Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 560

Chapter 560 Going To Great Lengths

Ophelia’s expression took on a drastic change.

What was Sadie implying?

The Johnson family might hold some standing in Beversea, but matching the Wall family’s power and influence was nothing short of delusional.

Ophelia’s lips curled in displeasure. Her hands shook in anger, and her throat worked as she struggled to find the words to say.

Noah, who had been watching in silence the whole time, suddenly stood up.

His looming figure towered over the women, the patience in his voice obvious when he said, “Why is it so noisy around here? It’s so early in the day, and some insect is already buzzing around, ruining the morning’s calm.”

He didn’t have to be specific–everyone present knew he was referring to Ophelia.

Ophelia’s face flushed in embarrassment, but Noah didn’t even spare her a glance.

Instead, he nodded toward Sadie and spoke as if they were close. “It looks like the air around here isn’t so good, Ms. Hudson. Why don’t we move somewhere else to finish our breakfast?”

Sadie had no desire to deal with Ophelia for a second longer–even looking at her was grating on her nerves–so she nodded without hesitation. “Sure.”

With that, she followed Noah out of the dining hall.

Tina acted quickly, picking up the invitation from the table before hurrying after the two.

In the blink of an eye, Ophelia was left alone, just standing there.

Her hands clenched into fists at her sides as she gnashed her teeth together and seethed.

Sadie, that bitch!

Ophelia swore to herself that she would never let that wretched woman off. Never!

Meanwhile, Sadie and Noah walked into the elevator one after the other.

Sadie instinctively stepped to the side to put some distance between them. In such a confined space, his familiar scent stirred some unease within her.

Noah, on the other hand, acted like he wasn’t aware of what she was doing.

He drew closer to her, and closer still, until he was practically pressed against her, trapping her in the corner.

Sadie looked up and scowled at him, her gaze indignant and wary at the same time. “Do you need something, Mr. Noel?”

Noah took a moment to gaze at her. Most of his face was hidden under his silver mask, and only his deep eyes were visible.

She could tell he was smiling by the way they crinkled in the corners.

“Aren’t you hungry? Where would you like to eat, Ms. Hudson?”

Sadie’s eyes narrowed.

Hadn’t he said that he had lost his wallet? Why was he asking her where she wanted to eat now?

What on earth was this man up to?

Noah bristled under her sharp gaze. Then he realized why she was practically glaring at him, and he chuckled softly.

“I’ll take you there, but you’ll pay the bill. We both make some contributions. Isn’t it a good idea?”

Sadie was rendered speechless by his utter lack of shame.

This time, she glared at him outright. “I don’t feel like eating anymore. If you’re hungry, Mr. Noel, feel free to enjoy your breakfast alone.”

Thankfully, the elevator doors opened just as she finished speaking.

Sadie walked out without wasting another second.

Noah’s expression clouded as he watched her go.

Then Jack appeared out of nowhere, walking up to him as he emerged from the elevator.

“Were you rejected again, Mr. Noel?” Jack asked.

Noah shot him a menacing glare, causing Jack to shrink back.

He pressed his lips into a thin line, not daring to utter another word.

Noah tugged at his tie, his irritation evident. He thought about the situation for a while, and decided that he couldn’t give up easily.

“Call Nathan. Tell him to invite Sadie out to dinner tonight.”

Jack paused, momentarily surprised by his boss’s order. Then understanding dawned on him. “Yes, I’ll take care of it right

away.”

His boss sure was going to great lengths to win back Ms. Hudson.

Noah stormed back into his room and tossed his suit jacket on the sofa.

His brooding was interrupted by the shrill ringing of his phone.

It was Hailey.

He answered the call, and her sickly sweet and nauseatingly pandering voice came through.

“Where are you, Noah? I haven’t seen you in days. I miss you so much.”

Noah walked to the floor–to–ceiling window, his entire demeanor chilly.
