Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 604

Chapter 604 Truly Alive

And Well

Averi wasted no time. He raced to the door, his arms already reaching for his mother.

Sadie stood in the doorway, her figure silhouetted by the light from outside. She bent and opened her arms wide to catch Averi just as he threw himself into her embrace.

Sadie picked him up and held him close. Then she slowly made her way into the center of the room, her demeanor calm and graceful as ever.

A faint smile tugged at the corners of her lips, but her eyes were steady and serene,

She didn’t look at all like someone who had just survived a deadly accident.

Briley was rooted to the spot, her eyes wide with disbelief. She could practically feel the color drain from her face. Was she seeing a ghost?

No… But how could this be? How was Sadie still alive?

Hadn’t Ophelia said that Sadie had died in the car accident? Liar! That woman had lied to her!

Sadie was unbothered by stares she was getting, but she did pause in front of Bailey.

She took a brief moment to take in Briley’s reaction, then she smiled and said in a gentle tone, “My flight got delayed. How did the rumors turn into me suddenly dying in a car accident?”

Sadie tilted her head to the side, her eyes still fixed on Briley. Although her smile deepened, her tone became icy. “You’re not wishing for my demise, are you, Briley?”

Briley’s face went through a range of expressions, from shock to anger, then embarrassment, and eventually, dread. She opened her mouth, and her throat worked, but no words came out.

No, this was impossible! Sadie was truly alive and well!

Her little speech from earlier seemed so absurd in hindsight. She had gone ahead and humiliated herself in front of the family elders!

Jonah was the first among the old men to compose himself. His previously clouded eyes lit up with relief.

This was wonderful, indeed! Sadie was still alive! That meant a continued stability for the Wall Group, and he and his fellow elders could continue reaping the benefits without worry.

Sadie was the only one capable enough to lead the company.

Jonah then turned his attention to Briley, who was still having a hard time processing the unexpected turn of

events.

Chapter 604 Truly Alve And Wall

His eyes narrowed, and his upper lip curled in disdain. What a useless troublemaker! To think that she had dragged everyone out here in the middle of the night for some pathetic show of power, only for it all to be a

sham

The brat was utterly incorrigible! The elders needed all the rest they could get, yet Briley had disrupted their

slumber for no real reason!

The more Jonah thought about it, the more furious he became. He slammed his cane against the floor. “Briley!” he roared. “You have inconvenienced everyone, rousing us at such an ungodly hour and causing unnecessary panic and sorrow! To repent for your thoughtless actions, you shall kneel here and reflect for the rest of the night!”

Briley felt an acrid taste on her tongue. She was supposed to kneel in the hall for everyone to see? It was a fate

worse than death!

But Jonah’s word was as good as law, and the other elders were already looking at her expectantly. She had no

way out of this.

Despite the resentment that bubbled in her chest, she forced a smile and spoke through gritted teeth. “I

understand. I am very sorry. I was wrong. ”

Swallowing her pride, she slowly sank to her knees. The cold, hard floor had her legs aching immediately, but the pain was nothing compared to the suffering of her ego.
