Chapter 451:

“Sadie, I know you hate me, but—”

“I said, stop talking!” Sadie’s breath grew heavy with rage. “I don’t want to waste any more of my time on you. Please leave. You are not welcome here.”

“What’s wrong, Mommy?” Having heard the commotion, Averi ran over from the living room. He looked up at the adults, his cute little face filled with concern.

“It’s nothing, sweetheart.” Sadie’s voice softened as she mustered a strained smile. “Mommy was just talking to Mr. Wall.”

“Okay,” Averi said slowly, bobbing his head, though he barely understood what was going on.

Noah could only swallow the lump of emotion lodged in his throat.

Noah knew there was no point in arguing further.

“Fine. I’m leaving.” His eyes lingered on Sadie, filled with unspoken emotion. “But remember this—I won’t give up on you.”

With that, he turned on his heel and walked out.

Sadie stood frozen, watching his silhouette disappear. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she could no longer hold them back. They spilled down her cheeks in streams.

She sank to the floor, clutching Averi tightly as sobs racked her body.

“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Averi’s small hands patted her back hesitantly. “Please don’t cry…”

“I’m okay, sweetheart…” Sadie forced a weak smile, trying to steady her voice. But the tears kept falling.

Just then, chaos erupted outside.

“Sadie Hudson, get out here!”

“You home-wrecking witch! You stole my man, and I’ll make sure you regret it!” The night was shattered by angry voices and cruel accusations.

Sadie wiped her face, her expression hardening. She recognized the voice. It was Kyla, cursing.

“Stay here, baby,” she murmured to Averi before rising to her feet and striding toward the door.

Downstairs, Kyla stood with a small crowd, hostility radiating from them.

Sadie’s eyes narrowed. “What do you want, Kyla?”

Kyla scoffed, folding her arms. “What do I want? You really have the nerve to ask that? You shameless snake. How dare you seduce Noah? You need to be taught a lesson.”

Sadie let out a bitter laugh. “Seduce him? Have you lost your mind? Whatever was between Noah and me ended ages ago. Stop making up stories.”

“Ended?” Kyla’s expression twisted with fury.

“Do you think I’d believe that? You can’t stand to see me happy. You want to take everything from me!”

Sadie’s jaw tightened. “Take from you? Kyla, don’t play the victim. You were the one who took everything from me. You even nearly made me lose my grandmother!”

“I did no such thing!” Kyla shot back, her voice rising. “Whatever happened, you brought it on yourself!”

Sadie exhaled sharply. “You know the truth. You just don’t want to admit it.” She stepped forward, her tone unwavering. “This is my last warning, Kyla. Leave now, or deal with the consequences.”

Kyla let out a mocking laugh. “Oh? And what exactly are you going to do? Do you think I’m scared of you? Today, I’ll show you what happens when you cross me.”

With that, her eyes flicked to the group behind her. “Teach her a lesson!” At her command, the crowd surged toward Sadie.

But before they could reach her, a tall figure stepped in front of her, shielding her completely.
