Chapter 546 A Shocking
Announcement
The pressure that had gripped the living room seemed to lift momentarily.
At that instant, rapid footsteps pounded from outside.
The Higgins family’s butler burst in, nearly stumbling as he entered. Alarm contorted his features, his tie hanging
crookedly.
“Sir! Bad news!” he blurted, nearly breathless.
Jarrett’s expression hardened, his forehead creasing in irritation. “Compose yourself! This is unacceptable!”
Too rattled to even dab away the perspiration trickling down his face, the butler looked ready to collapse.
“Mr. Higgins, the Wall Group issued an announcement–publicly, through their official press network. They claim Ms. Sadie
Hudson and Nathan are in love and are getting married! The news is already spreading like wildfire!”
Instantly, the energy in the room shifted violently.
Noah, his face hidden behind a mask, gave nothing away–but the air around him turned glacial.
Jarrett’s fingers tightened around his coffee cup.
Daren stood there, utterly thunderstruck.
Crash! The ceramic shattered against the floor as Jarrett hurled the cup, shards scattering across the floor. Rage twisted his features into something terrifying.
“So my dear brother plans to marry into the Wall family? All this in just forty–eight hours?” he hissed, his jaw clenched.
Daren blinked in disbelief. Nathan? Tying the knot with the chairwoman of the Wall Group? It felt surreal.
Should that wedding happen, Nathan’s status would skyrocket overnight. Backed by one of the country’s most influential
corporations, he’d become untouchable.
And those fickle elders who once pledged loyalty to Jarrett would most certainly shift allegiance. The inheritance Jarrett
thought secure might suddenly be in jeopardy.
Panic sparked inside Daren. Was it time to reconsider his loyalty? Could he really bet his future on a man confined by
disability?
Swallowing his fury, Jarrett slowly turned to face the unmoving figure beside him. “Mr. Noel, what’s your take?”
Noah’s hand curled slightly on his thigh, though his demeanor didn’t waver.
He gave a ghost of a smile–empty, sharp as frost.

“Your brother is certainly daring” he said, voice level and unshaken
“But remember, Sadie still bears the name of Noah Wall’s spouse. From what I gather, the elders in your family aren’t likely to endorse this union. And Sadie has a cousin–in–law, Briley Wall–don’t underestimate her. So don’t lose sleep just yet, Mr.
Higgins.”
Jarrett listened, the gears in his mind spinning The Wall lineage had always been tangled–a web of politics and private
wars
Yet, wasn’t Noah dead? What sway could a ghost possibly hold in the affairs of the living?
Without another word, Noah stood. The force he radiated felt crushing, as though the atmosphere itself bent around him.
No one dared meet his eyes.
“I have matters to attend to. I’ll take my leave.” And with that, he exited, each step deliberate, unhurried.
Jarrett exhaled shakily, shaken by the sheer dominance Noah carried. His brows knitted together.
Why had Patrick come here to say all that? Was it a gesture of goodwill? Or perhaps… something else?
A realization dawned–what if Patrick harbored feelings for Sadie?
His tone, when he was discussing her… it hadn’t been neutral. There had been a hint of something–unspoken, but present.
It now seemed quite possible.
Still, Nathan remained the pressing threat. Jarrett shook the thought off, his eyes darkening with intensity.
He turned sharply to Daren, who still hadn’t recovered. “Assign someone to track Nathan’s actions. And set up a private meeting with Ms. Hudson.”
Daren blinked, confused. “You want to meet her… personally?”
Jarrett’s glare sliced through him. “What do you think I mean?”
