Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129 Freeze

“Good news! Lawrence Group is interested in renewing our collaboration.

Cheers erupted throughout the studio.

“That’s fantastic, Sadie!”

“We can definitely overcome this challenge.”

“Let’s give it our all!”

As the team celebrated, Sadie’s phone, which lay on the table, began to vibrate.

She picked it up and saw it was the private detective she had hired.

She swiped to answer. “Hello?”

“Miss Hudson, we’ve located Byrum,” the detective said in a low, serious tone. “He’s currently hiding in a rundown neighborhood in the west of the city. I’ve sent the exact address to your phone.”

A rundown neighborhood in the west of the city–known for its dubious reputation- implied Byrum likely felt guilty.

“Thank you, I’ve received it,” Sadie said, taking a deep breath. “I’ll head over as soon as I can.”

After ending the call, Sadie faced her team, managing a smile.

“Everyone, please stay focused here. I have an urgent matter to attend to. Sonia, I’ll leave the studio in your care.”

“Sadie, what’s going on?” Sonia Torres asked, concern in her voice, while the others looked on curiously.

Sadie hesitated, then chose transparency. “I’ve found Byrum’s location. I need to go and get some answers.”

The room tensed immediately.

“Sadie, it’s too risky for you to go alone.” Sonia expressed her worry.

“Let us come with you!”

“Yes, Sadie. There’s strength in numbers.”

Sadie shook her head. “I appreciate your concern, but this is something I must do on my own. Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.” Resolving the issue with Byrum quickly was crucial; delays could complicate things further.

In a dilapidated rental house in the west of the city, Byrum’s voice was obsequious and urgent. “Hello, Miss Wade, about the final payment…”

On the other end, Kyla’s voice carried clear impatience. “Why are you still there? Didn’t we agree you’d leave immediately after the job was done?”

“I…” Byrum stammered, “I don’t have the money for a plane ticket. Miss Wade, about the final payment…”

Kyla let out a sneer. “Once you’re out of the country, the payment will be transferred.”

Byrum started to panic. “Miss Wade, you can’t do this. What if I get caught and expose everything?”

“Don’t you dare!” Kyla snapped back fiercely. “If you breathe a word, I’ll make sure you regret it.”

Byrum’s complexion turned ashen.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!” Loud knocking suddenly echoed, intensifying the already strained atmosphere.
