Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 262

Chapter 262 Know Where

You Stand

Kyla’s voice grew louder and more agitated, drawing the attention of the employees nearby.

“Please mind your words, Miss Wade,” Samuel said, his expression darkening. “Mr. Wall asked me to relay a message to you.”

Kyla’s head jerked up, and her eyes lit up with hope. “He did? What did he say?”

Samuel took a deep breath and spoke slow. “Mr. Wall said that he hopes you have the good sense to know where you stand.”

The words struck Kyla like a bolt of lightning from the sky. All the color drained from her face, and all her strength seemed

to have left her body, too, as she swayed slightly from side to side.

Where she stood? Was that his way of reminding her that he had chosen Sadie?

No! She refused to accept it!

“Impossible!” she cried. “He can’t treat me like this! After all these years, how can he just cast me aside like this?”

She made another attempt to rush into the office, but Samuel blocked her path. “Miss Wade, please don’t make this any more difficult for the both of us.”

Kyla finally crumpled to the floor. Tears streamed down her face, ruining her previously flawless makeup. She looked utterly defeated.

The employees loitering around began to whisper among themselves as they stared and pointed at her. Their reactions varied from curiosity to pity.

Samuel himself wasn’t sure what to feel upon seeing Kyla in such a state.

“Let me have the secretary take you home, Miss Wade,” he offered.

Instead of responding, Kyla hugged her knees and curled into a trembling mess in the middle of the hallway.

The murmurs around her grew louder.

“Look at Miss Wade, she’s crying so hard.”

“Yeah, she used to have it all, you know. But now…”

“I heard that she and Mr. Wall were childhood sweethearts. They grew up together. Who would have thought-”

“Shh! Keep it down! Don’t let anyone else hear what you’re about to say.”

Their comments cut deep, humiliating Kyla further.

Tina lurked among the crowd, and she had seen everything unfold before her eyes. Needless to say, she was astonished by

this turn of events.

Her colleagues had told her that Kyla was Noah’s

Kyla’s outburst that that wasn’t the case at all.

Samuel turned to the secretary and gestured for her to help Kyla up.

“Please, Miss Wade,” the secretary said cautiously.

Kyla still said nothing, but she allowed herself to be taken away from the top floor.

As soon as she disappeared within the elevator, the busybodies gradually dispersed and returned to their desks.

This included Tina, who immediately grabbed her phone and called Sadie.

“Hey, Sadie! Guess what just happened?” She sounded all too eager to share some fresh gossip.

“What happened?” Sadie said in a weary voice.

“We just saw Kyla bawling her eyes out in front of Mr. Wall’s office. He didn’t even open the door! A secretary had to take her away.” Tina could barely contain her excitement as she recounted the event.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.

“What?” Sadie asked in obvious disbelief.

“She was crying so hard, her foundation turned into mud, and her mascara was running down her cheeks. Oh, oh! And everyone was watching, too! Apparently, Mr. Wall refused to see her and instructed Samuel to tell her to know where she

stands.”

“Know where she stands?” Sadie repeated with growing unease.

“Yes! Then my colleagues started talking about how they always thought Kyla was Mr. Wall’s fiancee. But now…” Tina lowered her voice before continuing, “It looks like Mr. Wall never saw her that way.”

Sadie’s grip tightened around her phone. She couldn’t bring herself to say anything at the moment.

“Sadie, are you still there?” Tina prompted. “Did you hear what I just said?”

“I’m here,” Sadie said, snapping back to the present.

Tina chattered away for a while longer, then they hung up.

Sadie put her phone down and gazed out the window, looking lost and confused.
