Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1257 Micro Surveillance Camera

That night, Sadie crashed hard. When she woke up the next morning, her head felt like it was stuffed with lead. She rolled over and saw Joe was MIA. She blinked, then shot up and scanned the room. "Joe, Joe," she called out.

"In here," Joe's voice came from the bathroom. Sadie turned and saw him stepping out of the shower, wrapped in a towel, drying his hair.

Overnight, he looked way better-no fever, cheeks rosy, and a big ol' grin. "Morning, Sadie!" he said, all sweet.

"Put some clothes on," Sadie frowned and turned away.

Instead of getting dressed, Joe hugged her from behind, his breath hot on her ear. "I know you still love me," he whispered.

"What are you doing?" Sadie snapped, shoving him away and stepping back.

Joe blinked, confused. "Why are you acting like this? Last night, you were all over me, practically climbing into my bed. Now you're turning cold again," he said, frowning.

"Last night?" Sadie echoed, glancing at the messy bed. "Where's Barbara?"

"What? Why are you asking about her?" Joe asked, annoyed.

"Nothing," Sadie changed the subject. "Tell her to come in and clean up."

"You're right," Joe said with an awkward smile. "It does need cleaning, and the sheets need changing."

Sadie kept her tone casual, but her mind was racing. "When you woke up this morning, didn't you see her? I told her to stay and keep watch."

Joe looked awkward. "Was she here last night? No wonder she looked so flushed when I saw her this morning. Did she see us last night...?" He shifted uncomfortably. "I'm sorry, Sadie. I was feverish and confused last night. Don't be mad; she won't say anything."

"Did you see her this morning?" Sadie pressed on, not caring about Joe's rambling; she was focused on Barbara.

"Yeah," Joe nodded, pointing to the desk. "When I woke up, she was dozing off there. When she saw I was awake, she came over to help, and I told her to leave."

"Right," Sadie replied, distracted. "I'm headed back to my room to freshen up. You should rest some more."

With that, Sadie grabbed her bag and turned to leave.

"Sadie," Joe hurriedly chased after her and grabbed her hand. He cooed, "Since you still care about me, can we stop fighting? We're getting married tomorrow; let's prepare well today."

Sadie paused, looking at him with a complicated expression. "Joe, do you care a lot about... that kind of thing?" she asked subtly.

"What? What kind of thing?" Joe was taken aback and asked excitedly, "Do you mean to say that even if we had sex, it doesn't matter?" "No," Sadie lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "We're both adults. Even if we did have sex, it's no big deal, right?" "What are you talking about?" Joe got anxious. "You can't treat me like this..."

Sadie hesitated, then continued, "If you found out..." She stopped, shaking her head. "Forget it. We'll talk later. I need to freshen up in the guest room."

With that, Sadie pulled her hand away, casually flicked the wall light switch, and quickly left.

Joe watched her go, feeling down. He couldn't understand why Sadie was acting like this, like she was two different people during the day and night.

Sadie entered the guest room, her mind racing. She pulled out her phone and called Annika and Arya, her voice steady. "Micro surveillance camera number 2, pull up the video." "Huh?" Annika was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded, "Yes, right away."
