Chapter 162 Confrontation
Tears rolled down Kyla’s cheeks.
Isabel stopped in her tracks, gesturing toward the door as she yelled, “That shameless bitch! She’s a complete seductress! I
knew she was up to no good with Noah!”
Kyla gently took hold of Isabel’s sleeve and whispered, “Please, don’t be upset. It’s not worth it.”
Angrily, Isabel jerked her hand away, asking, “How can I not be upset? Sadie has tricked Noah, and she even…”
Overcome with anger, Isabel found herself unable to complete her thoughts, her cheeks tinged with the color of fury.
Quick to offer solace, Kyla supported Isabel with a gentle touch on her back, placating her. “Please calm down. We don’t have all the details yet. Perhaps there’s been some mistake.”
Rejecting the comfort, Isabel shoved Kyla’s hand away, retorting, “A mistake? She has a child with her! How could that be
a mistake?”
The force of Isabel’s push made Kyla falter, fresh tears gathering in her eyes.
Bowing her head, she murmured softly, “Don’t worry. It might merely be a coincidence.”
With a dismissive laugh, Isabel replied, “A coincidence? Are we really to believe that such coincidences exist? Sadie has
always been a schemer. I figured her out a long time ago!”
Kyla’s response was to quietly press her lips together, choosing silence.
Isabel, noticing Kyla’s vulnerable expression, felt a twinge of compassion. She enveloped Kyla in a warm embrace, rubbing
her back gently as she said, “Could this be the reason why Noah didn’t come with you? Don’t worry. You have my full
support, Kyla.”
A slight smirk passed fleetingly across Kyla’s face as she leaned into Isabel’s hug.
Taking Kyla’s hand firmly, Isabel led the way with urgency, pulling her along.
Kyla struggled to keep pace with Isabel, her breathing uneven. Despite this, she managed a serene smile and occasionally
said, “Let’s slow down a bit. We wouldn’t want you to trip.”
Isabel seemed deaf to Kyla’s concerns. Visions of Sadie and Alex, with their three–year–old child, fueled her growing rage.
She was eager to confront Noah and demand answers directly.
The sprawling Myrtlewood Estate loomed majestically ahead.
Upon their arrival, the butler, Breck Wagner, immediately approached them with a swift greeting. “Mrs. Wall, Miss Wade,
welcome.”
He was on the verge of calling Noah when he detected the sound of footsteps at the grand entrance.
Noah had returned.

Chapter 162 Confrontation
Dressed in a sharp, dark gray suit that highlighted his lean stature, Noah looked both weary and commanding. Though there was a slight weariness in his eyes, he retained an air of authority.
Isabel’s temper reached its peak when she saw him. Abruptly releasing Kyla’s hand, she marched straight to Noah, her voice filled with accusation as she said, “Noah! You need to explain now! What is this mess with Sadie all about?”
Noah’s brow furrowed in confusion. He was taken aback by both Isabel’s tone and her unexpected question. “Mom, why are you so upset? What happened?”
Isabel’s sneer was sharp as she retorted, “You’re asking what happened? Tell me, Noah, did Sadie cheat on you and have a child with Alex?”
Noah’s face hardened, and his eyes narrowed. “What nonsense
are you talking about?”
At that moment, Kyla moved closer to Isabel, pulling at her sleeve and whispering, “Please, try to stay calm, and speak with Noah without being angry.”
Isabel turned to Kyla, her face twisted in distress. After a deep breath, she managed to control her fury and pointing towards Kyla, she turned to Noah. “Take a good look at how great Kyla is. She’s gentle, virtuous, and well–mannered. When do you plan to marry her so we can finally be at peace?”
Noah looked at Kyla briefly, then addressed Isabel. “Mom, let me manage my own affairs.”
Isabel’s temper rose once more. “Let you? And how well has that worked out for you? Sadie has tricked you! She’s had a child with another man, yet you continue to defend her!”
Noah’s expression darkened, his lips tightly sealed as he chose not to respond.
Tears began to well up in Kyla’s eyes as she whispered, “Please stop fighting. This is all my fault…”
Isabel pulled Kyla into an embrace, shooting a stern look at Noah. “You’ve let me down! I insist you divorce Sadie and marry Kyla immediately!”
The atmosphere in the living room was heavy and oppressive.
“Mom, I’ll handle it. Please, go back and rest.”
Isabel’s anger escalated when she heard his calm response. “What kind of attitude is that? I’m just worried about you, and here you are-”
“Mrs. Wall…” Kyla cut in softly, halting Isabel’s words. “Noah surely has his reasons. Let’s go back now and not make this harder for him.”
