?Chapter 656:


    Before she knew it, dusk had fallen. She stretched her arms, ready to call it a day. She rubbed her weary eyes and gathered her belongings,pletely unaware of a hidden camera secretly aimed at her. The person in the shadows snapped a few quick photos and sneaked out of the design department.


    Retreating into the fire exit, hepiled the pictures he had taken and sent them to Hailey.


    At a vi in the suburbs, Hailey nced at the photo on her screen before turning her gaze to the distinguished man a few feet away. As always, Noah exuded an intimidating aura.


    Hailey walked over and sat down next to him, casually cing her hand in his. Noah’s reaction was subtle yet immediate, moving his hand to dodge her touch.


    Hailey noticed, of course, but she didn’t get upset. Instead, she handed him her phone.


    “Look, Noah. This is Sadie Hudson, the granddaughter of Absolon Stewart and the current president of Wall Group.”


    Noah stared at the photo and was momentarily lost in his thoughts. The woman on the screen looked focused on her work but weary at the same time. Despite this, he couldn’t deny the unique charisma she carried herself with. More to the point, he felt a sense of familiarity toward her, even though he couldn’t recall where he had seen her before.


    Hailey silently observed the shift in his expression.


    “If it hadn’t been for this woman, you wouldn’t have gotten into a car ident three years ago and fallen into aa. She wouldn’t have seeded in taking all your shares.” She leaned close and added, “But don’t worry. I’ll be by your side, no matter what happens.”


    Noah locked the phone screen and tossed it aside with a humorlessugh.


    “You’ve been saying that for three years now.”

    He knew very well what Hailey was trying to convey. He knew what he needed to do.


    Hailey stiffened at his words. “I’m just concerned for you,” she said, sounding aggrieved.


    Noah pressed his fingers against his temples. “It’s gettingte,” he said in an indifferent tone. “I’d like to rest early.”


    Before Hailey could respond, he stood up and went upstairs.


    She sighed as she watched him go. Thanks to Noah, the Burgess Group had risen from the brink of bankruptcy. She was also able to utilize many of Wall Group’s overseas resources, making her act of saving him quite worthwhile.


    In the past three years, Hailey hade to realize that Noah was a far better catch than Sutton. If he returned to the country and regained control of Wall Group, the Burgess Group would surely soar to even greater heights.


    Hailey had done her homework, investigating everything there was to know about Noah. She ultimately concluded that Sadie posed a constant threat to her ns.


    To counter that, Hailey had meticulously painted Sadie as an adversary in Noah’s eyes, using his distorted memory to her advantage. Gradually, Noah had grown topletely despise Sadie.


    But to keep him for good, the best solution would be to have a child with him. Unfortunately for Hailey, Noah had never touched her in thest three years.


    What else could she do?


    Shey back on the sofa, feeling restless, when her phone rang. It was Sutton.


    Hailey’s lips curled into a sly smile. “Sutton,” she greeted yfully. “To what do I owe this pleasure? Are you missing your old me?”
