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

Chapter 845:

“I’m willing to offer an additional ten percent profit to Wall Group.”

Sadie raised an eyebrow. Ten percent was no small amount.

She didn’t know much about the Higgins family in Beversea, but she had heard some rumors here and there.

Nathan, for one, was notorious for his libertine ways.

But the story the public found more interesting was the alleged spat between the brothers, Jarrett and Nathan.

Jarrett was known to be an introvert, and his disability seemed to have only worsened his glum nature. But because he was the elder son, he had been named the family heir.

Nathan, on the other hand, was fit and sociable, but he was always overshadowed by his brother’s position at every turn.noveldrama

No matter what he achieved, he always seemed to fall short of his brother—who was bound to a wheelchair.

Jarrett was wary of Nathan, of course. That much was evident from how the new energy project had been handled.

Jarrett had elected to go about the matter in a roundabout way, using his fiancée’s family to strike a partnership with Wall Group instead of involving Nathan directly.

This way, he was doing the Johnson family a great favor, thereby solidifying the marriage alliance, and at the same time, he was able to keep the lucrative project firmly in his grasp. It was a pretty clever strategy.

Sadie smiled at that thought.

She met Nathan’s eyes, her gaze probing.

“So you deliberately put on a show with Miss Johnson, then, back at Splendor Hotel?”

She had no qualms about being blunt.

It was now clear to her—Nathan had deliberately stalled the contract signing between Wall Group and the Johnson Group with that performance, all while turning Jarrett into a cuckold and humiliating the Johnson family in the process.

Nathan froze, looking like a deer caught in headlights, then he threw his head back and laughed heartily.

“I genuinely admire your mind, Ms. Hudson,” he remarked, his eyes glimmering.

Since things had already come to this, he discarded all pretenses and spoke openly.

“To be honest, talking to someone as discerning as you is very refreshing.”

Nathan’s smile faded slightly, and his expression turned somber as he continued,

“I’m sure you’ve already seen through the little schemes my brother and the Johnson family are playing around you. If you choose to cooperate with me, Wall Group can gain far more than the ten percent I’m offering.”

He drew even closer, his eyes burning with purpose.

“If you help me become the head of the Higgins family, I promise you the Higgins family will become Wall Group’s most steadfast ally. We’ll build a partnership that transcends generations.”
