Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1253 Let's Cancel the Wedding

Sadie scrunched up her face and said, "Nah, I'll handle it. Can you grab my clothes?"

"Sure thing," Barbara mumbled, looking down as she turned to leave.

Just then, Sadie noticed Barbara's toenails were painted red, but one of her big toes had a smudge. A lightbulb went off in her head, remembering the clue she found at Grapetown Heights Estates. Had Barbara snuck into her room that night? "Ms. James, your clothes," Barbara said softly, handing them over.

"Thanks," Sadie replied, shutting the door and hopping into the shower.

As the water ran, Sadie replayed that night in her mind, feeling more and more like something was fishy. She had to dig deeper.

But with the wedding just two days away and decisions needing to be made by tomorrow, she was on a tight deadline.

After her shower, she dried her hair and slipped into a long white dress. Even without makeup, she looked like an angel-pure, holy, and drop-dead gorgeous.

Barbara eyed Sadie with obvious jealousy. Sure, Barbara was a looker too, but she could never match Sadie's natural beauty.

"Mr. Louis, Ms. James is here," Callie whispered.

Joe slowly came to, squinting. When he saw Sadie, he was floored, but then his face twisted with anger. "Why? Why are you doing this to me? Why?"

"Mr. Louis!" Callie tried to calm him down. "Please, take it easy."

"Joe, have some water," Barbara said softly, offering him a glass.

Joe shoved her away, struggling to sit up. "I loved you so much. Why are you doing this to me? Why?"

Sadie just frowned, staying quiet.

She couldn't say she felt no guilt. Joe had gone from sweet and innocent to a mess, and she knew she played a part in that.

If she had known it would end like this, she would've never agreed to the marriage.

"Why, why?" Joe started bawling, tears streaming down his face.

Joe had always had it easy, never facing any real hardships. His strict upbringing made him simple-minded and deeply emotional. Sadie was the first girl he ever liked. He chased her for years and finally got her, only to see her with Micah two days later. It crushed him. "Joe, don't be sad," Barbara murmured, her eyes full of pain as she watched him. She wanted to comfort him but pulled her hand back. Sadie didn't miss this.

"Joe, I need to talk to you alone," Sadie finally said.

Joe cried for a bit longer, then pulled himself together. "Everyone, get out."

"Mr. Louis..." Callie hesitated.

"Leave!" Joe shouted.

Callie had no choice but to leave with Barbara, but they stayed close, just outside the door.

The room went quiet. Sadie took a deep breath and said, "Joe, let's call off the wedding."

Joe looked at her, stunned.

"I thought you came to explain, apologize, and make things right, but you're breaking up with me?" Joe asked, disbelief all over his face.

"I know it's hard to swallow," Sadie sighed. "I'm really sorry to do this now. I know you must hate me, but I just don't think we're right for each other."
