Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 80

Chapter 80 Sadie’s Strategy

Gently pulling on Sadie’s sleeve, Alex whispered urgently, “Sadie, forget it.”

He knew all too well how Roy preferred to handle things–with diplomacy rather than direct conflict.

Yet, Sadie shrugged off his touch, her lips twisting sarcastic What’s the issue? Isn’t business all about using networks

and leveraging connections? Don’t tell me you’ve never leveraged your connections, Mr. Dominguez?”

Despite her casual tone, there was a distinct sharpness to her words that was unmistakable.

Roy paused, his expression deepening into a scowl, his jaw tightening, and his eyes narrowing, teetering on the edge of

anger.

Sweat began to form in Alex’s palms as he clenched his fists tightly.

Without thinking, he moved closer to Sadie, positioning himself as her shield if needed.

Despite the mounting tension, Sadie remained composed and unyielding.

“Were my actions really that unacceptable, Mr. Dominguez? You judge me as if I did something wrong. Is it simply because I’m a woman?” She locked eyes with Roy, her stare intensifying.

“Here we are in the 21st century, and yet a CEO of your stature still believes women advance only through their

associations with men.”

With a soft chuckle, she added, “Isn’t that a bit outdated, Mr. Dominguez?”

Roy’s expression was cold as he responded, “You think you have real talent?”

His tone dripped with disdain, as if all of Sadie’s efforts were a joke to him.

Anticipating such a response, Sadie retrieved a folder from her bag and presented it to Roy. “How can you judge my capabilities without looking at this?”

Her eyes sparkled with defiance. “Or are you worried that you might feel guilty after reading these documents?”

Roy’s squint hardened as he faced Sadie’s confident stance.

He was aware that Sadie was deliberately provoking him.

Walking away would have been the wiser choice.

Yet, fueled by Sadie’s provocations, his anger surged uncontrollably.

The thought of being outsmarted by her was unbearable.

So, despite recognizing her strategy, Roy still responded impulsively, “You’d better hope your skills match your confidence, or you’ll regret it in the end.”

Undeterred, Sadie locked eyes with him, her smile brimming with assurance. “We’ll just have to see what happens.”

Alex soon prepared the lounge for their discussion.

Roy settled into his chair, radiating authority with every move he made.

He casually took the folder from Sadie, ready to criticize its contents.

Sitting opposite him, Sadie remained poised and focused.

She braced herself for a challenging encounter.
