RedNovelChapter 711: Sadie's weary eyes drifted to the document—a stock transfer contract. They weren't even pretending to be patient.
A wry smile ghosted across her lips as she rasped, "How kind of you, Briley, to deliver it yourself." Without hesitation, Sadie grasped the pen and, with slow determination, signed her name.
Sadie looked like she was half-dead at this point. Briley stared at her, feeling a fresh surge of anger.

There was nothing Briley wanted more than for her rival to disappear for good.
Her eyes flashed briefly with malice, but she plastered a concerned look on her face as she approached.
"Sadie, do your wounds still hurt?" Briley asked, her hand reaching for Sadie's back.
A cold glint appeared in Sadie's eyes. Such petty tricks were pathetic and laughable to her.

A sharp, cracking sound echoed in the room as her palm landed on Briley's cheek.
Briley's eyes were wide with shock, her hand immediately coming up to cup her swelling cheek. "How dare you slap me!" Sadie gave her a look that said she didn't care.

"I'm warning you," Sadie said in a chilling voice. "If I die here today, none of you will get away unscathed. The world will think that you and your dear old father droveto death just to get your hands on the family assets, and they wouldn't be wrong. When that happens, what do you think is going to happen to the Wall Group's stock price?" Briley gritted her teeth. Though she loathed to admit it, she was intimidated by Sadie's overwhelming presence. Moreover, if Sadie did die here in Wall Manor, the outside world would surely suspect that they had orchestrated it in one way or another. Wall Group's stock price would plummet, and it would possibly even attract regulatory investigations.
No, this wasn't what Briley or Coyle wanted.
Still, Briley refused to back down. "Your words are nothing more than empty threats. They don't scare me. The elders were right to punish you for the disgrace you brought upon this family. It has nothing to do with us."
Sadie sneered. "Is that so? You'd better hope that's the Otherwise promise, I will haunt you promiseven from the grave."
Briley sputtered into silence, terrified by Sadie's sinister gaze Furious at her reaction, she turned on her heel and stormed out of the room. Silence crept in.
Sadie exhaled slowly, her tense nerves finally relaxing. She was no longer the Sadie from three years e ago, after all. Gone was the woman they used to bully, the one who would choose to take it all without putting up a fight.
