Chapter 289 What The Hell

Do You Take Me For

Isabel was paralyzed with fear. All the color drained from her face, and her body went cold.

She could feel the icy chill of the blade against her skin.

“What did you do to my grandmother?” Sadie demanded in a trembling voice, each word bit out through clenched teeth. It

was clear she was barely keeping all the pent–up rage and pain suppressed.

Her voice seemed to pull Isabel back to her senses. A flicker of disbelief appeared in her eyes, and then she was glaring and shouting at Sadie.

“You’re insane! How dare you press a knife against me? You lunatic! You wretched woman! Your grandmother’s situation

has nothing to do with me! It was her own-”

“Shut up!” Sadie snapped, her voice shrill and grating. “Did you have something to do with my grandmother’s heart attack?!”

she questioned.

Tears began to stream down Kylie’s face as Sadie tightened her grip on her hair. She raised her eyes to Noah and pleaded

for help.

“Noah… Save me! Remember, it was me who…” She made sure to choke the words out to evoke Noah’s sympathy.

Noah’s frown was deep as he took in the chaotic scene before him.

To say that he was shocked by Sadie’s recklessness would be a gross understatement, but he could do nothing more than

stare at her in fear and worry.

“Sadie, calm down,” he said slowly, his voice low and steady. “Let Kyla go and put the knife down, okay? We can talk about

this.”

“Talk?!” Sadie snarled before letting out a mocking laugh. “You expect me to talk to the people who tried to murder my

grandmother? What the hell do you take me for?!”

The knife in her hand trembled slightly, a sign that she might cut Isabel at any moment, whether she intended to or not.

“Sadie, listen to me…” Noah held up his hands and took a step toward her, but Sadie’s fiery glare stopped him in his tracks.

“Don’t come any closer!”

The air in the living room was suffocating; everyone’s breathing had turned short and shallow.

Sadie laughed again, just as cold and humorless as before.

She suddenly let Kyla go, only to swing her arm and deliver a resounding slap on Kyla’s face. The sound of flesh hitting flesh was particularly loud in the otherwise silent room.

Caught off–guard, Kyla fell backwards with a scream. She cupped her stinging cheek, her head spinning from the force of

the impact

Noah felt a pang in his heart when he saw Kyla getting hit. His eyes were clouded with a myriad of emotions as he turned

to look back at Sadie.

The pain in his gaze was just another dagger to Sadie’s chest. Even now, after all that had happened, he still cared about

Kyla!

“Noah,” Sadie said, her voice devoid of any warmth or feeling. “you’re still protecting her, huh? What is she to you, really? Your true love? The one you always wanted? What does that make me? A plaything you can use and throw away as you

please?”

“Noah…” Kyla sobbed loudly. “My face hurts so much…”

Noah’s expression was a mix of worry and frustration. “I’m not trying to protect her, Sadie. I just—”

“Just what?” Sadie cut him off. “You just can’t bear to see her hurt? Just don’t want her to get upset? For once, Noah, ask

yourself–did you ever truly care about me?”

Her hand wielding the knife twitched, prompting Isabel to let out a terrified scream. “Ah! No, don’t kill me! Please don’t

kill me!”

“Sadie!” Noah voice grew louder and more urgent, though there was the unmistakable note of warning there, too. “Just calm

down, okay? Let go of the knife!”

Sadie ignored him and turned her attention to Isabel. “My grandmother loves me so much. She’s the only one who cares

about me. Why did you hurt her? Why?!”
