Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1072 She Escaped

"Silly girl, we're family. No need to be so formal!" Sadie patted her hand and turned to leave.

Serena watched Sadie go, her face a mix of emotions, like she wanted to say something but held back.

Just as Sadie grabbed the door handle, Serena called out, "Sadie!"

"Hmm?" Sadie turned around. "What's up?"

"The wind's strong tonight; dress warmly," Serena gently reminded.

"I know." Sadie smiled and left.

Serena stared at the closed door, feeling down. Her mood turned somber as she glanced at Mia on the bed, her expression complicated again.

Sadie went back to her room, put on some makeup, changed into black clothes, and left with her entourage. Before leaving, she told the staff to keep everyone safe and avoid any accidents. They nodded respectfully. In the car, Arya asked casually, "Why don't we take Mia with us now?"

"Are you serious? If we take her now, how are we supposed to get things done?" Annika rolled her eyes. "Mr. James's people are waiting down the mountain. If we take her, how will we manage?"

"Oh, right." Arya suddenly got it. "But if things get really tense, it wouldn't be smart to send Mia over later either. Maybe we shouldn't let her go at all?"

"That's not necessary," Annika said matter-of-factly.. "Mr. James probably just wants to show the strength and grace of the James Group and get the person in charge of the Sapphire Depths project to sign the documents." "Exactly." Sadie nodded. "Even if Tristan doesn't like the Clemens family, he won't cause trouble at the funeral!"

"That's good." Arya sighed in relief and started the car.

At the foot of the mountain, a group was already waiting. Eight cars, everyone in black suits, looking serious. Even the cars were changed from silver to black.

Sadie looked at the crowd, her brow furrowed. "Tristan is trying to intimidate the Clemens family!"

"What should we do?" Annika asked quietly.

"What else? Follow Tristan's orders."

Sadie got out and greeted Tristan's people, then followed the convoy to the Clemens family's villa.

On the way, Arya asked, confused, "Annika, what does it mean to intimidate the Clemens family?"

"Sapphire Depths project failed, and now we're pulling out of Newark. People might think we're scared of the Clemens family and are retreating," Annika explained.

"Got it." Arya suddenly understood. "So Mr. James is doing all this to show that the James family isn't scared of the Clemens family but that we just don't want to be involved here anymore." "You finally get it." Annika laughed.

"You should learn more from Annika, or you'll suffer sooner or later," Sadie sternly reminded.

"Yes." Arya bit her lip and stayed quiet.

Annika smiled and was about to discuss the documents with Sadie when her phone rang. She answered, "Hello!"

After hearing something, Annika's face changed dramatically. She urgently reported to Sadie, "Ms. James, we just got news that Amelia escaped from prison!"

"What?" Sadie was shocked. "Wasn't she caught? How did she escape?"

"Since the case hasn't gone to trial yet, she was being held at the police station. She suddenly fell ill today and was taken to the hospital, where she managed to escape," Annika explained. "Stop the car," Sadie ordered decisively. "Send people to replace Amelia!"

"Yes."

Arya stopped the car, and Annika left with people from another car to search for Amelia.

Annika knew how important Amelia was to Sadie. The person who killed Brenda and humiliated her must couldn't get away with it.
