?Chapter 910:


    “Briley’s still tied to the Wall name. If this mess explodes, it could smear the family.”


    Despite her personal grudge, Sadie knew the family’s image came first.


    Noah chuckled softly. “Rx. I already had Jack alert the authorities, iming Briley had instigated others to steal.”


    In this scenario, the disgrace would be Briley’s burden alone—leaving the Walls untouched.


    Sadie froze for an instant. She nced sideways at Noah.


    He had already factored that in—navigating everything so precisely, ensuring minimal damage to the Wall family’s image.


    Briley, frankly, was shockingly bold, making a move while she was mid-change? If she hadn’t had Samuel set up extra security around the lounge, things could have gone sideways fast.


    Suddenly, a realization sparked in her mind. She turned slowly toward Noah,posed and alert, her expression unreadable. Her stare lingered, cool and prating.


    “Curious,” she murmured. “What brought you to the lounge just then?”


    Noah locked eyes with her, the corners of his mouth twitching upward. He leaned in, his voice light and tinged with teasing amusement.


    “Maybe we’re just cosmically synced? I happened to stroll by and heard someone crying out. Naturally, I stepped in and saved the day.” He paused, lowering his voice, his breath brushing her ear like silk. “So, Ms. Hudson, any ns on repaying your knight in shining armor? Perhaps by bing my—”


    Before he could finish, Sadie, no longer willing to tolerate his antics, pped her hand over his mouth. The heat of his lips against her palm sent an involuntary shiver through her fingers.


    ???????? ?????????????? ???????? ??????????ν??????﹒??????


    She quickly withdrew her hand, her face tightening, and addressed the chauffeur curtly. “Drive.”


    Without question, the vehicle glided forward.


    Noticing the flush creeping up her neck, Noah decided to cut her some ck. He adjusted his cuffs with deliberate calm, then remarked in a smooth, steady cadence, “With Yvonne’s public outburst today, both Rodger and Jarrett are in for quite the headache.”


    Jarrett’s love affair and the revtion of a secret child were sure to ignite a media storm. Rodger, struggling to shield the Higgins name and pacify the Johnsons, would be stretched thin trying to contain the fallout.


    “Meanwhile, Nathan could seize the moment to consolidate his hold over Higgins Group.” While Rodger and Jarrett were busy dealing with the scandal, Nathan would quietly reap the benefits.


    The dominoes were falling just as forecasted.


    Then Noah’s tone deepened, and his expression turned solemn. “When do you n to break off your engagement with Nathan?” He’d been holding that question back for quite some time.
