?Chapter 982:


    Ophelia’s heart soared when she heard that. Sadie was finally dead? At longst!


    It was a huge weight lifted off her shoulders. There was no one left to get in her way! The position of Nathan’s wife was now empty, and Ophelia was more than ready to take it. Nathan would finally be hers! That wretched Sadie got what she deserved. It was her karma for stealing Nathan from her!


    “Good job!” Ophelia eximed, unable to contain her excitement. “Book the first flight out of the country and lie low for a while. I will transfer the rest of the payment to your ountter.”


    The bodyguard grinned greedily. “As you wish, Miss. You can count on me. I made sure there are no loose ends.”


    He was pretty chuffed when he hung up. This assignment had been easy money, after all. He hadn’t even lifted a finger!


    He had simply tailed the car as he was instructed. Who could have known that it would catch fire on its own?


    Well, they got what wasing to them!


    He didn’t care about any of that. All that mattered to him was the hefty sum he was getting out of this contract.


    In the dressing room backstage of a prestigious event in Beversea, Briley had just gotten off the phone.


    The call hade from someone she had hired to keep track of Sadie. He had just reported that Sadie was dead. Her car had been burned to a crisp while driving down the highway to Jazmah.


    Briley gripped her phone so tightly that her knuckles turned white. It was all she could do not to break out in triumphantughter.

    Finally! That detestable woman was gone for good! The Wall Group was now hers! She was about to be the head of thepany, and no one would be able to question her eligibility!


    Briley rose to her feet and grabbed her coat.


    Just then, Leonard opened the door and stepped inside, only to pause when he noticed that she was about to leave.


    He hurried over, saying, “The event is about to start. Shouldn’t we wait until it’s over before—”


    He was abruptly cut off by a loud p across his face.


    Briley didn’t bother to mask her arrogance. “What kind of event is this? As the future CEO of the Wall Group, why should I waste my time on something so insignificant?”


    She lifted her chin and huffed. “Go get the car. I’m heading back to Wall Manor right this instant. And call all the family elders. Tell them I have an important announcement to make.”


    Leonard could barely keep up with everything—first the p, and now her odd orders.
