Chapter 399

Chapter 399:

Noah nodded. “Yes. My grandmother spent some time in Slimron when she was young. For reasons unknown, she left and never came back here.”

A daring hypothesis sparked in Sadie’s mind.

Could there be a connection between her mother and Noah’s grandmother?

The thought stunned her.

If her speculation held any truth, the mysteries surrounding her mother’s disappearance and the enigmatic key might be related to the Wall family.

She glanced at Noah, wanting to delve deeper but hesitant about where to start.

Noah then took her to a quaintly decorated restaurant.

“Try this,” he suggested softly, placing a piece of roasted rib on her plate.

Distracted, Sadie nibbled on the rib, her mind preoccupied with the key.

“What’s wrong?” Noah noticed her absent gaze and expressed his concern.

“Just a bit tired,” Sadie replied, offering a forced smile to mask her deep thoughts.

Noah didn’t push the issue, instead quietly pouring her a cup of coffee.

The remainder of their meal passed in silence.

Later that evening, when they arrived back at the Fairview Hotel, the lobby was brightly lit, the polished marble floors gleaming under the lights.

As they entered, the new hotel manager quickly recognized Noah and approached with deference, bowing slightly.

“Good evening, Mr. Wall.”

“Hmm.” Noah acknowledged the manager with a slight nod, his tone indifferent.

“Mr. Wall.” The manager hesitated before continuing. “There’s a lady here claiming to be your friend who wants to see you.”

“A lady?” Noah’s brow furrowed slightly. “Who is she?”

“She said her surname is Wade.” The manager watched Noah’s reaction carefully.

Wade?

Kyla immediately came to Noah’s mind.

Why was she here?

Noah glanced at Sadie, catching her uneasy expression.

Kyla had always been a cause of tension between them. Why had she suddenly appeared now?

“Let her come to the top floor,” Noah instructed calmly.

The manager nodded quickly and departed.

Sadie stood, feeling a wave of discomfort, her palms sweaty.

Moments later, the elevator doors on the top floor parted, and Kyla stepped out gracefully.

She was dressed in a striking red gown, her appearance meticulously put together, radiating allure.

“Noah.” Her voice was soft and enticing as she approached.

Noah nodded slightly, maintaining a neutral tone. “Why are you here?”

“I came to see you,” Kyla replied, her gaze shifting to Sadie, scanning her with an almost imperceptible edge of hostility.

Sadie tightened her grip on her bag, trying to appear composed.

“Noah, I know I’ve made many mistakes,” Kyla said, looking at Noah with a pleading expression. “I truly regret them. Can you forgive me?”

Her eyes brimmed with tears, poised to spill.

Sadie’s breathing became labored.
