Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret

Chapter 1054:

“Hurt?” he murmured, repeating the word over and over in his mind. What did Alex mean by that? Had he hurt Sadie? How was that even possible? What else could there be between them beyond their professional intersections and his forgotten past?

A voice at the back of his head told Noah that whatever Alex was referring to was connected to the memory he had lost. That man knew something.

Apart from that, there was one other thing Noah knew for sure—Alex was a thorn in his side. His blatant possessiveness of Sadie grated on Noah’s nerves.

Jack cautiously removed himself from the corner and spoke up. “Mr. Noel, shall we head back to Autumn Garden Villa now?”

Noah shifted his intense gaze to his poor assistant. “If I recall correctly, the Sanchez Group has ongoing partnerships with Howe Group… Is that right?”

Jack blinked in surprise and did his best to keep up with his boss’s train of thought. The Sanchez Group? That company had always wanted to meet with his boss and establish an alliance with the Burgess Group, but they had been kept at a distance. Why was Noah bringing them up now?

Although puzzled, Jack nodded in confirmation. “Yes, you’re right. Why do you ask, Mr. Noel?”

Noah stood and buttoned up his suit jacket, his silver mask glinting in the cold light. “It seems that Mr. Howe has a lot of time on his hands these days. Let’s give him something to do, shall we?”

Even then, Jack failed to grasp the meaning behind his words. Noah walked out of the cafe in long, decisive strides, while Jack stood in place, still baffled by the situation.

What on earth had just happened? How had Alex managed to irritate his boss?

Give Alex something to do? That didn’t sound like a good thing at all. That night, Sadie hadn’t slept a wink. She had lain awake until the first rays of sunshine streamed through the window. Sharon’s words kept echoing in her head, along with the image of her parents’ simple grave.

Her face was pallid, and dark circles marked her eyes. Yet, her gaze was bright and determined.noveldrama

She had to find out what really happened to her parents all those years ago! She was going to expose the villains lurking in the dark, just like she had vowed to herself.

Sadie gingerly got out of bed, her hand finding purchase on the furniture around her as she tried to walk out of the room. She had barely moved away from the bed when a wave of dizziness hit her.

Her body swayed, and her vision went black. In the next second, Sadie collapsed, falling into a faint. She was exhausted, both physically and mentally, and had finally reached her limit.

About half an hour later, Sharon knocked on the master bedroom door. “Sadie? Breakfast is ready, you can eat now.” She waited for a long while, but received no response.

Sharon soon felt a keen sense of foreboding. Sadie had been so upset last night and probably didn’t get a proper night’s rest. Had something happened to her?
