Chapter 548
Sadie’s eyelashes fluttered more noticeably, and a tear escaped from her eye.
A wave of hope washed over Noah.
Sadie was responding; she could hear Averi, she felt his love.
“Mommy, remember? You promised to take me to the amusement park,” Averi continued, his voice hopeful. “And you said you’d buy me lots of toys.”
Sadie’s fingers twitched slightly.
Noah, observing every minor reaction, whispered encouragingly, “Sadie, Averi is here talking to you. Open your eyes and look at him, okay?”
Gradually, Sadie’s eyes fluttered open. Her gaze was vacant and unfocused, as though she had lost her connection to the world around her.
“Mommy!” Averi cried out joyfully, throwing his arms around her. Sadie stiffened for a moment, unaccustomed to the contact, but she didn’t pull away. Instead, she slowly lifted her hand and tenderly stroked Averi’s hair.
“Averi…” Her voice was faint and strained, as if echoing from a distant place.
“Mommy, you woke up!” Averi exclaimed, hugging her tightly, afraid she might slip away again.
As Sadie’s eyes slowly began to clear, she looked down at Averi, cradled in her arms, her gaze softening with warmth.
“Mommy is here, Averi,” she murmured weakly.
“Mommy, promise you’ll always stay with me,” Averi said, looking up at her with earnest eyes.
Sadie nodded gently. “I promise, Averi. I won’t leave you again.”
Noah stood to the side, watching Sadie and Averi embrace tightly, his heart a maelstrom of emotions.
As Sadie’s condition steadily improved, Noah returned to Wall Group.

The atmosphere in the CEO’s office was oppressively tense. Noah sat behind the expansive desk, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the surface, the dull thuds resonating ominously. His face remained as impassive as a frozen lake, yet his eyes smoldered with an intense fire, casting a chilling presence.
Standing before him, Samuel delivered the latest findings from their investigation.
“Mr. Wall, we’ve discovered that the Howe and Perry families have been collaborating closely, secretly acquiring various small- to medium-sized businesses. They are also attempting to lure away our core technology team.”
Samuel spoke in a low tone, bracing for Noah’s potential reaction.
“Really? They think forming an alliance against me will bring me down?” Noah scoffed, a sharp smile playing on his lips. “Do they actually believe this will defeat me?”
His voice, though not loud, carried a formidable authority that chilled the room.
“Mr. Wall, what’s our next move?” Samuel inquired cautiously.
“What’s our next move?” Noah pondered, rising slowly to approach the floor-to-ceiling window. “If they want a game, I’ll give them one,” he declared, turning to face Samuel with a piercing gaze. “Let it be known that Wall Group is venturing into the new energy sector, focusing on key initiatives…” He paused, his eyes gleaming coldly. “I want them to cough up everything they’ve taken.”
Samuel felt a surge of adrenaline. Noah’s responses were always swift and decisive. He was determined to exact a steep toll on those who dared harm Sadie.
As the stock market opened, a covert battle commenced. Wall Group unexpectedly announced its foray into the new energy market, pouring significant investment into several ventures. This move sparked widespread controversy.
Stocks linked to the Howe and Perry families tumbled dramatically, leaving market watchers dumbfounded. Simultaneously, a deluge of negative publicity involving the Howe and Perry Groups—ranging from quality lapses to tax evasion and unfair competition—saturated the media, plunging both corporations into a deep crisis.
