Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 574

Chapter 574 Broken Lock

“Since Ms. Hudson is fine, I’ll leave you two to get some rest. I still have some things to deal with, anyway, so I’ll see

myself out.”

Even as he spoke, Nathan was already darting toward the door as though the devil himself was on his heels.

Just as he grabbed the door knob, however, he suddenly recalled something. He paused and looked back with a troubled

expression.

“Actually, Ms. Hudson…” Nathan scratched the back of his head, his tone caught between urgent and sheepish. “I might

need to trouble you again tomorrow–to accompany me to Higgins Manor.”

In light of the scandal that had exploded during Jarrett’s wedding, Rodger was no doubt struggling to clean up the mess.

This was the perfect opportunity for Nathan. If he managed to win over the elders and gain their support, taking Jarrett

down and seizing control of the Higgins Group would be well within his chip.

And Sadie was his main bargaining chip, the very key he needed to pull this off. He had to take her with him.

Sadie didn’t even bat an eye. “All right,” she said with a small nod, her tone calm.

Nathan looked visibly relieved by her response. “That’s great! Thank you so much, Ms. Hudson!”

After expressing his gratitude, he pulled the door open and was gone in a flash.

As soon as the door clicked closed, Noah turned to look at Sadie. There was an impertinent glint in his gaze as he said, “It’s

getting late. Will you consider staying here tonight?”

Sadie shot him a warning look. She had had enough with his presumptuous attitude.

“Thank you for keeping Averi company, Mr. Noel. I’m heading back now. I’ll pick him up tomorrow.”

She stood up and walked to the door without waiting for his reply.

Noah was unfazed, though. If anything, a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips.

He sauntered behind her, escorting her all the way to the door of the next room.

Sadie took out her key card and pressed it against the security sensor.

Beep!

Nothing happened. The lock light stayed red.

Frowning, she tried again. Still nothing.

Seriously? Was the hotel service really this bad?

Noah leaned against the wall beside the door. His words conveyed his surprise, but his tone told her that he had expected this to happen. “How unfortunate. It looks like your door is broken.” He cocked his head toward his room, adding, “Ms. Hudson, perhaps you should-”

Sadie cut him off with a glare.

This wasn’t a coincidence at all. The jerk was up to something again.

She tucked her key card away and stormed over to the elevator. “I’m staying with Tina tonight. I’ll call the front desk in the

morning to have it fixed.”

Surely, he couldn’t have tampered with every single door in this hotel.

Noah didn’t try to stop her. He didn’t even straighten up. He just crossed his arms over his chest as he watched her go.

“Suit yourself, Ms. Hudson.” His tone was magnanimous, suspiciously so.

Sadie felt a ripple of unease in her heart. She knew better than anyone that Noah would never let her off so easily.

Even so, she steeled herself and pressed the button to close the elevator doors.

The moment she was gone, Noah held up his left arm and stared at his watch.

After exactly five minutes- Ding! The elevator doors opened again, and out walked Sadie, her face a mask of irritation.

She looked at the man still lounging by the wall, torn between anger and resignation.

What rotten luck! Tina’s door wouldn’t open either. Worse still, her phone was off, so Sadie couldn’t reach her.

Sadie approached Noah, her steps heavy with resentment.

“Well then…” She refused to look at his face. “I may have to stay in your suite after all. Is that okay? Tina’s not in her room.”

Noah’s smile widened, and his eyes gleamed with thinly veiled satisfaction.
