Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 498

Chapter 498 The Pendant

Noah furrowed his brows as he stepped forward.

Clutched in the officer’s hand was an evidence bag, and Noah could instantly tell what was inside–the pendant definitely belonged to the limited–edition handbag Hailey had recently bought.

Why was it on Sutton’s body? And what role did Sadie play in this?

Noah’s face set into a grim line, yet he remained silent.

He had a gut feeling that something was off, and he needed time to piece it all together.

Without saying anything, he turned and left the police station.

Sadie watched the man wearing the silver mask. His retreat was marked by a chilling aloofness.

When had he shown up? Why was he here? But now wasn’t the time to ponder these questions.

She faced the officer again, aware that the situation was not in her favor.

The evidence seemed to point directly at her, but she was sure the pendant didn’t belong to her.

Explaining now might seem like she was scrambling to prove her innocence.

Taking a deep breath, Sadie collected herself.

She looked the middle–aged officer in the eye and said evenly, “I’m ready to cooperate with your investigation. However, before we head to the interrogation room, I need a moment to discuss some urgent business matters with my colleague.”

She was referring to Blaine, who was standing beside her.

The officer eyed her for a second, then glanced at Blaine, who appeared anxious.

After a pause, he agreed. “Alright, you have twenty minutes.”

Considering Sadie’s position as chairwoman of Wall Group, the flexibility seemed justified.

She signaled to Blaine to come closer.

In a hushed tone, she instructed, “Blaine, go back to the office and stabilize things. Coyle is out–we can’t let things spiral.”

Blaine nodded solemnly, his usually relaxed demeanor now somber.

“Got it, Sadie. I’ll handle it.”

After a short pause, Sadie added, “There’s something else. Check on that pendant.”

A vague memory flashed through her mind–an image of a day long past when she had been at that upscale boutique downtown, searching for a birthday present for Isabel. She was drawn to a newly released handbag, its design remarkably distinct. Dangling from the handbag was a pendant, looking exactly like the one sealed in the evidence bag.

She vividly recalled preparing to have it gift–wrapped when Hailey and Sutton entered the boutique one after the other.

Chapter 408 The Pendant

Preferring to avoid any interaction with them, she had left the store without buying the bag

“Head to that boutique and look up their sales records. See who purchased that handbag after I walked out ”

Blaine paid close attention, his usual playful spark now replaced by a serious resolve.

He grasped the urgency of the matter, recognizing the setup.

Firmly, he pledged, “Don’t worry, Sadie. You can count on me. Grandpa made me promise to keep you safe, and 1 intend to

keep that promise.”

Sadie felt a slight easing of her burden.

She nodded. “Alright. I trust you.”

Time was pressing.

She gave Blaine a final look. “The company is yours to manage now.”

She then turned decisively and followed the officer to the interrogation room.

Blaine stood firm for a moment, his hands balling into fists.

He was determined to uncover the mastermind behind this scheme.

With resolve, he turned and exited the police station.

Meanwhile, Noah arrived back at his suburban villa.
