Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 323

Chapter 323 A Favor From

Eva

“Ms. Shaw…” Sadie tried to steady the turmoil churning within her, aiming for a voice that was both calm and determined. “I… I need to ask you for a favor.”

Eva’s eyebrow arched, a flicker of intrigue crossing her refined features.

She motioned for Sadie to take a seat, her tone both gentle and inquisitive. “Oh? What kind of favor would make you come

to me in person?”

Taking a seat on the sofa, Sadie clasped her hands tightly together.

She pulled out a tablet from her bag, turned it on, and smoothly navigated the touchscreen. A jewelry design soon

illuminated the screen.

It featured a necklace, elegantly designed with a rare pear–shaped pink diamond at its heart, encircled by a myriad of tiny white diamonds that resembled a celestial array accentuating the pink gem’s radiance.

The design married classical elegance with a modern sensibility, radiating a breathtaking grace.

Eva’s gaze sharpened at the sight, her years of experience in jewelry design allowing her to immediately recognize the design’s exceptional quality.

“Is this…” Eva looked up at Sadie, a trace of confusion in her voice. “Your creation?”

Sadie nodded, remaining silent.

She watched Eva anxiously, awaiting her judgment.

Eva scrutinized the design again, then spoke slowly. “This design is quite impressive. The creativity, composition, and attention to detail are exemplary. It’s remarkable for someone your age to produce such work.”

Hearing Eva’s praise, Sadie felt a momentary relief, but her anxiety quickly resurfaced.

Eva’s tone changed as her expression grew incisive. “However, Sadie, you didn’t come here just to showcase your design, did you? Please, be direct. What exactly do you need my help with?”

Eva set the tablet down, folding her hands in her lap as she waited for Sadie’s explanation.

Sadie bit her bottom lip, keenly aware that she couldn’t keep any secrets from such an experienced individual.

She openly shared her current dilemma and her plan for the International Jewelry Design Competition with Eva, without

embellishment or omission.

“And that’s it,” Sadie concluded, releasing a deep breath as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

She looked at Eva, her eyes a mix of hope and apprehension.

<Chapter 323 A Favor From Eva

If Eva declined to help, Sadie doubted she could find another suitable ally.

The room fell into a profound silence.

Eva remained silent, her expression contemplative instead of immediately revealing her position.

After a significant pause, she finally spoke, her voice measured and profound. “Sadie, do you realize the magnitude of what

you’re asking?”

A chill ran through Sadie, as though she were plummeting into an icy abyss.

It was clear Eva was indicating that the favor was no small task.

“I know,” Sadie responded, her voice slightly hoarse yet her eyes resolute.

“But, Ms. Shaw, I… I really have no other option. I need to win. I must safeguard my child and stand up for myself.”

Her voice quavered towards the end, verging on a sob.

Eva regarded her with a complex expression, emotions flickering in her gaze.

“You, my dear…” Eva sighed softly, her smile tinged with resignation. “It seems… too hard to refuse you.”

Sadie’s head shot up, a flicker of hope in her eyes.

She gazed at Eva, barely daring to believe what she had heard.

“However… ” Eva’s tone shifted again. “Sadie, you must understand, assisting you means I’m opposing the Wall family and Kyla directly. That poses a significant risk for me.”

“I understand, Ms. Shaw,” Sadie quickly said, her voice laced with urgency. “Ms. Shaw, I… I won’t expect you to help

without something in return. I…”

She wanted to pay Eva money, but the gesture seemed inadequate.

Given Eva’s stature, monetary rewards likely held little appeal.

“You don’t need to mention that,” Eva interjected, waving her hand dismissively. “I’m helping you not for money or any other gain. It’s simply that I admire your talent and empathize with your situation. More importantly…”

She paused, her gaze intensifying. “I refuse to watch a promising designer like you be suppressed and wasted.”

Tears sprang to Sadie’s eyes.

She looked at Eva, her heart swelling with gratitude and respect.

“Thank you, Ms. Shaw,” she managed to say, her voice shaky. “Thank you for your trust and for your willingness to help.”

“Alright, no need for tears, Sadie.” Eva smiled, shaking her head as she passed a tissue from the coffee table.

“Wipe your tears. You’re competing in the International Jewelry Design Competition. You need to show your strength, not

your tears.”

Sadie accepted the tissue, dabbed at her eyes, and took a deep breath to steady herself.
