Chapter 646

Chapter 646:

Tina nodded as she jogged to keep up with her. “That’s right. Briley hasn’t come in today.”

Sadie finally slowed her pace. “Notify the HR department that Briley is fired. Tell them to make a company-wide announcement to inform everyone.”

Tina was visibly taken aback, but she wasn’t one to question her boss. “Yes, I’ll get right to it.”

Once inside her office, Sadie sat behind her desk and picked up the documents sent by the detective. She spent the next half hour reviewing them.

They contained information on the Burgess Group and its chairman, Patrick Noel.

Much to Sadie’s dismay, the information she received was limited, with only a few notes about this Patrick guy.

Mysterious, low-key, and highly skilled.

That was how he was evaluated by the detective she had hired. By the time Sadie finished reading everything, her brows were knitted into a tight frown.

Whoever that man was, he really was mysterious to an excessive extent. Even the country’s top detective couldn’t find any useful information about his background.

It looked like he would be more challenging to deal with than Sadie had initially anticipated.

Still, the more elusive he was, the more determined she was to meet him.

After finishing the day’s work, Sadie clocked off and drove to Wall Manor.

No sooner had she walked through the foyer than a small figure barreled into her.

“Mommy!”

After three years, Averi had grown quite a bit. His baby fat had tapered into more refined features, and he looked more and more like Noah with each passing day.

Sitting on the sofa, Isabel smiled and waved Sadie over. “Come here, Sadie. Averi missed you so much.”

Sadie picked up her son and carried him into the living room, a rare smile gracing her face.

“Did you behave, Averi? Did you follow everything Grandma said?” Averi clung to his mother’s neck and nodded vigorously. “Yes! I always listen to Grandma’s words.”

Isabel’s expression grew tender as she watched mother and son.

Her attitude toward Sadie had changed drastically over the past three years. She used to dislike her daughter-in-law, but now, she treated Sadie like her own biological daughter. After what happened to Noah, Isabel had pinned all her hopes on Sadie and Averi.

Dinner was prepared by Isabel herself. The family sat around the dining table, enjoying a cozy and harmonious meal. They were still eating when a servant rushed in.

“Mrs. Wall, Mr. Coyle Wall and Mr. Sutton Wall have arrived.”

He had barely finished speaking when Coyle and Sutton stormed in with a group of bodyguards. Isabel’s smile vanished instantly. She slammed her utensils onto the table and demanded, “What do you think you’re doing in my home? Do you think Wall Manor is a shelter for the homeless now?”

Sadie met Gabriel’s eyes and gave him a silent signal. Gabriel wasted no time and quietly whisked Averi upstairs. Sadie rose from her seat and walked to Isabel’s side.

“Isabel,” she said softly, touching the older woman’s arm. “Don’t get worked up. You’ll make yourself ill with anger.”
