Chapter 261 Punishment
“I can’t believe he’s choosing Sadie over me!” Kyla shouted in disbelief.
Silently, the assistant bowed his head, too fearful to make any comment.
Kyla worked to soothe her own nerves.
Meanwhile, within the CEO office of Wall Group, Noah was sitting at his desk, absorbed in a document, with a concerned look knitting his brow.
“Samuel, give me an update,” he said.
Samuel stood before him, beginning, “Mr. Wall, we’ve effectively erased all negative reports about Miss Hudson from the web. Public perception has turned favorable.”
Noah’s eyes flickered with a trace of satisfaction as he responded, “Good.”
Samuel hesitated slightly, then continued, “There’s another issue… It appears the root of these rumors may be connected to
Miss Wade.”
Noah’s head snapped up. “What did you say?”
“Numerous accounts behind the rumors trace back to the assistant of Miss Wade.”
A shadow fell over Noah’s face.
“Kyla…”
His tone was deep, with a dark edge.
Setting aside the document he was reviewing, he clasped his hands together and fixed his gaze on the investigation results
on his computer screen.
“According to our findings, Miss Wade’s assistant was involved, but it’s likely that Miss Wade was the mastermind,” Samuel said, his forehead beading with sweat.
Noah remained quiet, the room heavy with silence, as the air thickened with tension.
“Very well,” Noah eventually said. “Have Kyla oversee the project in Slimron.”
Samuel blinked in surprise.
Slimron? Although the project was important, its location was notoriously challenging and isolated. This looked like a
punishment.
“Mr. Wall, about the project in Slimron…” Samuel began.
Noah’s gaze snapped to him sharply. “What? Is there something wrong with my decision?”
“Absolutely not.” Samuel quickly bowed his head. “I will handle it immediately.”

He refrained from further comment and exited the office promptly.
Noah’s decision was final, and any effort to change his mind seemed pointless.
Back at Kyla’s luxurious home, the tension was clear.
“How can he treat me like this for her sake!” Kyla seethed, her usually impeccable makeup doing little to conceal her rage.
Her assistant stood silently, terrified to utter a word or even breathe too loudly, in case he became the target of her wrath.
“Prepare the car! I need to see him!” Kyla commanded sharply, snatching her purse and heading for the door.
She was determined to confront Noah and demand answers for his decisions.
Upon arrival at the Wall Group headquarters, Kyla wasted no time and headed directly for the CEO’s office.
“Miss Wade, entry is not permitted at this time!” A secretary guarded the office door resolutely.
