Chapter 479 Mr. Howe
Should Leave
Sutton remained quiet, casting a sharp glance at the subordinates behind him.
They understood the signal instantly and sprang into action.
Their movements were harsh and aggressive, leaving no doubt about their intent.
Sutton’s goal was clear–he wanted to degrade and torment Hailey in front of everyone.
With a keen interest, he positioned a camera to the side, carefully adjusting its angle.
It was only then that Hailey truly grasped what he was planning, and an overwhelming wave of fear washed over her.
“No, Sutton, please, don’t do this. I made a mistake–I admit it. I’ll do whatever you ask, I swear. We can work together again. I’ll even help you deal with Noah.”
Her voice wavered as she rambled desperately, saying anything that might change Sutton’s mind.
She was willing to do whatever it took to escape this nightmare.
Sutton shook his head, his expression devoid of warmth.
“Do you honestly think I’d trust you again, Hailey? You’ve deceived me over and over, treating me like a fool. You’ve been
out of control lately–it’s time you learned a lesson.”
Without another word, he signaled for his men to continue.
The next two hours were filled with Hailey’s anguished cries and the merciless laughter of those around her.
As time passed, her voice grew weaker until it was nothing more than a hoarse whisper.
Eventually, she stopped struggling altogether, sinking into complete despair.
Sutton watched it all through the lens of his camera, a satisfied smirk forming on his lips. As he reviewed the recording, he
sneered, “Next time you step out of line, I’ll make sure there’s more waiting for you.”
Hailey’s head snapped up, her eyes burning with fury. Her voice, though strained, was laced with venom.
“What more do you want? You already have something to use against me–what else could you possibly need?”
Sutton chuckled, clearly amused.
“Relax, you’ll be fine–as long as you obey. Play by my rules, and you’ll have all the wealth you could desire. I’ll contact you
when the time comes. Just follow instructions.”
With that, he turned and walked away, leaving Hailey alone in the hotel room.
She slowly shifted her gaze to the mirror. Bruises marred her skin, her appearance utterly ruined. Her fury simmered

beneath the surface.
Sutton–that despicable bastard.
Why hadn’t Noah finished him off when he had the chance?
Letting him live had been a grave mistake.
But if no one else would take care of him, she would.
Sutton had to die!
Her expression hardened as the murderous intent took root in her heart.
She quickly composed herself and returned to the suburban villa, arriving just as Noah was about to leave.
When he saw her, his expression remained impassive, as if she were a mere acquaintance.
“Noah, where are you going?” she asked, keeping her voice soft, trying to mask her turmoil.
“Just rest at home.” Noah’s tone was detached, uninterested.
Without waiting for a reply, he turned and walked out.
Unease crept into Hailey’s chest.
Noah’s demeanor had been increasingly distant lately.
Was he beginning to suspect something?
The thought sent a chill through her, but she forced herself to remain composed.
“Be careful on the road.”
Noah gave no response as he stepped into his car.
The sleek Maybach pulled away from the villa, leaving her standing at the entrance, her expression darkening
As the vehicle sped off, she turned and entered the house.
Meanwhile, Noah sat in the backseat of the car, eyes closed. Hailey’s face lingered in his mind. Her delicate makeup, her
practiced smile–it was the same as always.
And yet, he felt nothing.
Why?
His voice cut through the silence. “To Wall Manor.”
The driver nodded, and as the car changed course, Noah retrieved a silver mask, slipping it on without another word.
When he arrived at the grand estate, his sharp gaze landed on a familiar figure–Alex.
Before returning to the country, Noah had conducted thorough research.
The Howe family ranked just beneath the Walls in power, and word had it that Alex had never married, waiting all these
years for Sadie.
Alex’s eyes met Noah’s, his expression unreadable.

A moment later, the manor’s butler emerged.
Upon recognizing them, he stepped forward and addressed them with polite deference. “Mr. Noel, Mr. Howe, please come in.”
