Chapter 533
Terrance watched, a mix of emotions in his eyes, then turned to Aliza with a gentle tone.
“It’s been tough on you, Aliza. Alex is just confused right now; don’t take it personally.”
Aliza nodded, managing a weak smile.
“I’m fine, Mr. Howe. Alex is just overly concerned about Mrs. Howe. I’m sure he’ll come to understand my intentions eventually.”
“I’m glad to hear that,” Terrance responded. “It’s so good that you’ll be a member of the Howe family.” He handed Alex’s phone to Aliza. “Take this phone, Aliza. Move forward with our agreed plan.”
Aliza accepted the phone, her eyes flickering with a subtle gleam of satisfaction.
She nodded firmly, reassuring Terrance, “Please rest assured, Mr. Howe, I won’t let you down. I’ll ensure that Howe Group not only surpasses Wall Group but also becomes a leader in the business world.”
Terrance looked at her, nodding with satisfaction.
He was confident that with Aliza’s help, Howe Group would defeat Wall Group and reclaim its former glory.
He also believed that Alex, currently blinded by love, would eventually recognize who truly cared for him.
“Ugh…” Sadie groaned softly as she regained consciousness.
Her head throbbed painfully, and her vision was blurry, reflecting the physical turmoil she had endured.
She sat up despite the soreness racking her body.
Despite the bright sunlight streaming through the window, a chill settled in her heart.

The room was silent, and then, a text message alert cut through the quiet.
Struggling, Sadie reached for her phone, the screen’s glow harsh on her Squinting, she tried to make out the words on the screen.
The new message was from Alex.
She steadied herself, carefully reading each word of the message.
“Sadie, something has happened to your grandmother. She’s currently being treated in a hospital. Noah has intentionally kept this from you.”
The message struck Sadie like a bolt of lightning, sending shockwaves through her mind.
Her grandma was in a hospital?
Sadie’s pupils suddenly contracted, and an overwhelming mix of fear and sorrow engulfed her. Her chest felt heavy, and she suddenly found it hard to breathe.
Impossible… This couldn’t be happening!
Her grandmother had been perfectly fine just a few days ago. How could something happen to her so suddenly?noveldrama
Sadie refused to believe the news. Her hands began to shake, and the phone nearly slipped from her grasp.
She stared at the screen, wishing that it was all just a nightmare, that Alex’s next message would tell her that it was all a misunderstanding. She was yanked out of her daze when the second message arrived.
“I’ve arranged for someone to pick you up. Be careful!” It was brief, but the urgency was plain and unmistakable.
Sadie’s heart sank.
Alex would never joke about something like this. If he said that Laura was in critical condition, then it must be so.
Why had Noah kept this crucial information from her?
