Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 461

Chapter 461 An Imposter

Sadie hended back to Wall Manor.

Isabel was waiting for her in the living room, and as soon as she saw Sadie, she waved the latter over.

“Come here, Sadie.” Isabel’s voice was noticeably softer than years ago.

“Isabel,” Sadie greeted with a nod as she sat next to her mother–in–law,

Isabel let out a sigh and took her hand. “I think it’s time for us to arrange for Noah’s burial. He’s been gone for some time

now. We can’t keep putting this off.”

Sadie looked down and kept silent, her mind drifting off.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t shake the image of Patrick from her mind.

Noticing her dazed state, Isabel assumed that she was still grieving.

“I know it hurts,” she said, patting Sadie’s hånd. “But we can’t bring him back, and we need to move forward with our lives.

I spoke with the priest. The tenth of this month is an appropriate day for the burial. Let’s lay Noah to rest in the Wall

family’s cemetery.”

That snapped Sadie back to her senses.

Noah’s burial?

The words cut like a knife through her heart.

She turned to Isabel, her expression heavy, and finally nodded. “Let’s do that, then.”

Isabel let out another sigh, this time one of relief. There wasn’t much else to say after that.

The next morning.

The atmosphere in the Wall Group’s conference was so tense, it was suffocating. They were having a shareholders‘ meeting. and it was far from a pleasant one.

Coyle was barely hiding his smirk. He was pleased with himself, and he wanted everyone to know it.

He was convinced that Sadie would meet her downfall today. There was no way she could turn things around at this point.

He glanced over at the empty seat at the head of the table, and his smirk widened. Sure enough, Sadie didn’t even show up.

She was scared, after all.

Feeling all smug and giddy, he leaned back in his chair and basked in his triumph. He could already picture her begging for mercy, and he knew he was going to love every second of it.

Across the room, the other shareholders looked grim. Their brows were furrowed in concern ad they brooded in silence.

They had placed their hopes on Sadie to lead the Wall Group out of its crises.

Now, it seemed that they had badly misjudged her capabilities. She was faltering at such a crucial moment, making them feel like their support had all gone to waste.

Just then, the doors of the conference room swung open.

Sadie stepped inside, followed by Samuel and another, unfamiliar young man.

Everyone was caught off–guard.

This young man was tall and striking, but the most distinct thing about him was the mischievous smile he was sporting He looked like the typical spoiled, rich kid.

“Who is he?” They wondered among themselves.

Sadie walked straight to her seat.

Her expression was calm and unperturbed, but as her gaze swept across the room, they noticed the telltale signs of

exhaustion in her eyes.

The past few days had truly been hard on her, but she couldn’t afford to waver now. She refused to show any weakness,

not when there were so many people waiting for her to fail.

Blaine followed her, pulled out a seat next to her, and casually plopped down.

The seat he had taken was to Sadie’s right–a position reserved exclusively for the Castro family. It had been vacant since

Ralph’s retirement.

And now this young man just sauntered in and took it?

The whispers grew even more animated.

Coyle said nothing, but his expression was dark as he fixed his narrowed eyes on Blaine.

Who was this guy? What was Sadie up to?

Malcolm Pierce, one of the shareholders, was livid. He shot up to his feet and pointed a finger at Blaine. “Who do you think you are? Who gave you the right to sit there?” He was so furious, even his white beard seemed to tremble when he spoke.

Not that it had any effect on Blaine. If anything, his smile turned even more devious, his eyes gleaming with amusement. He raised an eyebrow at Malcolm and replied, “My name is Blaine Castro.”

His tone was light and lazy, as if his name did not carry the weight that it did.

A pregnant silence fell over the room for a few seconds before it erupted into hushed remarks of confusion and disbelief.

They had heard of Blaine before, of course, but no one had ever seen him in person. All they knew was that he was Ralph’s only grandson, that he was raised abroad, had a carefree approach to life, and was notoriously unconventional in his ways.

Was the Castro family finally reclaiming their position among the ranks of the Wall Group? But how was that possible?

Coyle’s face twisted into an even uglier expression.

The Castro family’s sudden involvement was throwing a dent to his plans. He couldn’t allow this to happen!

His upper lip curled into a sneer, and he scoffed loudly. “What is this now, Sadie? Did you honestly think you can fool us

by hiring an imposter? Frankly, I find that insulting.”

Some shareholders bobbed their heads in agreement.

After all, Ralph was a man of great stature. How could this frivolous young man possibly be his grandson?
