?Chapter 93:


    It showed Alex with his hand resting protectively on Sadie’s waist. The sight had sent an uneasy chill down Samuel’s spine.


    Samuel let out a quiet sigh. His boss waspletely oblivious, blind to how deeply he cared for his wife, unaware of the weight of his feelings.


    Samuel could almost foresee a future where Sadie, drawn in by Alex’s unwavering care, slowly let her guard down until she finally leaned on him. By then, Noah would be left with nothing but regret, powerless to change anything.


    Maintaining a safe distance, Samuel trailed the car to Alex’s neighborhood and parked a few houses down. He promptly sent Noah the location coordinates.


    “Mr. Wall, I’ve sent the location,” Samuel murmured, his tone measured as he recorded the voice message.


    When Noah received the photo of Alex resting his hand on Sadie’s waist, he assumed Samuel had deliberately framed it to exaggerate their closeness. He was tempted to scold him for acting like a gossip-hungry paparazzo, twisting reality with angles that made things look more intimate than they really were.


    “Samuel, you rascal…” Noah muttered, his voice tinged with annoyance.


    But when he saw the location Samuel sent, he was taken aback; it was the family estate where Alex had been raised, a ce full of memories and significance. Realizing that Alex had taken Sadie there stirred a deep unease in Noah. Was Alex introducing her to his family? The idea sent a chill through him.


    As this thought nagged at him, a surge of irritation overwhelmed Noah. His grip tightened on his phone until his knuckles turned white. “Could she be meeting his parents?” he whispered to himself, his voiceced with a mix of shock and a budding jealousy he hadn’t noticed before.


    The rest of his business meeting passed in a blur. Noah’s mood cast a palpable shadow over the room, the atmosphere thick with tension. His presence, usuallymanding and poised, now made the air around him feel oppressively heavy.


    Finally, Noah said, his voice icy, “We’re done here.” He stood abruptly and exited the room, leaving a lingering chill behind.

    In the grandeur of the banquet hall at the Howe family estate, the shimmering light from the crystal chandelier bathed the room, casting a warm glow over the elegantly dressed guests as they conversed in small clusters.


    The hall was teeming with notable personalities from various sectors. Sadie clutched a ss of champagne, her gaze sweeping across the sea of attendees, her eyes keenly searching for Roy.


    Atst, her eyes locked onto him; he was seated on a plush sofa in the far corner of the room.


    However, the scene before her didn’t match her expectations.


    Roy’s face was etched with discontent, his voice tinged with a sharp edge of reproach. “Alex, using my niece to make mee? That’s a bold move!”


    Across from him, Alex lounged with deceptive ease, his smile unwavering as he dismissed the tension in Roy’s voice. “I had no choice. You’re a hard man to reach, Roy, and I had to make sure you’d attend. There’s someone here who’s eager to coborate with you. Allow me to introduce you.”


    As his eyes shifted beyond Roy, spotting Sadie’s approach, Alex’s smile widened invitingly. He gestured for her to join them. “Sadie, over here!”


    Roy’s gaze snapped to Sadie. “It’s you?” he eximed, his expressionced with disbelief.


    Meeting his eyes, Sadie nodded politely, her voice steady. “Hello, Mr. Dominguez.”


    Despite her calm demeanor, her grip on the champagne ss tightened, betraying a flicker of nervous tension.


    Roy’s gaze darted between Sadie and Alex, his eyebrows knitted in suspicion. “What is going on between you two?” The air thickened with his scrutiny.
