?Chapter 818:


    Hailey had saved his life, a fact that had been drilled into him since he woke up. But recalling Sadie’s defiant look and Averi’s gentle voice calling him “Dad,” he couldn’t bring himself to fulfill Hailey’s ridiculous demand.


    Acknowledging another man’s child would dishonor both Hailey and himself.


    It was utterly inconceivable.


    He tugged at his tie in frustration.


    Just then, his phone rang. It was Jack, his assistant.


    He answered, his voice tinged with exhaustion.


    “Speak.”


    “Mr. Noel.”


    Jack’s voice was as respectful as ever through the receiver.


    “You asked me to investigate Ms. Hudson’s past. I’ve found something.”


    Noah’s expression hardened, and he sat up straight. His grip on the phone tightened.


    “Go on.”


    Jack paused, seemingly organizing his thoughts.


    “I spoke with an old servant from Wall Manor. She revealed that Ms. Hudson was secretly married to Mr. Noah Wall, the former CEO of Wall Group, nine years ago.”


    Noah’s breath hitched.


    Jack continued,


    “About six years ago, rumors of their impending divorce circted, apparently due to a woman named K Wade returning to the country. Shortly after, Ms. Hudson moved to Zupren to attend Majestic Ego Design Academy. She was there for three years before she came back.”


    A sharp pain shot through Noah’s chest as he heard this.


    K.


    The name seemed familiar, yet elusive.

    But a wave of revulsion rose within him.


    He asked, his voice low and steady,


    “Where is K now?”


    Jack hesitated before replying bluntly,


    “K died three years ago, ording to records. However, K had a close friend named Vivi Quinn. She orchestrated the car ident that left youatose three years ago. She’s currently in prison.”


    Noah clenched his fists.


    He was determined to uncover the truth.


    “Jack, set up a meeting. I need to see Vivi as soon as possible.”
