Chapter 303
“What? Can you repeat that?” Sadie stood rooted to the spot, feeling as though she had been doused with cold water, chilling her to the bone. “How could that be? The Howe family and the Wall family have been close for generations, and the Howe family isn’t exactly powerless…”
Tina gave a confused shrug. “Who can say? The motives of those at the top are often a mystery.”
Suppressing a yawn and blinking back tears, Tina murmured, “I’ve got to get some sleep. I’m exhausted.”
With a wave of her hand, Tina departed, leaving Sadie alone with her thoughts swirling.
Could the Wall Group really be aiming to acquire the Howe Group?
How could this be happening?
She was unable to get in touch with Alex… Was it linked to Noah somehow?
The chill of the wind, now mingled with light rain, whipped across Sadie’s face, snapping her back to reality.
The Wall Group’s potential takeover of the Howe Group, the resignation of her staff… It all seemed to converge on a single, ominous point.
Inside, Sadie fought to contain the turmoil swirling within her.
“Is all this happening because of me?” she muttered to herself. She suddenly recalled what happened in Noah’s car, his chilling words echoing in her mind. “Sadie, you’ll regret this. Mark my words…”noveldrama
Only then did she grasp the full picture. It was because she had refused his “generosity.”
Was Noah seeking vengeance against her and Alex?

A sharp pang constricted Sadie’s chest, as though her heart was being wrung, rendering her breathless. “No, I must uncover the truth.”
Gritting her teeth, Sadie pulled out her phone and quickly dialed a number.
“Look into the staff who left my studio. I need to know where they’ve gone.”
The waiting period seemed endless.
Ten minutes passed before her phone started ringing.
“Miss Hudson, we’ve found out. All your former employees have moved to Wall Group.”
This was exactly what Sadie had suspected. Her grip on the phone tightened, her knuckles blanching.
Anger began to swell in her chest, threatening to consume her.
Meanwhile, the sound of the kindergarten bell pierced the air, marking the day’s end as children’s laughter filled the background.
Seeing Sadie at the edge of the crowd, Averi dashed over on his tiny legs and leapt into her arms, exclaiming, “Mommy!”
With effort, Sadie mustered a smile and embraced her son with all her might.
“Mommy, are you okay? You seem sad,” said Averi, his small hand tenderly caressing her face.
“I’m fine, sweetheart. Mommy’s just feeling a bit worn out,” Sadie reassured him, holding back her tears as she kissed his forehead.
Once they were home, Sadie passed Averi to Carol.
She quickly relayed some instructions and then rushed out. Finding Noah was imperative. She was determined to confront him and demand the truth.
