Chapter XXX:

This couldn’t be happening. Noah, of all people, had folded? The guy was usually as tight-lipped as they came. How had Sadie managed to pry the truth out of him so easily?

Back then, no matter what he tried, Noah had never budged. Yet somehow, Sadie got him to spill everything? It didn’t make sense.

Samuel, who lingered by the door, showed a flicker of surprise at Sadie’s unexpected statement. When had Patrick supposedly confessed? Samuel hadn’t caught even a whisper about it. That’s when the realization hit—Sadie had to be bluffing. Samuel lowered his gaze, slipping easily into the role of an invisible bystander. A creeping sense of unease swept over Blaine, making his skin itch with anxiety.

He sneaked another glance at Sadie.

She sat there as if nothing could shake her—so completely in control that Blaine couldn’t tell whether she was bluffing or simply already knew every answer.

Could Noah truly betray him like that, all for a chance to win Sadie’s heart? To be honest, Blaine wouldn’t be surprised at all. It was obvious to anyone that Noah was utterly captivated by her.

After wrestling with his thoughts, Blaine decided there was no point in hiding anything. There was nothing he’d done that crossed a line, and Noah had betrayed him first. Besides, Sharon wasn’t in any danger.
