Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1230 Never Be Entirely Severed

Jesse went off to check out the clues and went radio silent for like two hours.

Sadie, totally wiped out, crashed on the bed and dozed off.

She slept straight through till morning, jolted awake by Dahlia making noise outside.

She shivered in her sleep, snapped her eyes open, and got this bad feeling. Glancing out the window, she saw it was pouring.

After Hubert's treatment and months of recovery, Sadie was physically fine. But you can't pop a pill for mental scars.

Every time it rained, Sadie thought of Brenda and that stormy day in Havenbrook City.

Even though Amelia and Nick were dead and she got her revenge, the whole thing left a mark on her. Rainy days always brought back those memories.

Plus, after that mess, Sadie got this weird thing about rain, like something bad was always gonna happen.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Annika's voice came through. "Ms. James, you up?"

"Come in," Sadie said, getting up and throwing on her robe.

Annika walked in with a steaming pot of fruit tea. "Have some hot tea. It's getting chilly out there," she said. "Any word from Jesse?" Sadie asked, plopping down on the sofa and taking the tea Annika handed her.

"Not yet," Annika shook her head. "Mr. Clemens is probably hard to track down; it's gonna take a bit."

"Alright," Sadie said, sipping her tea slowly.

"The three little girls are back asleep," Annika said with a smile. "They had a snack before bed and kept asking about you. I told them you were asleep and they'd see you when you woke up, so they went back to their rooms." "They're still so young, they should be carefree," Sadie smiled.

Thinking about the three little girls made Sadie smile, but thinking about her own kids made her mood heavy again.

Sadie sighed deeply, "Unlike Noah and Mia, who can already pick up on adult vibes, especially Noah. He should be awake now and probably knows there's drama between his dad and me. He's likely worried about me, too."

"I know you miss the kids, but think about it this way: they're safe with their dad. Once we replace Mr. Clemens, we can have a good talk with him," Annika tried to comfort her.

"Micah's temper is probably a nightmare to deal with," Sadie murmured, frowning. "And this time, he seems genuinely pissed. He blocked my number and won't let the kids contact me."

"You two broke up ages ago; what right does he have to be mad?" Annika said, clearly annoyed. "Besides, he was the one who wronged you first, kicking you out at the wedding and putting you through hell. Later, he even trusted the Lingston sisters and protected Nick. With all that, you haven't even settled the score with him yet. What right does he have to blame you?"

Sadie gave a bitter smile. "Sometimes, in a relationship, it's hard to tell who's right or wrong. From his perspective, he feels wronged, too. It was Mr. Clemens who forced me away back then, and it was Mr. Clemens who later mistakenly trusted Ella."

Sadie continued, "Of course, he did hurt me for Mr. Clemens, whether he meant to or not. He ultimately caused me pain and led to Brenda's wrongful death. Even if he wasn't directly responsible, he was involved. By normal logic, I should have killed him to get my revenge."

She mumbled, "But for the kids' sake, I let go of the hate, left Newark, and started fresh. I even agreed to marry Joe to get away from him. I thought that would end things between us. But now, it seems like as long as the kids are around, our relationship can never be completely over."
