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

Chapter 909:noveldrama

“Mr. Higgins, we’re responding to a theft report here at the venue. All apprehended suspects claim Miss Briley Wall orchestrated the plan. We require her cooperation in our inquiry.”

Briley, who had been sitting nearby, visibly enjoying the earlier scandal, was now stunned, her smirk gone.

“This… this has to be a misunderstanding!” she stammered, the blood draining from her face. “I never told anyone to take anything! I’m being framed!”

The reporters wasted no time. Flashbulbs erupted as they surged toward Briley, capturing every second.

No one had foreseen the scandals that would thunder through today’s wedding. First came the woman claiming she carried the groom’s child. Before the shock could settle, Briley—beloved by the screen and darling of millions—was being confronted by police officers, their tones grave as they accused her of masterminding a theft.

By tomorrow morning, every newspaper column and gossip blog would be ablaze with the ruins of this event.

And yet, at a table pushed to the far edge of the hall, Noah rose calmly and took Sadie’s hand in his.

Wordlessly, she stood beside him, matching his pace as they turned and began to walk away. Neither flinched. Neither looked back. It was as though the chaos belonged to an entirely different world.

Just then, Briley’s gaze swept across the hall and landed on the departing pair. Something clicked. Recognition flared. Her face drained of color.

“Sadie!” she shrieked, her voice breaking into raw hysteria. “You planned this! You set me up!”

She lunged forward, desperate to tear through the officers holding her, but they were unyielding. She stood powerless, eyes locked on Sadie and Noah as they disappeared through the exit, never once sparing her a glance.

Briley’s shrieks echoed through the hall, her body writhing in protest, but the officers offered no mercy—hauling her out of the wedding hall.

Just then, Noah swiftly ushered Sadie out of the banquet hall and into the sleek vehicle waiting by the roadside.

Her expression shifted to one of mild confusion, her forehead creasing. “We’re just taking off like this?” she asked, still processing the chaos they’d left behind. The timing felt premature.

Noah tilted his head slightly, a faint smirk forming as he leaned closer. His breath ghosted past her ear, and a warm flush crept up her neck.

“Still want to see the show?” he murmured.

A charged pause followed, tension crackling in the confined space. Sadie’s face grew warmer, and she instinctively pushed Noah back, a little too abruptly. He went along with it, reclining against the seat with an amused air.

Clearing her throat, she struggled to regain her composure.
