Chapter 220
The secretary ushered her into Hank’s office, a spacious room bathed in natural light from the expansive floor-to-ceiling windows.
As Sadie approached, Hank turned with a welcoming smile. “Miss Hudson, please take a seat,” he offered, gesturing towards a plush chair.
Sadie settled into the chair, and Hank promptly served her a cup of coffee. “My wife absolutely adores the jewelry set you designed last time. She’s constantly praising how unique the design is,” he shared, his tone conveying genuine appreciation.
“Thank you,” Sadie replied, her smile softening. “It’s always wonderful to hear such positive feedback, especially from Mrs. Lawrence.”
Hank’s expression grew thoughtful. “I’ve heard about the challenges your studio has faced recently. I’m very sorry to hear that.”noveldrama
He paused, then reached into his desk drawer and produced a gold-embossed invitation, which he extended towards Sadie. “We’re celebrating our tenth wedding anniversary in ten days with a small gathering. I’d be honored if you could join us.”
Taking the invitation, Sadie felt a surge of hope. This was more than just an invitation; it was a lifeline. Her studio needed a platform to restore its reputation, and Hank’s event could provide just that.
Sadie met Hank’s gaze confidently, her voice calm and clear. “Mr. Lawrence, I’m honored to accept your invitation to the anniversary celebration. I will ensure the ‘Ten Year Promise’ jewelry set is completed to the highest standard. I sincerely hope it will meet Mrs. Lawrence’s expectations.”
Hank looked back at her, a flicker of respect in his eyes.
Sadie knew this event was an opportunity she couldn’t afford to let slip away.
After leaving the Lawrence Group, she stepped into the lively street, her thoughts whirling with plans and possibilities.
She quickly pulled out her phone to call her assistant, Pierre.

“Hey, Pierre, it’s me,” Sadie said as soon as he picked up.
“Sadie! How did everything go? What did Mr. Lawrence say?” Pierre’s voice buzzed with curiosity and excitement.
“He invited me to his 10th wedding anniversary party,” Sadie responded with a subtle note of triumph.
“That’s incredible, Sadie! I knew it would go well!” Pierre’s enthusiasm was palpable, lifting Sadie’s spirits even higher.
Sadie allowed herself a brief smile of satisfaction, but her expression quickly shifted back to one of focus. “We can’t celebrate just yet. The ‘Ten Year Promise’ collection requires very specific gemstones, with the centerpiece being a Cardilla Pink Diamond. They’re scarce in the market, but we need to find one.”
“These diamonds are rare in the country, so we need to airlift one from abroad immediately.” Sadie’s fingers danced across her phone screen as she spoke, visualizing the radiant pink diamond in her design sketches. “Got it, Sadie. I’ll contact our international suppliers immediately,” Pierre assured her.
“Ensure the quality of the gemstones is up to standard. We have some flexibility with the price, but we need to keep it within our budget,” Sadie instructed, her tone firm.
“Understood!” Pierre replied.
After ending the call, Sadie quickly caught a taxi and headed to the hospital.
Half an hour later, Sadie was sitting by Averi’s bed in the hospital room. He lay quietly, holding the picture book she had brought him. His small face looked pale and delicate under the soft light.
Sadie’s heart tightened with concern. Suddenly, she heard an anxious voice behind her. “Sadie!”
Turning, Sadie saw Jim hurrying toward her, his expression a mix of urgency and excitement. Confusion washed over Sadie.
“Dr. Archer, what’s happened?” Sadie asked.
