Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 428

Chapter 428 A Blessing

“Please rest assured,” Sadie said. “I won’t hold up any progress on this project.”

Amy looked at her, belatedly noticing her pale complexion and the dark circles under her eyes. Clearly, the poor girl wasn’t

resting well.

After some hesitation, Amy started to say, “Sadie, you-”

“I need to go and pick up Averi from school now. Please take care of yourself, Amy.” Sadie seemed to have sensed her

concern and quickly took her leave before Amy could voice her worries.

The Wall family had just wrapped up Nigel’s funeral. The vast hall was nearly empty, with just a few relatives loitering

near the entrance.

“This is all Sadie’s fault. She’s a black mark to the family, I tell you! It wasn’t enough for her to bring misfortune upon the

Hudson family, she just had to bring it to Nigel, too.” Isabel was standing before the coffin, ranting on and on with a look

of disdain on her face.

She dabbed at her eyes as she spoke, though she didn’t appear particularly upset by Nigel’s death.

“Nigel was so fond of that woman when he was alive, but she didn’t even come to see him one last time. That ungrateful

wretch!”

Noah stood a few steps behind Isabel, his face dark and ominous. “Say one more word, and you’ll return to the estate in

the suburbs.”

Isabel harrumphed. She knew Noah had long since been bewitched by that vixen, Sadie.

She did hold back her words, however, and only said after a while, “Do you know where Kyla is? I haven’t seen her lately.”

Instead of answering, Noah silently approached his grandfather’s coffin and bowed three times. Then he turned and left the

hall without another glance at his mother.

A car was already waiting for him in the driveway. Once settled in the backseat, Noah rubbed his temples and asked, “How

is Sadie?”

“Her bodyguards just reported back that she’s headed to the kindergarten to pick up Averi,” Samuel answered from the

passenger seat.

“All right.” Noah waved his hand–a silent instruction to the driver to take them to the kindergarten.

Then he leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes, relishing the brief respite.

“You need a break, Mr. Wall. You’ve been dealing with your grandfather’s funeral and other family matters these past few days. Perhaps you should head back to Myrtlewood Estate for now?” Samuel suggested, his worry evident in his tone.

How could one man, even one as great as Noah, endure so much strain in such a short period of time.

Noah opened his eyes. “I’m fine,” he said coldly “Any news about the Quinn and Olson families?”

“The Quinn family has filed for bankruptcy, while the Jenkins family launched an attack on the Olson family. Anson disappeared in the aftermath, and now, most of the Olson family’s assets has fallen into the hands of the Jenkins family.”

Noah hummed his approval.

At the entrance of the international kindergarten, Averi, with a tiny backpack on his back, darted through the gates. “Mommy!” he cried out as he launched himself into his mother’s embrace.

Sadie caught him and stroked his head. “Let’s go home, sweetheart.”

Mother and son walked down the pavement hand in hand.

They soon reached a less crowded area, and just as Sadie was about to ask Averi what he wanted for dinner, a disheveled woman suddenly charged at them from the alley. She was brandishing a small kitchen knife, and it was aimed directly at Sadie’s chest.

“Go to Hell, Sadie Hudson!” the woman screeched, her voice filled with a frenzied kind of hatred.

Sadie’s eyes flashed.

Her body reacted on instinct, and before she even knew it, she had pulled Averi behind her.

Before the blade could even draw close, however, a bunch of black–clad bodyguards emerged from the shadows and subdued the assailant.

It all happened so fast that it hadn’t even occurred to Sadie to fear the situation.

It wasn’t until the danger had passed that she realized her body was trembling.

“It’s all right, Averi. We’re all right. We’re safe now.”

The little boy looked terrified as he clung to her mother’s neck. He was shaking as well, and his eyes were filled with tears, though he did his best to keep them from falling.

With an aching heart, Sadie soothed Averi as best as she could. “You did well, darling. You’re such a good boy. Mommy will buy you some candy later. How does that sound?”

Once he had calmed down and Sadie had made sure that he wasn’t hurt, she gently set Averi down. He obediently nodded when she told him to stay put.

Then Sadie faced her attacker, only to realize that the crazed woman before her was none other than Vivi.

The bodyguards had her pinned to the ground, but she continued to writhe and scream. “You need to die, Sadie! You bitch!”

Sadie scoffed and shook her head. She had no idea what she could have done to Vivi to garner this much loathing.
