Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 187

Chapter 187 Nothing Remaining For Us

Noah fixed a deep, questioning look on Sadie. “Are you so desperate to get away from me?”

Sadie’s heart missed a beat as she lifted her gaze, her hands clenched. “You are well aware of what occurred three years ago. There is nothing remaining for us.”

Abruptly, the sound of the office door slamming open echoed through the room.

Isabel, radiating elegance and authority, strode in furiously.

Her expertly done makeup did little to hide the anger on her face as she stared down Sadie. “You’re such a seductress! A curse on everyone around you! How dare you appear here? What kind of spell have you cast on Noah?”

Silently, Sadie stood her ground, her expression calm and detached.

She had already become immune to Isabel’s deadly words three years ago.

Now, such remarks merely blended into the background, insignificant and dismissed.

With a subtle suppression of her feelings, Sadie turned to leave.

This action caught Isabel off guard.

How dare Sadie show such audacity!

Three years ago, Sadie had always been timid and submissive around her.

Now, she didn’t even let her finish speaking before she started to walk away!

Isabel’s anger flared, boiling to the surface.

She reached out, aiming to seize Sadie and give her a stern reprimand.

Feeling Isabel’s approach, Sadie hastened her steps.

She had no desire to remain entangled with the Wall family any longer.

As he observed the unfolding drama, Noah’s expression grew tense.

He quickly moved, catching Sadie’s wrist and leading her swiftly out of the office.

Sadie grimaced from the tight grip but offered no resistance.

Any struggle now would only add to her embarrassment.

Isabel was left speechless, watching Noah lead Sadie away. Momentarily, she was too taken aback to respond. “Samuel, make sure my mother gets back to Wall Manor,” Noah instructed without looking back at Isabel.

Isabel, recovering from her initial shock, pointed at Noah’s departing back and yelled, “Noah! Have you lost your senses? Are you really choosing her over your own mother?!”

Noah disregarded Isabel’s furious rant, guiding Sadie firmly towards the elevator.

As the elevator doors closed, Isabel’s shouts were abruptly silenced.

Once inside, Noah released Sadie’s wrist.

She quietly massaged the reddened skin where his grip had been, casting her eyes downward, remaining silent.

The air between them in the elevator grew thick with tension.

Noah’s gaze remained fixed on Sadie, emotions swirling uncertainly in his eyes.

Feeling his stare, Sadie raised her eyes to meet his intense, unreadable look. The depths of his emotions were a mystery to

her.

Her voice was low yet distinct when she spoke. “Thank you, Mr. Wall. I’m merely an outsider. There’s no need to

compromise your relationship with your mother on my behalf.”

A shadow crossed Noah’s face, his mouth set in a firm line, and he remained silent.

The only sound in the elevator was their subdued breathing, adding to the stifling atmosphere.

A surge of bitterness welled up in Sadie’s heart.

She chuckled ruefully to herself.

“I’ll see you at the courthouse at nine tomorrow morning, Mr. Wall.”

Ding-

Slowly, the elevator doors parted, revealing a crack of light.

Sadie didn’t pause; she stepped out of the elevator and continued on her way.

Leaving the premises of Wall Group, she went straight for her studio.

Upon opening the door to the studio, she was immediately taken aback by the scene before her.

The air was alive with floating streamers, and twinkling fairy lights added a festive glow.

The table was laden with an array of fine pastries and bottles of champagne, while her colleagues surrounded it, smiles lighting up their faces.

“Welcome back, Sadie, our queen!” Tina held up her champagne glass, her eyes crinkling with joy.

“Sadie, we’re all so glad you’re safe!”

Caught off guard, Sadie blinked, still trying to grasp the scene unfolding before her.

“What’s all this about…?”

Her gaze swept over her colleagues, marked by a look of bewilderment.

“The Wall Group just transferred the final payment–ten million, no less! It’s more than we initially agreed upon. They included extra for emotional distress and revision fees,” Tina said, approaching with a wide smile.

Hearing the figure, Sadie felt her heart leap. The amount was beyond what she had anticipated.

“Noah…” Sadie muttered under her breath, lost in a whirlwind of emotions.
