Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret
Chapter 262:
Isabel rubbed Kylaâs back gently, her voice calm and soothing as she said, âDonât worry. Itâs over. Iâve posted your bail; weâre going home.â
As Kyla stepped out into the cool night, the fresh air seemed to help clear her mind a bit.
Isabelâs eyes, red from crying, landed on her with concern. âKyla, youâve endured so much. Iâve told Noah; heâll be back soon.â
A pang of worry shot through Kyla. She hadnât expected Isabel to involve Noah.
This was troubling. Ever since Sadieâs return, Noah had subtly shown signs of favoring her. If he delved into this incidentâ¦
Kyla feared she might completely lose her place in his heart.
She mustered a weak smile, attempting to appear nonchalant. âIsabel, Iâm okay, really. Maybe we shouldnât bother Noah. Iâd rather not blow this out of proportion.â
Isabel sighed deeply, her frustration evident. âYou silly girl, why do you insist on being so selfless? After what that woman has done, and youâre still concerned about overreacting? Noah deserves to know her true nature!â
Kylaâs gaze flickered, betraying her internal conflict. âIsabel, I just⦠donât want Noah to worry over me.â
Seeing Kylaâs soft-heartedness made Isabelâs heart clench.
She pulled Kyla into a tight embrace, her own anger simmering.
Kyla was too selfless, always considering othersâ benefits, even now. Sadie, on the other hand, was ruthless, willing to do whatever it took to get her way.
When Isabel took Kyla back to Wall Manor, the night had deepened into a quiet stillness.
Kyla sat opposite Isabel, cradling a cup of hot tea, the warmth seeping into her chilled hands.

âKyla, Iâve heard about your dismissal. Donât blame Noah. He tends to make quick decisions in business,â Isabel sighed gently.
Kyla felt a tightness in her chest, her fingers curling into her palms reflexively.
âKyla, Iâve arranged for you to start a new role. Tomorrow, youâll take over a branch office.â
âTake over?â Kyla looked up sharply, a mix of surprise and excitement in her eyes.
âYes,â Isabel affirmed with a nod.
âYou and Noah will eventually get married. Itâs time you learned to be his support, to effectively manage the branch.â
Kylaâs joy was palpable. âThank you, Isabel. I canât thank you enoughâ¦â
Leading a branch office had been her longstanding aspiration.
âKyla, just do your best. I have every confidence in you. Remember, if it hadnât been for your intervention, those frauds would have tricked me!â
Isabel reflected on the past with a sigh.
Kylaâs eyes briefly showed a flicker of guilt, but she quickly masked it with a smile. âIsabel, letâs not dwell on the past. I just did what I should do.â
The next morning, Kyla entered the Wall Group branch office wearing a perfectly tailored champagne-colored suit.
âMiss Wade, good morning!â
The receptionist greeted her with clear respect.
