Chapter 341 Secrets
“Do it as soon as possible,” Noah commanded, his voice low and detached, carrying an unmistakable chill that brooked no
argument.
“Understood, Mr. Wall. I’ll take care of it immediately,” Samuel responded with respect, his voice coming through the
phone.
After he ended the call, his expression betrayed a moment of confusion.
He struggled to understand why Noah had suddenly instructed him to arrange a paternity test for Averi and Alex.
Shaking his head, Samuel decided not to ponder the reasons. His priority was to execute the task given to him.
He grabbed his coat, preparing to leave.
Just as he was about to exit, his phone vibrated with an incoming call.
The screen showed an unlisted number.
Samuel paused, then answered cautiously. “Hello. Who is this, please?”
“Mr. Ford, it’s me, Barnes Mabb, the specialist in reconstructing torn documents.” The voice on the other end was both
unfamiliar and unexpectedly enthusiastic.
“Specialist in reconstructing torn documents?” Samuel, momentarily caught off guard, asked. “What’s up?”
“Don’t you remember the torn–up paper you sent me last time, Mr. Ford?” Barnes reminded him quickly. “I hope you
haven’t forgotten!”
Samuel then remembered the incident. Previously, he had found a shredded document belonging to Kyla that seemed
suspicious, and he had sent it to an expert for reconstruction.
“Ah, right. I remember now,” Samuel said. “How is that going?”
“To be honest, I haven’t made much headway,” Barnes confessed apologetically. “The paper was torn into very small pieces,
and some parts are missing. It’s quite a challenge. I’ll need more time to complete it.”
“How much longer do you need?” Samuel inquired.
“It’s hard to say, Mr. Ford,” Barnes answered with hesitation. “I need at least another week.”
“Another week?” Samuel’s frown deepened.
“That’s the best I can do, Mr. Ford,” Barnes explained helplessly. “I’m already pushing the limits of my capabilities.”
“Fine.” Samuel sighed. “Just do your best.”
“OK, Mr. Ford. I’ll do my best,” Barnes assured him.
After ending the call, Samuel shook his head in frustration.

He decided to set the matter aside for now and concentrate on the task Noah had assigned him.
Sadie had just entered her studio and was yet to set down her bag when Nanette rushed in, breathless and frantic.
“Sadie! I’m so glad you’re here!”
Nanette leaned against the doorframe, panting heavily. Beads of sweat dotted her forehead, a testament to her rush.
Seeing her in such anxiety, Sadie quickly moved to support her, her expression marked with concern.
“What’s the matter, Nanette? What’s happened? Why are you in such a hurry? Look at you, you’re soaked in sweat.”
Nanette took several deep breaths before she could articulate her words. “Last… last night… Kyla… she asked to see me…”
“Kyla?” Sadie’s expression sharpened. “What did she want?”
Her voice chilled, tinged with suspicion.
Nanette managed to steady her breath and whispered, “She was asking about something…”
“What was it?” Sadie urged, her attention fixed.
Nanette swallowed hard, her voice barely audible. “She mentioned something went wrong with the major joint project
between Howe Group and Wall Group … and Mr. Wall… was blaming Howe Group…”
“What? Is that true?” Sadie’s face fell, her eyes widening with concern.
Though she wasn’t directly involved in the project, she was aware of its significance.
It was a massive undertaking, crucial to both families.
Alex was always meticulous. How could something have gone wrong?
And Noah wasn’t one to hastily oppose the Howe family. There must be deeper secrets involved.
A torrent of thoughts and concerns overwhelmed Sadie, leaving her feeling unsettled.
She took a deep breath, pulled out her phone, and dialed Alex.
“Beep… beep… beep…”
