Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex–Husband’s Regret

Chapter 602 The Wall Group Was Hers

In the dressing room backstage of a prestigious event in Beversea, Briley just got off the phone.

The call had come from someone she had hired to keep track of Sadie.

He had just reported that Sadie was dead. Her car had been burnt into a crisp while driving down the highway

to Jazmah.

Briley gripped her phone so tightly, her knuckles turned white. It was all she could do not to break out in triumphant laughter.

Finally! That detestable woman was finally gone for good! The Wall Group was now hers! She was about to become the head of the company, and no one would be able to question her eligibility!

Briley rose to her feet and grabbed her coat.

Just then, Leonard opened the door and stepped inside, only to pause when he noticed that she was about to

leave.

He hurried over, saying, “The event is about to start. Shouldn’t we wait until it’s over before-”

He was abruptly cut off by a loud slap across his face.

Briley didn’t bother to mask her arrogance. “What kind of event is this? As the future CEO of the Wall Group, why should I waste my time on something so insignificant?”

She lifted her chin and huffed. “Go get the car. I’m heading back to Wall Manor right this instant. And call all the family elders. Tell them I have an important announcement to make.”

Leonard could barely keep up with everything–first the slap, and now her odd orders.

She was returning to the Wall Manor? She wanted him to call the family elders?

And… The future CEO of Wall Group? What did that even mean?

Had something happened to Sadie?

Leonard touched his burning cheek, overcome with confusion and disbelief. He stared at Briley, who seemed to have transformed into a different person entirely.

No, Briley had totally gone out of her mind.

But currently, he really had no choice but to follow her orders.

Leonard stifled his shock and gave a slight bow. “Understood.”

<Chapter 602 The Wall Group Was Hers

Later, in the Wall Manor, the heavy wooden doors of the meeting hall were pushed open. Inside, the family elders were already gathered around a long table, each of them looking tired and impatient. Some were even

yawning.

This was an ungodly hour for a family meeting. What could Briley possibly be up to now?

Seated at the head of the table, Jonah was the most irritable of them all. He looked up at Briley’s arrival, his

brows drawn into a scowl.

“Briley! What’s all this about? Why did you drag us old folks here all of a sudden?”

Briley braced herself and plastered a look of profound sorrow on her face. She even reached up to wipe

nonexistent tears from her eyes.

“Gentlemen…” she began, her tone filled with feigned grief. “Perhaps you haven’t heard yet… I just got the news myself. My cousin–in–law, Sadie… She… She had a car accident on her way back to Jazmah. Her car caught on fire. I’m afraid she didn’t make it.”

Her words fell in the room like a clap of thunder.

Silence fell in the room as the elders stared at her with similar expressions of shock and disbelief. Jonah’s jaw had fallen open. What did Briley say? Sadie had a car accident? But how could that be? The other elders slowly returned to their wits and exchanged looks, but no one could muster a word.

Sadie had been an incredibly capable leader. How was she dead? This was all so sudden!

When the elders finally processed the news, the room erupted into chaos all at once.

“What do we do now?”

“With Sadie gone, what will happen to the Wall Group now?”

“The company’s fate depended entirely on her!”

“Everything we’ve worked for… Is it all going to fall apart now?”

The elders collectively spiraled into a panic, their lined faces tight with worry and fear.

Briley watched the chaos in smug satisfaction. It was almost time.

Making sure that her mournful expression was still in place, she cleared her throat.

“Gentlemen, please calm down,” she called out in a raised voice. “I know this may seem like the wrong time to say this, but we all know that a family like ours needs a leader to move forward. Likewise, the Wall Group cannot afford to be without a chairperson for even a single day.”

Briley paused and swept a glance over the room. “I know I’ve made mistakes in the past. I understand that some of you have a poor opinion of me. But I have reflected on my errors and learned from them.”

She paused again, this time to lower her head in a show of remorse. “I know my errors are not to be taken lightly, but the Wall Group is currently facing a massive crisis, and with Sadie’s tragic passing… I feel a responsibility to this family! I shall step up and take the mantle. I will lead the Wall family!”

She lifted her head in a flourish. Her tone was firm, her gaze filled with determination
