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

Chapter 951:

Jarrett lifted his gaze at her words, his eyes gleaming like ice.

Ophelia was more impatient than he had initially thought. Still, a pawn was willingly volunteering itself to serve his purpose. He would be a fool to waste this opportunity.

A cunning smile tugged at the corners of his lips. “Oh? What do you have in mind?”

Ophelia leaned in closer.

“It’s simple,” she whispered. “We just need to eliminate Sadie’s baby. It would secure your position in the Higgins family, and I can finally be rid of that wretched thorn in my side.”

The mere thought of Nathan being forever bound to Sadie because of some unborn child was enough to send Ophelia spiraling in a fit of jealousy and hatred.

Jarrett’s smile widened. “You’d do well to remember your current status, Ophelia.” His voice was quiet, but the warning was clear. “If you dare to betray me or try anything behind my back…”

He paused and drew closer, so close that his breath fanned her ear. “I will personally see to an endless suffering for you.”

Ophelia felt a chill run down her spine. Cold sweat beaded at her nape. She had heard some stories, so she was quite familiar with Jarrett’s methods. She had no doubt he meant every word.noveldrama

Her smile was strained, barely masking her fear. “Come on, Jarrett. We…”

—We’re husband and wife. I would never do such a thing.” Even as she said this, Ophelia knew they were but hollow words.

Thankfully, Jarrett didn’t press the matter.

He shifted in his wheelchair and settled into a more comfortable position. “I will have Colin assist you.”

Colin Larson was Jarrett’s most trusted aide, and he was known for the flawless execution of his orders.

“If you need anything, you may go directly to him.”

Ophelia felt a surge of joy and triumph. The fact that Jarrett was willing to get Colin involved meant that he was taking her proposal seriously. It also meant that her chances of success had just increased significantly.

She bobbed her head in earnest. “Got it, Jarrett.”

Now that she had Jarrett’s support, Ophelia was confident that she could make the child disappear without any hardship or consequences. Sadie’s happy days were numbered.

Meanwhile, at Beversea Hospital, Sadie’s complexion was still a little pale as she lay on the hospital bed. She squirmed under the covers, trying to pull herself into a sitting position.

“Ah! Sadie!” Tina had gone out to get lunch, but was so startled by what she saw upon returning to the room that she almost dropped the lunchbox.
