Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 607

Chapter 607 Noah’s Wrath

Jack had barely finished speaking when Noah suddenly turned his cold, sharp gaze on him.

Jack immediately fell silent, a part of him regretting he ever said anything. What had gotten into him, anyway?

Noah closed the file, his face blank. Without saying a word, he turned and walked out of the study.

Jack trailed after him without a second to waste.

An hour later, a black car cruised into the suburbs of Jazmah and pulled to a stop in front of a brightly lit villa.

Noah stepped out of the car first, with Jack following closely behind. They entered the villa, their strides brisk

and long.

They stopped at the foyer when they heard a frantic muttering coming from the living room.

Hailey was pacing back and forth in her silk robe, her hands clenching and unclenching as she continued with her hushed tirade.

“That idiot! Completely useless! After all the hints I gave, the schemes I planned… what did she achieve?! That bitch doesn’t even know how to cover her tracks properly! As if it wasn’t bad enough that she failed to kill Sadie, she’s just had to get herself caught! If the authorities trace this back to me…” Hailey trailed off, too scared to explore that line of thought.

A muscle ticked in Noah’s jaw as he glared at Hailey’s back. He had heard enough.

“Who were you planning to kill?” he asked, his voice low and menacing.

Hailey froze for a few seconds, then she whipped around in alarm.

A look of horror crossed her face when she saw that it was Noah.

Why was he back all of a sudden? Shouldn’t he be at the company? Or perhaps at Autumn Garden Villa? Had he discovered the truth?

Hailey’s chest tightened, and she struggled to suppress her panic. She quickly plastered a strained smile on her face and hurried over to Noah.

She was so caught up in her paranoia that she didn’t notice the dangerous aura that thrummed around him. “Noah! What brings you here all of a sudden?” Hailey asked, doing her best to sound normal with just a touch of surprise. “You should have called and told me you were coming. I could have had the servants prepare your favorite dishes.”

As she said this, she slowly inched toward the kitchen and away from him. She couldn’t let him see her guilt. She had to pretend like she knew nothing, or he might suspect her of being involved in Sadie’s recent

misfortunes.

Needless to say, Noah saw right through her little innocent act. His lips curled into a chilling smile.

<Chapter 607 Noah’s Wrath

Still saying nothing, he slammed a thick kraft paper file onto the polished marble floor. It fell with a sharp crack, followed by the sound of fluttering papers as they were sent flying in all directions.

Hailey flinched at the noise, her instincts screaming at her to flee. But she didn’t. She couldn’t.

Slowly, she turned around, her gaze falling on the sheets of paper scattered on the floor.

They were call logs. Even from where she stood, she recognized the numbers listed on the report. One was her

private number, and the other belonged to Briley.

She jerked her head up to meet Noah’s eyes. They burned with a kind of rage and hatred that seared her very

soul.

Hailey opened her mouth, but her throat seemed to close in, and no sound came out.

It was over. Noah knew everything now.

How did he even find out this

soon?

Noah took a step closer, then another. His presence seemed to suck all the warmth from the room, until all that was left was a heavy sense of dread and despair.

Without any warning, his hand shot out and closed around Hailey’s delicate neck, His fingers tightened like a noose, and she immediately found it hard to breathe.

The only reason Noah had refrained from confronting her until now was that he had naively thought Hailey still had some semblance of a conscience within her. But after what he had witnessed just now, he realized he had given her too much credit.

“If you lay a finger on Sadie again, you can forget about getting any mercy from me.”

Hailey’s vision was blurry at that point, and her face had turned an alarming shade of red. She clawed at Noah’s hand and tried to pry herself free, but her efforts were all in vain.

The file showed that she had just made a few calls to Briley. That was it–just a few calls!

“What…” Hailey gasped. “What did I do? Why would I… Hurt Sadie? I don’t have anything… against her…”

She tried to defend herself in between gasps for air. Her only hope now was to distance herself from the incident so she could insist on her innocence.

But contrary to her goals, her denial only fanned the flames of Noah’s anger.

Nothing against Sadie, she said? What a piss–poor lie!

He tightened his grip even more. Hailey’s eyes began to roll back, her arms going slack.

Jack, who had been watching it all unfold from the sidelines, snapped to attention.
