Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 534

Chapter 534 Where Is Sadie

Blaine was dressed in his signature tailored, but casual suit, and his face wore his customary, sardonic grin.

He took one look at Noah seated at the long table, raised an eyebrow, and let out a cheeky whistle.

“Mr. Noel! It looks like you were finally able to spare us some of your precious time.”

His tone didn’t carry the respect one would normally give to the chairman of their partner company.

Noah’s gaze drifted past Blaine and Samuel and to the still open doorway behind them.

It was empty. Sadie wasn’t there.

Noah slowly lowered his eyes to conceal his disappointment.

Samuel sensed the shift in the atmosphere and was momentarily at a loss on how to respond.

In the end, he maintained a professional smile.

“Apologies for keeping you waiting, Mr. Noel,” he said, stepping forward. “Ms. Hudson has given us her instructions earlier

today. With regard to the construction of the factory in the east of the city, the Wall Group will fully delegate the

responsibility to Mr. Castro moving forward.”

Noah’s eyes darted up

and landed heavily on Samuel.

*What does Ms. Hudson mean by doing this, sending a flippant general manager to oversee such a crucial project? Does she

think the Burgess Group isn’t worth her personal attention? What does she take us for?”

Despite the calm in his tone, the underlying threat was there.

Samuel’s face showed a hint of unease.

He had expected that Patrick would be difficult to deal with, but that didn’t make his work any easier.

He braced himself and relayed the rest of Sadie’s message. “You are misunderstanding, Mr. Noel. That’s not what Ms.

Hudson thinks at all. She did say that if the Burgess Group has any objections to the current arrangement, you are free to terminate the existing partnership at any time.”

Noah’s hands clenched around the armrests of his chair. He used so much force that his knuckles turned white.

Was Sadie really going to such lengths just to avoid him?

That inexplicable irritation rose in his chest again.

Noah fixed his narrowed gaze on Samuel, his voice growing colder with every word. “Where is Sadie?”

Samuel bravely met his stare, though he inwardly groaned in helpless frustration.

He shook his head and answered truthfully, “Ms. Hudson flew to Beversea early this morning. There’s an important

collaboration project with Johnson Group that requires her presence. She likely won’t be back for a few days.”

Noah’s chest tightened even further.

He stood abruptly. “Since Ms. Hudson isn’t here, the collaboration can wait until she returns.”

He didn’t wait for either men to respond and exited the room with long, resolute strides.

Samuel and Blaine exchanged a glance as Noah left, both a little confused.

Blaine cupped his chin, his carefree expression giving way to a pensive one. Patrick’s attitude toward Sadie was clearly…

Special.

Only then did he realize that Patrick had completely ignored him. Not once had Patrick acknowledged his presence!

Beside him, Samuel heaved sigh after sigh.

He shared Blaine’s thoughts–Patrick’s behavior wasn’t about the collaboration; it was about Sadie herself.

For now, however, they could only tackle things one at a time.

Noah stormed out of the building and got into his car.

“To Beversea,” he barked, slamming the car door as he slipped into the back seat.

Jack’s grip on the steering wheel faltered.

What was going on with his boss now? Why the sudden decision to go to Beversea?

He didn’t dare to ask these out loud, of course, and simply started the engine.
