Chapter 245

Chapter 245:

Three years. That was how long this had been left unresolved.

Noah’s expression flickered—just for a second. A shadow of surprise crossed his eyes before his face hardened, his jaw tightening. His voice was laced with something unreadable. “You’re that eager to leave?”

Sadie felt an ironic laugh bubble up inside her. Was he being serious?

He had been the one to propose the divorce in the first place. And now he was acting like this? Did he even realize how contradictory he sounded?

“What’s this, Mr. Wall?” Her tone was laced with quiet amusement. “Are you reluctant to let me go now?”

Noah rose to his feet, his movements slow, deliberate. He stepped toward her, his imposing frame casting a long shadow across the room. Sadie’s breath hitched as her instinct kicked in, and she took a step back.

“What are you doing? Noah, don’t—don’t try anything reckless.”

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 biting 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.
