Chapter 1066

“To be honest with you, Mr. Noel, I don’t even know what happened five years ago. My grandfather called me back to the manor out of nowhere, then instructed me to send Sharon away. I was told to take her as far away as possible, and to make sure Sadie never found out. I did ask him what was going on, but the old man refused to answer. I’m just as clueless as you in all of this!” Blaine spread his hands, his face frustrated and earnest at the same time.

Noah’s brows furrowed as he studied Blaine. He was obviously rattled, but he seemed sincere.

It didn’t look like he was lying.

He was right, too—the Castro family had no reason to target the Hudson family.

“I want to speak to your grandfather,” Noah suddenly said in a tone that brooked no argument.

A flicker of hesitation crossed Blaine’s eyes.noveldrama

Before he left the manor, he had noticed that his grandfather was uncharacteristically somber and weary. Clearly, the old man didn’t want to talk about the matter, let alone with an outsider.

Patrick’s request was proving to be a tricky one.

“I will do my best to pass your message along,” Blaine said cautiously. “But I have to tell you—I cannot guarantee that my grandfather would agree to meet with you.”

Noah just gave him a small nod.

“Then, please wait for me to get back to you.” Relieved, Blaine quickly walked out of the Maybach and hurried back to his own vehicle. He then instructed the driver to turn around and head straight to Castro Manor.

Meanwhile, the black Maybach remained where it was.

After a few minutes of waiting, Jack bent over and peeked into the backseat. “What do you think, Mr. Noel? Is Blaine telling the truth?”

Noah drummed his fingers on his knee before rolling the window fully open. He was immediately greeted by the cold night breeze. He fixed his gaze in the direction Blaine had left and shook his head. “It’s too early to make a judgment.”

He had initially been puzzled when he saw the footage of Sharon being taken away in a car registered to the Castro family.

The Castro family had been one of the founding pillars of the Wall Group. They had stood alongside Noah’s grandfather and father as their empire flourished. Their ties to both the Wall and Hudson families ran deep, especially Ralph, who had watched Noah grow up. Why would they take Sharon? And why were they trying to stop Sadie from uncovering the truth about the past?

The questions were piling up, with no answer in sight.

For now, only Ralph could provide any semblance of enlightenment.

About half an hour later, Blaine emerged from Castro Manor and made his way toward the Maybach, his strides brisk and resolute.

He stopped a short distance away and nodded in Noah’s direction, signaling that his grandfather was willing to speak to him.
