NovelEnglishChapter 195 Chapter 195: "Understood, Miss Hudson." Sadie's stilettos clicked against the tiled floor of the Wall Group building. She looked sharp and sophisticated in her beige pantsuit as she walked across the lobby with her head held high.
She entered the elevator, and as it slowly made its way up, she felt her heart pick up its pace. An inexplicable sense of trepidation began to creep into her chest. This was definitely not going to be a calm day.

"Well, well, if it isn't our big-shot designer, Sadie! How brave of you to show up for work today!" Jordyn was lounging in a chair, her legs crossed in front of her as she eyed Sadie up and down.
Sadie paused in her tracks and pinned her gaze on Jordyn. They stared at each other for a few seconds before Sadie turned away and went to her desk. She set her purse down and sat in her chair, ignoring Jordyn's provocation.
"What's the matter? Cat got your tongue? Or did all those nasty comments online finally get to you?" The lack of reaction to her taunts had emboldened Jordyn.
Sadie looked up, met Jordyn's gaze, and finally spoke. “If your concern is genuine, Ms. Vazquez, then I appreciate it. But if this is just another way to mock me, I'd really rather be left alone to focus on my work." "Work? You've got snerve to talk about work! Do you even realize what you've done? Taking bribes, using connections to get ahead... You've completely ruined this company's reputation!" Sadie gave her a tight but polite smile. "The investigation is still ongoing, but I see that you've already made your own judgments. Don't you think that's a little bit hasty of you? Or is it because you're actually the one pulling the strings from behind the scenes? You seem so eager to seeconfess to things I didn't do." Jordyn's expression shifted, her eyes flickering in what looked like panic, but she managed to compose herself in a matter of seconds. "What nonsense are you spewing now? I'm not pulling any strings. I am simply stating facts!" "Is that so? Let's wait for the results of the investigation, then, shall we?" Sadie's tone was a little icy. She turned her attention back to the files on her desk.

At last, the office was quiet and peaceful. Sadie put down the documents she had been trying to read and massaged her forehead.
At that smoment, in the CEO's office on the top floor, Samuel was standing before Noah's desk, offering up a file. "This is all the information you requested, sir."
Noah took the file and flipped it open, his eyes quickly skimming through the contents. The more he read, the deeper he frowned. "How's it going with the accusations of bribery against Sadie? Has it been cleared up yet?"
Samuel hesitated for a moment. "There's no concrete evidence ton present at the moment, but I'm afraid public opinion is highly unfavorable toward Miss Hudson." Noah slapped the file against his desk. "I want you to find out the truth as soon as possible. I don't want any more of these baseless rumors to make rounds."
"Yes, sir," Samuel replied with a slight bow, though a cloud of doubt hovered at the back of his mind. He wasn't quite sure what to make of Noah's attitude when it cto Sadie. On the surface, he didn't seem all too concerned about her affairs, yet he would go to such lengths to get her out of trouble. As a result, Samuel himself was confused about which stance to take in tackling this matter.
