Chapter 926

Sadie slid into the seat with elegance. Nathan shut the door behind her, then walked around to the driver’s side and climbed in.

The car glided smoothly away from the hotel.

Sadie caught Nathan’s eye, noticing his palpable excitement.

“So, what’s the plan once we arrive at Higgins Manor?”

Nathan adjusted his posture, his smile brimming with confidence.

“Ms. Hudson, just follow my lead. I’ve sent a team to gather information. The fiasco at yesterday’s wedding is dominating today’s news. My family’s reputation is tarnished, and the company’s stock price has plummeted by five percent. My father is likely overwhelmed with damage control—he won’t be thinking clearly. We’ll take this opportunity to catch Jarrett off guard.”

Sadie nodded subtly, then closed her eyes and reclined in her seat, seeking a moment of rest.

Yet, her thoughts wandered to Noah—his masked visage and the fleeting softness in his eyes as he cradled Averi.

Meanwhile, back at the hotel’s presidential suite, Noah stirred awake.

Instinctively, he reached out to pull Sadie closer.

However, his hand met only the cool, empty sheets where she had been.

He opened his eyes, and a shadow of annoyance crossed his face. She had truly gone—without a second thought.

Noah sat up and reached for the bathrobe on the nightstand, slipping it on before padding out of the bedroom.

He found Tina meticulously arranging a breakfast spread on the dining table. She paused when she saw him standing there and gave a polite greeting.

“Good morning, Mr. Noel.”

Noah took a seat and picked up the cup of coffee in front of him, sweeping a lazy gaze across the room.

“Where’s your boss?” he asked.

“Ms. Hudson left over an hour ago,” Tina replied. “She asked me to stay and look after Averi.”

Noah took a sip of coffee and let its rich, bitter taste spread across his tongue.

What an ungrateful woman. He had gone out of his way to take her in last night, and she couldn’t even offer a simple thank you before leaving?

Sadie had just used him and tossed him aside.

Noah’s internal grumbling was interrupted by the shrill ringtone of his phone. It was Forest.

Noah immediately frowned but still chose to take the call.

“Hello?”
