Chapter 482 Termination
Of Contract
Hailey’s pulse raced as she discovered that Sutton intended to meet with her and Noah that evening
What if Sutton lost control and exposed the video?
Anxiety gnawed at her as she paced restlessly in her room.
She couldn’t let him destroy everything she had built.
Just then, Noah arrived home.
Forcing herself to regain composure, she went to greet him.
“Noah, where have you been?”
Noticing her pale face, Noah narrowed his eyes. “You don’t look well. What’s wrong?”
Hailey’s heart pounded, but she quickly masked it with a reassuring smile.
“Nothing. I was just concerned about you.”
Carefully, she probed, “Now that Coyle has taken over Wall Group, how do you plan to manage our collaboration?”
“I’ll handle it. There’s no need to worry,” Noah replied indifferently, brushing past her on his way to the study.
A deep unease settled over Hailey.
Something about Sutton’s request didn’t sit right with her.
After weighing her options, she chose not to inform Noah about the meeting.
She returned to her room, changed into comfortable attire, and then hesitated before slipping a small firearm into her
waistband.
Standing before the mirror, she adjusted her outfit and took a steadying breath.
No matter what, she had to put an end to Sutton’s threats.
She wouldn’t allow anyone to dismantle what she had fought for.
Upon arrival at the Eastwood Manor, Hailey noted the eerie silence–a fitting setting for settling old scores.
A cold smirk touched her lips as she stepped into the private suite.
Sutton’s expression was dark, his mere presence making her stomach turn, but she greeted him with a pleasant smile.
“Mr. Wall, I hope I didn’t keep you waiting too long.”
A low chuckle escaped Sutton, his gaze filled with mockery.

Swallowing her revulsion, Hailey leaned in, her voice turning honeyed
“Rutton, I’ve missed you.”
With that, she pressed herself against him, subtly reaching for the weapon hidden at her waist.
Pleased by her sudden shift in demeanor, Sutton chuckled smugly and gestured for his men to leave
“All of you, get out. No interruptions until I say so.”
The bodyguards exchanged glances but followed orders, exiting the room.
Outside, they gathered, speaking in hushed tones.
“What do you think is going on in there?” one of them murmured.
Another smirked. “Isn’t it obvious? Though… isn’t Mr. Wall unable ”
“Keep your voice down! Do you want to get into trouble?”
Though no one said it outright, they all knew Sutton had lost a certain capability.
“Maybe he just enjoys making her dance to his tune, feeding his twisted desires,” one guard chuckled, prompting crude laughter from the others.
Just then, a waiter approached with a tray.
“Gentlemen, the manager has arranged refreshments for you. Please, this way”
The guards‘ eyes lit up.
It seemed their boss wouldn’t be done anytime soon, and they were more than ready for a break.
“Excellent service. Much appreciated!”
They followed the waiter into the next room, oblivious to the scarlet liquid slowly seeping beneath the locked door.
The next morning, at Riverside Villa, Coyle was leisurely enjoying his breakfast when he noticed the butler hesitating to speak. Setting his utensils aside, he frowned.
“Where’s Sutton? Why hasn’t he come down yet?”
Normally, Sutton would have joined him by now, but today, he was absent.
“Sir, Mr. Sutton Wall didn’t return home last night,” the butler replied cautiously.

Coyle’s expression darkened.
“Where did that fool run off to this time?”
That bastard had a habit of indulging in reckless behavior instead of handling serious matters.
“Sir, his security team reported that he met with someone from the Burgess Group last night, supposedly to discuss a deal,” the butler hurriedly explained.
Coyle’s irritation faded, replaced by mild amusement.
He leaned back with a smirk. “Well, well. Maybe the boy finally grew a brain. I might’ve underestimated him.”
His mood lifted as he finished breakfast.
However, upon arriving at his office, he was met with his assistant, who looked visibly shaken.
“Mr. Wall, bad news!”
Sensing something amiss, Coyle arched a brow.
“What’s with the panic? The world’s still standing, isn’t it?”
With a pale face, the assistant swallowed hard. “Sir, we received a message from Mr. Noel–he intends to void our contract!”
Coyle’s expression shifted instantly.
“What nonsense are you spouting? Say that again.”
The assistant’s voice trembled as he repeated, “Mr. Noel has officially informed us that Burgess Group will only work with
their chosen partner. Now that our leadership has changed, they see no reason to continue the agreement. They’re sending
someone over to finalize the termination, and they’re willing to pay any penalty required. They refuse to proceed.”
