Chapter 122 Byrum Succeeded
Jim hid the turmoil in his eyes as he looked away.
The air thickened with tension for a brief moment.
“Let’s talk over there in the corridor,” suggested Sadie, breaking the silence.
Side by side, they walked to the corridor.
“Thank you for what you did three years ago. Without you, I wouldn’t have known what to do. Averi might have…” Sadie’s voice trailed off, her eyes shimmering with tears she fought to hold back.
Jim saw her strained smile and felt a twinge in his heart.
Three years earlier, Sadie had appeared frail and despondent, her eyes brimming with despair.
Now, she stood before him transformed, vibrant and full of life.
“How have you been these past three years?” he asked quietly.
Sadie replied with a smile, “I’ve been doing well. I’ve started my own business and I’m staying with Averi. Life’s tough, but fulfilling.”
“That’s good to hear.”
“When Averi gets better, I’ll treat you to a meal to properly thank you,” Sadie promised earnestly.
Jim nodded. “Alright.”
He checked his watch. “I have other patients to attend to, so I should get going.”
“Okay, you go ahead,” Sadie said, watching him walk away. Her smile slowly faded.
Averi’s fever quickly subsided.
Watching her son sleep peacefully, Sadie sighed deeply.
Once he was discharged, she returned to her studio without pausing to rest.
With the opening looming, she threw herself into her work.
Managing with a small team, Sadie aimed for perfection in everything she did.
Byrum proved to be a diligent worker, bringing in a batch of clients which greatly reassured her.
“Miss Hudson, please take a look. I’ve contacted these clients and sorted out their requirements,” Byrum said respectfully, presenting a file to Sadie.

“Thank you for your hard work, Byrum.” Sadie glanced over the file quickly. “These clients have high demands. We’ll need
to step up our game.”
“Yes, they are quite influential in the industry. Securing their orders would greatly benefit our studio’s development,” Byrum replied.
Sadie nodded her agreement. “I’ll finish the design drafts as soon as possible to ensure their satisfaction.”
In the subsequent days, Sadie practically sealed herself in the studio, laboring tirelessly both day and night.
“Miss Hudson, you haven’t slept for two days. You need to rest,” Byrum said, approaching Sadie with a glass of hot milk.
Sadie rubbed her eyes, weary from exhaustion, and managed a smile. “It’s okay. I can handle it. This is our studio’s first major project, and it needs to leave a strong impression.”
Finally, the day before the deadline, Sadie completed all the design drafts.
She exhaled in relief and passed the drafts to Byrum.
“Byrum, I’ve been abroad for some time, so I’m not quite in tune with local tastes. Could you review these drafts and forward them to the clients? I need to rest,” Sadie said, her voice tinged with fatigue.
“Of course, Miss Hudson,” Byrum replied, his expression unreadable for a moment.
Sadie nodded and walked to the lounge.
Overcome with exhaustion, she needed to sleep soundly.
As Sadie departed, Byrum’s lips twisted into a smirk.
He pulled out his phone and made a call.
“Miss Wade, I have the drafts.”
“Good, proceed as planned.” Came the cold reply from the other end.
Byrum then anonymously uploaded Sadie’s design drafts to the internet.
Meanwhile, at Wall Group’s headquarters, Noah concluded his work and left his office. He rubbed his temples, preparing to end the day.
