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

Chapter 959:

Something sinister undoubtedly lurked beneath the surface of these events. What truth lay hidden behind the facade of normalcy in Beversea?

The butler stepped into the room. His footsteps were light, his expression wary.

“Mr. Noel, Ms. Burgess is at the door. She insists on seeing you.”

Noah paused, his brows furrowing beneath his mask. A trace of impatience flickered in his eyes, but it was gone in the next second.

“Send her away,” he said in a voice that brooked no argument.noveldrama

The butler’s chest tightened from the pressure. He was just about to leave and deliver Noah’s response when they overheard Hailey’s shouts from outside. They were slightly muffled at first, but they were definitely getting louder.

“Let me in! I am his wife! You have no right to stop me! Let go! I said, let me in, right this instant!” Hailey continued to yell.

Noah’s expression darkened. He might have been too lenient with this woman; it had emboldened her somehow.

The butler bowed his head in fright, not daring to even breathe. Noah cast a cold glance toward Jack, who stood waiting nearby. The latter gave a small nod of understanding and strode outside.

Right at the villa’s entrance, Hailey was berating a team of tall, black-clad bodyguards that blocked her path.

Her face was flushed with indignation as she repeatedly tried and failed to shove them out of her way. She was desperately trying to force her way inside.

“Let me go! I’m Patrick Noel’s wife! How dare you stop me?”

Jack approached, his face devoid of any emotion. “Ms. Burgess, I’m afraid Mr. Noel doesn’t want to see you. I must ask you to leave immediately. If you keep this up, it will only result in something unpleasant for all of us.”

Hailey froze. When she saw that it was Jack, her arrogance melted away.

Jack was Noah’s most trusted confidant, and his words were as good as Noah’s.

Her eyes welled up with tears. “Jack, please, it’s been so long since I last saw him. I miss him so much. Please, just this once. Please let me see him just once!” Hailey looked up at Jack with pleading eyes, hoping against hope that her tears would sway him.

But Jack was unmoved. If anything, his gaze seemed to have grown colder.

Indeed, Jack had long seen through Hailey’s facade and was now familiar with her manipulative tactics. He nodded at the bodyguards before giving them a new instruction. “Escort Ms. Burgess out of the property.”

The men wasted no time. Two of them immediately stepped forward and grabbed Hailey by the arms.

“No! Let go of me!” Hailey flailed and tried to break free from their hold, but the bodyguards showed no mercy.
