Chapter 418 Leave Jazmah
Samuel placed the document on the desk in front of Noah.
Noah opened the file and skimmed through the report, his brows knitted into a frown.
“Tiana’s younger siblings were sponsored by a foreign company to complete their university education years ago. That
company was the Olson Group’s branch.”
Noah set the file down and sat back in his chair.
This piece of information wasn’t that unexpected, but he was not pleased nonetheless.
The Olson family certainly knew how to extend their reach.
“What’s the situation with the Quinn family?” Noah asked Samuel.
“The news broke early this morning. The Olson Group has the Quinn Group’s shares now, making Moses nothing more
than a figurehead chairman.”
“A coordinated scheme, huh?” Noah muttered, his lips curling into a mocking smile.
He sure had underestimated the Olson family.
They had used Vivi to work against Sadie, then eventually betrayed her and swallowed the Quinn Group in one go. Hit two birds with one stone, as the saying went, and they had executed that flawlessly.
Samuel shifted his weight and hesitated before asking, “How should we deal with the Olson family, Mr. Wall?”
Instead of answering him, Noah said, “I heard that the Olson family has set their sights on that piece of land in the north
of Jazmah. Is that right?”
“Yes.”
“Give it to the Jenkins family,” Noah instructed calmly.
Samuel immediately understood his boss’s intention.
The Jenkins family was the Olson family’s greatest rival. For years, the two forces had been locked in a subtle yet fierce battle, with neither side ever gaining the upper hand for long.
They had learned to use every trick in the book to undermine each other–behind the scenes, of course.
It wasn’t that long ago when the Olson family had orchestrated a scandal involving the Jenkins family heiress and a thug. The uproar that followed rocked the entire city and brought disgrace upon the Jenkins family.
If the Jenkins family secured the project in the north of the city, their influence would significantly increase, and they
would no doubt use the opportunity to retaliate against the Olson family.
Just like this, Noah would just be the one pulling strings behind the scenes.
“I’ll take care of it right away,” Samuel said, turning to leave. But when he reached the door, he hesitated again.

Chapter 418 Leave Jazmah
“Is there something else?” Noah called out, cocking his head to the side.
“Miss Wade has been restrained,” Samuel said warily. “But she keeps struggling and insists on seeing you. She keeps mentioning the debt you owed her for saving your life years ago.”
His voice was quiet. He knew all too well that Noah despised getting blackmailed using that one incident.
Sure enough, Noah scowled. “I’ll go see her, then.”
He stood from his chair and left the study with Samuel.
Minutes later, a taxi pulled up outside the Myrtlewood Estate. Laura stepped out, a gentle smile on her face, a thermos in hand.
She hadn’t been comfortable staying at Myrtlewood Estate, so she had moved back to her old apartment a few days ago.
Today, she had especially made some soup for Sadie, and she was just bringing some over.
Laura glanced at the car that had just driven away, then glanced at the thermos she was holding.
The soup wouldn’t taste good if it got cold.
Assuming that it was Sadie in the other car, Laura got back inside the taxi.
“Sir, please follow that car,” she said to the driver.
He wasted no time and stepped on the gas while Noah’s car was still within sight.
They trailed after Noah’s car as it drove down a secluded road and eventually stopped in front of a cafe.
Laura paid the fare, got out with her thermos, and quickly made her way to the cafe.
Just as she reached the entrance, she heard a heated argument coming from inside.
A sharp, familiar voice rang out- Kyla.
“Noah, you can’t treat me like this! Have you forgotten who saved you back then?” She sounded hoarse and desperate.
“If it weren’t for that debt, do you think you would still be alive right now?” Noah countered coldly. “When you tried to kill
Sadie three years ago, you were already dead to me.”
Kyla froze. Her eyes widened, and her trembling lips parted, but she couldn’t muster a single word.
So Noah knew everything? Her heart sank.
“Noah, I–I was wrong!”
