The air around her felt thick, the buzzing in her ears drowning out everything else. She could hear the frantic pounding of her own heart-heavy, erratic, panicked.

The words tangled together, forming a truth too sharp to ignore. “This... this can't be right..." Her voice was barely more than a whisper, fragile and unsteady. The color drained from her face.
Why would Noah do this? He had helped Kyla win the Starlight Stone, only to sell it to her for next to nothing. Was this stwisted game? A way to humiliate her? Or... was there something more to it? Lionel exhaled, his voice softer now. "I know this is a lot to take in, but the facts speak for themselves. Whether you believe it or not, Mr. Wall isn't as indifferent as you think." His hand rested lightly on her shoulder, a small gesture of comfort.
Sadie forced herself to breathe, to push through the chaos in her mind. She straightened slightly, finding her voice. "Thank you for tellingthis, Mr. Morgan. I'll handle this myself.” After Lionel left, Sadie remained in the studio, her gaze fixed on the restored "Dewy Hibiscus." With deliberate care, she placed it into a sleek, velvet-lined box. Then, without hesitation, she grabbed her car keys and headed for Stonemont Estate.
The estate was as opulent as ever, with its towering gates and immaculate garden. Pulling into the driveway, Sadie took a steadying breath before stepping out. She rang the doorbell.
"Miss Hudson, welcome!" The butler greeted her with polished civility, opening the gates.

Sadie walked through the marble-clad corridors, her heels clicking against the polished floor. The grand interior led her to an open garden, where Eva sat like a vision of effortless elegance. A glass of red wine rested in her hand, her crimson gown draping around her like a waterfall of silk.
At the sight of her, Eva's lips curved into a knowing smile. “Sadie, you made it." She set down her glass, her eyes flickering with interest. "So? Do you have it?" Sadie gave a small nod, handing over the box. "Here." Eva's fingers moved with precision, lifting the lid as if unveiling a masterpiece. For a moment, she simply stared. Then, admiration lit up her features. "It's exquisite. The craftsmanship, the detail-every part of it is breathtaking." "I'm glad you think so." Sadie forced a polite smile.
"What's wrong?" Eva asked, tilting her head slightly. "You don't look liken someone who just completed a masterpiece." Eva's gaze sharpened as she studied Sadie.
Sadie hesitated. A part of her wanted to keep everything bottled up, to deal with it alone—but another par m needed to say it out loud. She took a breath and told Eva everything. About Noah. About Kyla. About the Starlight Stone.
"Noah... he actually did that?" Eva leaned back slightly brows drawn in genuine surprise.
