FakeNovelChapter 804: Inside the room, Hailey lay curled beneath her blanket, motionless.
The distant sound of Noah's voice struck her like a stone.
She picked up on the faint irritation in his tone, and dread began to rise.
She clenched her teeth, her voice strained and muffled beneath the blanket. "I'm okay. Noah, if divorcingand marrying her is truly what you want, I won't fight it.

He took a slow breath and answered, his tone composed. "The alliance between Burgess Group and Wall Group is strictly professional. Don't let it trouble you." His words were meant to ease the tension, but to Hailey, they cut deeper.

She sniffed, her voice choked with sobs as she questioned him. "Noah! Have you really forgotten who sadie is? Have you forgotten how she seized control of Wall Group? How she impersonated your wife? She's nothing but an unscrupulous bitch!" Noah's frown deepened.
"Don't talk nonsense, Hailey," he replied, his voice edged with disapproval. "I can can dearge for myself who's sincere and who's playing games. Right now, what you need is rest. Nicholas has prepared something light for you. Eat it."
