Chapter 541 The Wedding

Date

Noah thought for a while, his eyes distant and unreadable.

“Schedule a meeting with Jarrett for tomorrow,” he commanded.

Since Sadie had sided with Nathan, Noah decided to see Jarrett first.

Gaining insight into their adversary was essential for navigating the storm ahead.

“Understood, sir,” Jack replied, already turning to carry out the task.

But Noah halted him. “Hold on,” he added, his tone softening. “Tell the kitchen to whip up something for a hangover–send it to Ms. Hudson’s suite. Don’t say who sent it.”

Though taken aback, Jack lowered his head obediently and said, “Of course, sir.”

He couldn’t help but privately marvel at Noah’s actions.

Despite his claim of keeping his distance, Noah’s gestures betrayed a lingering tenderness toward Sadie. His subtle and somewhat clumsy concern painted a picture of quiet sorrow.

After leaving the banquet at the Splendor Hotel, Daren made his way to the Higgins family’s home hastily.

The earlier scene in the private lounge replayed in his mind, making him wince.

What troubled him more was how informed Jarrett was.

With trepidation twisting his gut, Daren stepped into the living room and immediately saw the man in a wheelchair.

Jarrett, facing the darkness beyond the glass, radiated a chilling presence that discouraged any approach.

Wiping his brow, Daren edged forward with caution.

The evening had been a complete disaster–not only was the deal with Wall Group hanging by a thread, but the Higgins name had taken a blow. He had to make things right.

“Mr. Higgins,” Daren began, “there was a slight hiccup earlier that caused delays. The paperwork with Wall Group remains unsigned.”

Watching closely for a reaction, he quickly tacked on, “That said, everything’s squared away with Ms. Hudson. Just her signature is missing. Give me one day–no, half a day! By noon tomorrow, I’ll deliver the finalized contract.”

He kept his voice level, steering clear of any mention of his sister’s scandalous entanglement with Nathan.

Jarrett slowly pivoted his chair to face him, his complexion pale, his expression unreadable–yet it sent a sharp chill down Daren’s spine.

Without a word, Jarrett flung a photograph onto the table.

The image, clearly taken without notice, showed Nathan stepping out of a hotel, a smirk stretched across his face, with his loud pink vehicle in the background.

As Daren’s eyes fell on it, his breath caught.

That hotel was where Sadie was staying! Nathan had been there? When? Was it possible…?

Panic surged through him. Sweat gathered once again at his temples.

Jarrett’s lips curled into a cold, venomous smile. “My brother didn’t waste a second. He’s moved ahead of us. We’re running out of time.”

His stare pinned Daren in place, the weight of unspoken expectations heavy in the air. “Tomorrow, no excuses–Sadie must sign the contract. If Nathan secures the deal first… I assume you grasp the consequences.”

Daren shivered under the pressure. Jarrett’s order was unequivocal.

The rivalry between the Higgins siblings was no secret.

Although Jarrett held the rightful claim to the CEO position, his disability had diminished his sway in company affairs.

Nathan, while notorious for his careless lifestyle, had charisma and unpredictability on his side–two things the younger board members gravitated toward.

Should Nathan pull off a partnership with Wall Group and seize control of the energy venture, Jarrett’s hold on power would slip further.

Still, Daren wavered.

Nathan was little more than a privileged young man with minimal clout and a frivolous reputation.

Sadie, head of Wall Group, was sharp and shrewd. Why would she align with someone like Nathan when Jarrett–despite his flaws–offered real influence? What would she gain from such a decision?

“Mr. Higgins, we reached an understanding with Ms. Hudson, and the details have already been finalized. As the head of Wall Group, Ms. Hudson isn’t one to backtrack on decisions, is she?” Daren expressed hesitantly, gauging the circumstances.

A trace of annoyance flashed across Jarrett’s expression. His eyes sharpened, and a dry laugh escaped his lips. “You underestimate my brother. Since he dared get close to Sadie, he must be confident in whatever leverage he holds.”

It was clear Jarrett had no interest in continuing the discussion. “Do as I’ve instructed. When it’s over, you will gain

significantly.”
