Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 540

Chapter 540 I Can Walk

Nathan was stunned.

He was in Beversea, dominated by the Higgins family, a family whose influence was undeniable. Now, he, a member of the Higgins family, was detained by the enigmatic CEO of the Burgess Group?

If this news leaked, how would he face anyone? What would become of his family’s esteemed reputation?

“You’re overstepping, Patrick!”

Nathan observed Jack walking toward him, his face devoid of emotion, signaling he might indeed hurt him.

A wave of anxiety surged through Nathan. Patrick was serious.

Taking a deep breath, Nathan tried to compose himself and reason with Patrick.

“Mr. Noel, you know the Higgins and Burgess Groups are business partners now. Doesn’t it concern you that your actions could endanger our partnership?”

His voice softened. “I was just sorting out some business details with Ms. Hudson. The Higgins and Johnson Groups have been discussing a new energy project with the Wall Group. It involves sensitive family information that shouldn’t be shared with outsiders.”

Nathan clung to the pretext of business confidentiality.

Noah halted, turned, and let out a faint, icy chuckle as if he’d heard a joke. Did Nathan really think he couldn’t see through such a feeble ploy?

Before coming to Beversea, he’d had Jack gather extensive intel on the leading families here and their recent business activities.

He knew about the rift between the Higgins brothers, the marital alliance with the Johnson family, and the intricacies of the new energy project.

What could Nathan truly be discussing with Sadie? Given the internal conflicts in the Higgins family, Nathan was probably trying to secure the Wall Group’s support to oppose Jarrett and the Johnsons. What else could be his motive?

Noah just didn’t understand one thing. Known for her astuteness, Sadie always pursued clear benefits. What could Nathan,

generally seen as a worthless playboy, offer or hold over her to secure such swift cooperation?

Nathan smirked, his demeanor more relaxed. He leaned forward, his tone tinged with mystery.

“It involves the one Ms. Hudson cares about most!” His light words carried a biting undertone.

A crease formed on Noah’s forehead under his mask, as he felt an unexpected tightness in his chest. “Who?”

Nathan cleared his throat and narrowed his eyes playfully, then resumed a more relaxed stance.

“Actually, it’s…” He let the rest of the sentence hang, feeling the weight of the moment. “It’s…”

Before he could finish, Noah’s gaze turned icy and intense.

Nathan’s pulse quickened, and he instinctively became more earnest. “Actually, it’s her parents!”

This revelation slightly eased the tension.

Noah’s features relaxed subtly, as he remembered the details Jack had uncovered.

Years back, the Hudson family’s enterprise had crumbled, and the couple had disappeared, believed to be dead. Could it be

…?

Nathan observed the shift in Noah’s expression with a hint of satisfaction, confident in his strategic move.

He shrugged, slipping back into his playful, cheeky manner.

“As for everything else, well, Mr. Noel, you could beat me to death right here, and I still wouldn’t have anything more to say.” Nathan lifted his hands, feigning an easy shrug. “Come on, we’re businessmen. Nobody shows their last card without seeing something real on the table first, right?”

Noah’s frown deepened, but he didn’t press further.
