Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1073 Attending the Funeral

Sadie glanced at the dark, gloomy sky, feeling uneasy. It was like a curse; every time something went down, it was on a rainy day. She wondered what today had in store. "Ms. James, don't worry," Arya said casually. "Nelson's caught, Ella's dead, Nick's dead too, and Amelia can't do much on her own."

"That's true." Sadie nodded. The Lingston family had crumbled, leaving only Amelia. What could she possibly do by herself?

Still uneasy, Sadie called Serena. "Serena, be careful when you go out later. I'll send someone to pick you up. Don't go out alone, okay?"

"Got it. Don't worry," Serena replied, then asked, "Has something happened?"

"Nothing." Sadie didn't want to scare her. "Just stay with Mia for now. I'll call you later."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Sadie looked out the window. The car had entered the villa's greenway and was nearing Clemens Villa.

With Amelia alone, she'd probably head to the airport if she escaped. Even though the Lingston Group had collapsed, Amelia could still get some money. Maybe she had a passport and ticket ready, planning to leave Newark. But how did she escape on her own? Sadie couldn't figure it out.

"Ms. James, we're here!" Arya reminded.

Sadie realized the car had stopped. Two female bodyguards opened the door from outside. She put on her sunglasses, got out, and walked in with eighteen attendants.

Reporters swarmed, snapping pictures, almost breaking the protective cordon. The Clemens family's bodyguards quickly stepped in to control the situation.

Rylan hurried over, frowning. "Ms. James, what brings you here?"

"To pay my respects to Mr. Raymond Clemens." Sadie gestured, and Tristan's people handed over flowers and gifts. The bouquet included a heartfelt condolence message signed by Tristan and Sadie.

The reporters, excited, rushed to take pictures and videos, not wanting to miss this big story.

Rylan whispered instructions to his attendant, then stopped Sadie. "Sorry, Ms. James. I need Mr. Micah Clemens' permission before letting you in."

"Are you planning to let the reporters gather more material?" Sadie smiled. "I don't mind."

Reporters crowded over, vying to take pictures and ask questions.

"Ms. James, are you here for Raymond's funeral?"

"Ms. James, there are rumors that Raymond's death is related to you. Is this true?" "Ms. James, there are rumors that Micah's children are yours. Is this true?" Sadie remained silent.

Seeing this, Rylan instructed the attendants to disperse the reporters. Some guests inside came out to watch the commotion. Seeing Sadie with so many people, they were alarmed and quickly went inside to replace Micah. The sky started to rain. Sadie stood in the yard, getting wet and losing her patience.

Just as she was about to lose her temper, Rodolfo hurried out and conveyed to Rylan, "Rylan, Mr. Micah Clemens invites Ms. James in."

"Did you make it clear? Ms. James brought a lot of people," Rylan reminded in a low voice. "Are all these people allowed inside?"

"He saw it," Rodolfo replied quietly. "He said the James family are VIPs and must not be neglected."

Rylan had nothing to say and invited Sadie in. "Ms. James, please!"

Sadie walked in with her attendants. Arya followed closely, giving Rodolfo a cold glare. Rodolfo felt frustrated and led the way with his head down.
