Chapter 621 Why Would Noah Dispatch Jack To…
Outside Rosehill Apartments, an inconspicuous black sedan lurked in the shadows, its engine silent.
Inside, Jack massaged his stiff neck and flicked his gaze toward his watch for the dozenth time.
He had been stationed here for nearly three hours without seeing a single person from Sadie’s team.
Jack struggled to comprehend his boss’s cryptic instructions, their purpose eluding him.
His boss’s voice on the phone earlier had been ice–cold, vibrating with the restrained fury of a man ready to dismember someone with his bare hands.
Curiosity gnawed at Jack about what Sadie had done to warrant such extreme measures from his boss- surveillance, investigation of contacts–what game was she playing this time?
A hollow ache filled Jack’s belly, his stomach rumbling in loud protest against the prolonged stakeout.
He stretched his cramped limbs, joints popping in the confined space of the sedan.
With a sigh, he pushed open the car door, desperate for a quick bite from the convenience store gleaming at
the corner.
Just then, two sleek black luxury cars glided into view, moving with deliberate purpose toward the gate of the
community.
Jack froze mid–movement, his gaze instantly sharpening like a predator spotting prey.
The license plates flashed recognition in his mind–Wall Group’s vehicles!
A cocktail of excitement and dread surged through his veins, electrifying every nerve.
He dove back into the car, slammed the door, and fired up the engine in one fluid, practiced motion.
The sequence unfolded with the precision of a veteran operative–lightning–fast and ghostly quiet.
With calculated movements, he adjusted the wheel and maintained a shadow’s distance as he tailed the luxury cars into the community.
Meanwhile, in the lead car, Samuel caught the reflection of the black sedan trailing them in his re his trained eyes missing nothing.

His brow furrowed. “We have a tail. Prepare to engage if necessary,” he instructed, voice clipped and professional.
The bodyguard shifted in his seat, eyes narrowing at the reflection in the mirror. After a moment of deliberation, he turned to Samuel. “Mr. Ford,” he said gravely, “I recognize that vehicle–it’s Mr. Noel’s.”

<Chapter 621 Why Would Noah Dispatch Jack To Trail Samuel’s Movements
Samuel’s composed facade cracked momentarily at this revelation.
He scrutinized the license plate in the mirror again, confirming the suspicions.
It was unmistakably Patrick’s vehicle–no room for doubt.
Why would Patrick dispatch his people to shadow them?
Had their operation been compromised?
Samuel’s mind churned through a labyrinth of alarming possibilities.
Sadie’s instructions had been crystal clear–their passenger’s identity must remain shrouded in absolute
secrecy.
Their mission demanded impenetrable security at all costs.
Deviation from these orders was simply not an option.
After a weighted pause, Samuel broke the tension, his voice measured and deliberate.
“If confrontation becomes inevitable, act decisively but remember–Mr. Noel’s people are not to be harmed,” he
commanded.
The alliance between Wall Group and Burgess Group remained too valuable; a fallout would serve neither party’s interests.
If Patrick’s people were merely probing out of curiosity, a warning would suffice to send them scurrying away. Should they persist, however, more… persuasive measures might become necessary.
“Understood, sir,” came the terse reply.
The procession of vehicles descended into the cavernous underground parking garage, headlights cutting through the dimness.
The moment the vehicles halted, the second car’s doors burst open, disgorging several black–suited bodyguards who materialized like shadows in motion.
They fanned out with military precision, creating a protective semi–circle, their vigilant gazes sweeping the area for potential threats.
Samuel emerged from his vehicle with purposeful efficiency and strode directly to the second car, shoulders squared.
He swung open the rear door with a deferential gesture, revealing an elderly woman in modest attire who carefully stepped out.
From his vantage point nearby, Jack observed the tableau unfold with bated breath.
Who was this unassuming elderly woman?
Her advanced age and simple dress contradicted every expectation of Sadie’s typical high–powered business associates.
Could this be some long–lost relative of Sadie’s?

Chapter 621 Why Would Noah Dispatch Jack To Trail Samuel’s Movernments
But why orchestrate such elaborate security measures to transport an old woman?
Questions multiplied in Jack’s mind like cells dividing, each spawning more uncertainties.
As Samuel ushered the woman briskly toward the elevator, Jack calculated his window of opportunity to trail
them undetected.
Suddenly, the whisper of approaching footsteps shattered his concentratio
Jack whirled around to find his vehicle encircled by stone–faced bodyguards, their presence materializing as if
from thin air.
