Coyle’s assistant, Terrell Odom, shouted desperately, his voice cracking as tears threatened to spill.

At that exact moment, the ward door swung open quietly.

Sadie stood calmly in the doorway, her composed gaze sweeping across the room, pausing briefly as she took in the scene.

On the bed, Coyle lay barely clinging to consciousness, his pale face contorted in pain, eyes squeezed shut, only the faint rise and fall of his chest indicating he still drew breath.

Terrell froze, utterly stunned by Sadie’s unexpected arrival.

His eyes widened, fingers shaking nervously. Why was she here now? What was her intention?

His mind went blank, panic surging within him, immobilizing him completely.

Sadie’s lips curled into a subtle yet mocking smile as her eyes fell upon Terrell.

“What are you waiting for? Shouldn’t you be fetching a doctor? Your boss looks like he’s on the verge of death.”

Her voice carried a deceptive sweetness edged sharply with sarcasm.

Terrell, relieved to be given a reason to flee, hastily scrambled from the room.

With deliberate steps, Sadie approached Coyle’s bedside.

She paused at Coyle’s bedside, gazing down with a composed, almost serene expression. Her voice was soft, deceptively

pleasant, as she gently inquired, “How are you feeling now, Coyle?”

At the sound of her voice, Coyle’s eyelids twitched violently. With immense effort, he forced them open, locking his

bloodshot, venomous stare onto hers.

His body shook uncontrollably, lips trembling as he forced out a bitter, broken whisper.

“You vile woman… you’ll suffer a miserable end.”

Sadie didn’t bother responding–there was little point arguing with someone who was barely hanging onto life.

Instead, she calmly retrieved a document from her bag.

It was an official letter from Alex’s lawyer.

With practiced ease, she placed it neatly on the bedside table.

“Oh, and there’s something else I nearly forgot to tell you,” she continued softly, a faint chill edging into her voice.

“Briley has been officially expelled from the Wall family due to her reckless behavior and the disgrace she’s brought upon

us.”

Her words hit like a devastating strike, crushing whatever fight remained in Coyle’s weakened body.

His eyes bulged, breath suddenly hitching, panic and fury tangling in his throat as he desperately gasped for air.

He opened his mouth, struggling to utter a curse that never fully materialized, yet Sadie read his lips perfectly.

“You… wretched woman…”

Just then, a team of doctors and nurses hurriedly burst into the room, immediately surrounding Coyle’s bed.

The lead physician swiftly examined him, expression turning grim after only moments.

He straightened up, his voice solemn as he explained, “The patient’s severe emotional agitation has caused a rupture of the cerebral blood vessels.”

“Coyle–you’ve just suffered a major stroke.” Sadie’s composed smile remained firmly in place, though a flicker of mock concern briefly touched her eyes.

Reaching out, she gently patted Coyle’s trembling shoulder.

“Rest up, Coyle. You don’t need to worry about anything else,” she said softly, her voice soothing yet coldly triumphant. “The company is safe in my hands now. I’ll take good care of it.”

Without bothering to spare another glance at Coyle’s livid, helpless form, Sadie turned and strode calmly from the room.

Outside in the corridor, Samuel was pacing nervously, anxiety etched deeply into his features.

The moment he caught sight of Sadie, he quickly approached, lowering his voice as he relayed urgent news. “Ms. Hudson, Sutton was found dead–his body was discovered by police at Eastwood Mountain.”

Sadie’s brows knitted slightly in surprise, her footsteps coming to a halt as the gravity of the situation sank in.

“Dead?” Her voice turned grave. “What exactly happened?”

She had been aware of Sutton’s disappearance–but how did he end up dead?

Samuel shook his head solemnly.

“The details aren’t clear yet. The police have sealed off the area and started their investigation.”

He hesitated briefly before adding, “Mr. Blaine Castro is already on–site.”

Sadie paused thoughtfully, a dark suspicion beginning to form in her mind.

Sutton’s death–it was undoubtedly suspicious. At this critical moment, there was no room for mistakes.

“We need to get there immediately,” Sadie said firmly, stepping swiftly into the car waiting outside the hospital.

Samuel quickly followed, settling beside her.

The car promptly merged into the bustling traffic, disappearing among the city’s vehicles.

Unnoticed, a sleek black sedan started silently from a discreet distance behind them.

Inside the car sat Noah. He carefully removed his mask, unveiling a striking yet weary face.

He’d visited the hospital merely for a routine check–up, never expecting to catch sight of Sadie.

Seeing her there, clearly unsettled and in a hurry, sparked something restless within him.

Something was wrong–very wrong

After a moment’s hesitation, he instructed his driver calmly yet firmly, “Follow that car!”

With a nod, the driver subtly shifted lanes, quietly trailing Sadie’s car at a safe distance.

Half an hour later, Sadie’s vehicle pulled to a halt outside Eastwood Police Station. She stepped out gracefully, her eyes briefly settling on the station’s prominent sign.

Inside, Blaine stood conversing urgently with several police officers, his expression visibly tense.

Spotting her arrival, Blaine quickly excused himself and approached, concern evident in his voice.
