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

Chapter 774:

Just then, the door swung open forcefully.

Samuel strode in, flanked by a cadre of bodyguards clad in stark black suits. Their imposing presence seemed to chill the very air in the room.

The assistant trembled, his legs nearly buckling from fear.

Caught off guard, Coyle stared at the unfolding scene.

Samuel, ignoring Coyle’s strained gaze from the bed, signaled to the bodyguards. “Do it.”

Immediately, two bodyguards advanced and grabbed Coyle.

Outraged and panicked, Coyle managed a weak protest.

“How… how dare you! Samuel, who… who do you think you are? You, just an assistant, dare lay hands on me?!”

His attempt to wield his status was pitiful, undermined by his slurred speech and drooling mouth, stripping him of any semblance of dignity.

Samuel finally met Coyle’s eye, his expression stoic, but his eyes icy.

“At this point, Mr. Wall, pretenses are unnecessary.”noveldrama

A wave of dread washed over Coyle.

Samuel’s voice was both low and piercing.

“The assassin you dispatched was apprehended immediately. Regrettably for him, he failed to harm Ms. Hudson. Instead, Miss Briley Wall inexplicably intervened to shield Ms. Hudson from the attack, ensuring her safety.”

He paused, watching Coyle’s expression shift to confusion, then continued.

“Ms. Hudson has decreed that you are to be escorted back to your residence in Zupren, barred from ever returning to this country.”

Coyle’s eyes nearly popped from their sockets.

His mouth agape, he struggled for words, but only his ragged breathing filled the silence.

Why would Briley protect that detestable Sadie?

Wasn’t she supposed to conspire with the assassin for a guaranteed outcome?

No, it wasn’t supposed to unfold like this!

A sudden realization hit Coyle like a thunderbolt.

He understood now.

That cursed Briley!

It was all her manipulation!

She had cunningly staged the entire self-sacrifice!

Using the assassin he had dispatched, she crafted her own scheme to win Sadie’s trust and garner the elders’ compassion!
