Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 241

Chapter 241 The Rival’s

Return

One day, Sadie quietly got out of bed and changed into a simple beige outfit.

The shock of Averi’s recent disappearance had had her on edge for the past few days. She insisted on taking him to and

from kindergarten herself, every single day.

“Mom, we have crafts class today at kindergarten. I’m going to make a toy car to give to Mr. Wall!” Averi was seated at the table, his short legs dangling over his chair as he spoke with excitement. His plump little face was beaming as he poked at

the bowl of food in front of him with his spoon.

Sadie smiled and reached out to wipe some stains from the corner of his mouth. “All right. I’ll get to see your masterpiece when I pick you up this afternoon.”

After dropping Averi off at kindergarten, Sadie drove to the studio.

The atmosphere at the studio was still rather depressing, since most of the employees had left for Wall Group.

“Miss Hudson, the Starlight Gala has been postponed,” Nanette said as she knocked on the office door and entered with a piece of paper in hand. “It’s now scheduled for next month.”

Sadie was in the middle of revising a design. She frowned and put the draft down. “Postponed? Did they say why?”

“Apparently, a big shot guest will attend then. But the organizers haven’t revealed who it is yet.” Nanette placed the file on Sadie’s desk. “This is the updated schedule for the event.”

Sadie glanced at it before saying, “Got it. For now, just focus on the work at hand.”

She was preoccupied not only by the studio’s current operations, but Averi’s safety as well. She didn’t really have more

attention to spare for the Starlight Gala.

“Oh, and one more thing.” Nanette paused in her tracks to look back at Sadie. “Ms. Shaw has asked about the pieces for the Dewy Hibiscus series several times now. How about sending them over this afternoon?”

“Sure. You can take the pieces to Stonemont Estate yourself.” Sadie nodded, adding, “Be careful with Ms. Shaw’s order.

Make sure there are no mistakes.”

“Understood, Miss Hudson,” Nanette replied before exiting the office.

Sadie leaned back in her chair and massaged her temples. She was tired.

There had been so many events lately, and all the hustle and bustle was taking a toll on her.

When noon rolled around, Sadie headed to the hospital to visit Laura. Thankfully, the old lady’s condition was improving significantly.

“Sadie, you’ve been working too hard lately. You need to rest,” Laura chided as she took Sadie’s hand and squeezed it.

“I’m fine, Grandma,” Sadie said with a forced smile. “Don’t worry. I’m taking care of myself.”

Later on, as she was leaving the hospital, Sadie felt a heavy weight settling in her heart.

She buried herself in work as soon as she returned to the studio.

“Miss Hudson, I’m heading to Stonemont Estate.” Nanette stood at the door of Sadie’s office, holding a package containing

the Dewy Hibiscus series.

“Drive safely,” Sadie called out without looking up from her desk.

After Nanette left, the studio became even quieter. The only sound that could be heard was the ticking of the clock and the occasional taps on the keyboard.

Sadie’s focus was on her computer screen as she pored over design after design.

Her concentration was broken when her phone chimed with a new WhatsApp message.

It was from Amy.

Sadie’s heart skipped a beat, a keen sense of foreboding came over her.

She hadn’t had much contact with Amy since she left Majestic Ego.

Sadie opened the message and froze as she processed the words Amy had sent. “Vivi resigned.”

Vivi?

Sadie’s breath hitched, and her fingers instinctively tightened around her mouse.

Vivi had been her rival back at Majestic Ego and had always been hostile towards her.

After Sadie left, Vivi had wasted no time taking over her position as the lead designer.

Why would Vivi resign out of the blue?

Sadie’s heart began to race as her thoughts became a tangled mess.

Was there trouble at Majestic Ego, or was Vivi moving on to something else?

“It can’t be…” Sadie muttered to herself, even as she struggled to dismiss the suspicions that formed in her mind. Try as she might, however, that feeling of unease from earlier seemed to rush back in full force.

She quickly typed out a reply for Amy. “What happened? Do you know why she resigned?”
