Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 166

Chapter 166 A Backup Plan

Jordyn’s mind was tangled with conflicting thoughts.

Kyla had instructed her to swap the documents, indicating something underhanded was afoot.

Whose paternity test was this?

Kyla’s deep involvement suggested it concerned Noah–she wouldn’t go to such lengths for anyone else.

But how was this paternity test connected to Noah?

Chewing on her lower lip, Jordyn entertained a bold suspicion.

It was always wise to have a backup plan.

She quickly hid the genuine paternity test report in a compartment of her handbag. Then, she put a blank document she had prepared earlier in the file bag.

Once everything was in place, Jordyn pulled out her phone and called Kyla.

“Hello, Kyla. The task is complete,” Jordyn said in a subdued tone, her voice tinged with a hint of anxiety.

On the other end, Kyla’s response was warm with satisfaction. “Excellent. Well done! Your payment will be processed

shortly.”

Jordyn breathed a silent sigh of relief.

“Oh, by the way, Jordyn,” Kyla added after a brief pause, “regarding the design director position at Alice Design Studio I mentioned before, I’ve put in a good word for you. Expect a call for an interview in the next few days.”

Alice Design Studio?

That was a premier firm in the design industry.

Joy surged through Jordyn, and she couldn’t help but smile broadly. “Really? Thank you so much, Kyla! I’m incredibly grateful!”

“There are more opportunities ahead if you keep up the good work,” Kyla concluded before ending the call.

As Jordyn clutched her phone, a subtle smile played on her lips.

Standing by the roadside, she observed the lively flow of traffic, her mind racing with thoughts.

She glanced at the authentic report hidden in her handbag.

This document might just serve as a valuable leverage in the future.

A brisk wind caused Jordyn to shudder.

She pulled her coat tighter around her, flagged down a taxi, and disappeared into the city’s ceaseless traffic.

The following morning at Wall Group, Noah sat behind his expansive desk, his long fingers rhythmically tapping the

surface.

Samuel respectfully placed a document in front of him. “Mr. Wall, here’s the paternity test report you requested.”

Noah picked up the document, his expression tightening as a hint of anticipation flickered in his eyes.

He quickly scanned the paper, his eyes settling on the final conclusion.

No biological connection.

The document slipped from his grasp, landing softly on the polished desk.

Noah’s face clouded over instantly.

He closed his eyes, struggling to contain the surge of emotions within him.

No biological connection…

Was the child truly Alex’s?

The sound of high heels approached, growing louder. Kyla entered, her elegant white suit highlighting her poised figure.

Her lips curled into a controlled smile, her eyes gleaming subtly.

“Noah, I’ve just finalized the proposal for the Amberhollow project…” She stopped mid–sentence as her gaze landed on the

document on the desk.

“Is this… a paternity test report?” She feigned shock, bringing a hand to her mouth, a quick flash of satisfaction in her eyes.

Noah remained silent, his icy stare fixed on her.

Kyla approached the desk, lifted the report, and glanced over it before looking up with a pretense of concern.

“No biological connection?” she murmured. “Noah, what… what does this mean?”

The atmosphere in the office turned icy, time seeming to stand still.

Noah stood abruptly, his movement sending his chair skidding back with a screech.

His face was pale, his lips pressed tightly together.

Kyla’s voice softened, as she feigned concern. “Noah, are you okay?”

Ignoring her, Noah strode towards the office door, his steps resolute.

Samuel hastened after him, his footsteps echoing in the tense silence.

Kyla watched Noah’s departure, a subtle smirk playing at the corners of her mouth.

She gently placed the paternity test report back on the desk.
