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

Chapter 720:

As long as Sutton managed to secure the deal with the Burgess Group, Coyle would have no reservations about appointing him as the Wall Group’s heir.

That way, the chairman position at the Wall Group would forever belong to his family. Meanwhile, the assistant had just arrived at Sutton’s office and knocked on the door.

“Come in,” Sutton called out from the other side, sounding decidedly impatient.

The assistant entered the room and approached with respectful caution. “Mr. Wall, your father asked me to check on your progress with the Burgess Group.”

Sutton was irritably flipping through documents. When he heard the assistant’s words, his scowl only deepened. His temper was particularly volatile as of late, flaring up at the slightest inconvenience. He slammed the documents he had been reading on the desk.

“I know what I have to do! Stop pestering me about it! It’s annoying!” The assistant was visibly startled, and he shrank back in fright. He was aware that Sutton had been stewing a lot recently, so he kept his head down and tried to make himself as small as possible.

“Please don’t be upset, Mr. Sutton. Your father is only worried about you.”

Sutton snorted and rolled his eyes. “Get out!”

The assistant let out a small sigh of relief before scampering out of the office.

Sutton glared at the closed door, feeling more irate than ever. The Burgess Group couldn’t afford to stir up any trouble, that much he was confident about. He held ample leverage over Hailey, after all. Whatever conditions the Wall Group proposed, the Burgess Group would have no choice but to comply.

Sutton took a deep breath, feeling slightly better. Then he picked up his phone and made a call. “Arrange a meeting with Hailey and Patrick for tonight.”

“Understood, Mr. Wall.”

Hailey’s pulse raced as she discovered that Sutton intended to meet with her and Noah that evening. What if Sutton lost control and exposed the video? Anxiety gnawed at her as she paced restlessly in her room. She couldn’t let him destroy everything she had built.noveldrama

Just then, Noah arrived home. Forcing herself to regain composure, she went to greet him.

“Noah, where have you been?”

Noticing her pale face, Noah narrowed his eyes. “You don’t look well. What’s wrong?”

Hailey’s heart pounded, but she quickly masked it with a reassuring smile. “Nothing. I was just concerned about you.”

Carefully, she probed, “Now that Coyle has taken over Wall Group, how do you plan to manage our collaboration?”

“I’ll handle it. There’s no need to worry,” Noah replied indifferently, brushing past her on his way to the study.

A deep unease settled over Hailey. Something about Sutton’s request didn’t sit right with her. After weighing her options, she chose not to inform Noah about the meeting.

She returned to her room, changed into comfortable attire, and then hesitated before slipping a small firearm into her waistband. Standing before the mirror, she adjusted her outfit and took a steadying breath. No matter what, she had to put an end to Sutton’s threats. She wouldn’t allow anyone to dismantle what she had fought for.

Upon arrival at the Eastwood Manor, Hailey noted the eerie silence—a fitting setting for settling old scores. A cold smirk touched her lips as she stepped into the private suite. Sutton’s expression was dark, his mere presence making her stomach turn, but she greeted him with a pleasant smile. “Mr. Wall, I hope I didn’t keep you waiting too long.”
