Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret

Chapter 961:

Every word that Hailey spoke struck a nerve in Briley, just as she had intended. That last sentence, in particular, succeeded in igniting the rage that had long been festering inside Briley.

Why? Why should that vicious outsider, Sadie, get everything the Wall family had to offer?

And what about her, Briley? Was she destined to be trampled beneath Sadie’s feet, when she had more right to the family fortune?

Her heart burned with resentment.

“No! I will never let that vile wretch have her way!” Briley cried out, her upper lip curling in disdain.

Her tone suddenly turned mysterious as she continued, “Oh, but I have heard something interesting from the grapevine. Apparently, Sadie was hospitalized. I still don’t know the exact reason, but we can use this detail to our advantage, don’t you think?”

The news made Hailey pause. Sadie was ill? Why would she suddenly end up in a hospital?

A vague sense of unease crept into Hailey’s chest, but it was gone in an instant, and she didn’t dwell on it.

Her priority at the moment was to keep her dear pawn in line and make sure she still had Briley’s alliance.

“Briley, darling,” Hailey cooed, her tone concerned. “Whatever you do, don’t be too impulsive! Sadie is the future wife of a Higgins family heir. We can’t go after her…”

Now, or we would just be making trouble for ourselves. It’s best to come up with a foolproof plan before we make our move.”

By then, however, Briley was too absorbed in her thirst for revenge to listen to reason. She simply couldn’t let another day go by without making Sadie pay for her sins.

“A plan? Yeah, right!” Briley snapped impatiently.noveldrama

There was one thing she wanted, and one thing only—to punish Sadie, once and for all.

Briley hung up the phone without another word.

Hailey slowly picked herself up from the ground and dusted off her clothes.

She lifted her chin and pulled her shoulders back as her lips curled into a victorious smile. All that was left for her to do now was sit back and watch the drama unfold.

“Let’s see how you handle Briley this time, Sadie!” Hailey muttered under her breath.

At the Beversea Grand Hotel,

Briley slumped back on the sofa, still clutching her phone tightly.

That useless, good-for-nothing Hailey! All she ever did was cry and whine, and the most cunning scheme she had ever pulled off was playing the victim to gain people’s sympathy!

If Hailey kept hesitating and second-guessing every suggestion she made, how could they ever accomplish anything significant?
