Chapter 727 Chapter 727: Blaine's words struck Coyle where it hurt the most. His already forced smile almost faltered.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAsking Sadie to cback? No way! That woman was far too cunning for comfort. If she regained any semblance of control, Coyle doubted he and his family would have any peaceful days ahead. Given the circumstances, however, it seemed that their only viable option was to use Sadie to maintain the partnership with the Burgess Group, if only temporarily. But at the stime, it was crucial that Coyle still kept his position as chairman. He understood his priorities.
Swallowing his displeasure, he widened the fake smile on his face. "Now, Blaine, be careful with how you phrase things. What happened back then was just a misunderstanding." Blaine raised an eyebrow, his lips still curled into a faint smirk. He gave Coyle a sardonic look but said nothing else.
Coyle bristled under his gaze, and had to clear his throat twice before speaking again. “In any case, Sadie is still part of the Wall family. She couldn't possibly just stand by and do nothing while the Wall Group descends into chaos." He paused, his tone taking on a subtle, underlying threat. "Other than that, your family also has stakes in the company's fate. If the deal with the Burgess Group falls through, your family would suffer the repercussions as well, wouldn't you agree?" For full ch@pters, go to gl.☐☐☐ Blaine almost burst out laughing at that. The old bastard was actually trying to use his family's benefits to pressure him now? How absurd! Blaine pretended to give it sserious thought, then he nodded. "You make a valid point. We are all in this together. Bringing Sadie back wouldn't be impossible for me, but there is the matter of payment..." He trailed off meaningfully.
Coyle understood, of course. Much like Sadie, Blaine wouldn't lift a finger without the promise of a reward. Coyle wanted to curse at the young man, but he kept his rants to himself. With obvious reluctance, he produced a black card from his suit jacket and handed it over. "Consider this a small token of appreciation. Once you complete your task, you will have a more generous reward." Blaine's eyes lit up as he plucked the card without a second's hesitation. He flipped it between his fingers, his smile turning more genuine. "Rest assured, Mr. Wall. You can leave this matter to me. I'll handle it." With that, he stood up and sauntered out of the office with a wave of his hand.

The table didn't move an inch, but his foot was throbbing with pain. Coyle grimaced and clutched the toe of his shoe, his rage flaring up even further.
"That damn brat! How dare he extort me!" he growled, his chest heaving as he tried to catch his breath. The way Coyle saw it, Ralph's influence had emboldened Blaine to the point of disrespect. And that wretched Sadie! Once he dealt with the current obstacles, he would make sure those two were dispatched as well!
Coyle grabbed the landline and called his assistant. "Have you found Sutton you yet?" The other man's voice was trembling with trepidation. "Not yet, Sir." Coyle's anger surged again. "Useless! All of you are just a bunch of useless fools! You can't even find one person? Are you all completely incompetent? I don't care what it takes-find him!"
