Chapter 566

Chapter 566:

Vivi had been trying to snatch them away, but the owner of Lawrence Group was indifferent to her offers, leaving her utterly frustrated.

“Don’t get too full of yourself, Sadie Hudson!” Vivi snapped through gritted teeth. “You think you’ve won? Let me tell you—it’s not over until the fat lady sings.”

“Is that so? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.” Sadie’s smile grew brighter. “Feel free to reach out if you need anything, Miss Quinn. After all, I have excellent rapport with the owner of Lawrence Group.”

With that, Sadie gracefully turned and walked away, leaving Vivi fuming in place.

“Sadie Hudson, just you wait!” she muttered under her breath as she glared at Sadie’s retreating figure.

Hatred and envy burned in Vivi’s heart, and she vowed there and then that she would make Sadie pay.

She refused to believe that she would lose to someone like Sadie.

Meanwhile, Sadie plucked a glass of champagne from a passing waiter, then moved to a quiet corner.

She thought about her recent encounter and couldn’t help the sardonic smile that tugged at her lips.

Vivi was no better than a trivial troublemaker, with her petty and shortsighted antics. She was barely worth any attention.

Sadie swept her gaze across the crowd and soon landed on a familiar face—Alex.

He stood alone in another corner, a glass of red wine in hand. He looked distracted, like he was lost in his thoughts.

Sadie hesitated for a moment. She had initially planned to avoid him, but later figured that some things were simply inevitable.

Taking a deep breath, she steadied her emotions before making her way toward him.

“Hello, Alex,” Sadie called out softly.

Alex turned at the sound of her voice. A flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes, only to be replaced by guilt and regret.

“Sadie…” he rasped, his voice shaking slightly. He set his glass down and drew closer, stopping just a step away from her.

“I owe you an apology, Sadie,” Alex said, his voice quiet, his head lowered.

Sadie could see his sincerity and remorse, and… some other emotion she couldn’t quite identify.

“About… Aliza and my mother… About the harm they caused you, I… I’m truly sorry.” Alex’s voice seemed to grow softer with each word, and he never dared to look up to meet Sadie’s eyes.

The scars left behind would never truly heal.

No matter how many times Alex apologized, the pain Sadie had endured could not be erased.

“And also… thank you.” Alex raised his voice slightly. “Thank you for passing the message to Noah.”

He did not elaborate, but he believed Sadie understood his meaning.

Sadie offered a gentle, faint yet sincere smile. “Alex, it was not your fault. You don’t need to apologize to me. You helped me a lot three years ago.” She met his gaze and continued slowly, “Consider that my way of returning the kindness you showed me.”

Alex felt a heavy weight in his heart, as if a massive stone pressed down on him, making it difficult to breathe.
