?Chapter 374:


    Her assistant stood silently, terrified to utter a word or even breathe too loudly, in case he became the target of her wrath.


    “Prepare the car! I need to see him!” Kmanded sharply, snatching her purse and heading for the door.


    She was determined to confront Noah and demand answers for his decisions. Upon arrival at the Wall Group headquarters, K wasted no time and headed directly for the CEO’s office.


    “Miss Wade, entry is not permitted at this time!” A secretary guarded the office door resolutely.


    “Step aside!” K shouted, pushing the secretary as she tried to get past.


    Surprised by K’s forceful attempt, the secretary quickly barred her way again.


    “Miss Wade, Mr. Wall is in a meeting. You cannot interrupt him now!”


    “In a meeting?” K applied more force to her push. “I need to see Noah immediately!”


    “Please, Miss Wade, calm down…” The secretary, repeatedly pushed aside, showed a mix of anxiety and helplessness on her face.


    Just then, Samuel stepped out from the office, noticing themotion and frowning slightly.


    “What seems to be the problem?” he asked, his voice deep andmanding.


    Grateful for the intervention, the secretary hurriedly exined to Samuel, “Miss Wade is demanding to see Mr. Wall, but he’s currently in an important meeting.”


    “I need Noah toe out here now!” K demanded, gesturing emphatically towards the office door.


    Samuel responded, “Miss Wade, it’s impossible to see Mr. Wall at this time.”


    “Impossible?” K scoffed. “So he dismisses me for Sadie, and now he won’t even meet me?”

    K’s voice grew louder and more agitated, drawing the attention of the employees nearby.


    “Please mind your words, Miss Wade,” Samuel said, his expression darkening.


    “Mr. Wall asked me to ry a message to you.”


    K’s head jerked up, and her eyes lit up with hope.


    “He did? What did he say?”


    Samuel took a deep breath and spoke slowly.


    “Mr. Wall said that he hoped you would have the good sense to know where you stand.”


    The words struck K like a bolt of lightning from the sky. All the color drained from her face, and all her strength seemed to have left her body too, as she swayed slightly from side to side.


    “Where I stand?” Was that his way of reminding her that he had chosen Sadie? No! She refused to ept it!


    “Impossible!” she cried. “He can’t treat me like this! After all these years, how can he just cast me aside like this?”


    She made another attempt to rush into the office, but Samuel blocked her path.


    “Miss Wade, please don’t make this any more difficult for the both of us.”


    K finally crumpled to the floor. Tears streamed down her face, ruining her previously wless makeup. She looked utterly defeated.


    The employees loitering around began to whisper among themselves as they stared and pointed at her. Their reactions varied from curiosity to pity. Samuel himself wasn’t sure what to feel upon seeing K in such a state.


    “Let me have the secretary take you home, Miss Wade,” he offered.


    Instead of responding, K hugged her knees and curled into a trembling mess in the middle of the hallway. The murmurs around her grew louder.
