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

Chapter 1037:

Sharon hesitated, her expression suggesting careful navigation through the labyrinth of bygone experiences.

“Your parents personally selected me for employment. Their kindness transcended ordinary human decency. Upon discovering my desperate circumstances, they provided a substantial advance payment without hesitation. Those funds literally rescued my child from death’s clutches. My gratitude manifested through unprecedented devotion to my responsibilities. Mrs. Hudson elevated me beyond mere employee status—she embraced me as a confidante. Our connection blossomed into genuine friendship.”

Sadie absorbed each word in contemplative silence, her head inclined slightly downward, fingers unconsciously tracing patterns on her knee. Faron Retreat. The name triggered immediate recognition—a prestigious establishment situated mere miles beyond Jazmah’s boundaries. What compelling motivation could possibly have driven her parents to seek refuge there?

She raised her gaze deliberately, eyes narrowing slightly. “Sharon, throughout your tenure at Faron Retreat, did you observe anything… outside normal patterns or expectations?”

Sharon’s forehead creased deeply, her gaze turning inward as she meticulously excavated memories from the recesses of her mind.

“Anything outside normal patterns or expectations? Throughout my eighteen-month employment period, your parents scarcely ventured beyond the property boundaries—virtually imprisoned by invisible constraints. Additionally, during every supply excursion into town, I encountered individuals loitering suspiciously around peripheral areas. These people bore no resemblance to typical tourists or staff members—merely vigilant observers maintaining a calculated distance, constantly watching.”

She paused meaningfully, leaning forward conspiratorially as her voice dropped to barely above a whisper.

“Then arrived Labor Day that fateful year, when a masked individual appeared without warning. He proceeded directly to your parents’ quarters without deviation and remained for an extended duration. They dispatched me immediately with unusual urgency—explicitly instructed me to maintain significant distance from the premises.”

Sadie’s heart lurched violently against her ribcage, her breath catching painfully. A masked stranger intruding into her parents’ sanctuary?noveldrama

“Approximately seven days following Labor Day…”

Panic washed over Sharon’s face, her voice shaking as she tried to speak. “I was fast asleep that night when Mrs. Hudson burst into my room out of nowhere. She looked like she had seen a ghost—her skin was pale, and she could not stop trembling. She told me to grab my things and get out of Faron Retreat immediately.” Her hands clenched as she recalled the past.
