?Chapter 1069:


    A jolt of unease gripped Noah.


    What the hell was happening?


    Ralph exhaled slowly, the weight of his thoughts pressing down. “Brenda’s academic work delved into perilous biological experiments. It drew the eye of an elusive group called Wolfpack. They had shadowed her movements for a while. As for the missing ashes, I believe their agents retrieved them. If they ever catch wind that Brenda had a child—Sadie—she’ll be their next target. They’ll stop at nothing to find her. That’s why I wanted to send Sharon away. She holds too much information. If she’s captured, the oue could be catastrophic.”


    Noah’s hands balled instinctively.


    Wolfpack was notorious worldwide. The name was whispered with dread, synonymous with brutality and silence.


    No one knew who led them, but their reach spanned continents, and their reputation for lethal efficiency was unmatched. If Sadie was truly on their radar, she was in mortal peril.


    Noah’s chest tightened with guilt. He’d judged Ralph too harshly. Rising, he gave a deep bow. “Mr. Castro, I was wrong. Please forgive my earlier actions.”


    Ralph waved dismissively, his eyes tired. “Forget it. Sadie’s safety depends on secrecy.”


    Noah gave a solemn nod. “Understood. I’ll take the necessary steps.”


    Ralph appeared marginallyforted, though concern still shadowed his face.


    Meanwhile, in the garden of Castro Manor, ine wore a hole in the grass with his pacing.


    His expression flickered with frustration. Why was his grandfather keeping him in the dark?


    Why exile both him and Alfredo with no exnation?

    Every so often, ine’s gazended on Alfredo, who studiously looked away, pretending not to notice.


    Feeling the tension, Alfredo attempted a nervousugh. “Don’t re at me like that. I have no clue what your grandfather is nning either.”


    ine snorted. He wasn’t buying it.


    Alfredo had always been in sync with Ralph—as if he could read his mind with a nce. And now he imed ignorance? Impossible. ine opened his mouth to push for answers, but just then, the living room doors creaked open.


    Noah stepped into the open air, securing a silver mask to his face. Seeing him, ine rushed toward him. “Mr. Noel, what did my grandfather tell you?”


    Without stopping, Noah replied coolly, “Nothing. Just ensure Sharon leaves immediately. Jack will help you.”


    ine blinked in disbelief.


    Patrick had only been inside the living room for a short while, yet now he agreed to Ralph’s n? What kind of secret agreement had the two of them reached in there?


    Noah paid no heed to ine’s startled look and exited the estate without a backward nce.
