Chapter 50 Could She Be With Him
“They… they made me do things…” The woman’s voice trembled, each word a broken shard of terror.
Sadie listened patiently, slowly reconstructing the chaos of events.
Inside the private room, a man in his forties reigned supreme, a center of gravity around which every sycophant swirled.
Drink–sellers were coerced by these sycophants into performing provocative acts, yet the man in the center didn’t seem interested.
“He didn’t even look at me…” The woman sobbed, her anguish deepening. “They told me I was worthless… then discarded me like refuse.”
In that moment, Sadie was convinced Roy was a man of principles; if she could avoid those sycophants surrounding him and talk to him directly, she’d face far less peril.
Exiting the Night Owl Bar, Sadie lingered at the entrance, her eyes scanning every departing silhouette, determined not to miss sight of Roy.
The cool night wind whispered over her exposed skin, teasing stray hairs on her forehead.
Even in the murk of night, Sadie’s beauty shone unmistakably a silent magnet drawing attention from every corner.
A man with glossy hair and an ostentatious flair stepped forward and flirtatiously said, “My dear, would you care to join me for a drink inside? Just name your price.”
Sadie merely shook her head, her voice cool and unyielding. “I’m afraid I must decline–I’m awaiting someone.”

The man’s expression darkened as he snapped, “Why do you have to play hard to get?”
When he lunged forward, attempting to seize Sadie and pull her into the bar, her alarm surged.
In a burst of defiance, she declared, “This is a public place; stop making a scene!”
A harsh laugh escaped the man as he sneered. “You parade your allure openly–why act so righteous? Attend to me, and your rewards shall be generous.”
Undeterred, he reached out once more, his eyes glinting with greed and desire.
But Sadie fought back fiercely–a resounding slap crashing into his leering face.
The man staggered, his shock quickly turning to rage as he shouted, “Damn, you bitch–how dare you hit me?”
Enraged, he roughly grabbed Sadie’s neck, pinning her hard against a nearby car.
A crushing wave of suffocation hit her; she struggled for breath as her vision began to blur.

Then, one of the man’s companions, looking terrified, warned him, “Mr. Natt, that suit she’s wearing looks custom–made.
Only Noah Wall would have one like that. Could she… could she be with him?”
Jorma Natt paused, his grip loosening ever so slightly.
