Chapter 850

Chapter 850:

There was only one logical conclusion.

Nathan was trying to gain the Wall Group’s support to challenge Jarrett and the Johnsons.

But one question gnawed at Noah.

Sadie was known for her sharp mind and calculated moves. She only ever acted when the benefit was clear. What could Nathan—widely dismissed as a frivolous playboy—have offered her that was compelling enough to secure her cooperation so quickly?

Nathan smirked, his demeanor relaxed as he leaned forward, a hint of mystery lacing his tone.

“It involves the one Ms. Hudson cares about most.” His words were light, but carried a sharp undertone.

A crease formed on Noah’s forehead beneath the mask, an unexpected tightness blooming in his chest.

“Who?”

Nathan cleared his throat and narrowed his eyes with a playful glint before settling back into a more casual stance.

“Actually, it’s…” He let the sentence trail off deliberately, savoring the weight of the moment. “It’s…”

Before he could finish, Noah’s gaze turned icy and sharp.

Nathan’s pulse spiked. Instinctively, he abandoned the theatrics and got straight to the point.

“Her parents.”

The tension in the room eased slightly.

Noah’s expression shifted—just barely. He recalled the report Jack had delivered: years ago, the Hudson family’s business had collapsed, and Sadie’s parents had vanished, presumed dead.

Could it really be them?

Nathan watched the subtle change in Noah’s face with quiet satisfaction. He could tell he had struck the right chord.

With a shrug, Nathan slid easily back into his trademark smirk.

“As for anything else… well, Mr. Noel, you could beat me half to death right here, and I still wouldn’t have more to say. We’re businessmen, after all. No one plays their final card without seeing something real on the table first.”

Noah’s frown deepened, but he didn’t respond.

Nathan wasn’t wrong. There was no chance he’d reveal more about Sadie’s parents now.

Noah turned his head toward Jack.

Jack instantly understood.
