Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 81

Chapter 81 We Cannot Proceed With A Partners…..

Sadie’s fashion designs perfectly matched the latest youth trends.

Roy set aside the folder, meeting Sadie’s eager gaze as he deliberately said, “Your designs are precisely what our company has been looking for.”

A wave of relief washed over Sadie as she smiled broadly. “I appreciate your approval, Mr. Dominguez. I’m eager to

collaborate with you.”

Victory seemed just within her reach.

Rising from his chair, Roy made his way to the door. “However, we cannot proceed with a partnership.”

“May I ask why not?” Sadie was taken aback, her fingertips trembling slightly.

Could Roy still be upset?

She quickly added, “Please accept my apologies. I…”

Roy gestured dismissively, his face showing a trace of resignation. “It’s not about holding grudges. Moreover, I realized I jumped to conclusions about you too quickly.”

He sighed, looking back at Sadie’s earnest yet somewhat pale face.

He explained, “Noah had spoken to me earlier. Any agreement should be discussed directly with him.”

Pausing, he added apologetically, “Attempting to bypass him to work directly with me would be inappropriate.”

Roy exited through the door, his parting words echoing back. “Miss Hudson, I regret this. While your designs are outstanding, we can’t proceed under these conditions.”

As he vanished through the doorway, Sadie watched the door swing shut, her hand unconsciously balling into a fist.

Despair overwhelmed her. She had hoped that her hard work would free her from Noah and secure her independence. Yet,

here she was, still bound by his influence.

What was her next move? Was escape from Noah’s grasp ever possible?

Her hand rested on her belly, protecting the growing life inside her.

Should she fail to leave Noah before the pregnancy became evident, he might never allow the child to be born.

The memory of Noah’s cold expression and harsh words haunted her.

Taking a deep breath, Sadie resolved not to give up.

She had to leave for her unborn child’s sake.

<Chapter 81 We Cannot Proceed With A Partnership

Alex came over, his concern visible. “Sadie, stay calm. I’ll speak with Mr. Dominguez. Given the long–standing relationship

between our families, he might change his mind.”

His voice was gentle and reassuring.

With those words, Alex hurried off, urgency evident in his stride.

Sadie wanted to call out to him, yet the opportunity slipped away.

Amidst the elegantly dressed crowd in the banquet hall, Sadie felt completely out of place.

She turned and walked away.

The night air outside the house was refreshingly cool.

Her phone buzzed; it was Alex calling.

“Sadie, Mr. Dominguez has agreed.” Alex’s voice buzzed with excitement. “He’s set up an independent project for you, one that doesn’t involve Noah’s oversight. What do you think?”

Clutching her phone, Sadie realized this was a more favorable outcome than she had hoped for.
