Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1223 Clues

Joe barged into Sadie's room, barely keeping his excitement in check. "Sadie, you called?" "Annika, Arya, scram," Sadie ordered.

"Yes, ma'am," they replied and left.

Joe, grinning like a kid in a candy store, moved in for a hug. "Sadie."

Sadie stepped back, frowning. "We need to talk," she said, all serious.

"Alright, alright," Joe nodded like a bobblehead and plopped down on the sofa.

Sadie started, "Last night, after our fight, you went to clean up in the bathroom. I was on the sofa, drinking water, dead tired. I dozed off without even realizing it."

She paused, staring him down. "So, how did we end up in bed? Spill it."

Joe was caught off guard. He thought his efforts today had won her over, that she needed him. This felt more like an interrogation.

"Why the silence?" Sadie pressed, frowning harder. "We've been friends forever. Even though you were a bit off last night 'cause you drank too much, I still believe you wouldn't take advantage of someone. That's why I'm asking." "You think I took advantage of you while you were out cold?" Joe echoed, shocked. "Sadie, is that what you think of me?"

"Are you dense?" Sadie groaned, rubbing her temples. "I don't want to argue. Just answer the question."

"I don't want to argue either," Joe shot back, angry. "Sadie, I know you don't love me, but we slept together. We should cherish each other. Why can't you accept that?"

"What reality?" Sadie snapped. "I don't remember last night. I only remember falling asleep on the sofa. There's no way we had sex. Something's off."

"Off?" Joe got more agitated. "Are you saying I took advantage of you?" he yelled.

"I hope not, which is why I'm asking," Sadie said, feeling hopeless.

"Sadie, I never thought you'd see me like this," Joe said, hurt, shaking his head. "Today, I saw how you looked at Micah. I know you still have feelings for him, but we slept together. Why can't you face that?" "Forget it. I don't want to talk to you anymore," Sadie snapped, feeling it was impossible to communicate with Joe. "Leave. I want to rest."

"I'm still talking to Dad and Mom about how we can get the kids from Micah. I'm doing everything for you. We're supposed to get married in a few days. I hope you can sort out your feelings," Joe said, his voice sad as he stormed out. Sadie was speechless. Joe's refusal to recount details and his agitation at her doubts made it impossible to communicate with him. Feeling helpless, she went to take a shower.

But then something caught her eye-a stain on the white carpet near the wardrobe. She moved closer to inspect it and saw a small red spot, similar to paint. She immediately called Annika to take the red substance for testing.

At the same time, she searched the room for more clues. Soon, she found a few strands of hair in the wardrobe. They looked like hers, but something felt off.

The royal servants were very meticulous. They cleaned Sadie's room every morning and would never leave hair on the clothes, let alone in the wardrobe.
