Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 616

Chapter 616 We Can’t Afford A Single Misstep

Hailey’s final glimmer of faith dimmed into nothing

She’d mulled over this route before, but Evan had flatly declined to lend a hand.

The man was elusive–always vanishing when needed, offering, cryptic reassurances. He refused to get involved in anything related to Noah ever again.

Now, no one remained who could sustain the mental suppression process that prevented Noah from remembering his past.

While she remained wordless, Forest misread her silence as hesitation and swiftly proposed something even

more extreme.

“Hailey, there is… another path,” he said, lowering his voice, eyes alight with a dangerous sort of enthusiasm. “1 recently caught wind of an unapproved method from abroad. It involves embedding a synthetic memory unit directly into the brain. Allegedly, it can overwrite someone’s entire recollection–replace it with whatever narrative we design.”

Hailey’s gaze jerked upward. She was stunned.

A memory unit? Overwrite someone’s entire recollection? She vaguely recalled hearing whispers of such tech before, but…

“Isn’t that still experimental?” she asked quietly, brows knitting in concern.

“What if something malfunctions? What if there are… lasting effects? What would happen to Noah?”

But Forest only grew more energized, his smile turning grim with dark intent.

“A malfunction would be ideal,” he hissed, leaning closer. “Think about it. If he ends up comatose–or better, doesn’t survive–then you’re his bereaved spouse. And you’re carrying his heir. The elders in the Wall family wouldn’t dare cast you aside. For that child’s sake, they’d back you completely. Eventually, you’d hold the reins of the Wall Group.”

He paused, his expression calculating. “And if it works? Then he’s yours alone. Sadie vanishes from his mind like she never existed. He’ll only see you. At that point, both he and the business are in our pockets. Either way, we win. It’s a high–stakes bet- with nothing but upside.”

Hailey’s pulse thundered in her ears.

As twisted as it sounded, the plan was nearly foolproof. Whichever direction things turned, it would secure her place–and that of her family.,

Still… her stomach twisted. Brain operations weren’t a game. The dangers weren’t theoretical.

Noticing her faltering, Forest grew anxious.

His daughter had everything–charm, intelligence, drive–but always second–guessed at the final stretch.

How was she supposed to pull off something big if she couldn’t make hard calls?
