Chapter 131 Warning
Kyla had only intended for Byrum to undermine Sadie. Who could have imagined it would end his life!
“That’s good news, actually…” she murmured under her breath, a sinister smile forming on her pale face. “The dead don’t
speak.”
She could not let this incident trace back to her.
Just then, a gentle knock sounded at the office door.
Samuel stood at the entrance, his posture respectful. “Miss Wade, Mr. Wall has requested to see you.”
Kyla felt her chest tighten, but she masked her anxiety with a composed expression.
“Got it,” she replied smoothly, taking a deep breath to calm her rising panic.
She followed Samuel to Noah’s office, where she immediately noticed him sitting on the sofa, a glass of red wine in hand,
swirling it thoughtfully.
“Noah, you wanted to see me?” she inquired softly, her voice carrying a hint of flirtation as she took a seat beside him.
Noah placed the wine glass down, his intense gaze fixed on her.
“How much do you know about Byrum?” he inquired.
Kyla’s heart skipped a beat, but she maintained a facade of surprise. “Byrum? Who is he? Is something wrong? Don’t
frighten me like that.”
Noah’s expression remained unchanged.
“He’s dead. Hit by a car.”
“What?!” Kyla covered her mouth, feigning shock. “That’s horrible! How could such a thing happen?”
She shivered, simulating distress.
“The police ruled it an accident, but…” Noah paused, his eyes narrowing slightly. “It seems he was trying to contact you
before he died.”
Kyla’s complexion paled, but she struggled to appear composed. “Contact me? I’m not sure why. Maybe because I once helped him secure a job.”
“Is that so?” Noah’s lips twisted into a faint, skeptical smile as he observed her.
Kyla swallowed hard, forcing a smile. “Noah, are you suspecting me? How could I possibly-”
“Kyla.” Noah interrupted her. “I need you to understand that I do not tolerate deception.”
His intense gaze made it difficult for Kyla to maintain her composure, but years of honing her deceitful skills helped her
quickly recover.

Chapter 131 Warning
Tears welled up her eyes reddening as she put on a pitiful look.
“Noah, do you truly suspect me? Byrum and I barely knew each other. How could I possibly…”
Kyla paused, taking a deep breath.
“I know you’re upset because of what happened to Sadie, but… have you forgotten who saved you back then? If not for me,
Her voice faltered, tears spilling over as her tone became more distraught. “I’ve done so much for you, and yet you…”
She covered her face, her shoulders trembling as she cried.
She was gambling that Noah’s sense of guilt and the memories of her past assistance would sway his judgment.
Noah watched her cry, his expression complex, and remained silent.
The room was heavy with tension.
