?Chapter 236:


    Shock flickered across K’s face, quickly giving way to sudden anger.


    Her fingers clenched around the phone, her knuckles whitening with the force.


    Overwhelmed with anger, K punched in Samuel’s number. “Samuel, what is the meaning of this email?” K blurted out, not giving him a chance to greet her.


    Gone was her usual gentleness, reced by irritation.


    From the other end, Samuel’s voice was courteous yet distant. “Miss Wade, please try to remain calm. I regret to inform you that this directive came straight from Mr. Wall.”


    “From Noah? Why on earth would he fire me? What have I done to deserve this?” K’s voice trembled with confusion and hurt, especially after her recent efforts to show her devotion through a meticulously prepared soup.


    After a slight hesitation, Samuel replied, maintaining hisposure, “I’m sorry, Miss Wade, but I don’t know the reasons. I’m only carrying out orders. You might want to speak directly with Mr. Wall.”


    Samuel hung up abruptly.


    The phone beeped monotonously, each sound slicing through K, sharp and painful.


    She shook with anger, her grip on her phone so intense it seemed it might shatter.


    Confused and hurt, she wondered why Noah was treating her this way. Was it because of Sadie?


    No other name came to mind as someone who could prompt Noah to act so decisively against her.


    It must be Sadie’s doing!


    As she pondered, K grew increasingly certain that Sadie was involved. Or could it be that Noah had uncovered something?

    A chilling fear washed over her.


    Eager for answers, K decided to call Kairi right away to get to the bottom of things.


    In a rush, K skimmed through her contacts, selected Kairi’s number, and made the call. The line beeped repeatedly.


    After a lengthy wait, it became clear that no one would pick up.


    K’s heart sank. A chill of dread washed over her.


    Determined, she switched to WhatsApp to message Kairi. “Where are you? This can’t wait. We need to talk.”


    Her message was sent without issue, yet there was no immediate response.


    K’s heart pounded with anxiety.


    When she tried to message Kairi again, she only saw a single grey check mark. She realized she had been blocked.


    At Wall Group, the lights in Noah’s office shone brightly, intensifying the stern lines of his face.


    “Mr. Wall, I’ve finished the tasks,” Samuel stated formally, standing straight before the desk.


    With a subtle nod, Noah remained expressionless.


    Samuel watched him closely, trying to gauge his thoughts.


    Noah tapped his long fingers rhythmically on the desk, making a deliberate sound. “Samuel, you can go home.”


    Samuel responded quickly, “Yes, Mr. Wall.” He promptly exited the office.


    With Samuel gone, Noah was the only one left in the spacious office.


    He rose slowly and moved toward the window.


    As he massaged his temples, a wave of irritation swept over him. The surgery for the boy was over. Perhaps now, Sadie might find some peace.


    Noah let out a soft sigh, picked up his suit jacket from the chair’s back, and departed from the office.
