Chapter 608 Something Was Terribly Amiss

“Get a doctor, now” Jack’s voice thundered through the room, his face flushed with urgency.

The stunned servants jolted to attention, their momentary paralysis shattered. They scattered immediately, footsteps echoing down the hallway as they raced to summon the family physician.

Hailey’s body convulsed with violent coughs, her lungs fighting for air until she finally gulped down a ragged

breath

She crumpled onto the icy marble, her once–perfect appearance now in ruins–tangled hair splayed across her shoulders, silk robe twisted awkwardly around her trembling frame.

Mustering what dignity remained, she raised her chin to meet Noah’s towering presence. His eyes bored into hers, glacial and unforgiving, stripped of even a flicker of compassion.

The terror gripping her heart dissolved, crystallizing instead into a potent mixture of humiliation and bitter

resentment.

By what authority did he dare treat her this way? Was precious Sadie worth all this?

A smile twisted across Hailey’s lips–not one of joy, but a venomous curl that spoke of dangerous thoughts brewing beneath

“Noah, remember this,” she rasped, each word scraping through her throat yet fortified with the steel resolve of someone with nothing left to surrender.

“I saved your life! Three years ago at Rosewood Hospital, you would’ve been nothing but a corpse without me! You owe me your very existence! That debt follows you to your grave!”

She recognized this as her last remaining card to play. With calculated defiance, she thrust her chin upward, her gaze blazing with unwavering certainty.

“You accuse me of harming Sadie? Where’s your proof? What do these call logs actually demonstrate? Briley

and I share a friendship–since when is communication a crime? Will you condemn me based on flimsy papers? Hear me clearly. I refuse to take this blame!”

A sense of security washed over her. Noah lacked any tangible evidence— a strategic advantage she’d ensured

by keeping her own hands pristinely clean.

She had merely whispered poisonous suggestions into Briley’s ear–a woman already drowning in jealousy- through their seemingly innocent phone conversations.

She wouldn’t risk blood on her manicured fingertips when manipulation proved far more elegant. Deploying another’s hands for her schemes was brilliance itself. Her sole error lay in selecting such an incompetent

instrument for her plans.

“For your sake, it better be.” Noah’s voice cut through the air like a frozen blade, stripped of even a whisper of

human sentiment.

He turned around, each footstep purposeful as he marched toward the exit.

Hailey’s pathetic attempt at self–justification turned his stomach with disgust.

Noah halted at the threshold, his silhouette framed starkly against the doorway.

He swiveled his head, pinning the servants with a gaze so frigid they dared not even draw breath, their bodies frozen in place.

“Ms. Burgess is unwell. She requires complete home rest. Under no circumstances is she permitted to leave

these premises. Am I perfectly clear?”

His words sliced through the air–each syllable a precisely aimed dagger that pierced straight to the core.

Without another word, Noah strode from the villa, his departure absolute, his back a wall of finality.

Jack scrambled after him, not brave enough to linger even a moment longer in that suffocating atmosphere.

“Sir!” Jack panted as he matched Noah’s stride, anxiety threading through his voice like a fraying wire.

“That confrontation was dangerously impulsive! If Hailey suffers any harm, the Burgess Group will unleash their full arsenal against you! Ms. Hudson and Wall Group could become collateral damage in their vendetta!”

The terror still clung to Jack’s spine, an icy remnant of what he’d witnessed.

That deadly glint in Noah’s eyes had been chillingly real. Had his fingers tightened just a fraction more around

Hailey’s throat, they’d be facing catastrophic fallout beyond calculation.

Noah faltered mid–step. The red haze of rage had blinded his typically sharp reasoning, leaving his actions uncalculated and dangerous.

Hailey deserved death, yet her demise couldn’t come now- and certainly not with his fingerprints as evidence.

He pivoted toward Jack, the murderous storm in his gaze now receding to merely threatening clouds.

“Monitor her every move,” he instructed, his tone resuming its characteristic control, though now laced with an

undercurrent of frost.

“Though Hailey doesn’t seem directly involved in Sadie’s car accident, her fingerprints are somewhere on this.

scheme. Report every breath she takes, every call she makes, directly to me–no delays.”

The notion of Hailey’s innocence struck him as laughable. Her mind calculated moves like a chess master, her

heart as merciless as a winter storm.

“Consider it done,” Jack affirmed with a deferential nod, relief washing through him as Noah’s volcanic temper

cooled to manageable levels.

A hint of reassurance eased Noah’s shoulders as he approached his waiting vehicle, yanked open the door, and

slid into the leather interior.
