Chapter 383 Chapter 383: Yet, she made no move to leave, stepping further into the room, her eyes boldly scanning Noah.
"It was such a pleasure to meet you at the Starlight Gala. I didn't expect our paths to cross again," she cooed, her voice dripping with saccharine sweetness.
Noah gave her a frosty look, his voice icy. "I don't recall that." He continued dressing, disregarding Vivi's flirty demeanor.
Her smile stiffened as she felt a surge of resentment. She hadn't anticipated such indifference, him completely ignoring her presence.
"Mr. Wall, your memory seems quite selective." Vivi pressed on, masking her irritation. "I'm Vivi from the Quinn family, and the chief designer of Majestic Ego." Noah finished buttoning his shirt and met her gaze, his patience wearing thin. "Is there something you want?" "No... nothing really." Vivi felt a pang of guilt under Noah's scrutinizing gaze but refused to back down. "I just wanted to say hello. It's fate that we meet here." "I don't believe in fate," Noah replied coldly, turning and walking towards the bathroom to freshen up.

Noah stepped out of the bathroom, immediately sensing the tension in the room, his frown deepening.
Sadie felt a suffocating pressure in her chest, standing motionless.
She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms, yet she felt no pain.
Vivi noticed Sadie's distress and allowed a slight smirk to cross her face.

Eva glanced at Sadie and Noah, her eyes sparkling with playful amusement. "Oh dear, young people are always so impulsive. I'm just an old-timer, so I'll leave you to it." With a graceful turn, she gently closed the door behind her, leaving Sadie and Noah alone.

She reminded herself that she and Noah were on the brink of divorce.

Noah remained silent, instead leaning Kasa in to capture her lips in a forcefu kiss. It was a dominant and intense kiss, charged with pent-up anger and unspoken feelings.
