Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1130 Tristan's Well-Intentioned Efforts

The room felt like it hit freezing point.

Tristan had never lost his cool with Sadie before. He'd always corrected her mistakes without much fuss.

Even when he did scold her in Newark, it was just a quick remark.

In almost twenty years, he'd never been this harsh.

He was always firm. Anyone else would've been kicked out long ago, but Sadie kept pushing his buttons. He kept giving her chances.

When he saw she was still hesitating, he got really mad. Today, he gave her a final warning.

"The only reason I'm letting you return to the James family with the kids is because of Eleanor," Tristan said. "Otherwise, with your lack of ambition, even if you were my sister, I'd have kicked you out long ago!" "I'm sorry," Sadie mumbled, head down, not daring to look at him.

"You have three days to decide. After that, give the Louis family a clear answer," Tristan ordered. "Got it?"

"I got it," Sadie nodded.

Tristan gestured for her to leave.

Sadie left quietly.

Terry walked her out.

As they went down the spiral staircase, Terry whispered, "Ms. James, Mr. James really has your best interests at heart."

"Yeah," Sadie nodded sadly. "I know. He's been looking out for me."

"Not just that," Terry said, glancing around. "The main reason Mr. James wants you to marry Joe is because the James Group is in trouble, and he's worried it'll affect you." "What?" Sadie was shocked. "What's happening?"

"Shh," Terry quickly hushed her, signaling to keep it down.

"What's going on?" Sadie asked quietly, pressing for details.

"Some things are better left unknown," Terry frowned.

He told her slowly in a serious voice, "Mr. James has always kept you out of family and business conflicts to protect you. For the past two years, he's had you manage overseas markets and even opened the market in Country C for you. Even though the Sapphire Depths project in Newark failed, the stadium project in Country C is going well. If you marry Joe, it would be ideal. You'd have a good future, and he wouldn't worry. If you don't, he'll still leave you a way out. He's cold to everyone else, but to you, he's better than a real brother. Don't let him down."

Sadie felt conflicted. She always thought Tristan was cold and ruthless. She respected and feared him more than she felt any sibling bond.

She had no idea he had done so much for her behind the scenes.

"One more thing," Terry said seriously. "Mr. James hates Micah. If he sees him again, he might kill him. Don't let Micah come to England, or it'll be bad."

"I understand. Thanks for the warning," Sadie said gratefully. "But what about Tristan?"

"He doesn't want you involved, so stay out of it," Terry said firmly. "Besides, you can't do anything about it. Just focus on your own matters."

"Alright," Sadie nodded helplessly and turned to leave.

"Ms. Sadie James," Terry called out again.

"What?" Sadie stopped and looked back.

Terry said with a complicated expression, "Did you know? The day Ms. Eleanor James brought Mr. James back to the James family, it was snowing heavily, just like today when you brought Noah back."
