Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79 Friends

In the grandeur of the banquet hall

at the Howe family estate, the shimmering light from the crystal chandelier bathed the room, casting a warm glow over the elegantly dressed guests as they conversed in small clusters.

The hall was teeming with notable personalities from various sectors.

Sadie clutched a glass of champagne, her gaze sweeping across the sea of attendees, her eyes keenly searching for Roy.

At last, her eyes locked onto him; he was seated on a plush sofa in the far corner of the room.

However, the scene before her didn’t match her expectations.

Roy’s face was etched with discontent, his voice tinged with a sharp edge of reproach. “Alex, using my niece to make me come? That’s a bold move!”

Across from him, Alex lounged with deceptive ease, his smile unwavering as he dismissed the tension in Roy’s voice. “I had no choice. You’re a hard man to reach, Roy, and I had to make sure you’d attend. There’s someone here who’s eager to collaborate with you. Allow me to introduce you.”

A heavy weight settled in Sadie’s chest as she registered the sharp edge in Roy’s voice, an ominous premonition blooming within her.

She opened her mouth to clarify, but Alex was quicker.

“We’re close friends,” Alex said smoothly, his smile easy and demeanor untroubled as if he were discussing the weather. “If there’s one thing about Sadie, it’s that she delivers. Her business proposals speak for themselves. Mr. Dominguez, I assure you, listening to her pitch would be worth your time.”

His voice carried a barely detectable note of protectiveness, and his eyes flickered to Sadie with a fleeting look of concern.

Roy’s attention snapped back to Alex, his expression hardening. “You’ve gone to such lengths–hosting a banquet, even
