Chapter 501
Moreover, using such a sudden way of isolating her, pushing her away?
“Finnian Sanders, you can’t treat me like this. It’s not fair.” Noelle Lawrence was furious, her fingers curling into tight fists. She muttered resentfully, “I only confessed my feelings to you. Why do you have to be so cruel?”
She propped her cheek against her hand, tears slipping down her face unbidden.
She remembered Elaine Sanders telling her to move back to her own family’s house. She thought it was only temporary, that once the baby was born and Elaine’s anger faded, she could return to the Sanders family.
Now, she wasn’t so sure. She felt the Sanders family distancing themselves, systematically erasing her from their lives.
The mere thought of that outcome made Noelle’s heart skip a beat.
First, resigning from Aethelstan Biopharma, fading out of the conglomerate’s social circle, and finally, having her ties to the Sanders family completely severed.
“No, no, I won’t accept this. I don’t want this…” Noelle smashed her phone onto the bed like a lunatic and covered her ears with her hands.

She slowly leaned against the wall and slid down to the floor.

Just then, another guest came over to congratulate him.
Dexter stepped out of the crowd and whispered something in Finnian’s ear.
Finnian turned around. At the entrance, Kaia and Silas Sanders had arrived together.
She wore a beige gown that was as understated and elegant as a daisy. Yet, paired with her tall, stunning curves and striking features, it was an absolutely perfect match. The hem of the long dress swept the floor, lightly grazing the polished marble as she walked.

Her long hair was swept up into an elegant updo, revealing her slender neck and a pair of delicate pearl earrings. Everything about her exuded a gentle, radiant complexion. The eyes of everyone in the room were drawn to her involuntarily. A woman so young and exceptionally capable stood there like a beacon of light.
But Kaia’s aura leaned toward cool aloofness. At this moment, she seemed to belong to another world, detached from the lively feast.
Someone immediately approached, smiling and greeting her. Silas picked up a glass of red wine from a passing waiter’s tray and gallantly handed it to Kaia.
