Chapter 599 Exterminating
The Villains
“My sister acted without thinking, and I apologize for any trouble she has caused the Higgins family and Ms. Hudson. Is there anything Mr. Rodger Higgins needs from us?” Daren said
Trey raised an eyebrow. The sudden change in Daren’s demeanor sparked a flicker of disdain within him.
Daren certainly knew how to adapt to situations as they occurred. It was unfortunate that his sister was his complete
opposite.
“Mr. Higgins has asked that you come to the Higgins Manor right away. Ms. Hudson is not feeling well, and will be leaving for Jazmah early tomorrow morning. Mr. Higgins would like to discuss the arrangements for her departure with you.”
Trey paused to shoot a cold, scornful glance at Ophelia, who was still sobbing uncontrollably.
“As for your sister, I regret to inform you that the Higgins family cannot accept someone like her. It is Mr. Higgins’s hope that you closely monitor her moving forward, so that she doesn’t cause any more problems in the future.”
With those words, he had practically declared the end of Ophelia’s marriage to Jarrett.
A ball of dread settled in the pit of Daren’s stomach. Had he misheard Trey? How could this be happening?
The Johnson family was in desperate need of the Higgins family’s support. This marriage alliance was crucial to their
survival.
Regardless of what Ophelia had done, she was clearly at fault. But Daren couldn’t let her foolishness ruin the relationship
between the two families and ultimately foil the Johnson family’s interests.
Daren forced a more contrite smile.
“Yes, yes, of course. You’re absolutely right. My sister made a huge mistake, and it is a failure on our part as her family. Rest assured, I will see to it that she is properly disciplined for her actions. I will not allow her to mess things up again!”
Ophelia could hardly believe what she was hearing.
Had her brother really agreed to the Higgins family’s outrageous demands? Not only that, but he was vowing to discipline her, too? What had she even done wrong? Why should she be punished?
It was Sadie who had stolen Nathan from her, and it was Sadie who had poisoned the Higgins family into throwing her out! If anything, she was the victim here.
“Daren!” Ophelia cried out, her face a mask of shock and disbelief. “How can you say that? What did I do wrong? Why
should I suffer? Sadie is the one who-”
The rest of her words died in her throat as a sharp slap echoed through the room.
Daren had swung his arm and delivered the blow himself, using enough force to leave her momentarily stunned,

His eyes were narrowed into slits, and his face was flushed with rage. “Enough! Haven’t you embarrassed us enough
already? Look at the mess you’ve made! From now on, you will stay at home and reflect on your actions! I will deal with you when I get back!”
With that, Daren looked away, straightened his suit jacket, and nodded at Trey. “Let’s go.”
Trey nodded in acknowledgment and followed Daren out the door..
A pregnant silence fell over the living room at their departure. Ophelia was left trembling where she stood, while a few
servants milled around without a single peep.
Ophelia was seething, her entire body consumed by anger and hatred.
That bitch Sadie! The despicable Higgins family! And now, even her treacherous brother! They were all against her!
Then a thought struck Ophelia–Trey had mentioned that Sadie was leaving tomorrow. Maybe this was her chance!
She wasn’t about to let Sadie go without a fight!
The next day, at Beversea Hospital, the door to Sadie’s ward opened quietly.
Tina walked in, her pace brisk. “Sadie, everything has been set up just as you asked.” Although her voice was hushed, she
couldn’t quite hide her excitement.
Sadie was standing by the window. After hearing Tina’s report, she slowly turned around, grabbed the trench coat draped
over the chair, and threw it over her shoulders. “Thank you.”
She had made up her mind to finally exterminate the villains hiding in the shadows. Every secret would be laid bare.
The two women exited the hospital room and took the elevator downstairs.
A group of people were waiting for them at the entrance to the inpatient department.
Rodger stood at the forefront, with Nathan next to him. Daren hung back behind them, looking stiff and awkward.
Rodger hurried forward to greet Sadie. He nervously rubbed his hands together in an attempt to look humble and
repentant.
The fact that Sadie was willing to settle this matter privately was a huge boon to the Higgins family, and he knew he
needed to show her the proper respect that came with her benevolence.
