Chapter 133 Misgiving
Sadie never expected Wall Group, a giant in the industry, to offer a partnership with her budding studio.
Just the previous day, her excitement had been so overwhelming that she neglected to inquire about the crucial detail-
who were their partners?
“Exactly, Miss Hudson! Wall Group! It’s the kind of chance most can only imagine,” Pierre exclaimed, unaware of the
change in Sadie’s expression.
“Our studio could skyrocket to incredible success with this deal!”
An unseen force seemed to constrict Sadie’s chest, making it difficult to breathe.
Wall Group. That implied Noah was involved.
After painstakingly rebuilding her life after her divorce, the last thing she wanted was any reconnection with him.
Sadie said with a strained voice, “Pierre, about this partnership… is it possible…. to back out?”
Pierre’s smile vanished.
“Back out? Miss Hudson, are you serious? We’re talking about Wall Group here!”
“I understand… but…” Sadie inhaled sharply. “It just doesn’t seem right for us. The penalty… can we afford it?” Sadie asked,
getting straight to the point.
Pierre’s expression darkened. “The penalty… unfortunately, it’s beyond our means…”
Sadie shut her eyes, taking another deep breath to steady herself.
Noticing Sadie’s distressed look, Pierre grasped the gravity of his mistake.
His voice shook as he murmured, “Miss Hudson… I’m so sorry… I thought this was an opportunity…”
“That’s alright, Pierre. I need to be alone to think this through.”
Relieved yet regretful, Pierre hurriedly exited the office.
Silence enveloped the room as Sadie remained alone, clutching the collaboration document so tightly that her nails threatened to pierce the paper.
With eyes closed, she allowed herself a moment of respite.
When she reopened them, her eyes had a newfound clarity.
She knew avoidance was not the solution. She needed to confront the issue, even if it was the last thing she wished to do.
Taking a deep breath, Sadie picked up her bag, resolved. She exited the studio and made her way directly to Wall Group.
The busy grand lobby of Wall Group buzzed with rushing people.

Yet, Sadie’s arrival halted many in their steps.
“Is that… Sadie?” someone murmured.
“Yes, that’s her! Wasn’t she supposed to be…?”
“Three years gone, and just like that, she returns?”
Speculations flew around the lobby like wildfire.
At that moment, Tina exited the elevator, catching sight of Sadie.
The file in Tina’s hand dropped with a clang, her expression one of shock.
“Sa… Sadie?”
Spotting Tina, Sadie managed a weak smile. “Tina.”
Rushing forward, Tina clutched Sadie’s arm, examining her closely.
