Chapter 452 Humiliation
“Mr. Wall, shall we return to Wall Manor now?” the assistant asked quietly.
Coyle, seething with anger, abruptly lifted his cane and struck the assistant’s leg harshly.
“Do you need to ask that? Didn’t you hear her say she would remove us from the family if we don’t return to the Wall
Manor?”
The assistant grimaced in pain but remained silent, quickly wheeling Coyle out of the meeting room.
Coyle tried to curb his fury, reassuring himself. Noah was gone, and Sadie would likely resign as chairwoman in three days.
Then, he would see if she remained so bold!
Meanwhile, Sadie was back in her office.
“Ms. Hudson, was that too impulsive in the meeting?” Samuel inquired, his tone laced with concern.
They hadn’t figured out the situation with Patrick yet, and promising a resolution in three days was a gamble.
What if they failed?
Sadie understood his worries.
She sighed.
“Do we have any other option to keep the shareholders in check?”
Samuel fell silent.
They were indeed cornered, with no room to retreat.
Just then, Tina entered with a document.
“Sadie, here’s Mr. Noel’s schedule for the next week. Hailey has been in contact with Sutton, but Mr. Noel hasn’t made any
moves.”
Sadie quickly reviewed the document.
“Go to Colnoque and bring Mr. Castro back to the Wall Group,” she instructed Samuel.
Samuel grasped her plan immediately.
Sadie was trying to secure a backup.
Ralph Castro had been a quiet supporter for the past three years and was an original member of the Wall Group alongside
Nigel and Absolon.
If things didn’t pan out with Patrick, Ralph’s return would ease the situation.
“Understood, Ms. Hudson.”

Samuel recognized the urgency and departed swiftly.
Exhausted, Sadie leaned back, her eyes closed, the recent days‘ events weighing heavily on her.
She massaged her temples, trying to find calm.
Now was not the time for grief.
She secluded herself in her office, tirelessly working through documents to distract herself from her sorrow.
Concerned for Sadie’s well–being. Tina poured a cup of coffee, knocked gently, and stepped inside.
“Sadie, take a break. You’ve been working non–stop,” Tina whispered gently.
Sadie looked up, her expression slightly weary yet determined.
“Thanks, Tina, but I’m fine,” she replied.
Then, something seemed to click in her memory.
“Actually, prepare to join me at the Glory Jewelry Exhibition later. I remembered Mr. Noel is expected to be there.”
Tina nodded and started to organize Sadie’s files.
As they were about to leave, Samuel called.
“Ms. Hudson, Mr. Castro has agreed to come back,” he announced, his voice tinged with excitement. “He’s already en route
and will be in Jazmah by tomorrow morning.”
This news slightly eased Sadie’s strained nerves.
“Good. Thanks, Samuel.”
“Oh, and one more thing,” Samuel added quickly, as though she had just remembered. “Mr. Castro is bringing an old friend
along as a surprise for you.”
Sadie was intrigued.
Her mind teemed with questions, but she decided to wait until the next day for answers.
Sadie and Tina then arrived at the Glory Jewelry Exhibition.
Rachael Howard, the organizer, greeted her with a playful remark.
“Sadie? I thought you were too busy for my little exhibition.”
Sadie smiled, remembering their time at the international jewelry competition three years earlier.
“I managed to make some time today,” she responded sincerely.
“I was only teasing. I’m thrilled you’re here,” Rachael said before linking arms with Sadie. “Let me show you around.”
As they walked, Sadie gave Tina a discreet look.
Tina caught on immediately and veered off in a different direction.
The exhibition venue was expansive, and as Rachael guided her through it, Sadie responded to her chatter with only half
