Chapter 114 Rekindling Old
Flames
Meeting? Another meeting!
Kyla felt like she was on the verge of exploding with frustration. She managed to maintain a composed facade, but her nails dug deeply into her palms.
“I understand,” she said, forcing a smile that more closely resembled a grimace.
The car sped along. When Kyla returned to her villa, she was wearing a stormy expression.
She tossed her bag onto the sofa with a huff. A servant approached cautiously and asked, “Miss Wade, should I prepare dinner?”
“No need!” Kyla snapped, making the servant flinch.
Just then, a man in a black suit entered and respectfully handed her a document. “Miss Wade, here is the information you
requested.”
Kyla snatched the document and quickly skimmed it. Her eyes widened in shock at one particular line, her hand trembling as she pointed at it. “A child?! She actually has a child with her?!”
“Yes, Miss Wade. According to our investigation, Sadie disappeared more than three years ago and only recently returned, accompanied by a boy about three years old,” the man explained calmly.
Kyla stood abruptly, pacing the room as her high heels echoed against the floor, each step pounding like a drumbeat in her
chest.
“Three years ago…” she muttered, remembering Sadie’s odd behaviors back then, her expression growing darker. “Could it be that Sadie didn’t lose her baby at that time?!”
She stopped, a fierce determination in her eyes. “She came back with the child to win Noah back! I can’t let her succeed!”
Jealousy flared within her, nearly overwhelming. She grabbed the car keys from the table and said icily, “Get the car ready!”
Determined to confront Sadie immediately, Kyla arrived at the faculty housing and took a deep breath to calm herself before entering the building with poised steps.
Inside, the soft, dim lighting of the hallway cast a warm glow on Sadie, who was holding the sleeping Averi and murmuring gently to him. She had hoped for a peaceful night, but Kyla’s unexpected visit disrupted that.
Not wanting to worry Laura and Averi, Sadie whispered to Carol, “Carol, please take Averi and my grandma back. I’ll handle
this.”
Carol gave Sadie a worried look but nodded; she gently carried Averi and assisted Laura back into the apartment.
Sadie turned to face Kyla, who regarded her with a mocking smile. After three years, Kyla still radiated glamour but now

carried a more assertive air, stripped of her previous innocence.
“Well, if it isn’t the great designer Sadie? I thought you were dead!” Kyla said, her arms crossed and her voice dripping with
sarcasm.
Sadie responded with a faint smile, her voice steady, “Sorry to disappoint you, Miss Wade. I’m very much alive.”
Three years had changed much. Gone was the timid Sadie of the past. Now, she stood with firm confidence, her gaze steady.
Kyla felt a twinge of unease seeing Sadie’s transformation.
Was this really the same Sadie she once manipulated so easily? The woman before her now was composed and unflinching her eyes reflecting a depth Kyla found unnerving
However, Kyla’s unease quickly morphed into smug superiority.
Sadie dropped her calm facade, her eyes turning icy as she looked into Kyla’s eyes. “It’s quite late. Why are you here?”
Kyla replied, “I saw you at the hospital today and thought I’d drop by. Didn’t expect you’d have a child with you…”
