?Chapter 637:
A wave of sadness washed over Sadie. She lowered her gaze, her longshes veiling the disappointment in her eyes. “I understand.”
Isabel looked as though she wanted to say more but ultimately left the bedroom silently.
Sadie sat by the bed, her hands clenched so tightly her fingertips turned white. When would Noah wake up? She yearned for his embrace, for him to reassure her that everything would be alright. Now, he was lying in a hospital bed, his condition unknown to her.
The buzz of her phone snapped her out of her thoughts. It was an email from Samuel, containing detailed information about Coyle and his family.
Sadie forced herself to concentrate. She couldn’t afford to break down; there was too much at stake. She had to protect Wall Group, safeguard Averi, and await Noah’s recovery.
She opened the document and scrutinized it intently. It wasn’t until dawn that she hadmitted everything to memory.
After freshening up, Sadie left early for Wall Group. Upon her arrival, Samuel greeted her.
“Good morning, Mrs. Wall,” Samuel said respectfully. “The board meeting won’t start for a while. Would you like to rest in Mr. Wall’s office first?”
Sadie was about to reply when a cheerful voice interrupted. “Sadie! What brings you here?”
It was Tina, who approached quickly, her face radiating happiness. “Sadie, you look fantastic today!” she eximed, circling Sadie with genuine admiration.
Sadie smiled and yfully pinched Tina’s cheek. “You’re always so sweet.”
Tina scratched her head sheepishly, then leaned in with a secretive air. “Sadie, have you heard? Mr. Wall hasn’t been to the office for days, and people are getting worried. Is something wrong?”

A wave of concern washed over Sadie. She managed a forced smile and said softly, “Tina, don’t overthink it. Mr. Wall is on a business trip.”
“Really?” Tina seemed skeptical.
“Absolutely,” Sadie replied, feigning ease. “Now, please get back to work and keep focused.”
“Oh. Alright,” Tina said before leaving.
Once Tina was gone, Sadie’s smile disappeared. She knew she needed to stabilize the situation quickly and stop any rumors.
“You are Noah’s wife, right? What brings you to thepany today? Shouldn’t you be at home preparing for Noah’s funeral?” A sharp voice suddenly rang out, dripping with sarcasm and hostility.
Sadie turned to see who it was. A middle-aged man with a cane, nked by some others, was approaching. He was older, with a sullen and arrogant air that made him quite disagreeable.
Sadie recognized him from the files she had studied the night before. He was Coyle Wall, the second son of Nigel, Noah’s uncle.
Apanying him were his son, Sutton Wall, and his daughter, Briley Wall. Sutton had a refined appearance but a calcting look, while Briley seemed haughty, looking down on Sadie as if she were insignificant.
Sadie suppressed a snort.
This family was evidently making their move.
Sadie stepped forward with a calm smile. “Uncle Coyle, I should be the one asking what brings you here. I can’t believe you’re still this energetic at your age.” Her voice was soft but carried a subtle sting. “And about Noah, surely you aren’t wishing ill on the chairman of Wall Group, are you?”
