Chapter 529
“Knock, knock, knock.”
Loud knocks jolted Alex from his reverie.
He looked up, his voice weary and strained. “Come in!”
The door burst open, and Stan entered, his expression marked by urgency, panting for breath.
“Mr. Howe! Bad news!”
A heavy sense of dread sank in Alex’s chest.
He steeled himself against his rising anxiety and asked with a grave tone, “What’s happened? Why are you so agitated?”
“Mrs. Howe… Mrs. Howe has…” Stan said, his voice tinged with panic, “Mrs. Howe has gone missing.”
“What?” Alex leaped to his feet, his complexion blanching.
He seized Stan’s arm, his voice trembling with urgency. “What did you say? My mother is missing? When did this occur?”
“Just… just moments ago,” Stan replied, visibly shaken by Alex’s intensity. “I got a call from your family’s butler. He said Mrs. Howe went out this afternoon and hasn’t returned. Her phone is off, and though people have been sent to search, there’s still no word…”
Alex’s world seemed to spin, his vision blurring as he struggled to maintain composure.
His mother was a cornerstone of his life; he couldn’t bear the thought of losing her.
“Find her!” Alex growled through clenched teeth. “Find out where my mother went at once! Spare no expense to ensure her safe return.”
“Understood, Mr. Howe. I’m on it immediately.” Stan nodded, wasting no time as he turned and hurried out.noveldrama
Alex slumped back into his chair, his hands clenched into fists, nails digging into his palms. Blood seeped from the wounds, unnoticed.

The disappearance of his mother was surely no accident.
At such a critical time, her sudden absence might suggest she had been kidnapped.
Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office of Wall Group, Noah was engrossed in a pile of documents, his brows furrowed in concentration.
“Ring, ring, ring…”
An urgent phone call broke his focus.
Noah glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Samuel.
He answered, his voice low. “Hello, Samuel. What’s going on?”
“Mr. Wall, it’s done,” Samuel replied, his tone laced with a hint of pride.
“Hmm,” Noah responded, his voice neutral, betraying no surprise.
“Mr. Wall, what are our next steps?” Samuel inquired cautiously.
A cold flash passed through Noah’s eyes, his tone icy and firm. “I want everyone who harmed Sadie to face consequences, one by one.” This included Susannah.
Noah’s long fingers tapped rhythmically on the desk.
Samuel, having worked for Noah for many years, was intimately familiar with his character and style.
Noah was decisive and swift in his actions; once he made a decision, it was final.
Above all, Noah’s deep concern for Sadie was a driving force behind his actions.
For Sadie, Noah would go to any length.
Samuel knew that those who had harmed Sadie were in for serious repercussions this time.
