?Chapter 725:


    He quickly released Sadie, propping himself up and helping her sit.


    “Are you alright?”


    His voice carried an edge of worry, though he seemed unaware of it.


    Sadie inhaled sharply, rubbing her sore back. Her tears had yet to dry, and she wiped them away before meeting Noah’s gaze. Her voice remained steady, though distant. “Mr. Noel, what brings you here?”


    Noah hesitated, unable to answer. His assistant had mentioned Sadie’s presence at the hot spring resort, and before he knew it, he had followed an inexplicable urge toe. It was as though something beyond his control had drawn him here. But he wasn’t about to admit that. His tone remained detached. “Just here for a break. You’re reading too much into it, Ms. Hudson.”


    Sadie gave a slight nod, not pressing further. “If that’s the case, now that you’re awake, please leave. This is my room.” Her words were polite but impersonal, as though she was addressing a stranger.


    Something inside Noah twisted. A strange, unexinable irritation crept in. She was in such a hurry to send him away?


    “Apologies for the intrusion,” he said coolly, rising from the bed. Without another word, he turned toward the door.


    In the living room, Averi remained engrossed in his toys. When Noah emerged, the boy’s face lit up with a bright, innocent smile. His eyes curved in a way that sent an eerie sense of familiarity through Noah’s chest.

    He halted mid-step. That strange feeling gripped him once again—something he couldn’t quite name. But before he could dwell on it, he shook the thought away and left, his steps surprisingly unsteady.


    Noah’s driver had already moved the suitcases into his room. Noticing Noah’s uneasy look, he felt perplexed but opted to keep quiet, refraining from asking questions. Noah stepped into his room, shutting the door behind him. He retrieved his phone and dialed his assistant. “I need details on Sadie’s son, Averi.”


    On the other end, though momentarily puzzled, the assistant promptly responded, “Understood, Mr. Noel. I’ll get on it right away.”


    Meanwhile, Sadie sat motionless in her suite at the hot spring resort. Since Noah was here, that meant her strategy at thepany must already be in motion. Suddenly, her phone rang—it was ine. She answered, and his voice came through with a teasing lilt. “How’s the hot spring? Rxing, I hope?”


    As usual, ine started with a lighthearted remark. Sadie’s lips curled slightly, her tone neutral. “It’s fine.”


    “Judging by your response, it doesn’t sound too impressive,” ine sighed dramatically before shifting the conversation, his voice brimming with intrigue. “But, you know, things at thepany are getting quite interesting.”


    A flicker of emotion stirred within Sadie, though she remainedposed. “What’s happening?”


    ine said, his tone carrying a hint of mischief, “That old fox, Coyle, is in serious trouble this time.”


    Sadie had anticipated this oue, so the news didn’t shock her. Maintaining her usualposure, she replied, “Give me the specifics.”


    “Mr. Noel made it clear he has no intention of continuing their deal,” ine said, amusementcing his words. “He didn’t even grant them a meeting—just terminated the contract without hesitation. This morning, Coyle’s office was aplete madhouse. Malcolm and the other shareholders wasted no time rushing over to ‘express their concerns’ once they learned Burgess Group was pulling out.” ine vividly recounted Coyle’s predicament, his tone gleeful.
