Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 343

Chapter 343 A Slap

Susannah looked much younger than her age, her figure well–maintained and her skin glowing with vitality.

Today marked the return of her husband, Terrance Howe, chairman of Howe Group, from overseas.

She had arranged for a grand family dinner to celebrate his retu

“Mrs. Howe, dinner is ready. Would you like anything else?” a servant inquired respectfully.

Susannah nodded, pleased. “Hmm, very good. Ensure the Köttbullar–Terrance’s favorite–is perfectly cooked; not too tough, yet not underdone.”

“Understood, Mrs. Howe. We will take care of it.”

Susannah gave the table setting a final inspection, only relaxing when everything met her exacting standards.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps resounded in the living room.

“Aunt Susannah! Aunt Susannah!”

Her nephew, Lamont, appeared, urgency etched on his face.

He was employed at Howe Group and maintained a good rapport with Alex.

“Lamont? What brings you here?” Susannah questioned, her surprise evident. “What’s the matter? Why such anxiety?”

Catching his breath, Lamont blurted out, “Aunt Susannah, there’s a major problem. The Howe Group is facing a crisis.”

“What?” Susannah paled, her hand nearly dropping her silk handkerchief. “What did you say? A crisis? How?” Her voice rose sharply, trembling with panic.

“I… I’m not entirely sure…” Lamont hesitated, his voice faltering as he tried to compose himself. “I was with my wife at Vivi’s studio. You remember Vivi, former chief designer at Majestic Ego, the renowned jewelry brand?”

Susannah nodded for him to proceed.

“We were there to discuss some bespoke jewelry we’d ordered. During the visit, I accidentally overheard Vivi on the phone. She mentioned Sadie… it seemed to be connected to the Howe family…”

“Sadie?” The name echoed in Susannah’s thoughts.

“Sadie Hudson?” she exclaimed, her tone laced with disbelief.

“Yes! Exactly! That’s the name.” Lamont confirmed with a slap to his thigh.

“Vivi indicated that because of Sadie, the Howe Group has encountered trouble… She also mentioned the Wall Group has targeted us…”

“The Wall Group?” Susannah’s face grew somber.

The name Noah Wall was practically legendary in the business circles–everybody knew it.

He was known for his ruthless and decisive strategies, his reputation preceding him.

If the Wall Group was indeed targeting the Howe Group, the implications were dire

Susannah shuddered at the thought, her body beginning to quiver.

“Where’s Alex? is be aware of this issue?” she demanded, urgency coloring her voice.

I don’t know,” Lamont admitted, his expression one of confusion. “I came straight here to inform you after overhearing Vivi’s phone call. Alex hasn’t spoken to me about the company lately.

Unable to remain seated, Susannah rose swiftly, snatched her designer handbag from the sofa, and strode towards the exit.

“No! I must go to the company. I need to find Alex and uncover the truth.”

“Aunt Susannah, I’ll accompany you,” Lamont offered, hastening to keep up.

Together, they left the villa, climbed into the car, and drove off towards Howe Group.

Meanwhile, in the lobby of Howe Group, Sadie sat on a couch, her gaze locked on the elevator doors.

Her heart burned with anxiety and impatience.

She could not just sit idly by, she needed to act.

Reaching for her phone, she dialed Alex’s number once more.

“Beep… beep… beep…”

The same long, monotonous tone continued to play.

With each passing second, Sadie’s heart sank further.

Just as she was about to lose hope, the elevator from the parking garage chimed.

A group of people emerged, among them a figure Sadie recognized instantly.

It was Susannah.

Why was Susannah here?

Surprise and confusion washed over Sadie.

Before she could rise, Susannah had already seen her.

The moment Susannah’s eyes met Sadie’s, they flashed with icy fury.
