âThis document needs your signature today,â he informed her.
Sadie took the file and flipped through it absentmindedly. Without signing, she peered up and questioned, âAny updates on Coyle and his son?â
Samuel hesitated for a beat before answering. âCoyle is by Suttonâs side at the hospital today. Nothing suspicious. Briley, however, has been seen near the Howe Manor a lot lately, like sheâs digging for somethingâ¦â Samuel reported truthfully.
Sadieâs frown deepened as unease settled in. Briley sniffing around Howe Manor could only spell trouble.
âShadow Briley closely and report anything unusual.â
âUnderstood, Ms. Hudson,â Samuel replied before heading out.
One day, Briley stood once again outside the grand entrance of Howe Manor. She had long lost track of how many times sheâd been turned away. The butler stood firm, his voice formal but clearly irritated.
âMiss Wall, Iâve mentioned this beforeâMr. Howe has no time for visitors. Please, go.â
Briley forced a polite smile, struggling to keep her frustration in check.

âI promise, this is something Alex would want to hear.â
The butler, however, was unmoved, his patience thinning.
âMiss Wall, kindly donât press further. Mr. Howeâs schedule is beyond my control.â
Before Briley could argue, the butler gestured for security.
Immediately, a guard approached, clearly ready to escort her away.
Brileyâs expression turned sour, but arguing further would only disgrace her. Frustrated, she bit her lip and tightened her fists.
In the end, retreat was her only option. Briley stifled her rage, determined to walk through the gates with confidence and composure one day, proving to all that she was not someone to be underestimated. She made her way back to her home.
Inside the living room, Coyle sat comfortably, reviewing a document, a rare grin revealing his cheerful mood.
Brileyâs curiosity got the better of her.
âDad, whatâs the good news?â she inquired.
Coyle lifted his gaze, his grin broadening at the sight of his daughter. He said enthusiastically, âCome here, Briley. Iâve got to show you this.â
He passed the document to Briley.
As Briley unfolded it, her eyes widened in disbelief. It was the Wall Groupâs share transfer agreementâbearing Sadieâs name as the recipient.
Briley stared at her father, stunned.
âDad, whatâ¦â
Coyleâs lips curled into a smug smirk. âSadieâs cornered nowâthereâs no escape.â
Brileyâs heart raced. She had long harbored resentment toward Sadie, and now victory seemed within reach. The thought filled her with satisfaction.
After a brief pause, Coyle added thoughtfully, âBy the way, youâll accompany me to Wall Manor tomorrow.â
Briley raised an eyebrow, confused.
