Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 191

Chapter 191 A Solution Found

Sadie had spent the entire night awake. Her eyes were red and sore, giving her a worn–out look, yet her gaze retained a

piercing quality.

The light aroma of coffee hung in the air. In the stillness of the room, only the gentle rustling of design papers could be

heard.

Suddenly, a knock disrupted the silence.

“Come in,” Sadie called out, her voice rough from exhaustion.

As the door swung open, Pierre entered, cradling an elegant velvet box in his hands.

“Miss Hudson, this was sent over by Mr. Howe,” Pierre said, presenting the box with formality.

Surprise flickered across Sadie’s face as she accepted the box, her expression turning to one of puzzlement as she lifted the

lid.

Nestled inside was a breathtaking diamond necklace, featuring a large Cardilla Pink Diamond as its stunning centerpiece.

Sadie’s heart jolted, and for a moment, she froze.

It was the very pink diamond she had been desperately seeking throughout the city, missing from her latest design draft.

How had Alex found one?

Without hesitation, Sadie blurted out, “Where did this come from?”

Pierre paused momentarily before responding, “This belonged to Mr. Howe’s mother. He presented it to her on her birthday

last year.”

In an instant, Sadie’s face took on a complex expression. Alex had taken his mother’s necklace… and given it to her?

Her grip on the box tightened, her knuckles whitening.

After a lengthy silence, she said, “Please extend my gratitude to Mr. Howe.”

With a nod, Pierre exited the studio.

Holding the necklace, Sadie let out a deep sigh. She realized that Alex was attempting to support her through this challenging time.

With deliberate care, Sadie nestled the necklace back into its box, knowing it wasn’t hers to keep.

The significance of the piece was too great–originally a heartfelt gift from Alex to his mother; it wasn’t something she could rightfully accept.

She had already developed a new solution that would help her navigate her current difficulties.

The reason she hadn’t rejected the gift immediately was to prevent any additional stress for Alex.

Once the present issue was resolved, she planned to return the necklace.

Soon after, a soft knock interrupted her thoughts again.

Pierre stepped back into the room, his face etched with regret.

“No change at the airport, Miss Hudson. All flights remain delayed.”

Gently shaking her head, Sadie let her dark hair fall forward, shading one side of her pale face.

“There’s no need for further contact,” Sadie said firmly.

Pierre hesitated, seeming on the verge of speaking, then reconsidered.

“Tell the team to take a two–day break. They need some rest,” Sadie instructed.

“A two–day break?” Pierre responded, his surprise evident.

Could they afford to pause everything during such a critical time?

With determination in her voice, Sadie replied, “Yes, just go ahead and arrange it.”

Despite his worries, Pierre gave a concerned look, then nodded and exited.

He proceeded to the common area, where employees were gathered, discussing the situation around the missing diamond

under a cloud of tension.

“Everyone,” said Pierre, his voice carrying a hint of dryness, “Miss Hudson has granted us two days off.”

The moment Pierre announced the time off, murmurs swept through the studio.

“Two days off? Right now?” someone questioned incredulously.

“Does this mean the studio is on the brink?” another pondered aloud.

“Considering the magnitude of our problems, resolution seems impossible,” a voice added somberly.

Quiet whispers spread among the employees, intensifying the already somber mood.

With a sense of resignation, they gathered their belongings and departed with heavy steps.

Before long, Sadie was left alone in the studio.

Meanwhile, Kyla was seated near a floor–to–ceiling window, idly swirling her wine glass.

As she sipped her wine, a sardonic smile played across her lips. “Sadie, do you genuinely believe you can salvage this situation?” Kyla mused darkly. “I’m curious to see how you plan to complete the ‘Ten Year Promise‘ design without the

Cardilla Pink Diamond.”

Placing her glass aside, Kyla walked to the desk and picked up a red velvet box.
