Chapter 134

Chapter 134:

“Absolutely,” Kyla responded with a smile that seemed warm, handing him a glass of water. “Drink this. It’ll calm your nerves.”

Without hesitation, Ryder accepted the glass and drank it down in one steady gulp.

Unbeknownst to him, Kyla had slipped a deadly, untraceable poison into the water.

The poison took effect swiftly. Ryder grasped his chest in agony, his face contorting in shock, before he crumpled to the floor in a heap. Kyla watched his convulsing body with a cold, emotionless gaze.

“Dispose of this,” she commanded her team, her voice void of warmth.

Her subordinates quickly removed Ryder’s body, erasing all traces of the incident. After adjusting her attire as if nothing had happened, Kyla made her way to Noah.

“Are you still searching for her?” she asked, entering Noah’s study with a false concern laced with hidden intent.

Noah, haggard and with worry etched into his face, looked up. “Kyla, hello,” he said weakly, overwhelmed by fatigue.

“Let her go, Noah,” Kyla said, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder. “Weren’t you two heading toward a divorce anyway? Maybe it’s for the best if she just disappears.”

“Enough!” Noah exclaimed, standing abruptly and shoving Kyla back. His eyes blazed with rage. “You don’t understand anything!”

Kyla staggered from the push, anger flashing in her eyes, but she quickly masked it with a hurt expression.

“Why are you so harsh with me?” she asked, feigning distress. “I’m just worried about you…”

“Get the fuck out!” Noah shouted, pointing toward the door, his voice thunderous.

However, Kyla wasn’t easily dismissed. She left the study and hurried to find Isabel.

Tears streamed down Kyla’s face as she pleaded, “Mrs. Wall, you have to talk to Noah! He’s losing his mind over Sadie!”

Already predisposed against Sadie, Isabel’s irritation deepened after hearing Kyla’s words.

“Trouble seems to follow that woman wherever she goes!” Isabel erupted, slamming her hand on the table in anger before storming off to find Noah.

“Sign this, Noah!” She threw the divorce papers at him, her voice firm and commanding. “You’re done with her after this.”

Noah glanced at the divorce papers, a mix of emotions crossing his face, but he remained silent.

“What are you thinking?” Isabel’s voice grew harsher as she saw his reluctance to sign. “Are you really going to disregard my advice because of her?”

Noah remained silent, visibly torn by his decision.

“Just look at what she’s done to you!” Isabel’s words dripped with disappointment as she observed his conflicted demeanor. “You’re letting her destroy you.”

“Mom, I don’t want to talk about this right now,” Noah murmured, massaging his temples, his voice tired.

“This needs to be discussed now. Your negligence at work, the past scandals—have you forgotten them all?” Isabel pressed, her voice sharp and filled with disdain for Sadie.

“Those issues are behind us, Mom,” Noah replied dismissively.

“Behind us? Do you realize the embarrassment she’s caused the Wall family?” Isabel was furious. “I’ve always said she wasn’t right for you. Kyla is everything Sadie is not—kind, moral, well-educated. How can Sadie compare?”

“Mom, about Kyla and me…” Noah began, clearly conflicted.

“You and Kyla belong together. It’s a blessing that Sadie is out of the picture. She was nothing but a hindrance!” Isabel insisted firmly. “Now, sign these papers and marry Kyla. Do it quickly!”
