Chapter 520
The doctor and Nanette exchanged uneasy glances, a flicker of fear passing between them.
Defying Noah was not an option. Silently, they obeyed, slipping out of the room, the door clicking shut behind them.
The sound echoed in the vast stillness. Sadie’s heart clenched.
Now, it was just the two of them.
The air in the room thickened, charged with intensity as Noah took a slow, deliberate step forward. Then another. And another.
“Sadie, are you really so desperate to leave me?” His deep voice shattered the silence.
“That’s not…” She wanted to deny it, to explain—but the words barely left her lips before Noah cut her off. “That’s not what you were doing? Then, what the hell were you doing? Come on, tell me!” Noah pointed at Sadie’s outfit, his tone stern and angry.
“Do you even understand the state you’re in? Your head wound hasn’t healed, and yet you’re trying to walk out of here? What are you trying to do—kill yourself?”
Sadie flinched, momentarily stunned by the sheer force of his anger. She parted her lips, but no words came out.
“Lie down. Now.” Before she could react, Noah’s hands were on her shoulders, pushing her back onto the bed.
“Hey—” A sharp gasp escaped her as pain flared at the back of her head.
Her body tensed, her vision momentarily blurring.
Noah’s jaw tightened. The moment he saw her wince, saw the color drain from her face, something shifted in his expression. His anger wavered, a flicker of regret surfacing in his dark eyes. He’d been too harsh. Too forceful.
For a brief second, his fingers hovered as if he wanted to check on her, to see if she was okay. But then the memory of her reckless attempt to leave reignited the fire in his chest.

Clenching his jaw, he forced himself to rein in his frustration. His tone, though still firm, softened—just slightly. “Sadie, listen to me. You’re not going anywhere.
You will stay in this bed and recover. Understood?”
Sadie opened her mouth, but before she could get another word out—
“Enough!” Noah cut her off.
“Not another word. You don’t need to explain anything. You don’t need to do anything. Just stay put and rest.”
His tone, though less harsh than before, carried finality.
Sadie stared at Noah’s stern face, frustration and grievance swelling in her chest.
“Can you at least hear me out, Noah? What exactly happened between Wall Group and the Howe Group?”noveldrama
She locked eyes with him, searching for answers, determined to uncover the truth.
Noah exhaled sharply, irritation flickering across his features.
He didn’t want her involved in this—didn’t want her anywhere near the chaos brewing beneath the surface.
But he knew Sadie. If he kept her in the dark, she wouldn’t stop until she uncovered everything herself. And that… that was far too dangerous.
Better she heard it from him than risk her life chasing after it.
“The Howe Group…” His words were deliberate. “They got exactly what they deserved.”
He didn’t elaborate. He didn’t soften the blow. He simply delivered the truth in a voice devoid of sympathy.
“Deserved?” Sadie echoed his word, eyes widening.
She had known the Howe and Perry families had joined forces against Wall Group, but still—hearing what Noah said sent a chill down her spine.

Hello, dear readers! Sorry for the delay this week — my birthday was two days ago, and I didn’t have much time to release the chapters.
Two new novels will be released tomorrow. I hope you enjoy them!
