Chapter 623

Chapter 623:

Sadie was no longer looking at Alex, and her voice was hushed. She was dismissing him.

Sure enough, she brushed past him without waiting for a response, never looking back.

Alex’s emotions roiled inside him.

Once the funeral was over, Sadie went to the Social Security Bureau alone to handle the termination of her grandmother’s social security benefits.

When she left less than an hour later, she headed to her grandma’s apartment in a daze.

She was approaching the building when a familiar figure caught her eye: Samuel.

He seemed to have spotted her at the same time, as he immediately walked up to her.

“Mrs. Wall…” Samuel began, only to trail off, as if weighing his next words.

Not that it mattered to Sadie. She ignored him entirely and didn’t even break her stride as she continued walking.

“Mrs. Wall!” Samuel called out, his tone urgent this time.

That finally made Sadie pause, though she didn’t bother to turn around.

“Mrs. Wall, Mr. Wall has been preoccupied with very important matters these past few days. Hence, his absence at Mrs. Stewart’s funeral.” There was a tinge of desperation in Samuel’s voice as he explained. “This apartment is not suitable for you and Averi. Why don’t I arrange for some staff to take care of you and Averi?”

Sadie turned around then, slowly, her face blank. “That won’t be necessary. Tell Mr. Wall to spend all the time he wants with Miss Wade.”

Whatever Noah did or whoever he did it with no longer mattered to her.

“As for Kyla…” Sadie paused, unable to hide the hatred in her eyes. “I will make sure she faces the consequences.”

Samuel wanted to say more, but Sadie had already walked off and soon disappeared from sight.

He sighed heavily to himself. Some things needed to be explained by Mr. Wall himself. Samuel took out his phone and made a call.

“Mrs. Wall is at her grandma’s apartment. Send some people here to watch over her. Tell them to be discreet. It’s imperative that nothing happens to her and her son.”

After giving the instructions, Samuel hung up and left the premises. Meanwhile, Sadie had already reached her floor and opened the door to the apartment.

She padded into the living room. Everything was just as it should be. However, her grandmother would never sit there again, smiling at her with a greeting. “You’re home, Sadie!”

Sadie’s nose stung as the tears she had been holding back finally broke loose. She slid to the floor, where she crumpled into herself, hugging her knees and burying her face in her arms.

“Grandma, I miss you,” she whispered in between sobs.

As she mourned her grandmother’s death, her phone rang.

Sadie wiped her face and took it out of her purse. The screen displayed an unknown number.

“Is this Miss Hudson? My name is Xavier Hobbes, from the detective agency. We’ve made some progress on your case. When are you available to meet up?”

Shortly after Laura’s incident, Sadie had reached out to a private detective agency and hired them to investigate Kyla’s whereabouts.
