Raymond watched the car speed away, growing more uneasy by the second. "Why do I feel like I've been tricked? Why does everything feel off? I need to get the kids back." "Raymond, please don't make a fuss," Silas said quickly. "Micah was right; he cares more about the kids than you do. There's no way he'd let the James family take them away. You can relax."

"But he's driving so fast, it feels like a conspiracy," Raymond said anxiously. "Micah has gotten cunning. He used to confront me directly, but now he's learned to deceive me. Look at what he said today; he would never have said those things before."

"This is a good thing; it means he's matured," Silas assured him. "Micah is so accomplished in the business world. You should trust him." "But-"

"Please, don't stir up any more trouble," Silas urged. "Think about it. Why would the James take Dr. Henry? Isn't it because Ms. James was humiliated at our place before? Back then, you humiliated Ms. James for Ella's sake, which was a huge insult to her. Now, Ms. James doesn't want to come to the Clemens, but she still wants the kids, so she came up with this plan. As long as you don't interfere, Micah will eventually win Ms. James over. Maybe she'll come back to the Clemens, and the whole family will be reunited and happy."

"You're dreaming," Raymond said irritably. "Even if they both agree, do you think Tristan will let it go? The feud between the James and the Clemens isn't that easy to resolve." "That's true."

"I'm still uneasy. Send someone to follow them," Raymond ordered. "Don't disturb them. Just keep an eye on Micah. See if he leaves or stays after dropping the kids off at Hillside Villa."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

The black Rolls-Royce Phantom headed towards Hillside Villa.

The kids were happily imagining a life together as a family of seven. Micah looked at them tenderly, feeling a surge of emotion.

He had initially wanted to appease Raymond with some made-up reasons, but now he thought it might actually be nice to stay there.

Not only could he watch over the kids, but he could also get closer to Sadie.

Thinking of this, Micah smiled faintly.

"Micah, there's a car following us," Rylan reported. "It looks like it's Raymond's people."

"Should we lose them?" Rodolfo asked.

"No need," Micah said calmly. "Just pretend we don't know. Keep driving."

"Yes, sir." Rodolfo continued driving.

"Drive faster." Micah checked his watch. Time was running short.

"Okay." Rodolfo sped up.

Micah was about to chat with the kids when his phone rang. He gestured to the kids and then answered the call, "Hello."

"Where are you now?" Sadie was anxiously waiting at home, but she pretended to be aloof on the phone.

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's not time yet," Micah teased.

"It's five minutes to seven. My people have their guns ready. If you don't bring them here, I'll go to Mr. Raymond's place and take them myself."

As she spoke, Sadie fired a shot at a nearby tree branch.

The branch fell with a loud "bang," startling a flock of birds.

Micah was speechless. Sadie really had a fiery temper now.

"Four minutes left!" Sadie had lost her patience and ordered. "Get the car ready. We're leaving!" "Yes!"

"We're almost there," Micah said hurriedly. "We're already halfway up the hill."

"Don't lie to me." Sadie hung up and then ordered, "Check the surveillance. See if they've arrived." "Yes!"
