Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 194

Chapter 194 Taken Away

Sadie lingered by the champagne tower, clutching a glass of champagne without drinking.

Leanna navigated through the crowd to approach her.

“Sadie, why are you standing here all by yourself? I’ve been searching for you everywhere,” Leanna said in a warm,

concerned voice.

Looking up, Sadie managed a strained smile. “I’ve just been dealing with some personal issues. I didn’t mean to cause you

concern.”

Leanna touched Sadie’s hand reassuringly. “I’m aware of the challenges you’ve faced lately.”

Sadie cast her eyes downward, choosing to stay quiet.

With a sigh, Leanna retrieved a business card from her stylish handbag and handed it to Sadie.

“An old friend of mine recently returned from overseas. She’s with a company even more renowned than the Lawrence Group. It might be a good move to secure a deal with them if you’re looking to make a significant impact.”

Sadie accepted the card from Leanna.

With a grave expression, Leanna said, “Sadie, your talent is truly exceptional. All you need is the right opportunity. Remember, chances like this are rare–make sure you seize it.”

Sadie gave a nod. “Thank you, Mrs. Lawrence. I will give it some serious thought.”

Relief washed over Leanna, her eyes softening with a gentle smile. “Don’t linger here on your own. Go have some fun.”

As Sadie held the card, she admired the elegant script that read, “Eva Shaw, Stonemont Estate.”

Renowned for its exclusivity, Stonemont Estate sat on the city’s outskirts, and Eva Shaw was known worldwide as a savvy investor. Sadie was familiar with her impressive reputation.

Sadie carefully placed the card in her pocket.

Contrastingly, the mood was starkly different in Kyla’s apartment.

She restlessly walked back and forth, frustration clear in her movements.

The idea of turning herself in seemed utterly ridiculous to her.

Her slender fingers gripped the phone tightly, her manicured nails nearly digging into her flesh.

The silence was shattered by a sudden knock.

Kyla halted, steadying herself to project calmness.

Approaching the door, she glanced through the peephole and spotted two police officers. Her heart dropped, a wave of cold dread washing over her.

With a forced smile, she swung the door open. “Officers, how can I assist you today?”

“Miss Wade, we need to discuss a matter with you. Your cooperation would be appreciated,” said one officer, his voice carrying a blend of seriousness and formality.

Kyla’s smile wavered as she stepped aside, welcoming them into her home. “Absolutely. Please, come inside.”

As the officers stepped inside, Kyla closed the door, battling the surge of panic within. She elegantly proceeded to the living room and gestured towards the sofa, inviting the officers to sit.

“How may I be of assistance, officers?”

One officer presented his badge, holding it steadily before her. “We’ve received allegations of your involvement in the theft of a Cardilla Pink Diamond. We require your assistance with the ongoing investigation.”

Kyla’s polite smile solidified into a mask of shock. Her eyes widened as she looked at him incredulously. “Theft? That’s utterly ridiculous! Surely, there’s been some error!” she said.

“Miss Wade, we ask for your cooperation as we proceed with our inquiries,” the officer said firmly, allowing no room for

debate.

Kyla clenched her fists, knowing that resisting would be futile at this point.

“I agree to cooperate.”
