Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband’s Regret1
She had exploited him as merely a pawn in her ascent!
That treacherous daughter!
Despite his years of shrewd maneuvering, Coyle found himself outplayed by his own daughter!
A bitter taste of blood filled his mouth as Coyle shook violently, his eyes fluttering.
His heart seethed with loathing!
Samuel turned away dismissively.
“Take him away.”
The bodyguards didn’t hesitate. They promptly lifted the convulsing Coyle from the bed and dragged him out.
The assistant slumped to the floor, his complexion ashen.
Silence reclaimed the room, leaving a heavy residue of despair.
Meanwhile, in the Howe family’s stately villa, Alex stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, his brow creased with concern.
For some reason, he felt uneasy tonight.
The phone on his desk rang abruptly. He picked it up to find his assistant on the line.
“Mr. Howe, there was an incident at the Wall and Burgess Groups’ collaboration banquet.”
Alex’s heart clenched.
He immediately inquired, “How is Sadie?”
The assistant reassured him, “Ms. Hudson is unharmed, Mr. Howe. Miss Briley Wall intercepted a dagger meant for Ms. Hudson and is now receiving emergency care. The assailant, reportedly sent by Coyle, was apprehended.”
Alex listened to the update, a wave of relief washed over him, allowing his tense muscles to relax slightly. Briley had taken a dagger for Sadie?
Alex’s fist clenched, his knuckles whitening.
He had sorely underestimated Briley.

Exiled from the Wall family, she had still orchestrated such a desperate ploy to redeem herself, using this dramatic gesture of self-sacrifice to weave herself back into the Wall lineage.
Such intricate plotting!
Yet, her actions had endangered Sadie!
The mere thought of the peril Sadie had faced chilled his gaze.
No matter Briley’s motives, her actions had jeopardized Sadie, and that was inexcusable.noveldrama
He strode to the coat rack, grabbed his jacket, and hurried out. He had to see Sadie.
In the hospital, Briley regained consciousness and was moved to a standard ward.
