?Chapter 1079:


    Pay respects? Should Sadie’s eyes fall upon the corpse within—a body bearing no connection whatsoever to Sharon—the resulting catastrophe would be immeasurable!


    With Noah beyondmunication’s reach, Jack floundered in a momentary abyss of indecision, options evaporating before they could fully materialize in his panicked mind.


    Anxiety radiated through him like electricity through a conductor, yet he maintained his obstructive stance with desperate determination. “Ms. Hudson, this… this might not be a wise decision. Sharon suffered severe injuries before she passed. Her remains… they exhibit extensive damage, creating a profoundly disturbing impression. The visual impact verges on horrifying. Sparing yourself such distress would be prudent—particrly considering potential effects on your unborn child.”


    Sadie’s eyebrows converged into a formidable knot while her gaze transformed into a prating de directed squarely at Jack’s increasingly ashen face. “Sharon upies the sacred space of family in my heart. Such concerns hold no power over my resolve.”


    Her unflinching scrutiny sent cial tendrils cascading down Jack’s vertebral column while the umted moisture on his brow surrendered to gravity, trailing conspicuous rivulets down his temples. His jaw ckened as his frantic mind rummaged desperately through its depleted inventory of usible justifications.


    “What precise information are you attempting to conceal?” Sadie’s tone crystallized into arctic severity, interwoven with unmistakable threads of mounting impatience and deepening suspicion. “Does something exist within these walls that you’re desperate to shield from my observation?”


    Jack’s heart plummeted into the depths of his abdomen. His head oscited in frantic denial, a metronome marking panic’s tempo. “No, no! Nothing of the sort! Your interpretation is entirely mistaken, Ms. Hudson. I merely…”


    Sadie’s reservoir of tolerance for his incoherent sputtering had evaporatedpletely.

    She pivoted her head toward Samuel, transmitting an unmistakable directive through her prating gaze alone.


    Samuel deciphered her silentmand instantaneously. He advanced with purposeful strides, establishing an intimidating barrier between Jack and freedom. “Jack, Ms. Hudson desires nothing more than visual confirmation. What motivates your persistent obstruction?”


    Seizing the strategic opportunity, Sadie executed a nimbleteral maneuver around Jack’s distracted form, disregarding his desperate objections as she glided purposefully into the funeral home’s somber interior.


    “Samuel! Release me immediately!” Jack’s voice crescendoed in anguished supplication as he witnessed Sadie’s silhouette vanish beyond the threshold into forbidden territory.


    He thrashed against Samuel’s unyielding grip, but therger man remained immovable, projecting tranquil authority. “Jack, I implore you to regain yourposure. Wouldn’t transparency with Ms. Hudson prove ultimately beneficial?”


    Jack’s frantic gaze ricocheted between Samuel’s inscrutable professional demeanor and the ominous corridor that had swallowed Sadie’s retreating form. His heart plummeted to unprecedented depths of despair.


    The certainty of his impending catastrophic fate crystallized in his consciousness with brutal rity.
