Chapter 242 Contempt

As Sadie and Averi left the kindergarten, their hands intertwined, Averi clutched a handmade pinwheel. It spun with each skip he took, his laughter filling the air.

“Look, Mommy! See how fast my pinwheel spins?” Averi shouted joyfully, holding it up.

Warmly, Sadie smiled and tousled his hair. “It truly is amazing You’re so talented, Averit

However, the sudden ringing of her phone interrupted their moment.

With a slight sense of dread, Sadie glanced at her phone, seeing Nanette’s name on the caller ID.

“Hello, Nanette?”

Nanette’s voice, heavy with tears, barely made it through the line. A tightness formed in Sadie’s chest. “Sadie… Boohoo…”

“Nanette, what’s happened? Calm down and talk to me,” Sadie said, her concern audible.

“It’s Dewy Hibiscus… they are broken… Boohoo… What do we do now?” Nanette said through her tears.

“Broken? How on earth did that happen?”

Tears uncontrollably escaped Nanette as she stammered, “I was just… I bumped into someone from Wall Group. He was also delivering jewelry… Boohoo…”

Maintaining her composure was a struggle for Sadie.

“Take a breath, Nanette. What exactly did the Wall Group staff member do?”

“He pushed me… and then… the jewelry pieces fell and shattered…. Boohoo… Sadie, what should we do now?”

Paleness washed over Sadie’s face swiftly.

Could it have been Kyla’s subordinate?

Deliberate, not accidental, she suspected.

“Nanette, tell me where you are. Stay calm. I’m coming to you.”

“I’m still at Stonemont Estate…”

“Stay there. I’m on my way,”

After ending the call, Sadie knelt to meet Averi’s gaze, managing a reassuring smile. “Honey, Mommy has to handle something important quickly. We’re going to make a stop first, alright?”

Averi responded with a nod, his voice soft, “Okay, Mommy.”

With urgency, Sadie sped towards Stonemont Estate.

Chapter 242 Contempt

What were they to do now with them in pieces?

This had Wall Group’s fingerprints all over it.

Sadie’s resolve hardened; she wouldn’t let them get away with this.

Upon reaching Stonemont Estate, she found Nanette by the entrance, sobbing uncontrollably.

back.

Swiftly, Sadie approached and enveloped Nanette in a warm embrace, soothing her with gentle pats on the back. “Don’t worry, Nanette. I’m here now.”

Tears streaked Nanette’s cheeks as she gazed up at Sadie, her face a mask of sorrow. “Sadie, what are we going to do?”

The sight of Nanette’s despair wrenched Sadie’s heart.

“Show me where it happened.”

Nanette guided Sadie to the scene, where the remnants of gemstones lay scattered like colorful tears on the ground. What had once been the magnificent Dewy Hibiscus now lay in ruins.

A sharp pain twisted in Sadie’s chest, cutting deeper with every breath. “Where is the Wall Group staff member?” she asked. “There,” Nanette said, pointing towards a man in a suit nearby.

Turning her attention to where Nanette pointed, Sadie observed the man engaged in a phone conversation, his back to them. His build and stance struck a familiar chord in Sadie as she squinted, trying to make out his features.

The moment he turned, Sadie’s eyes narrowed.

There stood Percy Webster, Kyla’s right–hand man.

As Percy ended his phone conversation, a self–satisfied smirk appeared on his face. He approached Sadie and Nanette, jewelry box in hand, the lid slightly open revealing hints of the treasure inside.

“Enough with the drama already,” Percy said arrogantly, scanning Sadie and Nanette with evident disdain.

“Look, I never laid a finger on her. She’s the one who dropped it, and now she wants to blame me? Really, know your place.” As her tears streamed down her face, Nanette replied, “That’s a lie. You definitely pushed me. I had the Dewy Hibiscus in my hands, and you just barged into me. There was no chance for me to even react.”

Percy snorted mockingly, his face contorted with scorn. “Be careful with your accusations, young lady. Words like those can land you in hot water. Best to own up to your own clumsiness now, or you’ll find yourself deeply regretting it later.”

Nanette recoiled, her hand gripping Sadie’s arm for support.

As Sadie’s face turned stormier by the second, she barely contained her rising anger. “What are you implying. Percy

Webster?”

Undeterred, Percy locked eyes with Sadie, his smirk growing. “It’s quite straightforward. Your employee caused the damage. herself and now she points the finger at me, correct?”

He gazed at Nanette dismissively, his voice laden with derision. “Quite attractive for someone so clumsy, aren’t you? If you’re aiming to climb the ladder, try a more legitimate approach.”

Nanette’s cheeks burned with humiliation and rage at the overt insult, and she cried even louder than before.
