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

Chapter 976:

“I told you, I didn’t do anything!” she said, almost screaming now. “It’s all Sadie’s fault! She brought it on herself! She deserved it!”

Daren let out a long exhale. Just like that, he understood everything.

His spoiled, reckless sister had no doubt targeted Sadie.

What a fool!

Had she forgotten who Sadie was? She was the head of the Wall Group, someone they could never afford to cross! How could Ophelia try to harm Sadie?

Still, the Higgins family had simply sent Ophelia back instead of punishing her, so that must mean Sadie was unharmed.

Daren breathed a sigh of relief at that. Thank God for small blessings. At least things hadn’t devolved into utter disaster.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t just be the Higgins family they would have to deal with, but the Wall Group as well. And the Johnson family might not survive that fate.

Thinking quickly, Daren plastered a look of regret on his face. “Trey, please accept my sincerest apologies for my attitude earlier. I was rude and careless…”

“My sister acted without thinking, and I apologize for any trouble she has caused the Higgins family and Ms. Hudson. Is there anything Mr. Rodger Higgins needs from us?” Daren said.

Trey raised an eyebrow. The sudden change in Daren’s demeanor sparked a flicker of disdain within him.

Daren certainly knew how to adapt to situations as they occurred. It was unfortunate that his sister was his complete opposite.

“Mr. Higgins has asked that you come to the Higgins Manor right away. Ms. Hudson is not feeling well and will be leaving for Jazmah early tomorrow morning. Mr. Higgins would like to discuss the arrangements for her departure with you.”

Trey paused to shoot a cold, scornful glance at Ophelia, who was still sobbing uncontrollably.noveldrama

“As for your sister, I regret to inform you that the Higgins family cannot accept someone like her. It is Mr. Higgins’s hope that you closely monitor her moving forward, so that she doesn’t cause any more problems in the future.”

With those words, he had practically declared the end of Ophelia’s marriage to Jarrett.

A ball of dread settled in the pit of Daren’s stomach. Had he misheard Trey? How could this be happening?

The Johnson family was in desperate need of the Higgins family’s support. This marriage alliance was crucial to their survival.

Regardless of what Ophelia had done, she was clearly at fault. But Daren couldn’t let her foolishness ruin the relationship between the two families and ultimately foil the Johnson family’s interests.

Daren forced a more contrite smile.
