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

Chapter 737:

The footage clearly showed Coyle being dragged from the Howe family’s residence and tossed unceremoniously onto the ground. “Coyle attempted to secure a marriage alliance by using Briley’s pregnancy report. Alex rejected him and had him thrown out.”

Sadie’s eyebrows knitted together thoughtfully. Coyle actually had the audacity to provoke Alex? Clearly, he was desperate now. But… Briley was pregnant?

She frowned. How could this be? Alex was known to be sharp and cautious; how could someone of his caliber fall prey to such petty tricks? The whole affair seemed highly suspicious.

At that moment, Noah appeared quietly beside her. His gaze fell on Sadie’s phone screen, which displayed the message and video that had just been received.

Sadie felt a subtle warmth brush against her senses—the faint scent of cedar and something refreshingly clean and masculine. She tensed slightly, instinctively aware of Noah’s close proximity. A faint shiver raced up her spine.

Noah was standing a little too close for comfort. His gaze lingered on the screen, his eyes narrowing slightly beneath the mask as an almost imperceptible smirk touched his lips.

Coyle’s scheme was certainly bold, but hopelessly wrong. He glanced at the video, a peculiar satisfaction surfacing. Yet, the moment his eyes drifted back to Sadie, his pleasure vanished. Her brow was delicately furrowed, her usually serene face clouded with complicated emotions. She was lost deep in thought.

An uncomfortable tightness crept into Noah’s chest again. He leaned slightly closer, his voice dipping into a playful, teasing murmur near her ear. “Ms. Hudson, don’t tell me you’re feeling jealous?”

Caught off guard, Sadie swiftly tucked the phone away, her cheeks flushing slightly. She lifted her chin to meet his penetrating gaze—eyes sharp even behind his mask—and countered, a faint irritation coloring her voice. “When did prying into others’ personal affairs become a hobby of yours, Mr. Noel?”

Noah raised an amused eyebrow, neither admitting nor denying her accusation. Unwilling to dwell further on such dangerous territory, Sadie decisively changed the subject.

“At this moment, Coyle is cornered by the Burgess Group and desperately seeking a lifeline through New Rise Corporation,” Sadie explained evenly. “It’s no secret that New Rise belongs to the Howe family.” She paused briefly, carefully assessing the situation before continuing. “And now, there’s the sudden news of Briley’s pregnancy, and Briley has actively pursued Alex lately. But based on what I know about Alex, this pregnancy is most likely fabricated. It’s probably just Coyle’s desperate attempt to force an alliance with the Howe family and escape his current crisis.”

Her analysis was calm and precise, but hearing the certainty in her voice regarding Alex, Noah felt an unpleasant sensation creeping into his chest. How was it that she knew another man so intimately?

“Oh?” Noah’s voice lifted slightly, his tone subtly probing. “Do you have that much faith in Alex, Ms. Hudson?”

Surprised by the sudden change in Noah’s tone, Sadie glanced up at him, puzzled. She was merely analyzing facts objectively—how had he turned it into a matter of personal trust?

“I’m simply drawing logical conclusions from the facts at hand,” she clarified calmly, meeting his eyes directly.
