Chapter 1373:


    Without Noah’s influence, Alex was certain Sadie wouldn’t find herself trapped in one dangerous situation after another.


    Alex was determined to shield her from this constant source of trouble.


    Sadie startled at his sudden protective stance, confusion creasing her brow.


    “Alex, what are you doing?” She attempted to step around him, but his arm blocked her path with unwavering determination.


    Noah observed the theatrical disy with detached calm, his eyes betraying no emotion whatsoever.


    Exnations seemed pointless for such childish behavior.


    Alex’s dramatic performance struck him as nothing more than an borate farce.


    ine, however, possessed far less patience for the scene.


    Watching Alex parade his devotion while casting me on Noah made his stomach turn.


    “Mr. Howe, why put on such a show?”


    ine folded his arms across his chest, his tone dripping with mockery. “Do you have the courage to tell Sadie about all the things you’ve been doing behind her back?”


    Alex’s frame went rigid for just a heartbeat before he recovered hisposure.


    Not a flicker of guilt crossed his features.


    Instead, he turned toward Sadie with tender eyes, his voice softening considerably. “My feelings for Sadie have always been transparent.” When he faced ine again, steel had reced the gentleness in his gaze. “Mr. Castro, you’re free to act as you wish, but I suggest you choose your words more carefully. Making baseless usations without proof could easily be considered nder, don’t you think?”


    ine’s control snapped like a wire stretched too tight.


    “nder you?” His hands balled into fists while his chest rose and fell with barely contained fury.


    Images of Tina’s lifeless form and countless shadowy transactions burned behind his eyes.


    How could Alex stand there wearing that mask of perfect devotion so effortlessly?


    Every fiber of ine’s being screamed to rip away Alex’s carefully constructed facade and reveal the monster lurking beneath!


    g???????ν??????.??0??. ???????????? ????????


    Noah’s prating stare cut through the tension.


    His hand moved subtly, intercepting ine’s arm before the inevitable blow couldnd.


    The timing wasn’t right yet.


    Without solid evidence, any hasty move would only put Alex on guard and make him more careful. He and ine had already invested so much time in this; a bit more patience wouldn’t kill them.


    Meeting Noah’s calcting gaze felt like ice water crashing over ine’s fury.


    He forced down his violent impulses, slowly releasing his clenched fists.


    Rashness would only ruin everything they’d worked toward.


    Sadie watched the wordless exchange between all three men, piecing together whaty beneath the surface.


    She wasn’t a fool.


    Neither ine nor Noah stirred up conflicts without good reason.


    Yet both disyed unmistakable animosity toward Alex.


    Something significant was being kept from her.


    All of them were hiding secrets.


    The realization pierced her heart like a jagged splinter.


    Quietly, she stepped away from Alex’s protective stance, rejecting his assumption that she needed shielding.


    Though her movement seemed small, it hit Alex with the force of a physical blow.


    A sh of confusion flickered across his handsome features.


    He couldn’t fathom why Sadie would choose to trust Noah and ine over him. Why?
