Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1109 The Implication of the Will

"Remember how you used to be? Kinda cute, right?" Micah chuckled, handing Sadie a glass of juice.

"Cute? More like dumb," Sadie scoffed, taking a sip.

"I thought it was cute," Micah said, smiling as he picked up the paper. "Sometimes being a little foolish isn't so bad."

"If I wasn't foolish, you couldn't have tricked me," Sadie shot back.

"Wasn't it a neat trick?" Micah raised an eyebrow. "We were happy, and you kept the kids a secret from me."

"I raised them. Why would I give them to you? You were so unpredictable and cold. How could I trust you wouldn't take them away?" Sadie paused, realizing her fears had come true.

She had hoped love would conquer all and let the kids return to the Clemens family, believing Micah would protect her. But the Clemens family took the kids and pushed her out.

"I'm sorry I didn't protect you," Micah said regretfully. "It's too late now, but I hope..."

"No hope left," Sadie cut him off. "We're strangers now, and that's for the best."

Micah frowned but stayed silent.

"Please leave. I need to rest," Sadie snapped.

"Alright, I'll call you for lunch," Micah said quietly, leaving and closing the door.

Sadie listened to the door close, looked at the signature on the paper, and felt a deep sadness. Micah had changed a lot-he was now humble, patient, and gentle, the man she had once wanted. But she had changed too, and they could never go back.

Feeling emotional, she rummaged through a drawer and found Edmond's will. Reading it again, she noticed something. Edmond had warned her that calling a certain number would change her life drastically and to avoid it unless desperate. But Tristan had been good to her, saving her, encouraging her, teaching her, and making her the second-largest shareholder of the James Group. Why didn't Edmond want her to return to the James family? What was he worried about? Was it because the James family was too complicated?

Tristan had never forced her to do anything. His suggestions and orders were always for her benefit. The James family felt like salvation, not an abyss.

Still, Edmond's worries must have had a reason. He was always farsighted and never said things without meaning.
