Chapter 691

He flung a thick stack of bills toward the thug leader, indifferent. The thug leader’s eyes sparkled at the sight of the cash, his grin stretching wider.

“It’s a pleasure to work for you, Mr. Wall. We’re always happy to assist.” With a wave of his hand, Sutton dismissed the thugs.

“Get lost.”

“Yes, of course. Enjoy yourself,” the thug leader said, bowing before retreating with the others, quietly closing the door behind them.

Sutton adjusted his collar, a dark smirk playing on his lips.

“Hailey… let’s see how long you can keep up that pure facade,” he mused.

Anticipation buzzed in his veins as he stepped into the dimly lit room. Shadows stretched along the walls, and a slender figure lay still on the mattress.

Sutton rubbed his palms together, eagerness radiating from him. With feverish impatience, he stripped off his clothes, his laughter low and salacious.

“Come on, sweetheart, drop the act. I know you’ve been waiting for this. Don’t think I’ve forgotten how wild you once were. Today, I’ll make sure you have the time of your life.”

He lunged toward the bed, but just as he did, the person stirred. Sadie felt feverish, her mind clouded and her senses blurred.

She shifted, tugging at her collar in a bid to cool down.noveldrama

That slight movement made Sutton freeze in place.

His muscles tightened as he finally saw the woman’s face in the faint glow.

It wasn’t Hailey. It was Sadie!

Shock slammed into him, snuffing out any previous desire.

He recoiled, stumbling away from the bed, terror flooding his veins. How was this possible? How did Sadie end up here? He had clearly instructed the thugs to bring Hailey! Sutton’s mind reeled in frantic confusion.

As he glanced down at his disheveled clothes, disgust rolled through him.

He had almost laid hands on Sadie—mistaking her for Hailey.

The thought alone made him sick.

Without delay, he yanked his pants back on, fumbling as panic overtook him.

His only goal now was to get the hell out of there.

Outside, the thugs lounged, grinning smugly.

When Sutton emerged so quickly, they exchanged knowing looks, assuming he’d already indulged. Their faces lit up with excitement.

“Mr. Wall, done already? Want some company? We promise you’ll enjoy it even more,” the leader joked.

Sutton’s fury exploded at his words.

His eyes blazed as he slammed a vicious kick into the leader’s gut.

“Shut up, you idiot!”

The thug doubled over, stunned.

“Mr. Wall, what’s wrong?”

Sutton, breathing heavily, pointed furiously toward the room. “I said to snatch Hailey! Open your damn eyes and look who you delivered!”

Confusion swept over the group.

Hadn’t they grabbed Hailey? The woman’s figure matched, and they’d cross-checked with the photo. How could there have been a mix-up?

The men exchanged uneasy glances, utterly rattled.

Sutton was livid, his entire body shaking with anger.

“You’re worthless! A bunch of goddamn idiots! You can’t even handle a simple task! What on earth am I even paying you for?”
