?Chapter 495:


    “Sadie! I’m so d you’re here!”


    Nte leaned against the doorframe, panting heavily. Beads of sweat dotted her forehead, a testament to her rush.


    Seeing her in such anxiety, Sadie quickly moved to support her, her expression marked with concern.


    “What’s the matter, Nte? What’s happened? Why are you in such a hurry? Look at you, you’re soaked in sweat.”


    Nte took several deep breaths before she could articte her words. “Last night… K… she asked to see me…”


    “K?” Sadie’s expression sharpened. “What did she want?” Her voice chilled, tinged with suspicion.


    Nte managed to steady her breath and whispered, “She was asking about something…”


    “What was it?” Sadie urged, her attention fixed.


    Nte swallowed hard, her voice barely audible. “She mentioned something went wrong with the major joint project between Howe Group and Wall Group… and Mr. Wall… was ming Howe Group…”


    “What? Is that true?” Sadie’s face fell, her eyes widening with concern. Though she wasn’t directly involved in the project, she was aware of its significance. It was a massive undertaking, crucial to both families. Alex was always meticulous. How could something have gone wrong?


    And Noah wasn’t one to hastily oppose the Howe family. There must be deeper secrets involved.


    A torrent of thoughts and concerns overwhelmed Sadie, leaving her feeling unsettled. She took a deep breath, pulled out her phone, and dialed Alex.


    “Beep… beep… beep…”


    Every story starts at gα?ησν????s


    The phone rang on and on, but no one answered. With each unanswered ring, Sadie’s heart sank a little more. A dark premonition enveloped her, squeezing her chest with anxiety.


    If Alex wasn’t picking up, it likely meant trouble.


    Sadie grabbed her bag and said, “Nte, keep an eye on the studio for me. I need to go to Howe Group immediately.”


    “You’re heading to Howe Group?” Nte’s voice wasced with concern. “But… Is that wise at this moment? What if you…”


    Nte’s voice trailed off, her hesitation clear. She was concerned that Sadie might be entangled in the escting conflict between the Wall and Howe families.


    Despite understanding Nte’s apprehensions, Sadie couldn’t afford to dy. Alex was her friend. She couldn’t just sit by idly if he was in trouble.


    “It’s okay. Don’t worry, I’ll be cautious,” Sadie reassured Nte, giving her aforting pat on the shoulder. “The studio’s in your hands for now. Call me if anything happens.”


    As soon as she was done speaking, Sadie turned and left, her strides hurried and resolute.


    “Sadie…” Nte had more to say, but Sadie didn’t bother to look back.


    Nte could only watch in worry as Sadie’s figure disappeared into the distance. She knew Sadie carried a strong sense of duty toward the people she cared about. Once Sadie made up her mind, there was nothing anyone could do to change it.


    Howe Group.


    Sadie stood in the opulent lobby, her heart knotting with anxiety as she watched the hustle and bustle of the employees. She headed straight to the reception desk.


    “Hello,” she greeted, her tone sounding urgent. “Is Mr. Alex Howe in? My name is Sadie Hudson. I have an appointment with him.”
