Chapter 704

Briley took a deep breath, trying to compose herself as she pretended nothing had happened. She quietly left the hospital room. Coyle shut the door gently behind her.

“Sutton, remember what I’ve said. From this point forward, you know nothing. Keep your focus on healing. Let me handle the rest.” Sutton eyed his father with uncertainty. “Dad, how do you plan to strike back at him?” Coyle sneered, his voice low and deliberate. “Strike back at Noah? Not yet. First, we stabilize things and gain full control over Wall Group. Once that’s done, even if Patrick turns out to be Noah, there’s little he can do.”

Sutton’s eyes widened with sudden understanding. “Are you suggesting we use Sadie against him?” A cold smirk spread across Coyle’s face, eyes sharp as a blade. “Sadie is both Noah’s wife and Wall Group’s current leader. If we aim to seize control, it starts with her.”

Without wasting a moment, Coyle pulled out his phone and made a call. “Dig into Sadie’s and Patrick’s every move last night. Also, prepare a resignation letter in Sutton’s name and forward it to Wall Group.”

“Understood, sir.”

Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office at Wall Group, Sadie sat behind her desk, absently turning a mask over in her hand, her thoughts tangled. The events of the previous night still felt unreal, like fragments of a strange dream. Now that she was awake, all that remained was fatigue and a growing sense of unease.

Sadie rubbed her temples, trying to clear her head. Now was not the time to dwell on these matters. There were still many issues at Wall Group that required her attention. The phone on her desk rang.

“Ms. Hudson, the HR manager called. Sutton has submitted his resignation!” Samuel’s voice came through clearly.

Sadie’s brow furrowed.

“Sutton? After clinging desperately to Wall Group, now he suddenly wanted out? It didn’t add up.”

“Put him through,” she said evenly, hiding her suspicions.

Moments later, the HR manager’s voice filled the line.

“Ms. Hudson, Sutton’s resignation letter just arrived. Should we accept or reject it?”

The HR manager’s voice was cautious, as he was confused by the situation.

“What reason did he give?” Sadie asked, her fingers rhythmically tapping her desk.

“Health concerns,” came the reply. “He claims he needs to step down from all positions due to his poor health.”

“Seriously? Since when did Sutton become so delicate?”

Sadie scoffed. Sutton was clearly lying—he wasn’t sick; he was definitely scheming something.

“Hold off on processing the resignation for now. There’s no rush,” she instructed coolly.

“Understood, Ms. Hudson,” the HR manager responded before ending the call.

Sadie’s gaze grew colder, suspicion brewing beneath the surface. What game was Sutton playing this time?

A knock broke her train of thought, followed by Samuel’s voice from outside the office.

“Ms. Hudson.”

“Come in,” she replied, masking her concerns with a neutral tone. Samuel stepped inside, holding a file, his demeanor calm and unreadable.
