Chapter 274
She fantasized about casting Sadie from the vehicle right at that moment.
Finally, the Maybach smoothly halted at the ornate iron gates of Stonemont Estate.
The rain continued unabated, its heavy drops beating a rhythmic pitter-patter against the windows.
Samuel was quick to exit the car, unfurling a large black umbrella and courteously holding the door open for Noah and Kyla.
Noah emerged, his tall figure clad in a black suit, looking striking yet emotionless.
Kyla, dressed elegantly in a white gown, tightly gripped Noah’s arm, her makeup flawless.
Sadie exited the vehicle from the other side, managing her umbrella by herself.
Awaiting their arrival was the estate’s butler, who promptly advanced with a respectful bow as he spotted Noah and Kyla. “Mr. Wall, Miss Wade, welcome.”
Spotting Sadie, drenched from the rain, the butler momentarily registered surprise before composing himself and quietly asking, “And… who is this lady?”
Noah gave Sadie a cold look and remained silent.
With Kyla poised to speak while still linked to Noah, Sadie quickly interjected, “Hello, I’m Sadie Hudson, referred by Mrs. Leanna Lawrence of the Lawrence Group. I’m here to visit Ms. Shaw.” The butler’s confusion resolved into clarity.
Smiling apologetically at Sadie, he said, “Oh, Miss Hudson. You’re quite wet—it’s easy to catch a cold in that state. Please, come inside and change into dry clothes.”
Sadie paused briefly before agreeing with a nod.noveldrama
The butler continued, “Mr. Wall, a servant will escort you and Miss Wade to the gazebo, and I’ll inform Ms. Shaw immediately.”

After a final look at Sadie, Noah walked away in the other direction.
The butler guided Sadie through the opulently decorated hall, and they reached a guest room filled with warmth and the soothing scent of lavender.
“Miss Hudson, please make yourself comfortable here while I fetch some fresh clothing,” he said before exiting the room.
Exhausted, Sadie grabbed a towel from the bathroom and sank into the soft sofa to dry off her hair.
The butler had seemed to be familiar with Noah and Kyla earlier. Most likely, they were here for a business collaboration too. But why would Noah be interested in working with Eva?
Shortly, the butler returned with clothing—a cream cashmere sweater and light gray pants.
“Miss, these belong to Ms. Shaw. They should fit you for the time being,” he said politely.
Sadie expressed her gratitude, and the butler departed.
After slipping into the provided clothes, Sadie felt the cashmere’s gentle warmth against her skin, though it did little to loosen up the coldness settling in her heart.
Despite knowing her studio stood little chance against the might of Wall Group, Sadie was determined not to back down now that she was here.
She was just smoothing the oversized sleeves when Kyla entered, her heels clicking authoritatively on the floor, radiating an air of dominance. Her face was twisted into a mocking sneer.
