Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret
Chapter 503:
A wave of apprehension washed over Noah.
âMr. Wall⦠Mrs. Wall⦠Somethingâs happened to herâ¦â Samuelâs voice quivered as he struggled to remain composed.
âWhat?â Noahâs voice spiked with disbelief and anger. âWhat did you say? Say that again!â
âMr. Wall, Mrs. Wall was attacked in her studio. Sheâs now unconscious and has been rushed to the hospital for emergency careâ¦â Samuelâs voice faded to a whisper.
The phone slipped from Noahâs grasp and crashed to the floor.
He stood motionless, his mind reeling.
Sadie was attacked? Unconscious? How could that be possible?
Hadnât he assigned bodyguards to protect her in secret? What had they been doing?
Noah was overwhelmed with fury, his chest heaving.
He turned sharply and strode back into the boardroom.
âThe meeting is adjourned!â he announced coldly. âEveryone, stay here.â Without looking back, he exited, leaving the shareholders in a state of confusion.
âWhatâs wrong?â
âWhat happened?â
âNo idea. Iâve never seen Mr. Wall so unsettledâ¦â
âCan he just leave a shareholdersâ meeting? Like this?â
âShh! Just wait here, like he said.â
âAlasâ¦â
The whispers filled the room as the shareholders speculated, but no one dared to say too much.
Noahâs command in Wall Group was unchallenged.
Thus, they sat silently, awaiting his return.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom sliced through the quiet night.
Noah, sitting in the back, exuded an air of tension and menace.
His lips were set in a firm line, his eyes ablaze with both intense anger and palpable concern.
âGive me the full story. What happened?â
Samuel, seated in the passenger seat, wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He turned hesitantly and said, âMr. Wall, the details⦠Iâm not entirely sureâ¦â
âNot sure?â Noahâs voice sharpened as he slammed his hand onto the seat. âYouâre my chief assistant, and you canât get information on something this critical?â
âMr. Wall⦠Iâm⦠Iâm still gathering detailsâ¦â Samuelâs voice faltered, as he nearly broke into tears.
Noahâs fury was unlike anything Samuel had witnessed before.
Usually strict, Noah now seemed like a volcano on the verge of eruption.
âIf you donât have answers by the end of today, be ready to resign.â
âI understand, Mr. Wall. I will find out,â Samuel responded, his voice trembling with the promise.
âWhat about the security detail for Sadie?â Noah asked, his tone slightly controlled yet still intense.
âIt was a lapse by the bodyguards,â Samuel replied cautiously.
âA lapse?â Noahâs eyebrows knitted together tightly. âTheyâre utterly incompetent!â
âGet rid of them all,â Noah said.
âUnderstood, Mr. Wall,â Samuel replied immediately, fully aware of the weight behind Noahâs directive.
