Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1201 Ready

The weather was awesome.

In the morning, the kids jumped outta bed and went straight to Amanda, asking if the magic troupe had shown up yet.

Amanda grinned and said they were on their way.

The kids were stoked and couldn't stop talking about the magic troupe to Sadie over breakfast.

Sadie casually asked about the magic troupe. Amanda gave a quick rundown.

Sadie was floored. Mia had mentioned yesterday that a magic troupe was coming to the estate today to put on a show, but she hadn't expected such a big production. This meant a whole bunch of staff would be bringing in all sorts of gear, setting up a stage, and getting ready for the evening's magic show.

Sadie couldn't ignore the potential risks. With so many outsiders around, it was a perfect chance for assassins from Country E to sneak in unnoticed.

Sadie immediately and tactfully brought this up with Amanda, suggesting they either cancel the show or keep it small with just a few performers.

Amanda wasn't having it. "I promised the kids a full-blown show, Sadie. I can't let them down now, and the troupe is almost here," she said. Before Sadie could argue more, a maid rushed in to say the magic troupe's convoy had arrived at the estate's gate.

Amanda quickly ordered them to let the convoy in and told her staff to welcome them.

Seeing Amanda's firm stance, Sadie knew it was pointless to argue further. She reminded the kids not to go to the lawn before the show officially started, as it would be dangerous while the stage was being set up. The kids nodded obediently.

Amanda was a bit annoyed. She said, "Sadie, you're being too cautious. Our people are everywhere here; the kids won't get into trouble. Besides, I've hired this magic troupe many times; they're all familiar faces. What exactly are you worried about?"

"Duchess Louis, you're overthinking it," Sadie quickly explained. "It's not that I'm worried, but Tristan will come to pick up the kids in a few days. I have to be careful. If anything goes wrong, I won't be able to explain it to him." Mentioning Tristan hit a nerve, and Amanda reluctantly agreed. "You're right. Better safe than sorry."

Then, Amanda loudly instructed the bodyguards and attendants. "Everyone, listen up. Outsiders are coming into the estate today. Stay alert and make sure the kids are safe. If anything goes wrong, you'll pay the price!"

"Yes!" everyone responded, heads down.

"Duchess Louis, thanks for your hard work," Sadie said, putting down her utensils and elegantly wiping her mouth with a napkin. "I'm done eating and would like to take a walk in the garden." "Go ahead," Amanda nodded.

"Sadie, I'll join you," Joe quickly stood up.

"No need, I need to call Tristan," Sadie politely declined.

Joe sat down, feeling bummed. He had a feeling Sadie had been growing colder toward him lately.

Amanda frowned at him but had no appetite to keep eating.

"Kids, wanna go play with Legos?" Arya said as she took the kids to the playroom, and Noah went back to his room for online classes.

The dining room was left with just Amanda and Joe, along with their attendants.

Amanda tried to comfort him, "Joe, pull yourself together. The more you act like this, the less Sadie will like you."

"Got it," Joe nodded, trying to pep himself up. "I'll go hang with the kids."

"Go ahead." Amanda nodded.

Watching Joe, Amanda couldn't help but sigh. From childhood to now, Joe had never achieved much, but he had never been as down as he was now.

If this situation couldn't be handled well, he might lose his confidence forever.

"Duchess Louis," Barbara hurried over at this moment and whispered in Amanda's ear, "Everything is ready."

"Be careful. The James family has eyes everywhere here," Amanda warned her in a low voice.

Barbara nodded. "Yes."
