Chapter 477 A Visit To Ralph’s Place
Sadie looked like she was half–dead at this point. Briley stared at her and felt a fresh surge of anger.
What a despicable woman! Why wouldn’t she just give up pretending?
The thing was, although Alex had already slept with Briley, his heart belonged solely to Sadie.
There was nothing Briley wanted more than for her rival to disappear for good.
Her eyes flashed briefly with malice, but she plastered a concerned look on her face as she approached.
“Sadie, do your wounds still hurt?” Briley asked, her hand reaching for Sadie’s back.
A cold glint appeared in Sadie’s eyes. Such petty tricks were pathetic and laughable to her.
Just as Briley’s fingers were about to brush against her wounds, Sadie whipped around and shot out her arm.
A sharp, cracking sound echoed in the room as her palm landed on Briley’s cheek.
Briley’s eyes were wide with shock, her hand immediately coming up to cup her swelling cheek. “How dare you slap me!”
Sadie gave her a look that said she didn’t give a damn.
She grabbed the stock transfer contract from the table and flung it at Briley. A stray piece of paper drifted too close and cut
her other cheek with its corner, leaving a thin trail of blood on her skin.
“I’m warning you,” Sadie said in a chilling voice. “If I die here today, none of you is going to get away unscathed. The world
will think that you and your dear old father have driven me to death just to get your hands on the family assets, and they
wouldn’t be wrong. When that happens, what do you think is going to happen to the Wall Group’s stock price?”
Briley gritted her teeth. Though she loathed to admit it, she was intimidated by Sadie’s overwhelming presence.
Moreover, if Sadie did die here in Wall Manor, the outside world would surely suspect that they had orchestrated it in one
way or another.
Wall Group’s stock price would plummet, and it would possibly even attract regulatory investigations.
No, this wasn’t what Briley or Coyle wanted.
Still, she refused to back down. “Your words are nothing more than empty threats. They don’t scare me. The elders did
right to punish you after the disgrace you brought upon this family. It has nothing to do with us.”
Sadie sneered. “Is that so? You’d better hope that’s the case. Otherwise, I promise, I will haunt you even from the grave.”
Briley sputtered into silence, terrified by Sadie’s sinister gaze. Furious at her reaction, she turned on her heel and stormed
out of the room.

It wasn’t until Coyle hung up that he suddenly remembered something. “Where is your brother?

Coyle clicked his tongue and waved his hand dismissively. “Oh, let him do what he wants. Let’s not worry about him.”
That afternoon, Coyle arrived at Kaphe’s place with several gifts
The butler opened the door for him and his assistant, and they were led inside.
Ralph was resting in the living room with his eyes closed. When he heard the commotion at the foyer, his eyes flare ogen his gaze instantly sharp and discerning
Coyle forced a smile and approached respectfully. “I’ve long since admired you, Mr. Castro. It’s an honor to meet with you
today”
Ralph’s face remained blank, indifferent. “This is an unexpected visit, Mr. Wall.” He didn’t bother with pleasantries.
Coyle faltered, his smile turning awkward, but he recovered pretty quickly “Here, Mr. Castro,” he said warmly. Twe brought some gifts as a token of my respect and admiration. Please accept them.”
He signaled his assistant to come forward with the bags.
Ralph didn’t glance at the items. Instead, he turned to a nearby servant and waved his hand. “Show them out.”
This time, Coyle’s smile completely vanished, and his expression turned dark. He hadn’t expected Ralph to be so short
him
“Mr. Castro,” he said again, his tone firmer. “Perhaps you aren’t aware yet, but I am now the chairman of the Wall Group” He placed the stock transfer contract on the table. “Sadie signed it herself. Are you sure you want to keep that attitude around me?”
Coyle assumed that the old man would change his tune, if only for the company’s sake.
But Ralph only shot him a mocking smile “Do you think I’ve gone senile, just because I’m old? Do you think I don’t know your schemes? Have you forgotten that your father has banned you and your kids from leading the Wall Group
Coyle’s expression shifted at that, but he shamelessly plowed ahead. “Let’s be frank with each other, shall we? I came here with a proposition What do you think about our two families joining forces to manage Wall Group together?”
