Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144 A Man Took

Her Away

Sadie took a deep breath, struggling to suppress the anger surging within her.

A sudden wave of heat flushed through her body, her mind becoming foggy. She quickly realized something was off about

the drink she had taken.

“Oh, come on, everyone. Let’s not get so worked up,” Jordyn interjected with a saccharine tone, feigning peacemaking. “We’re all colleagues here. Why make things difficult for Sadie? How about we play a game instead? Loser takes a drink. What do you say?”

Sadie recognized Jordyn’s so–called offer for what it was–a veiled attempt to control the situation with ulterior motives lurking beneath.

All she wanted now was to escape the increasingly oppressive atmosphere of the room. Each moment she stayed, the ordeal grew more unbearable.

Attempting to stand, Sadie felt her body sway unstably.

She gripped the table for support, her strength waning, her head spinning wildly.

The drug in her system was taking effect.

Panic set in, and she knew she needed to leave immediately.

“I… I’m not feeling well. I need to go,” she said, her voice weak and shaky, as she turned towards the door.

“Hey, Sadie, don’t rush off!” One man blocked her path, his gaze unsettling. “The game hasn’t even started yet!”

Unable to tolerate any more, Sadie grabbed a wine bottle from the table and, in a desperate act, smashed it on the man’s

head.

The sound of shattering glass echoed loudly as the man screamed, blood pouring from a wound on his forehead.

Chaos erupted in the room.

After injuring several men, Sadie managed to stumble out of the room.

Jordyn, utterly shocked by Sadie’s drastic response, sat frozen, staring at the bloody scene on the floor, her face pale with disbelief.

She hadn’t expected the normally reserved Sadie to react so violently.

Stumbling out of the karaoke bar, Sadie felt her stomach churn, and her vision blur.

In her hurried escape, her high heels twisted, causing her to fall hard onto the pavement, pain shooting through her knee.

Struggling to rise but overwhelmed by weakness, she could only curl up on the ground, fighting nausea.

<Chapter 144 A Man Took Her Away

With determination, Sadie bit down on her lip, forcing herself to stay conscious.

Then, a warm embrace lifted her up.

The familiar woody scent enveloped her, soothing her frayed nerves.

“Sadie, what happened to you?” Alex’s voice was thick with concern.

As Sadie looked up into Alex’s worried face, the tears she had been fighting back finally broke free. “Alex… they…” She struggled to speak through her sobs.

Alex’s heart clenched at the sight of her distress.

He removed his jacket and gently wrapped it around her shoulders, pulling her close into a protective embrace.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m here,” he said to her softly.

Carefully, he lifted her into his arms and hurried away from the disarray.

Sadie rested her head against his shoulder, feeling dizzy yet immensely comforted by his presence.

Back inside the karaoke bar’s private room, chaos continued.

Shattered bottles, spilled drinks, and the pungent mix of alcohol and blood permeated the air.

Several men held their heads, groaning, their faces drained of color.

“What’s going on here?” Suddenly, Noah’s authoritative voice cut through the tumult as he appeared at the doorway.

He was dressed impeccably in a black suit, his imposing stature commanding immediate attention.

The men looked at one another, uncertainty flickering in their eyes.

Jordyn, attempting to regain composure, stepped forward with a forced calm. Wearing a face of contrived grievance, she began, “Mr. Wall, this was supposed to be just a department gathering. We never anticipated-”

“A gathering?” Noah’s incisive gaze swept over the chaotic scene. “A gathering could turn into this?”

he questioned, gesturing towards the bloodstains splattered across the floor.

Jordyn’s heart raced, but she managed to maintain her composure. “It… it was an accident. Sadie accidentally fell, and then…”

“And then someone took her away?” Noah cut in sharply, his voice icy.

Jordyn hesitated, then quickly nodded. “Yes, a man took her away.”

Noah’s expression grew darker, his eyes narrowing.

He issued a stern directive. “From now on, I don’t want to see any of these individuals in the company.”

“Mr. Wall…”
