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

Chapter 767:

His only son, the sole hope of his family—gone, just like that! He believed everything Briley had said. If they didn’t avenge Sutton’s death, the poor lad would never rest in peace!

Briley finally let up and watched quietly as Coyle processed everything she had told him. She smiled to herself in satisfaction, knowing that she was getting the effect she desired.

Moving on with her plans, she wiped her tears and pretended to comfort Coyle. “Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll avenge Sutton, and you.”

She leaned closer and whispered into her father’s ear. “I’ve already made all the necessary arrangements. Next Monday, at the collaboration banquet of Burgess Group and Wall Group, everyone will witness Sadie’s miserable ending! Once Sadie is dead, the Wall Group will be ours again!”

Coyle’s breathing quickened, and his eyes turned wild and crazed.

Yes, Sadie should pay! This wretched woman deserved a brutal end!

Seeing her father’s reaction, Briley plastered a troubled look on her face. “The problem is, I can’t be sure that the people I hired are reliable. If they fail or leave any evidence behind, the repercussions would be even more disastrous.”noveldrama

She held her breath and waited for Coyle to react. He understood what she was trying to say, of course.

They were going to eliminate Sadie, once and for all, so it had to be a clean hit. They couldn’t afford any loose ends.

But there really wasn’t anything Coyle could do in his current state. He could only entrust their plan to Briley.

He struggled to lift his still-functional hand and pointed a shaking finger at one of the drawers of the bedside cabinet.

“Take…” he started to say, his voice faint and garbled. “Take…”

But it was all Briley needed to hear. She stood and yanked the drawer open.

Inside was an old phone with only one unmarked number in the contact list. Coyle mustered whatever strength he could to rasp out a few more words. “Find… him. Reliable…”

This person was Coyle’s hidden ace, one that he had kept from his earlier years. The man was ruthless and efficient, and above all, he was absolutely trustworthy.

Briley’s heart skipped a beat as she stared at the number. Her plan had worked! She swallowed the joy and triumph she felt and maintained a worried expression.

She clutched the phone against her chest and nodded. “I understand, Dad. You can leave it all to me. I won’t let you down. I will make sure Sadie pays with her life!”

Time slipped by quickly, and before long, Monday arrived.

The prestigious gala celebrating the renewed partnership between Wall Group and Burgess Group unfolded in the grand ballroom of Jazmah’s most luxurious hotel. Crystal chandeliers bathed the hall in golden light, and the room shimmered with elegance.
