Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 577

Chapter 577 A Solution

Noah sat up and reached for the bathrobe on the nightstand, slipping it on before he padded out of the bedroom.

He found Tina meticulously arranging a breakfast spread on the dining table.

She paused when she saw him standing there, and gave him a polite greeting. “Good morning, Mr. Noel.”

Noah took a seat and picked up the cup of coffee in front of him as he swept a lazy gaze across the room.

“Where’s your boss?” he asked.

“Ms. Hudson left over an hour ago,” Tina replied. “She asked me to stay and look after Averi.”

Noah took a sip of coffee and let its rich, bitter taste spread across his tongue.

What an ungrateful woman! He had “gone out of his way” to take her in last night, and she couldn’t even afford him a simple thank you before she left?

Sadie just used him, then tossed him aside!

Noah’s internal grumbling was interrupted by the shrill ring tone of his phone. It was Forest.

Noah immediately frowned, but he still chose to take the call. “Hello?”

He was greeted by the older man’s jovial laughter. “Noah! Feeling better now? I just returned to the country. It’s been ages since we last saw each other. Why don’t we have dinner tonight and catch up? We should celebrate Hailey’s pregnancy!”

That last sentence caused Noah’s grip to tighten around his coffee cup.

His expression was stormy behind his mask, but he kept his voice cool and composed. “I’m not in Jazmah at the moment. Let’s meet up some other time.”

There was a pause on the other end, and he imagined Forest’s shock at his outright refusal.

Sure enough, when the latter spoke again, his tone was laced with a hint of upset. “Come on, Noah. That’s not like you at all. You know I didn’t fly all the way home just for dinner.”

He sighed before shifting gears and getting to his point. “The company’s overseas branch has been unsteady lately. A bunch of old–timers are getting too ambitious for their own good. I return to discuss this with you, and maybe glean some advice.”

Noah paused in the act of taking another sip of coffee, his expression darkening even further.

He had been aware of the brewing unrest within the Burgess Group, but he hadn’t expected things to escalate to the point that Forest would come back and personally seek his help.

Whatever this new problem was, it wasn’t just some minor hiccup.

“Send me the address,” Noah finally said, his tone curt.

Forest let out a pleased chuckle. “I knew you’d agree. I’ve booked a restaurant. I’m certain you will like the place. I’ll text you the details.”

Chapter 577 A Solution

Meanwhile, inside the meeting room of the Higgins Manor, the family elders were gathered around a circular rosewood

table, all of them stern–faced.

“What are we supposed to do now? That idiot Jarrett has dragged our family name through the mud with his scandal! Just

look at how much our stock prices have dropped! Our partners are all watching like hawks, ready to make a move as soon

as something happens!”

This came from a particularly hot–headed elder, who slammed his palm against the table in anger.

“We have to get rid of that woman. What’s her name again, Yvonne? That whore has no shame, making a scene in such an important occasion!”

He was practically foaming at the mouth by the time he finished speaking.

What an utter disgrace!

They had carefully arranged the marriage between the Higgins and Johnson families— they had gone to great lengths to reach a mutual agreement! And now, they had become the laughingstock of the country!

While the Johnson family might not carry as much weight in Beversea as the Higgins family, they were still an established powerhouse with deep ties to the local scene. It wouldn’t be wise to burn bridges with them.

Even so, they all knew that the Johnson family would not stand for this humiliation, and rightly so.

Just then, the double doors swung open, and two figures walked in.

It was Nathan, his usual look of mischief surprisingly replaced by an unfamiliar, somber expression, and Sadie trailed.

behind him.

All conversations immediately came to a stop, and a heavy silence fell over the room.

Nathan cleared his throat and forced a smile. “Good morning, gentlemen,” he said with a slight bow. “With all due respect, I don’t think pointing fingers and pinning the blame would serve us any purpose right now. I may actually have a solution that would pull the Higgins family out of this mess.”

He was met with doubting, unimpressed frowns all around.
