Chapter 98 What’s This
Sudden Interest In Sadie
Though Kyla was shaken, she maintained her composure and offered a strained smile.
“It would be best if we went together. I’d prefer you not to bring anyone else. After all, your divorce is imminent.”
Noah averted his eyes and responded flatly, “We can discuss that later.”
He got up and headed directly to the study, leaving Kyla by herself on the sofa.
When the door to the study clicked shut, the forced smile disappeared from Kyla’s face, giving way to a chilling, calculating
look.
She checked the clock; it was almost nine.
Rising, she made her way to the courtyard and gazed up at the lit window of Sadie’s room on the second floor, her
expression a mix of emotions.
The light in the room was on, the window ajar, yet Sadie was out of sight.
Kyla’s sneer emerged. Clearly, Sadie had abandoned her naive scheme.
As the guards changed shifts, Kyla covertly took out her phone and dialed a secured number.
“Hello, it’s me,” she whispered, her voice laced with subtle tension. “At the Maple Group CEO’s wedding celebration in two days, it’s time to act.”
She paused, her voice hardening. “You must not fail this time. I’ll text you the details later. If plans change, I’ll update you.”
Laughter tinged with sarcasm answered her from the other end. “Ah, Miss Wade, surely you won’t make me wait again?”
Kyla’s irritation flared.
“Just execute it flawlessly. Don’t botch it like last time,” she said, anger evident in her tone. “Make sure she dies this time.”
“Make sure she dies?” the hacker repeated with a playful tone, amused by Kyla’s intensity. “Wow, when a woman gets fierce, it’s truly terrifying.”
“Stop the nonsense!” Kyla exclaimed with a hint of impatience. “Finish the job, and your reward will follow.”
“Okay, fine. You always keep it simple, Miss Wade. It’s refreshing to work with you!” the hacker responded playfully, chuckling before disconnecting.
Kyla inhaled deeply, attempting to settle her nerves.
Raising her eyes once more, she locked eyes with Sadie by the window of her room.
With a chill in her smile and a casual wave, Kyla greeted her.

Chapter 98 What’s This Sudden Interest in Sadie
In two days, Sadie would meet her end, she should savor these final days.
Meanwhile, in his study, Noah was engrossed in paperwork, his brow furrowed in concentration.
The piercing sound of his ringtone shattered the silence.
He picked up, his expression growing stern as he listened. “What’s that? Any leads?”
The informant on the line updated him about the ongoing probe into Sadie’s car accident.
The prime suspect was a hacker known as Ryder Clifford, known for his elusive nature.
Although the police pinpointed his last known location, they found it deserted, suggesting he might use multiple hideouts.
Luckily, they managed to secure surveillance footage and extracted several images, which they forwarded to Noah.
As Noah scanned the blurry images on his screen, his gaze turned discerning.
He stared at the familiar eyes in the photos, sparking doubt.
Despite a mask and a hat obscuring most features, something about the eyes struck him as familiar.
Zooming in on the images, he scrutinized them until he noticed one image in which Ryder was in an embrace with a
woman.
The photo’s angle obscured her face, yet her fashion sense, particularly her choice of designer wear, was unmistakably
similar to Kyla’s usual style.
Could Kyla have orchestrated that car accident?
A chill of dread crept through Noah, his heart heavy with suspicion.
He wasted no time in contacting Samuel. “Continue the investigation. I want a detailed report on Ryder, especially his
recent contacts.”
His tone was icy, leaving no room for argument.
The Myrtlewood Estate was brightly lit.
All three occupants were lost in thoughts.
By next morning, Jim made an unexpected appearance.
He marched into the living room, his gaze quickly settling on Kyla, who sat with poised grace on the sofa. His eyes
narrowed.
“Where’s Sadie?” he asked with a casual yet concerned tone.
“She’s taking a rest upstairs,” Noah responded from behind, tinged with a cool undertone.
Jim stopped, turned to Noah, and held his gaze for a moment. Then, pretending not to care, he said, “I’ll go check on her.”
Noah stepped in his way. “What’s this sudden interest in Sadie? Are you keeping secrets from me?”
B
Jim avoided a direct response.
His eyes flicked to Kyla, still seated, and with a knowing glance, he challenged, “How long will you keep up this charade? Is it really amusing to have all three of you under one roof here at Myrtlewood Estate?”

Noah’s expression tightened. “Stay out of my affairs.”
With a casual shrug, Jim remarked, “It hardly matters to me.”
He then moved past Noah and made his way upstairs, leaving Noah brooding silently in the living room.
