Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1220 Well-Prepared

Sadie was about to say something when an attendant rushed over, all flustered. "Ms. James, something bad's gone down. The Clemens family snatched Mr. Noah James and Ms. Mia James." "What?" Sadie's face went pale as she grasped the seriousness of the situation. She hiked up her long dress and bolted after Micah. "Micah, hold up!" she yelled.

Micah was already in the car, totally ignoring her.

"Micah," Sadie panted, leaning against the car window, "Where are you taking the kids? What's your deal?"

Micah didn't even look at her, just rolled up the window.

The car started moving, almost dragging Sadie along. Luckily, someone yanked her back just in time.

Sadie spun around, frantic. "Jesse? Go get the kids back, now."

"It's too late," Jesse said, frowning. "The Clemens family was ready for this. They snuck into the estate a month ago."

"What do you mean?" Sadie asked, stunned.

"Remember when you had someone check why the eagle Coco was sick?" Jesse explained. "The Clemens family poisoned it so it wouldn't spot them and alert you. A month ago, Rylan and a bunch of skilled bodyguards snuck in. When Mary got lost, it was them watching over her, which is why she was safe."

Jesse went on, "At first, they were just secretly guarding you and the kids. Last night, they pulled back to help Mr. Clemens. Early this morning, they had everything set. Mr. Clemens came to take you away. If the Louis family tried to stop them, there'd be a nasty fight. They didn't expect your incident last night. Mr. Clemens probably gave a last-minute order. If you didn't go with him, his men would take the kids."

Sadie finally got it. No wonder Craig was so freaked out earlier, even bowing and apologizing to Micah. He knew Micah was ready, and if they fought, the Louis family didn't stand a chance.

And in this mess, Jesse would definitely stay neutral.

Sadie never thought Micah had already sent people to protect her and the kids.

The two-month period he mentioned wasn't just about taking the kids. He never really gave up on any of them, or on her. He'd been handling stuff, planning to bring her and the kids back together. But her sudden incident messed up his plans.

So, he just took the kids.

"Sorry, Ms. James," Jesse said, sounding regretful. "I underestimated Micah. For the past six months, he kept a low profile, even backing off in many situations, making me think he was weak. I didn't expect he was just biding his time, with everything planned out. We don't have enough people to take on the Clemens family. If we fought, we'd lose. Plus, he's the kids' dad. They're safe with him, and I can't just take them back by force."

Sadie nodded, her mind elsewhere. "I get it, it's not your fault."

Sadie walked away, dazed and lost in thought. Jesse quickly caught up, slipping off his coat and draping it over her shoulders. He suggested, "You should talk to Micah or the kids and see if you can work something out. He won't hurt the kids. Don't stress too much. Instead, figure out what happened with the Louis family last night. I'll go pick up Mr. James's three kids from the ranch. Be back soon." With that, Jesse hurried off.
