?Chapter 1199:


    “Agreed. In business, we stake our reputation on honoring everymitment we make.”


    Sadie fixed him with a withering re, offered no further words, and strode away with unwavering determination.


    Stuart’s location remained a mystery. Jazmah sprawled endlessly in all directions, and hunting down someone who was actively concealing themselves within just three days felt like searching for a single grain of sand on an endless beach.


    But Noah’s life hung in the bnce, each second slipping away.


    Aprehensive manhunt was obviously impossible.


    Time drained away like water through her fingers. Every heartbeat counted now—this had be a desperate race against death itself.


    The only workable n remaining was to lure Stuart into the open.


    Stuart was ruthless and methodical. He never moved without having backup ns already in ce.


    Paranoid by nature, he treasured his reputation and his survival above everything else in this world.


    He had gone to extraordinary lengths to wipe away every trace of his twin brother Hurst’s existence, crafting a perfect decoy to redirect any danger that mighte his way.


    A man of his suspicious nature would react violently to anything connected with the name “Dr. Lawson.”


    If Stuart discovered that his meticulously constructed decoy—Hurst—had suddenly assumed the identity of “Dr. Lawson,” he would be unable to remain hidden. The revtion might even trigger enough panic to force him out of the shadows.


    Sadie’s hands clenched once more, this time with deadly resolve. A dangerous fire ignited behind her eyes.


    She stopped abruptly and barked a crisp order to Austen Figueroa, the lead bodyguard who had been following her like a shadow.


    “Tell Samuel to spread word throughout the city that, in appreciation for Dr. Lawson’s life-saving treatment of Mr. Wall, the Wall Group has officially named Dr. Lawson as Chief Medical Consultant. A luxury private clinic will be established in his honor as a gesture of our profound gratitude. That recently vacated office building in the heart of downtown will be its location. The grand opening ceremony willmence at precisely ten o’clock tomorrow morning. Additionally, position every avable operative in the field. Secure the entire area within a fifty-meter radius of the clinic. If anyone suspicious appears, eliminate them immediately. Don’t wait for my authorization.”


    Austen’s face hardened with understanding. He grasped the gravity of the situation.

    “Absolutely, Ms. Hudson. I’ll handle everything immediately!”


    Without wasting another second, he spun around and departed at a swift pace. Sadie stood frozen in ce, though her heart hammered wildly against her ribs. Cold sweat slicked her palms despite the cool air.


    She had no way of knowing whether that cunning fox, Stuart, would actually fall for the trap. But given their desperate circumstances, no better strategy existed. This represented her best and perhaps only opportunity. She had to seize it—for Noah’s sake, failure was not an option.
