Chapter 536 Did You Come
To Beversea For Him
Nathan came to a stop just behind Sadie, leaning in with casual audacity.
A faint trail of cologne mixed with the tang of liquor drifted toward her.
Sadie was listening to a business partner, her focus unwavering–until the subtle disruption drew her attention.
She frowned instinctively, turning to see who dared interrupt her only to come face to face with a teasing gaze.
The effect was immediate. The business partners she’d been speaking with just moments ago visibly stiffened upon seeing Nathan. They mumbled excuses and all but fled.
Sadie didn’t need an introduction. She’d heard plenty about Nathan–the unruly heir of the powerful Higgins family in
Beversea.
Their influence ran deep, and his reputation ran wild. Exactly the kind of man she had no patience for.
Without a word, she pivoted, not even offering the courtesy of a nod.
Nathan blinked, clearly taken aback by her frosty dismissal.
But rather than offended, he looked intrigued. The corners of his mouth curled into a slow, deliberate smile, his interest clearly piqued.
Nathan extended an arm smoothly across her path, that signature mischievous smile playing on his lips–the kind that had likely opened too many doors with too little effort.
“Come on, Ms. Hudson, don’t be so cold,” he said, reaching casually as if to take her by the arm.
Sadie’s eyes narrowed.
She shifted, ready to dodge him–but someone else moved first.
A hand shot out from behind her–strong, deliberate–and seized Nathan’s wrist mid–motion. In one swift motion, it twisted sharply.
Crack.
“Ah!”
Nathan sucked in a breath, the charm draining from his face in an instant. His smile vanished, replaced by a grimace of pain.
Sadie turned, startled.
Noah?

He stood there like a shadow forged from steel–imposing, still. A cold, metallic mask covered most of his face, leaving only
those eyes visible–dark, unreadable, and chillingly calm.
What was he doing here?
His gaze locked onto Nathan’s, his grip unmoving.
The air around him seemed to compress, heavy with silent authority.
“Mr. Higgins, before you lay a hand on someone, make sure you can see clearly,” he said flatly, his voice like winter steel.
“And make sure you can handle what comes next.”
A single drop of sweat slid down Nathan’s temple.
Nathan looked up, a sharp chill creeping into his chest.
The rumors had circulated for years–of the elusive Patrick from Burgess Group, a man who never revealed his face, always
concealed behind a mask.
Ruthless. Calculated. Unshakable.
And now, standing before him, was a man who matched every whispered detail.
The aura Noah exuded was undeniable–too controlled, too cold, too dangerous to be dismissed.
Nathan forced a strained smile, sweat beginning to bead at his temple. He raised both hands slightly, as though to
surrender.
“Mr. Noel, it’s a misunderstanding,” he said lightly. “Just a harmless joke with Ms. Hudson, nothing more.”
He wasn’t about to challenge someone like this–not over ego. Not tonight.
Noah stared him down with thinly veiled disdain. Then, with a flick of his wrist, he let go–as if discarding something
unworthy of his time.
He turned to Sadie, his attention shifting like a silent command.
Without warning, he took her wrist in his hand.
“Ms. Hudson, I need a word. In private,” he said coolly, his voice cutting through the murmurs around them.
Then, to the surrounding crowd, he added, “Please, excuse us.”
Nathan remained behind, rubbing his wrist and narrowing his eyes, watching the two disappear.
That wasn’t a business acquaintance.
Noah’s protectiveness was too quick. Too personal.
Their relationship? Interesting.
Meanwhile, Noah’s grip was unrelenting. His strides were swift and Sadie struggled to keep pace, wincing as his grip bit
into her skin.
“Let go,” she snapped, twisting slightly. “You’re hurting me.”
Sadie raised her voice at Noah.
Noah didn’t respond–not immediately. He kept walking, silent and relentless, until they reached a deserted corridor
