?Chapter 134:


    “Absolutely,” K responded with a smile that seemed warm, handing him a ss of water. “Drink this. It’ll calm your nerves.”


    Without hesitation, Ryder epted the ss and drank it down in one steady gulp.


    Unbeknownst to him, K had slipped a deadly, untraceable poison into the water.


    The poison took effect swiftly. Ryder grasped his chest in agony, his face contorting in shock, before he crumpled to the floor in a heap. K watched his convulsing body with a cold, emotionless gaze.


    “Dispose of this,” shemanded her team, her voice void of warmth.


    Her subordinates quickly removed Ryder’s body, erasing all traces of the incident. After adjusting her attire as if nothing had happened, K made her way to Noah.


    “Are you still searching for her?” she asked, entering Noah’s study with a false concernced with hidden intent.


    Noah, haggard and with worry etched into his face, looked up. “K, hello,” he said weakly, overwhelmed by fatigue.


    “Let her go, Noah,” K said, cing aforting hand on his shoulder. “Weren’t you two heading toward a divorce anyway? Maybe it’s for the best if she just disappears.”


    “Enough!” Noah eximed, standing abruptly and shoving K back. His eyes zed with rage. “You don’t understand anything!”


    K staggered from the push, anger shing in her eyes, but she quickly masked it with a hurt expression.


    “Why are you so harsh with me?” she asked, feigning distress. “I’m just worried about you…”


    “Get the fuck out!” Noah shouted, pointing toward the door, his voice thunderous.


    However, K wasn’t easily dismissed. She left the study and hurried to find Isabel.

    Tears streamed down K’s face as she pleaded, “Mrs. Wall, you have to talk to Noah! He’s losing his mind over Sadie!”


    Already predisposed against Sadie, Isabel’s irritation deepened after hearing K’s words.


    “Trouble seems to follow that woman wherever she goes!” Isabel erupted, mming her hand on the table in anger before storming off to find Noah.


    “Sign this, Noah!” She threw the divorce papers at him, her voice firm andmanding. “You’re done with her after this.”


    Noah nced at the divorce papers, a mix of emotions crossing his face, but he remained silent.


    “What are you thinking?” Isabel’s voice grew harsher as she saw his reluctance to sign. “Are you really going to disregard my advice because of her?”


    Noah remained silent, visibly torn by his decision.


    “Just look at what she’s done to you!” Isabel’s words dripped with disappointment as she observed his conflicted demeanor. “You’re letting her destroy you.”


    “Mom, I don’t want to talk about this right now,” Noah murmured, massaging his temples, his voice tired.


    “This needs to be discussed now. Your negligence at work, the past scandals—have you forgotten them all?” Isabel pressed, her voice sharp and filled with disdain for Sadie.


    “Those issues are behind us, Mom,” Noah replied dismissively.


    “Behind us? Do you realize the embarrassment she’s caused the Wall family?” Isabel was furious. “I’ve always said she wasn’t right for you. K is everything Sadie is not—kind, moral, well-educated. How can Sadiepare?”


    “Mom, about K and me…” Noah began, clearly conflicted.


    “You and K belong together. It’s a blessing that Sadie is out of the picture. She was nothing but a hindrance!” Isabel insisted firmly. “Now, sign these papers and marry K. Do it quickly!”
