Chapter 464 Ms. Hudson Is Missing

Sutton had just risen to his feet, his entire frame shaking as he gave a rapid nod.

“Dad, trust me. This time, I won’t fail you!”

Coyle scoffed sharply, relying on his cane as he stormed out of the room.

Sutton’s eyes fixated on the partnership agreement in his grasp.

Hailey! That wretched woman! He would make sure she paid!

He seized his phone and hastily punched in a number.

“Mr. Wall.” Came a deferential voice.

“Make sure Hailey understands what she’s up against,” Sutton instructed grimly.

Hailey was completely unaware that Sutton was planning to retaliate against her. Her attention was on Noah, who seemed

ready to leave,

“Noah, where are you headed?” she inquired with a hint of false concern.

Noah calmly reached for his jacket and replied calmly, “I’m going to meet Sadie.”

A shadow crossed Hailey’s expression at the mention of Sadie’s name, but she quickly masked it with a soft smile.

“Mind if I join you?” she asked carefully, her tone laced with hope.

Noah hesitated briefly, eyeing her as though weighing his options.

Hailey’s pulse quickened.

She wanted to see if Noah’s attitude toward Sadie had softened.

To protect her own interests, she needed to know whether Noah’s loyalty remained with her.

After a pause, he gave a small nod,

“Alright, let’s go together.”

Relief and excitement surged through Hailey as she beamed,

“Thank you, Noah,” she replied sweetly, linking her arm with his.

Soon, they arrived at George’s Restaurant, greeted by its refined atmosphere and mellow tunes.

A waiter promptly approached and led them to their table.

Hailey glanced around, but Sadie was nowhere in sight.

Strange… Was Sadie running late?

Noah settled into his chair with quiet confidence, exuding poise.

Hailey mirrored him, though an uneasy feeling tugged at her.

Something was definitely off.

“Noah, I need to use the restroom,” she said suddenly,

He gave a slight nod.

“Sure.”

Hailey rose and headed toward the ladies‘ room, which was outside the restaurant.

At that moment, Sadie emerged from one of the stalls, neither aware of the other’s presence–or of the eyes lurking nearby.

The men watching mistook Sadie for Hailey, given her matching silhouette and features from the photo.

Without delay, the group sprang into action.

The leader of the goons lunged forward, swiftly clamping a hand over Sadie’s mouth.

Her eyes widened in terror, as she tried to process the sudden attack.

A pungent chemical scent suddenly flooded her senses.

Oh no! Panic flared–she knew she was in trouble.

Sadie fought to scream, but the grip was too strong, and no sound escaped.

Within seconds, the drug took hold.

The world spun, her vision darkened, and strength drained from her body..

She wanted to resist but had no strength left.

Helpless, she was dragged away.

Meanwhile, Samuel had been waiting outside the restroom, anxiously glancing at his watch.

Sadie had yet to reappear, and his unease steadily deepened. His steps grew restless as he paced.

By all accounts, she shouldn’t have been inside for this long. Had something gone wrong?

Torn between concern and propriety, he wanted to check inside but hesitated–it was the women’s restroom, after all.

While caught in indecision, a woman exited the restroom.

Samuel swiftly approached her with polite urgency.

“Pardon me,” he began respectfully, “did you happen to notice a striking young lady inside?”

The woman blinked, momentarily confused.

“A young lady?” she echoed. “No, there is no one in there now.”

Samuel’s stomach dropped.

“Are you certain?” he pressed, voice tighter. “No one at all?”

She nodded, brows furrowed. “Positive. I was the only one.”
