Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 417

Chapter 417 A Trap All Along

“The–The company… The company has been completely taken over!” Moses’s assistant sputtered, clearly on the verge of tears. “The contract with the Olson Group was nothing but a trap. The Quinn Group is done for!”

Moses felt a wave of despair wash over him. His vision blurred, and his body swayed for a few seconds before he collapsed

to the floor.

“Dad!”

“Mr. Quinn!”

“Moses!”

The room erupted into chaos.

“What the hell happened?” Vivi rushed to the assistant and grabbed him by the collar. “Was it Noah? Did he discover the

truth and decide to come after us?”

The assistant shook his head nervously, compounding the dizziness he felt from Vivi’s violent shaking. “It wasn’t the Wall

Group. It was… the Olson Group!”

Vivi froze.

“The Olson Group’s new energy project has collapsed. They are demanding us to fulfill the contract within three months, but all of our partnered manufacturers called last night, one by one, to terminate their contracts with us. Even if we manage to find alternative suppliers, it’s too late at this point. The Olson Group has invoked the terms of the contract and seized the remaining forty percent of the Quinn Group’s shares. They own one hundred percent of the company as we

speak…”

The assistant’s voice grew weaker by each word, and toward the end, it was nothing more than a whisper. “I’ve sent people to look into the matter. According to their report, those manufacturers acted under pressure from the Olson family.”

A realization struck Vivi then, like a bolt of lightning from the sky. They had been played from the very beginning it was

a trap all along.

“I’ll make you pay for this, Anson!” Vivi screamed as she stormed out of the villa to go and confront Anson.

“Damn it!” Kyla balled her hands into fists. She needed to find a way out.

Without wasting another second, she stuffed all the cash and jewelry she could get her hands on into a suitcase.

After everything she had heard, she was convinced that the Quinn family was finished.

As she drew near the second floor landing, the noise downstairs grew louder and louder.

“Where is Moses? Get him out here!”

“No one leaves this place until we get our money!”

“Enough of this! Let’s just go in and take every valuable we find!”

The creditors had come to collect their debts.

Kyla felt the color drain from her face. There was no telling what would happen to her if they caught her.

She rushed down the stairs, but instead of using the front door, she bolted through the more covert back door, which led to the garden.

She was foolish to think she had secured herself a powerful backer. The Quinn family was as useless as they came–they failed at the most crucial of times.

But Kyla had no time to dwell on this setback.

She had just snuck through the back door and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when several dark figures stepped out of the shadows and blocked her path.

“Where might you be off to, Miss Wade?” the man in the lead asked with a look of indifference.

Kyla looked up at the sound of his voice and immediately recognized the team of bodyguards. They were Noah’s men.

Her heart sank. It was over for her!

In the chaos that had happened, it had slipped her mind that Noah was still investigating the Quinn family. Now that they were facing their downfall, there was no way Noah would let her walk away.

“I… I…” Kyla tried to speak, but words wouldn’t come out of her mouth.

Not that any of that mattered, since the men weren’t interested in hearing her explanation. Without another word, they grabbed her and dragged her away.

The police station.

Sadie was released soon after Noah submitted the evidence. She spotted his car parked by the curb as soon as she stepped

outside.

Sadie hurried over and got in. “What on earth happened?” she asked urgently.

Samuel glanced at Noah, who remained silent. He took the initiative to answer on the latter’s behalf.

“Anson delivered the evidence last night. Vivi was behind everything.”

But Sadie was even more puzzled by this development. She had heard about the Olson–Quinn marriage alliance–why would Anson suddenly help her?

“Something doesn’t add up,” she muttered under her breath, her brows furrowed.

The car slowly pulled away from the police station.

Up ahead, the road split into two–one leading to Myrtlewood Estate, the other to the hospital.

“I want to visit Amy,” Sadie said, looking at Noah.

Still, he said nothing, and his deep–set eyes remained unreadable.
