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

Chapter 984:

“Gentlemen, please calm down,” she called out in a raised voice. “I know this may seem like the wrong time to say this, but we all know that a family like ours needs a leader to move forward. Likewise, the Wall Group cannot afford to be without a chairperson for even a single day.”

Briley paused and swept a glance over the room. “I know I’ve made mistakes in the past. I understand that some of you have a poor opinion of me. But I have reflected on my errors and learned from them.” She paused again, this time lowering her head in a show of remorse. “I know my errors are not to be taken lightly, but the Wall Group is currently facing a massive crisis, and with Sadie’s tragic passing… I feel a responsibility to this family! I shall step up and take the mantle. I will lead the Wall family!”

She lifted her head in a flourish. Her tone was firm, her gaze filled with determination.

As soon as she finished her speech, the room fell into yet another unnerving silence. No one spoke, and the glances the elders exchanged this time were filled with doubt.

Briley, the head of the family and the company? That would only spell disaster!

They were all too familiar with her and her family. They had taken a chance on her father before, and Coyle had almost ruined the company. He had lost so much money, and they were still dealing with the consequences of his foolish decisions!

How could Briley expect them to just hand over the Wall Group to her? She might as well tell them to forfeit the company and declare bankruptcy!

No, they weren’t willing to take that risk.

Briley noted the skeptical looks thrown her way and inwardly cursed the stubborn geezers for failing to recognize her potential.

Still, she kept up her act.

“I know what you’re all worried about,” she said earnestly. “But Sadie…”noveldrama

Briley paused again to choke on the sob.

Then she took a deep breath as if to steady herself before posing the question, “Is there anyone else in the Wall family who is more qualified than me?”

It hit the elders like a sudden, harsh slap of reality. Loathe as they were to admit it, Briley was absolutely right.

Noah, Sadie, and Sutton were all dead.

Apart from Briley, no one else was fit to take over the seat of power. The meeting hall gradually fell into silence again, until the only sound that could be heard was the heavy breathing of everyone.

The elders kept darting uneasy glances at each other, unsure of what to do next.

Did they really have to hand over the Wall Group to Briley? Although no one else was more suitable than her, she was far from the ideal candidate.

The elders continued to mull over the matter as the air in the room grew thick and heavy with tension.
