Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 476

Chapter 476 Signing The

Contract

Sadie felt an unbearable sting rip across her back, every strike threatening to crush her bones.

She clenched her jaw, forcing herself to remain alert.

She refused to crumble before Coyle and those on his side.

One lash, then another… The sharp crack of leather seared into Isabel’s chest.

She yearned to intervene, but the staff restrained her, holding her fast.

Helpless, Isabel could only watch as Sadie endured the torment, her face streaked with tears of agony.

What felt like an endless nightmare finally concluded after fifty brutal lashes.

Sadie was drenched in crimson, her limbs numb and her mind clouded.

The staff hauled her away to a room, with Isabel trailing behind in haste.

“Sadie, speak to me!” Isabel’s voice broke, thick with emotion.

Sadie cracked her eyes open and forced a weak grin.

“I’m alright, Isabel. Don’t fret.”

“How can you say that?” Isabel whispered bitterly. “I failed to shield you.

Sadie longed to reach out, to console her, but her strength had all but vanished.

“This is what they intended,” Sadie murmured. “Go back. Rest. I’ll recover soon.”

Sadie didn’t want Isabel burdened with her fragile state. Yet Isabel hesitated.

Seeing this, Sadie added, “If you remain, I won’t find peace. Keep watch on Coyle and his team. We can’t risk them making another move.”

The words struck Isabel like lightning.

Staying would only make things worse.

Wiping away her tears, she nodded.

“Alright. I’ll leave now. Call for me if you need anything.”

Sadie gave a faint nod, watching Isabel depart, glancing back with every step.

Once alone, Sadie finally let go of her composure as a wave of pain swept over her, stealing the air from her lungs.

Moments later, Samuel arrived with a physician in tow.

His expression darkened at the sight of Sadie’s condition.

“Doctor, quickly!” he ordered.

The doctor sprang into action.

The injuries were ghastly–her back raw and marred.

As the ointment was applied, the doctor spoke gently. “Ms. Hudson, your wounds are severe, Fifty lashes… they were

merciless. You must rest and avoid exertion.”

Sadie bit down on the scream building in her throat.

This pain was nothing compared to what she had already endured.

After the doctor completed the treatment and relayed his advice, he gathered his equipment and departed.

Samuel saw him out, then quietly returned to Sadie’s side, burdened with remorse.

“Ms. Hudson, forgive me. I didn’t foresee their plot, and now this has happened.”

Sadie gave a faint shake of her head, her complexion ghostly pale.

“You’re not to blame. Their snare was set long before today, simply waiting for me to stumble into it. There was no

avoiding it.”

Samuel’s brows furrowed. He was unwilling to accept her reasoning.

“But Ms. Hudson, you didn’t have to go through this. You could’ve clarified everything. Perhaps the elders wouldn’t have

sided with Coyle.”

“Clarify?” A bitter laugh escaped Sadie’s lips. “Do you believe they would’ve let me speak?”

She paused, her tone laced with bitterness. “Coyle’s family has long aimed to oust me from the chairwoman seat. Even if I

had explained, they would’ve devised another scheme. It’s wiser to bide my time.”

Samuel still struggled to grasp her strategy.

“But Ms. Hudson, this price is steep. You’re gravely wounded, and now Coyle has seized the chairperson role. Is it truly

worth it?”

Sadie’s gaze turned cold, a sly smile tugging at the corner of her mouth.

“Only by doing this can I make them lower their defenses and eventually expose their ambitions. Coyle’s hunger for the

Wall Group is no secret. Let him enjoy his false victory–I’ll reclaim it when the time is right.”

Additionally, what lay ahead required her to remain unnoticed.

Samuel’s eyes lit up with realization, admiration clear in his expression.

Ms. Hudson was remarkable! Even in such a dire situation, she remained composed, just like Mr. Wall in the past.

“Ms. Hudson, you can count on me. I’ll see it through.”

Sadie nodded approvingly.

“The next steps are yours. Keep a sharp eye on Coyle and his actions.”

She paused briefly, her expression darkening as a memory surfaced. “Also, tighten security around Patrick.”
