Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1180 Looking for Mary

Sadie crashed for a bit, and when she woke up, it was pouring outside. She hit up Annika and asked, "The kids back yet?"

"Not yet. Just checked. Duchess Louis took them to the vineyard for lunch. They're having a blast. Arya and Jesse are with them, so no worries about safety," Annika said. "Noah should be back for his online class by now," Sadie said, glancing at her watch. "And it's almost time for Mia's treatment."

"Yeah, I'll check." Annika was about to make a call when she heard a car pull up. She went to the balcony and then reported back, "Noah and Mia are back."

"I'll go see them." Sadie said softly. She changed her clothes and walked out just as Noah was coming upstairs.

"Mom!" Noah greeted with a big smile.

"Noah, did you have fun?" Sadie bent down to ruffle his hair.

"It was awesome. I learned how to ride a horse," Noah said proudly. "Jesse taught me. Next time I see Nathan, I'm gonna show off so he stops saying all I do is study." Sadie couldn't help but laugh. "See, there are things you're not good at, but if you just try, you can nail them, right?"

"Yeah, totally." Noah nodded earnestly. "I'll try more stuff in the future, Mom."

"That's the spirit." Sadie said, feeling a wave of pride. "I just want you to pick up some survival skills and get more exercise."

"I know." Noah hugged Sadie. "Mom, I'm heading to my room for my online class. Mia's downstairs for her treatment. You should go be with her."

"Okay." Sadie watched Noah scamper off to his room before heading downstairs herself.

Just then, a servant rushed in, "Ms. Sadie James, Ms. Mary James is missing."

"What?" Sadie was shocked, her heart skipped a beat. "What happened?"

The servant quickly explained, "Apparently, Duchess Louis and the kids were playing hide and seek in the vineyard, but Mary suddenly disappeared. Duchess Louis is really worried and is searching everywhere." "I'm on it." Sadie said, quickly changing her shoes and heading to the vineyard.

"Sadie, wait up." Joe, who had heard the news, rushed downstairs. "I'll go with you."

"Okay," she agreed, her anxiety clear.

She turned to Annika and said, "You stay here and take care of Noah and Mia."

"Got it." Annika replied without hesitation.

Sadie and Joe arrived at the vineyard, where Amanda was still searching for Mary with others.

As soon as Amanda saw Sadie, she quickly apologized, "Sadie, I'm so sorry. I just wanted to play with the kids, but then..."

"It's not your fault," Sadie said politely, then turned to Arya and demanded, "What happened?"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Sadie James." Arya hesitated but didn't make excuses. "Our people are still looking. We will definitely replace Ms. Mary James."

"Where are Emma and Donna?" Sadie demanded, her voice sharp.

"They're resting at the winery. Jessica and the others are watching them," Arya replied apologetically. "Jesse got a message early and went out to patrol."

"Just because he's not here, you can't keep an eye on Mary?" Sadie angrily scolded. "Go replace her immediately. If anything happens to Mary, you'll be held responsible."

"Yes." Arya asserted before quickly gathering more people to assist in the search.

"Who was the last person to see Mary?" Sadie asked.

"It was me," Barbara quickly stepped forward and replied timidly. "Duchess Louis and I were playing hide-and-seek with the three girls. I saw Mary counting with her back to us before I closed my eyes, but then..." "Where? Take me there," Sadie interrupted.

"This way," Barbara said, leading Sadie and Joe deep into the vineyard.

The place was beautiful, with grapevines full of grapes, but Sadie had no time to admire it. She bent down, peering through the dense foliage as she called out, "Mary, Mary, come out. The hide-and-seek game is over. It's time to go home."
