?Chapter 835:


    Beside him, Samuel heaved sigh after sigh.


    He shared ine’s thoughts—Patrick’s behavior wasn’t about the coboration; it was about Sadie herself.


    For now, however, they could only tackle things one at a time.


    Noah stormed out of the building and got into his car.


    “To Beversea,” he barked, mming the car door as he slipped into the back seat.


    Jack’s grip on the steering wheel faltered.


    What was going on with his boss now? Why the sudden decision to go to Beversea?


    He didn’t dare ask these questions out loud, of course, and simply started the engine.


    In Beversea, Sadie had just checked into her hotel and was unpacking her luggage when Samuel’s call came through.


    “Ms. Hudson, Mr. Noel has left the premises. He told us that the coboration project can wait until you return. It looks like he wants to discuss it further with you.”


    Sadie’s fingers tightened around her phone.


    After a few seconds of silence, she said,


    “All right. Find someone reliable and make them the official liaison with the Burgess Group’s team. There’s no need to go through Mr. Noel from now on.”


    “I understand, Ms. Hudson,” Samuel replied, then hung up.


    Sadie tossed her phone aside with a heavy sigh. Her frustrations were starting to weigh on her.


    Even so, she pushed the image of Noah out of her mind.


    Thankfully, a knock came at her door, interrupting her gloomy thoughts.


    The door opened, and Tina poked her head inside.


    “Sadie, the dinner banquet with the Johnson Group starts at eight. We should head out soon.”


    Sadie took a deep breath andposed herself, carefully masking the whirling emotions in her eyes.


    Your escape begins with g?lnσν???s?????m


    “Got it,” she said with a nod.


    After checking her appearance onest time, she grabbed her purse and left the room with Tina.


    Sadie had just arrived at the banquet hall of Splendor Hotel when Daren Johnson, CEO of the Johnson Group, walked up to her with a fawning smile.


    “Ms. Hudson! I just want to say that I very much look forward to more coborations between us in the future.”


    “Likewise,” Sadie replied, her smile polite and professional.


    Daren nced around and lowered his voice.
