Chapter 1300:


    Just as Sadie moved to ce the pearl in her jewelry box, an unsettling detail caught her attention. Beneath her fingertips, its surface felt coarse—far from the silky perfection of a genuine pearl. Examining it more closely, she realized with a sinking heart that this was no more than an borate imitation. Microscopic ridges fromyered manufacturing materials marred its finish, and its shine had a stiff, artificial quality. Why would a counterfeit pearl lie among the ashes of the ruined Faron Estate?


    A shiver ran through her as hidden threads seemed to weave through the mystery—connections she couldn’t yet grasp. In a momentarypse, the pearl slipped from her fingers and struck the hardwood floor with a decisive crack, shattering into fragments. Like a secret freed from its shell, a tiny ck USB drive tumbled out and came to rest amid the debris.


    Sadie’s breath caught. What could it contain? Her pulse thundered as she dropped to her knees, scooping up the device with trembling fingers. She staggered toward the study, legs unsteady, and inserted the USB into herputer. The monitor flickered, revealing a password prompt.


    Frustration creased Sadie’s brow as she tried several obviousbinations, each rejected with cold finality. Drawing in a steadying breath, she let impulse guide her and typed her birth date. Instantly, the password box vanished and a hidden folder opened before her eyes.


    Her birth date had been the password all along.


    A storm of conflicting emotions churned within Sadie’s chest—surprise wrestled with something deeper, something dangerously close to hope. The directory contained an overwhelming collection of documents stretching endlessly down the screen.


    When Sadie clicked the first file, her eyes widened before contracting to pinpoints of shock. Every single document represented her mother’s life’s work—the invaluable research that had consumed her final years. These were the exact files the Wolfpack had murdered and betrayed to possess.


    Sadie’s hands curled into tight, trembling fists as the magnitude of the discovery crashed over her. Her brilliant mother had orchestrated the perfect hiding ce, sealing away her most precious work behind the date that had brought her greatest joy into the world.


    Without hesitation, she reached for her phone and dialed Noah’s number, fighting to keep her voice steady as she delivered the earthshattering revtion.


    On the other end, Noah was taken aback. After a few seconds of silence, his steady voice came through. “Sadie, listen carefully—don’t take any risks or leave the estate under any circumstances. Stay exactly where you are until I return.”


    Once the call ended, Noah raised his eyes to meet ine’s expectant stare across the table, his expression heavy with unspoken implications. “Can you guarantee the uracy of this information?”


    ine nodded gravely. “There’s no room for error in what I’ve uncovered.” Every piece of intelligence he’d collected painted the same undeniable picture.


    Three years ago, during their time in Zupren, Hailey had maintained a secret rtionship with Sutton. That revtion triggered a buried memory in Noah’s mind. Hailey’s behavior after Sutton’s death had been anything but normal—it carried undertones he should have recognized at the time. During that same period, Sadie had nearly been framed for Sutton’s murder through a web of carefully nted evidence.
