?Chapter 344:


    K was caught off guard, left without words by Sadie’s sharp challenge. She hadn’t anticipated such a forceful and articte defense from Sadie. Meanwhile, police officers took statements from witnesses and reviewed security footage from the estate.


    The video clearly depicted Percy bumping into Nte, which led her to drop the jewelry box inadvertently. This indisputable evidence caused both Percy’s and K’splexions to nch.


    “The evidence is quite clear,” Sadie said, her voice calm yet incisive. “Miss Wade, do you have any furtherments?”


    K found herself speechless, unprepared for Sadie’s tactical shrewdness andprehensive handling of the situation.


    K wobbled, herplexion turning ghostly white. With a hand over her heart, she emitted a soft, feeble moan. Then, she fell backward.


    Percy was swift to react, catching her just before she hit the ground. His expression was one of sheer rm as he shouted, “Miss Wade! Miss Wade, can you hear me?” Chaos ensued at once.


    Observing K’s theatrical disy, Sadie couldn’t help but scoff inwardly. So typical, the same old trick.


    Her eyes grew cold as she mockingly inquired, “Miss Wade, do you need medical assistance? Should I call for an ambnce?”


    Percy red at Sadie with intense loathing, as if she were a notorious criminal. “You’ve caused this. Miss Wade wouldn’t be in this state if it weren’t for your provocation.”


    Unruffled, Sadie responded with a tone of mock surprise, “How is this rted to me? I only said a few words. I never touched her. Surely, if her condition is this delicate, the me can’t possibly fall on me.”


    She then addressed the butler, her demeanor calm. “Please, could you call for an ambnce? It seems wise to be cautious.” Though the butler was suspicious of K’s abrupt faint, he quickly made the call to emergency services without hesitation.

    “No need for an ambnce,” Percy replied abruptly, cutting through the tension with a sharp voice. “I’ll take her to the hospital myself.” With K in his arms, he swiftly departed the scene.


    Sadie’s lips curled into a knowing smirk as she watched them hurry away, sensing their fear of exposure.


    Turning to Nte, she suggested, “Let’s depart now.”


    “But…” Nte hesitated, ncing at the ruined Dewy Hibiscus on the ground.


    “The police will take care of it,” Sadie assured her with conviction. “We should head back.”


    She then bent down to collect the scattered jewelry fragments, each one tenderly ced into a velvet pouch.


    The fragments, though broken, retained their immense worth. Not merely a masterpiece, the Dewy Hibiscus symbolized Sadie’s dedication and dreams.


    Nte observed Sadie meticulously collecting the pieces, her admiration for her calm andposed demeanor growing amidst the ordeal. Such was the essence of true strength.


    They left Stonemont Estate behind and approached the car parked nearby. Inside, Averi was deeply engaged with a toy. Upon noticing Sadie entering the car, he set his toy aside and leapt into her embrace, his voice tender and concerned. “Mommy, are you alright?”
