Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret
Chapter 794:
Then, Sadieâs voice cut through the haze, calm but edged with menace.
âBriley, you might want to reconsider your next move. The press is watching closely. If this turns into tomorrowâs headline, the fallout wonât be in your favor.â
Her words struck Briley like a splash of cold water. The reporters, the flashing lenses, the endless spectatorsâit would all be documented. A single misstep could ruin everything.
She had toiled for days to restore her public persona. She couldnât throw it all away now.
Jaw clenched, Briley forced herself to swallow the bitterness rising in her throat. Head lowered, she masked the fury burning in her eyes, though her limbs quaked under the strain.
This momentâshe wouldnât forget. One day, Sadie would pay for it all. With interest.
Finally, Jonah seemed to come out of his daze. His eyes flicked between the two womenâeach with her own agendaâand realization struck.
Sadie might have suffered injustice, but her retaliation had been swift and surgical. As for Briley⦠naive to a fault. And she thought she could lead the family empire? Not a chance.
Clearing his throat, Jonah leaned on his cane and faced the lingering press, his tone unwavering.
âIâd like to make something crystal clear for our friends in the media. Sadie has repeatedly demonstrated her loyalty and competence. There is no doubtâleadership of the Wall Group is hers. Our family stands together. Speculations of infighting are baseless.â
He took a breath, his expression softening.
âAs for Brileyâwhile we welcome her back into the Wall family, her decision to pursue a life in entertainment deserves her full attention. As of today, she will step down from all responsibilities within the Wall Group. Her previously assigned shares will be temporarily suspended, and she will not be the chairwoman of Wall Group.â
Reporters burst into applause.
âWell said! The Wall family knows how to maintain order!â

âExactly! Let her chase stardomâleave the business to capable hands.â
âMs. Hudson truly earned her place!â
Briley was stunned to her core. After everythingâevery plan, every sacrifice to maintain her facadeâthis was her reward? Not only had she failed to bring Sadie down, but she had also been stripped of everything that mattered. She had lost! She had lost so completely!
Sadie took in the devastation carved into Brileyâs face, her own gaze steady and composed. She stepped closer and gently took Brileyâs arm.
âDonât be sad, Briley. If you ever need anything, you know where to find me. Iâm always willing to lend a hand.â
