NovelEnglishChapter 657: Sutton didn't mince his words. "Let's meet up. I know you and Patrick returned to the country ahead of schedule." Hailey was stunned to hear that, but she refused to give him the satisfaction of knowing he had caught her off- guard. "I must say, your intel is quite efficient." "What? Are you scared I would attack you or something?" Sutton chuckled. "Relax. I just want to catch up with an old friend." Hailey took a moment to consider it before eventually agreeing. "Where?" "Coastal Luxe." Hailey hung up and threw a glance at the staircase. Noah had been busy in the past few days, relentlessly digging into Sadie's background.
He looked just as tired as she had on the photo as he sat at his desk. Countless documents containing information on Sadie were scattered in front of him.

A part of his mind seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog, and whenever he tried to probe into it, his head would immediately get a dull ache. He was supposed to meet Sadie on Wednesday. He had to understand his opponent fully before then.
Half an hour later, at Coastal Luxe.
A pair of arms snaked around Hailey's waist as soon as she entered the room Sutton had booked for them. Her body stiffened at the contact.
"Still so sensitive," Sutton whispered intimately into her ear. Hailey whipped around and pushed him away, causing Sutton to land on the soft bed.
"What exactly do you want?" Hailey asked coldly, her brows furrowing into a frown.
"Oh, con. Don't be so distant,” Sutton said as he sat up and tried to reach for her face. “We've had good times, haven't we? We've even tried every position in bed." Hailey's expression turned even more aloof. "If you have nothing else to say, I'm leaving." Read more at galnovesShe turned away, but Sutton grabbed her arm. "Don't be in such a rush. I wanted to discuss a business deal with you." Intrigued, Hailey looked back, her eyebrows raised. "What business deal?" Sutton moved over to the sofa and gestured for her to join him.

She walked over to Sutton but didn't sit. Instead, she stood before him with a defiant glint in her eyes.
"Sutton, the Burgess Group is no longer what it used to be."
Undeterred, Sutton embraced her waist again and pulled her closer. "I know the real reason the Burgess Group shifted its business back to the country. But you've just returned. You need someone to teach you the ropes around the domestic market. This fifty-fifty split is quite suitable, don't you think?"
Sutton's voice carried a seductive persuasion, and Hailey felt swayed. He was right. She and Noah had returned early for the express m purpose of observing the local scene and assessing Wall Group's position. If she managed to get sinformation out of Sutton first, it would greatly benefit the Burgess Group. As for the division of assets that he was proposing, well, it might now be Sutton's decision to make in the future. Hailey smiled, her tone softening. "You've got yourself a deal."
Sutton flashed her a triumphant grin before pushing Hailey down onto the sofa so she was beneath him.
