Chapter 794

Then, Sadie’s voice cut through the haze, calm but edged with menace.

“Briley, you might want to reconsider your next move. The press is watching closely. If this turns into tomorrow’s headline, the fallout won’t be in your favor.”noveldrama

Her words struck Briley like a splash of cold water. The reporters, the flashing lenses, the endless spectators—it would all be documented. A single misstep could ruin everything.

She had toiled for days to restore her public persona. She couldn’t 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 moment—she wouldn’t 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 women—each with her own agenda—and 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.

“I’d like to make something crystal clear for our friends in the media. Sadie has repeatedly demonstrated her loyalty and competence. There is no doubt—leadership of the Wall Group is hers. Our family stands together. Speculations of infighting are baseless.”

He took a breath, his expression softening.

“As for Briley—while 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.”

Reporters burst into applause.

“Well said! The Wall family knows how to maintain order!”

“Exactly! Let her chase stardom—leave the business to capable hands.”

“Ms. Hudson truly earned her place!”

Briley was stunned to her core. After everything—every plan, every sacrifice to maintain her facade—this 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 Briley’s face, her own gaze steady and composed. She stepped closer and gently took Briley’s arm.

“Don’t be sad, Briley. If you ever need anything, you know where to find me. I’m always willing to lend a hand.”
