Chapter 282 Findings
Perched on the city’s edge, Cloudridge Estate belonged to the Wall family. Nestled against the mountains, it offered
tranquility and breathtaking scenery.
A faint unease began to stir within Sadie’s heart.
She responded with composure, “Got it. Please inform Nigel that I will arrive on time.”
“Very well,” said Gabriel, then disconnected the call.
Placing her phone down, Sadie inhaled deeply.
The unexpected invite from Nigel threw her for a loop, filling her with a strange tension.
Turning her gaze, she saw Averi, who lay peacefully sleeping next to her, his features relaxed into a contented smile.
Her hand gently stroked his cheek, and warmth flooded her heart.
“I love you, Averi,” she whispered, as though to reinforce her resolve.
Seeing that Averi was deep in sleep, Sadie rose and made her way to the
study.

Opening her laptop, she started working.
As minutes morphed into hours, Sadie was still absorbed in her tasks, seeking to alleviate her discomfort through diligence.
Frustration mounting, she stood and went to fetch a glass of water.
Accidentally, her hand brushed a file folder on the desk’s edge.

A crease formed on her brow, suspicion stirring within her.

Among them, she uncovered the specifics of a vehicular accident, including the driver’s identity and screenshots from the surveillance footage at the scene.
Sadie’s heart raced, her breath catching.
“Ryder…” she whispered, staring at the driver’s name.
The name Ryder sparked an intense reaction.
