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

Chapter 977:

“Yes, yes, of course. You’re absolutely right. My sister made a huge mistake, and it is a failure on our part as her family. Rest assured, I will see to it that she is properly disciplined for her actions. I will not allow her to mess things up again!”

Ophelia could hardly believe what she was hearing.

Had her brother really agreed to the Higgins family’s outrageous demands? Not only that, but he was vowing to discipline her, too? What had she even done wrong? Why should she be punished?

It was Sadie who had stolen Nathan from her, and it was Sadie who had poisoned the Higgins family into throwing her out! If anything, she was the victim here.

“Daren!” Ophelia cried out, her face a mask of shock and disbelief. “How can you say that? What did I do wrong? Why should I suffer? Sadie is the one who—”

The rest of her words died in her throat as a sharp slap echoed through the room.

Daren had swung his arm and delivered the blow himself, using enough force to leave her momentarily stunned.

His eyes were narrowed into slits, and his face was flushed with rage. “Enough! Haven’t you embarrassed us enough already? Look at the mess you’ve made! From now on, you will stay at home and reflect on your actions! I will deal with you when I get back!”

With that, Daren looked away, straightened his suit jacket, and nodded at Trey. “Let’s go.”

Trey nodded in acknowledgment and followed Daren out the door.

A pregnant silence fell over the living room at their departure. Ophelia was left trembling where she stood, while a few servants milled around without a single peep.

Ophelia was seething, her entire body consumed by anger and hatred. That bitch Sadie! The despicable Higgins family! And now, even her treacherous brother! They were all against her! Then a thought struck Ophelia—Trey had mentioned that Sadie was leaving tomorrow. Maybe this was her chance! She wasn’t about to let Sadie go without a fight!

The next day, at Beversea Hospital, the door to Sadie’s ward opened quietly.

Tina walked in, her pace brisk. “Sadie, everything has been set up just as you asked.” Although her voice was hushed, she couldn’t quite hide her excitement.

Sadie was standing by the window. After hearing Tina’s report, she slowly turned around, grabbed the trench coat draped over the chair, and threw it over her shoulders. “Thank you.”

She had made up her mind to finally exterminate the villains hiding in the shadows. Every secret would be laid bare.

The two women exited the hospital room and took the elevator downstairs.

A group of people was waiting for them at the entrance to the inpatient department.

Rodger stood at the forefront, with Nathan next to him. Daren hung back behind them, looking stiff and awkward.
