him.â
Patrickâs true identity was still uncertain, so she shouldnât tell anyone about her suspicions now.
Though not fully comprehending, Samuel gave a respectful nod.
âUnderstood, Ms. Hudson. Iâll see to it.â
Sadie quietly acknowledged him, weary, and motioned for him to leave. Once alone, she stared blankly at the ceiling, her mind adrift. Waves of sharp pain coursed through her, yet they were nothing compared to the heaviness weighing on her heart. Just then, the door creaked open once more.
Briley strode in, document in hand, her smug demeanor filling the room. âSadie, sign this,â she ordered, tossing the papers onto the nightstand, her voice thick with disdain.
