Chapter 886

“Do you have any evidence of their private dealings with Jarrett?”

Nathan hesitated at the question. He had indeed collected some proof in secret, but he had never dared to bring it to light. The timing was never right, and he always feared that stirring the pot would backfire on him, badly.

Nathan contemplated for a moment before replying, “If you investigate thoroughly, you’re bound to find something.”

At that point, Sadie could no longer hold back.

“Mr. Noel, I’m asking you again, what are you trying to do? What are you implying? You spoke up on Jarrett’s behalf back at the manor and allowed him to get involved in Wall Group’s projects. What are you really up to?”noveldrama

She had tried and failed to fathom Noah’s intentions. He had always been such an enigma, and it pissed her off.

Noah turned to meet her gaze. “If Nathan here is planning to take over the Higgins Group, then the Wall Group’s projects would provide the best opportunity for him to take action.” He paused briefly to glance at Nathan in the rearview mirror. “Jarrett may have a lot of allies within the company, but that also means there is a veritable mix of good and bad apples among them. There is no guarantee that the projects will be executed smoothly and without mistakes. A failure in one operation can lead to a chain reaction, and when that happens, who will take responsibility? Naturally, Jarrett will be the one to take the fall.”

Sadie finally understood. So, this was Noah’s plan.

He was using the Wall Group’s projects as bait to lure Jarrett and his loyal allies into a trap, planning to close in on them during the course of the projects’ operations. Events would inevitably unfold that would lead to Jarrett’s removal from the position of chairman.

It was a ruthless scheme, but also an effective one. Regardless of the power and influence Jarrett held, they would mean nothing if he was caught in a massive business blunder. And with Sadie and the Wall Group applying pressure from both sides, Rodger wouldn’t dare to act recklessly, no matter how much he wanted to prevent Jarrett’s downfall.

Noah was very cunning—terrifyingly so. He seemed to have read her thoughts as well, because he continued in a voice tinged with amusement.

“Moreover, Mr. Higgins, Jarrett is no doubt eager to find an opportunity to give you a hard time, what with you being the newly appointed chairman and all. Instead of waiting for him to make a move, why not open a link in the chain and show him some semblance of weakness first? After all, pretending…”

Noah threw a pointed glance at the driver’s seat. “It’s your specialty, isn’t it, Mr. Higgins?”

Nathan raised an eyebrow at the remark. It looked like Noah had seen right through him. He decided to drop the act altogether.

“I suppose that won’t be a problem,” Nathan replied casually. He was quite experienced in playing the fool to catch others off-guard.
