Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret
Chapter 210:
Meanwhile, Kyla, overcome with fury, slammed her phone down on the desk. She hadnât expected Sadie to challenge her so boldly. Yet Sadieâs defiance unwittingly played into her hands. Knowing Sadie couldnât leave the hospital, Kyla had strategically timed her demand to maximize the pressure, hoping to throw Sadie off balance.
Regaining her composure, Kyla picked up her phone and dialed another number. âHello, Korbin. Proceed with the Timeless Love lawsuit. Use the materials I prepared to sue Sadieâs studio for breach of contract. Claim the drafts are substandard and accuse them of unprofessionalism. I want her reputation destroyed, dragged through the mud.â
She paused, her tone growing even colder. âDo it swiftly and without mercy. I want her to face severe consequences, and quickly.â
The voice on the other end responded with deference, âUnderstood, Miss Wade. Iâll initiate the proceedings immediately.â
Kyla ended the call and turned to her desk, pulling out a folder. She flipped through the pages one by one, a triumphant smile spreading across her face.
Kyla wasnât merely intent on ruining Sadieâs career; she aimed to strip her of everything.
Clutching the documents for the Amberhollow project, Kyla prepared to update Noah.
âNoah, about the Amberhollow projectâ¦â She pushed open the door to the CEOâs office, but her voice faded.
Noah was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, his tall figure silhouetted against the backdrop of light. His back was to her as he issued instructions to Samuel in a low, commanding tone.
âEnsure this is completed promptly. I expect nothing but the most precise results.â
âUnderstood, Mr. Wall,â Samuel responded with deference, then turned to leave. He acknowledged Kyla with a brief nod as he passed her at the doorway.
Kyla paused, her grip on the documents tightening.
The snippets of Samuelâs earlier conversation with Noah echoed in her mind, stirring a wave of dread.
Noah turned and noticed Kyla lingering at the door, his expression shifting to slight confusion.
Kyla masked her anxiety with a forced smile. âNoahââ
Before she could continue, Noah interrupted. âI was just about to call you in.â
He approached his desk, retrieved a file, and handed it to her. âReview the latest proposal for the Amberhollow project.â
As Kyla took the file, her thoughts still lingered on Samuel. Could it be possible? Was Noah contemplating a paternity test?
âKyla, is something wrong?â Noahâs inquiry snapped her back to reality.
âNo, nothing,â she responded quickly, putting on another smile. âIâm just a bit tired.â
Kyla placed the file on the desk. âNoah, I have something to handle. Please excuse me.â
With that, she turned and hurried out of the office, her steps faltering slightly under the weight of her thoughts.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Sadieâs slender fingers clutched her phone tightly, the screen displaying a news article about Wall Group suing her studio.
Theyâve actually gone through with suing my studio⦠Was this all part of their calculated plan?
Just then, Pierre burst through the door, clutching a tablet, urgency marking his voice. âMiss Hudson, bad news! Wall Group has officially filed a lawsuit against our studio, demanding astronomical compensation. Itâs all over the internet.â
Pierreâs face mirrored his concern as he noted Sadieâs pallor, his anxiety intensifying.
Sadie took the tablet from him. âI already know. Thereâs no need to panic. Weâll tackle these challenges as they come.â Pierre paused, taken aback by her calm in the face of crisis.
