Chapter 214:

Suddenly, the office door burst open with a resounding bang, slicing through the silence.

Noah appeared in the doorway, his expression stormy, resembling a tempest poised to burst.

His gaze locked onto Sadie and Alex, who were seated close on the sofa, their hands almost touching. Noah’s breath caught at the sight.

He marched over, grabbed Sadie by the arm, and pulled her up so forcefully that she cried out in pain.

“How dare you, Sadie?” Noah exclaimed, each word slicing through the air with fury.

Sadie’s face contorted in pain as she pulled her arm away from Noah. “What are you thinking, Noah?” she demanded, her voice cold yet defiant.

Her body was frail, but her stare was resolute, betraying no fear.

Alex stood quickly, positioning himself between Sadie and Noah. “Calm down, Noah. Sadie is unwell,” he said, his voice calm but assertive.

Noah’s sneer was venomous as he glared at Alex. “Back off. This is between her and me.”

He pushed Alex away and drew Sadie back to him, his eyes burning into hers.

“Answer me! Who is Averi’s father?”

Sadie returned his intense gaze without flinching.

Yet, she hesitated briefly. Had Noah done a paternity test?

“What makes you think that I would lie to you? Averi is my child with Alex. Do you have an issue with that?”

The look on Noah’s face turned even more ominous.

He tightened his grip on Sadie’s wrist.

“You need to be honest with me, Sadie! Or else…”

With a scornful scoff, Sadie jerked her arm away from him. “Or else what? We are no longer married, Noah. You don’t get to control my life anymore!”

Shock widened Noah’s eyes.

He seized her wrist once more, forcefully pulling her away from Alex.

“Come with me!”

His voice was cold, carrying an air of finality.

He began to pull her towards the door without waiting for her to reply.

With a powerful tug, Sadie freed her arm, staggering but quickly regaining her balance.

Noah paused, his hand freezing in midair.

It seemed he hadn’t anticipated resistance from Sadie.

Panting, Sadie fought to stabilize her breathing and keep her emotions in check as she tried not to cry.

“You shouldn’t make this harder for yourself,” Noah said with clear warning. “Do you still want to keep your studio?”

Despair gripped Sadie. Her studio was her passion, built with immense effort and dedication. Noah’s threat pierced her deeply. He had the means to ruin her studio without breaking a sweat.

Sadie’s hands clenched tightly, her nails pressing into her palms. Looking Noah in the eyes, she spoke with measured calm. “Do you actually think I’m scared of you, Noah?”

Her voice was low yet resonant, each syllable delivered with undeniable power.

A hush fell over the room, the only sound their quickened breathing. Noah’s eyebrow quirked upwards. “Your precious little studio… Do you honestly believe you can keep it?”

“No matter what, I won’t let you get your way,” she replied, her tone imbued with fierce determination.
