NovelFinishChapter 876: The room was stunned into further disbelief. No one understood what they were witnessing.
Even Sadie hadn't expected such a bold and deliberate move. Her brows drew together slightly as she turned to look at Noah.
Their eyes met. And in that fleeting moment, something unspoken passed between them—a spark, sharp and undeniable.

Was it just their imagination? The man, composed and enigmatic, cloaked in quiet power. The woman, poised and radiant, carrying an air of untouchable elegance. Together, they formed a striking tableau—an unlikely, yet hauntingly perfect harmony.

Rodger's smile faltered. A twitch of discomfort pulled at the corner of his mouth.
Sadie-young as she was-spoke with a poise and authority that left no room forrebuke.
After all, she was the chairwoman of the Wall Group. And with Patrick seated calmly beside her, exuding quiet dominance, Rodger knew better than to challenge her position.
Quickly, he composed himself, forcing his smile wider his voice how laced with a touch of deference.
