Chapter 658

“What do you think you’re doing?” she cried out in alarm. “Let go of me!”

When Sutton spoke again, his voice was laced with menace and danger.

“Did you complete the task I gave you three years ago? Did you make sure that Noah never wakes up?”

Hailey paused and hesitated.

At the end of the day, she needed what Sutton offered, so she lied to him.

“Of course.”

An idea suddenly occurred to her then.

Since Noah refused to touch her, why didn’t she make use of Sutton instead?

Coming to a decision right then and there, Hailey wound her arms around Sutton’s neck to initiate a kiss.

Sutton chuckled smugly.

“It looks like Patrick hasn’t been satisfying you.”

Then he swooped in to kiss her.noveldrama

The air inside the room soon turned thick and heavy.

In the middle of the night, Hailey quietly slipped out of the bed.

With only the light of the moon streaming through the windows, she tiptoed to where she had dropped her purse and took out her phone.

She quickly composed a message and sent it.

Sutton was a deeply calculating person, and he was constantly suspicious of the people around him.

He would eventually discover that Noah was still alive, and when that happened, Hailey knew he would not let her off easily.

For now, she would just have to take a risk.

Tuesday.

Sadie had just wrapped up her morning meeting.

Samuel was supposed to fetch Patrick from the airport, but he returned to the company with an apologetic look on his face.

“I thought you went to pick up Mr. Noel,” Sadie said when she saw him.

“I was able to pick up some people from that particular flight, but it turned out to be a team from the Burgess Group. They are likely settling in at their hotel as we speak. As for Mr. Noel and Ms. Burgess, they apparently returned to the country last Saturday.”

Sadie frowned at that.

She had dealt with difficult business partners before, but this was the first time she had encountered someone so unpredictable.

“I suppose it’s fine,” she said, not all that concerned. “We’ll see him tomorrow anyway. We can discuss things then.”

Samuel nodded in agreement.

Sadie continued walking ahead, all while rattling off instructions for Samuel regarding the next day’s schedule.

Once she was in her office, Sadie settled behind her desk and reached for the landline. She was about to call for a meeting with the marketing department when her personal phone suddenly rang.

The number flashing on her screen was unfamiliar, but it showed that the call was coming from Zupren.

Sadie’s brows furrowed as she pressed to answer.
