Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1234 The Ball

Sadie mulled it over for a sec, then said, "Arya, grab Jessica and the crew, and go replace the kids. But don't snatch 'em. Just tell 'em I wanna see 'em. I'll take Annika and have a chat with Micah. If he lets me see the kids, awesome. If not, I still gotta see 'em. When the time comes, respect what the kids want. If they wanna come with me, I'm taking 'em, even if it means throwing down with Micah!"

"Sounds like a plan," Annika nodded. "But, Ms. James, let's keep it chill and try to talk it out first. We gotta think about the kids."

"Totally," Arya said, realizing she'd been a bit too fired up earlier. "Let's try to negotiate first. If we can work something out, great. If not, then we can..." "Alright, let's roll with that," Sadie cut in, determined. "You're right. If Micah won't let me see the kids, I gotta take charge."

"So, should I head to the villa area to replace the kids now?" Arya double-checked.

"Go," Sadie said firmly. "Find 'em, but don't do anything crazy. Wait for my signal."

"Got it," Arya nodded and took off with the other two female bodyguards.

Now, it was just Annika and Sadie. Annika helped fix Sadie's hair and comforted her, "The ball's about to start. Let's head down early."

"Okay, I got it. You go get ready too," Sadie said.

"Alright," Annika replied.

After getting dressed, the two of them, masked up, headed to the banquet hall.

Pushing open the bronze doors, they walked into a scene straight out of a movie. The crystal chandeliers were blindingly bright. A bunch of fancy-dressed socialites floated in, all decked out in gowns and bling, clearly from money.

But they all came solo, no businessmen tagging along. Once inside, some girls were sneakily looking around, while others were trying hard to show off and grab attention.

In the lounge area, a dozen businessmen in sharp suits were chilling, holding wine glasses, their eyes scanning the girls, sharing low, cheeky laughs.

Sadie got it right away. This wasn't a business shindig; it was a setup for those high-rollers to pick out female companions.

"Ms. James, did we crash the wrong party?" Annika whispered.

"No," Sadie glanced at the businessmen and replied quietly. "Those are all Clarence and Micah's business buddies. It's one thing to mess around in private, but flaunting it like this is just gross!"

"I don't get it. These girls look like they're from good families. How can they let themselves be picked like this?" Annika was baffled.

"Small families wanna latch onto bigger ones," Sadie smirked. "People always wanna climb higher."

"Maybe Mr. Clemens isn't coming?" Annika guessed. "I don't think he's that kind of guy."

Just then, a girl nearby squealed, "Mr. Clemens is here!"

At that moment, the bronze doors swung open, and a tall, commanding figure walked in, with Clarence eagerly tagging along.

In the grand hall, Micah, rocking a black suit, still had that god-like vibe, grabbing everyone's attention!

Even though he was skinnier than before, his natural kingly aura was still there. His handsome face had a bit of a wild edge now. But his eyes were colder than ever.
