Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196 The Past

The interrogation room was stifling, the air thick with tension that weighed heavily on Kyla’s shoulders.

Her face was pale, her hands clasped tightly in her lap.

Why hadn’t Isabel arrived yet?

Just as Kyla’s anxiety peaked, the door swung open.

“Kyla!” Isabel’s voice trembled as she quickly closed the distance, enveloping Kyla in a reassuring embrace.

“It’s alright. I’m here now.”

Kyla leaned into Isabel, her tears flowing silently. She bit her lip to stifle a sob.

Isabel rubbed Kyla’s back gently, her voice calm and soothing as she said, “Don’t worry. It’s over. I’ve posted your bail; we’re going home.”

As Kyla stepped out into the cool night, the fresh air seemed to help clear her mind a bit.

Isabel’s eyes, red from crying, landed on her with concern. “Kyla, you’ve endured so much. I’ve told Noah; he’ll be back

soon.”

A pang of worry shot through Kyla. She hadn’t expected Isabel to involve Noah.

This was troubling. Ever since Sadie’s return, Noah had subtly shown signs of favoring her. If he delved into this incident

Kyla feared she might completely lose her place in his heart.

She mustered a weak smile, attempting to appear nonchalant. “Isabel, I’m okay, really… Maybe we shouldn’t bother Noah. I’d rather not blow this out of proportion.”

Isabel sighed deeply, her frustration evident. “You silly girl, why do you insist on being so selfless? After what that woman has done, and you’re still concerned about overreacting? Noah deserves to know her true nature!”

Kyla’s gaze flickered, betraying her internal conflict. “Isabel, I just… don’t want Noah to worry over me.”

Seeing Kyla’s soft–heartedness made Isabel’s heart clench.

She pulled Kyla into a tight embrace, her own anger simmering.

Kyla was too selfless, always considering others‘ benefits, even now. Sadie, on the other hand, was ruthless, willing to do

whatever it took to get her way.

When Isabel took Kyla back to Wall Manor, the night had deepened into a quiet stillness.

Kyla sat opposite Isabel, cradling a cup of hot tea, the warmth seeping into her chilled hands.

“Kyla, I’ve heard about your dismissal. Don’t blame Noah. He tends to make quick decisions in business.” Isabel sighed

Kyla felt a tightness in her chest, her fingers curling into her palms reflexively.

“Kyla, I’ve arranged for you to start a new role. Tomorrow, you’ll take over a branch office.”

“Take over?” Kyla looked up sharply, a mix of surprise and excitement in her eyes.

“Yes.” Isabel affirmed with a nod.

“You and Noah will eventually get married. It’s time you learned to be his support, to effectively manage the branch.”

Kyla’s joy was palpable. “Thank you, Isabel. I can’t thank you enough…”

Leading a branch office had been her longstanding aspiration.

“Kyla, just do your best. I have every confidence in you. Remember, if it hadn’t been for your intervention, those frauds I would have tricked me!”

Isabel reflected on the past with a sigh.

Kyla’s eyes briefly showed a flicker of guilt, but she quickly masked it with a smile. “Isabel, let’s not dwell on the past. I just did what I should do.”

The next morning, Kyla entered the Wall Group branch office wearing a perfectly tailored champagne–colored suit.

“Miss Wade, good morning!”

The receptionist greeted her with clear respect.

Kyla nodded slightly, enjoying the spotlight.

As she moved through the office, each employee she passed acknowledged her with a nod or a bow, their voices carrying a

tone of respect.

“Good morning, Miss Wade!”

“Hello, Miss Wade!”

“Welcome, Miss Wade!”

The chorus of greetings bolstered Kyla’s self–esteem, and with each step, her satisfaction grew.

It was evident that Isabel’s endorsement had circulated through the office.

With her posture straightened, Kyla walked with increased confidence.

Upon reaching the marketing department, she found the spacious and bright office buzzing with activity.

“Miss Wade!” The marketing department manager greeted her with considerable respect. “What brings you here today?”

“I’m just taking a look around.” Kyla’s response was cool, her posture composed.

Her eyes swept across the office, pausing on a document on one of the desks.

“What’s this?”
