?Chapter 1077:


    Her head snapped upward, color fleeing from her face as her eyes expanded with raw shock and utter disbelief.


    Cremation? Already?


    With Sharon’s cause of death shrouded in mystery and her killer still atrge, how could anyone authorize such a hasty cremation?!


    The entire situation defied logic!


    Unless…


    Unless someone desperately needed to obliterate evidence!


    Sadie’s thoughts elerated wildly as connections formed between these disparate elements.


    Noah’s peculiar conduct, the Castro family’s entanglement, Ralph’s abrupt return, and now this suspiciously expedited cremation… A bone-chilling realization crystallized within her consciousness. Noah concealed something crucial—Sadie felt this certainty with every fiber of her being!


    And perhaps Sharon’s supposed “death” masked something far more sinister!


    Sadie’s heart clenched painfully within her chest.


    She drew in a deep, steadying breath,manding her racing thoughts to order.


    No, inaction was not an option she could afford.


    She bolted upright from the hospital bed with sudden determination.


    The abrupt motion sent the room tilting momentarily around her.


    “Ms. Hudson!” Samuel lurched forward, arms outstretched to prevent her copse.

    Sadie dismissed his concern with a flick of her wrist and regained her footing. “I’m alright.” Her gaze hardened with steely resolve as she met Samuel’s concerned expression. “Let’s go. We need to reach that funeral home. I must examine the body myself!”


    Nothing would stop her from seeing the truth with her own eyes!


    Samuel studied her ashen yet unwavering countenance and nodded his head. “Yes, Ms. Hudson.”


    Sadie advanced a single step before freezing in ce, struck by a sudden recollection.


    She pivoted back toward Samuel, her expression deceptivelyposed while her eyes gleamed with intensity. “Samuel, investigate Faron Retreat for me. Determine its current ownership, then acquire it by whatever means necessary.”


    Faron Retreat…


    The final residence of Sadie’s parents before their deaths five years prior.


    Despite the passage of time, Sadie couldn’t dispel her instinct that vital secrets remained concealed within those grounds.


    Samuel couldn’t fathom why his boss abruptly sought to acquire what appeared to be an insignificant parcel ofnd, yet he responded without hesitation, “Understood, Ms. Hudson. Consider it done.”
