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

Chapter 880:

Two chairmen? Shock rippled through the room. The very idea defied traditional structure.

Sadie stared at Noah, genuinely stunned.

Rodger fell into silent contemplation upon hearing Noah’s proposal. At first, the idea had seemed absurd—but the more he considered it, the more appealing it became.noveldrama

Jarrett had a long-standing presence within the company. His experience, reputation, and internal support made him a pillar of the Higgins Group. Installing Nathan as co-chairman wouldn’t truly threaten that foundation. With Nathan holding a title, Sadie would be placated, and the Wall Group’s cooperation secured.

Meanwhile, the real control would remain in Jarrett’s hands. Better yet, Jarrett’s involvement with Wall Group projects would only further solidify his standing.

The deeper Rodger thought, the more advantageous the arrangement appeared. He turned toward Jarrett, and the two exchanged a subtle glance—wordless but full of mutual understanding.

Then, with renewed warmth, Rodger faced Sadie once more. His smile had returned, smoother and brighter than ever.

“Ms. Hudson, I must say—Mr. Noel’s proposal is truly a wise one. Let’s proceed with his suggestion. Nathan and Jarrett will jointly serve as chairmen of the Higgins Group.”

“Group. As for the collaboration with the Wall Group, rest assured—we’ll commit every resource necessary to meet your expectations.” The shift in Rodger’s tone was almost startling.

Moments ago, he had been cautious and resistant. Now he was enthusiastic, practically eager for Sadie’s approval.

Sadie’s lips curled faintly—not in amusement, but in quiet contempt. Rodger was a businessman to the core: opportunistic and transparent. The moment profit was within reach, his entire demeanor changed in the blink of an eye. Still, she had gotten what she came for. There was nothing left to object to. But even as she accepted the outcome, her mind lingered elsewhere—on Noah. What game was he playing?

The butler glided forward with practiced poise.

“Mr. Higgins, ladies and gentlemen, lunch is served,” he announced with quiet authority.

Everyone rose in unison and walked toward the dining room, where a round table gleamed with an array of exquisite dishes.

Rodger beamed as he strode forward, his enthusiasm impossible to contain.

“Ms. Hudson, please take the seat of honor.” He gestured with a flourish. Two ornate armchairs commanded attention side by side at the head of the table.

Sadie settled into her designated chair, accepting Rodger’s direction. Nathan approached with barely concealed satisfaction, poised to claim the prestigious spot beside her.

Without warning, a shadow slipped between them.
