?Chapter 861:


    Jarrett exhaled softly, seemingly reassured by Noah’s words.


    Noah noted the reaction with quiet satisfaction. He needed Jarrett stable, at least for now—until he uncovered just how much Nathan truly knew about Sadie’s parents. He couldn’t afford chaos, not yet.


    Daren’s eyes lit up at Noah’s statement. He nodded eagerly,tching onto the opportunity to redeem himself.


    “You’re absolutely right, Mr. Noel!” he said with exaggerated enthusiasm.


    “Nathan has a reputation for scamming his way through high society. Ms. Hudson is a pure and trusting woman—it’s no surprise he was able to draw her into one of his traps!”


    Jarrett blinked, his brows briefly furrowing before his expression rxed again.


    Lost in thought, he simply nodded, offering no furtherment.


    The pressure that had gripped the living room seemed to lift momentarily.


    At that instant, rapid footsteps echoed from outside.


    The Higgins family’s butler burst in, nearly stumbling as he entered. rm contorted his features, and his tie hung askew.


    “Sir! Bad news!” he blurted out, nearly breathless.


    Jarrett’s expression hardened, his forehead creasing in irritation.


    “Compose yourself! This is uneptable!”


    Too rattled to even wipe the perspiration trickling down his face, the butler looked as though he might copse.


    “Mr. Higgins, the Wall Group just made a public announcement—through their official presswork. They im that Ms. Sadie Hudson and Nathan are in love… and are getting married! The news is already spreading like wildfire!”


    Your next chapter is here gα?ησν???s


    Instantly, the energy in the room shifted violently.


    Noah, his face hidden behind the mask, gave nothing away—but the air around him turned cial.


    Jarrett’s fingers clenched around his coffee cup.


    Daren stood frozen, utterly thunderstruck.


    Crash!


    The ceramic cup shattered against the floor as Jarrett hurled it, shards scattering in every direction. Rage twisted his features into something monstrous.


    “So my dear brother ns to marry into the Wall family?” he hissed, jaw clenched. “All this… in just forty-eight hours?”


    Daren blinked in disbelief. Nathan? Marrying the chairwoman of Wall Group? It felt surreal.


    If the wedding actually happened, Nathan’s status would soar overnight. Backed by one of the country’s most influential corporations, he would be untouchable.
