Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 609

Chapter 609 Is That What

You Want

Forest entered the living room and was greeted by the sight of his daughter slumped on the floor, looking utterly devastated.

Her disheveled appearance told him all he needed to know–things had ended badly.

Forest’s brows knitted into a frown.

What a worthless fool Hailey had proven to be! Patrick had even shown up in person, but she still failed to

make him stay.

Forest’s lips curled into a sneer. He let out a derisive snort before walking upstairs without another backward

glance.

Hailey balled her hands into fists, her heart burning with resentment.

Why was this happening to her? She had been by Noah’s side for three whole years! What had Sadie done for him in all that time? Nothing, and yet, he still ran back to that shameless bitch in the end. Noah had almost killed her–all for Sadie’s sake.

Hailey gritted her teeth. She wasn’t about to sit back and do nothing.

But it was far too risky to go after Sadie head–on. Noah had made it painfully clear that he would do anything to protect that woman. If Hailey pushed her luck, she might just end up destroying herself.

No, there had to be another way.

Hailey racked her brains for another option. Then it hit her–perhaps it would be best if Sadie somehow backed

off on her own.

Hailey’s eyes glinted with renewed determination as she gingerly pulled herself off the floor.

She walked over to the full–length mirror and wiped the tears from her face. She needed to be calm and levelheaded. She couldn’t afford to lose.

The shrill ringing of her phone interrupted her musings.

It was Briley. That imbecile.

With an impatient huff, Hailey grabbed her phone and snapped, “What is it now?”

Briley talked in between panicked sobs.

“Hailey! Hailey, you have to help me. Please help me! The people I sent after Sadie–they got caught! They’re in police custody as we speak. They… They will definitely spill everything! I can’t go to jail, Hailey! I don’t want to go to jail! You have to do something!”

Hailey found her sniveling annoying

Again and again, Briley kept proving just how useless she was. It was too late for her to fear the consequences; she should have thought about them before she made a move. Maybe then, she might have succeeded in such a simple task.

Hailey’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

“Oh? So your men got caught… What does that have to do with me, though?”

Her words hit Briley like a ton of bricks. Her crying stopped abruptly, her eyes widening in disbelief.

Was Hailey actually cutting ties with her now? And then what, she was just going to pretend she wasn’t involved at all?

“Hailey!” Briley exploded in indignation. “Don’t forget that it was you who-”

“I did what?” Hailey interrupted, her voice sharp as a cracking whip. Her tone carried a subtle threat when she continued, “You’d better watch what you say, Briley. I haven’t done anything. From the very start, weren’t you the one who hated Sadie the most? You were jealous of her, and you desperately wanted her done. Now that your plans have backfired, did you think you can simply pin the blame on me? Dream on!”

Hailey had foreseen this outcome from a mile away, which was why she had been very careful. She made sure to only use burner phones, and kept the conversations vague on her part. She never left any evidence that might incriminate her.

On the other end of the line, Briley was shaking with fury.

It turned out that Hailey was a vile, conniving snake!

Hailey had been the one whispering in her ear about a future where Sadie no longer stood in her way. Hailey had kept telling her that for as long as Sadie was around, there would be no place for her in the Wall family.

Hailey had been the one to plant the seed, the one to poison the well- and now she was washing her hands clean of the whole scheme?

Briley couldn’t hold herself back from cursing. “You bitch! If I go down, I’ll make sure that you’re going down with me! I will tell the police everything myself! Let’s see how long you last!”

But Hailey was not fazed in the least. She let out a condescending laugh.

Was there no end to Briley’s stupidity? She didn’t seem to understand just who she was dealing with.

“Is that right?” Hailey taunted. “Listen to me, Briley, and use that pea–sized brain of yours for once. If the both of us go down, who do you think will benefit the most? The Wall Group, Noah–Sadie is going to have it all. Once we’re out of the picture, there will be no one left to stop her. Is that what you want?”

Briley fell into stunned silence. Of course, she didn’t want that! Why should Sadie get everything?
