Chapter 124:

At that moment, Sadie realized she was still bound to him as his wife and reluctantly accepted his arm.

Her face remained unsmiling, her expression laced with sarcasm.

She wondered who he was performing for. Was it Kyla?

Sadie glanced at Kyla.

A flicker of resentment was evident in Kyla’s eyes.

Inwardly, Sadie scoffed.

Lights bathed both Sadie and Noah as guests gathered, praising their apparent harmony.

“Mr. and Mrs. Wall, what a beautiful couple you make!”

“Mrs. Wall, you look marvelous today. That dress is a perfect fit for your style.”

“The love between Mr. and Mrs. Wall is truly something to behold.”

While Sadie heard the flattery, it left her heart untouched.

She was desperate for any reason to escape this overwhelming atmosphere.

“I need to use the restroom,” Sadie said coldly, avoiding Noah’s gaze.

Noah caught her wrist and, smiling enigmatically, suggested, “Let me accompany you.”

Sadie briskly freed her hand, her voice low and tense as she hissed, “Have you lost your mind?”

Noah simply chuckled, casually draping an arm around her waist and steering her toward a quieter area.

“Something’s off with you tonight,” he murmured, his voice carrying a probing undertone. “What are you planning?”

Sadie felt a pang of anxiety but masked it with defiance, retorting, “What do you expect? Should I play the devoted wife? At a celebration, accompanied by both your wife and your lover, are you not worried that people will think you’re playing the field?”

Her voice dripped with sarcasm, and her eyes were cold as she suggested, “Why don’t you spend your time with your dear Kyla instead?”

With those words, Sadie forcefully shoved him aside and made her way to the restroom.

Noah remained rooted to the spot, his face a mask of uncertainty as he watched her depart.

Kyla navigated the crowd effortlessly, her smile enchanting and her conversations with guests light, though her gaze often drifted towards Noah.

When she noticed his stillness, a smirk secretly formed on her face. Kyla realized that Sadie’s attempt to slip away alone was futile and thought she might have to intervene for the fool.

Circling the restroom, Sadie found no windows for a possible escape.

The constant flow of people meant any unusual behavior would quickly draw attention and likely alert Noah.

Feeling trapped, she decided it was best to leave the area for now.

When Sadie emerged, Noah eyed her suspiciously but remained silent. At that moment, Kyla approached, bearing two glasses of champagne, her expression sweet.

But as she reached Sadie, Kyla’s foot seemed to catch on something, sending her lurching forward, and the champagne splashed all over Sadie’s dress.

“Oh no!” Kyla let out a startled cry as she stumbled backward. Sadie fought the urge to roll her eyes. What a pathetic act. But Kyla’s over-the-top performance played right into her hands.

Sadie masked her disdain with feigned shock, glancing down at her champagne-soaked dress, her expression the picture of mild panic.
