Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss! -
Chapter 1301 Bad Man
Micah watched Sadie walk away, his face getting darker by the second. He thought seeing her jealous and mad would show she still cared, but her calmness felt like a slap.
She didn't even blink when he protected Olivia. She stayed cool when he held Olivia, even chatted with her like it was no big deal. And when he tried to get under her skin, she just brushed it off. Micah wanted to rile her up, but now he was the one all riled up.
Anger flared in Micah's chest, and he wanted to tear Sadie apart, but he held back. He couldn't let on how mad he was, like he really wanted her to be jealous.
What was so special about Sadie anyway? He'd never cheated on her, not once. He'd always stayed true, waiting for her. But she ditched him for Joe.
He tried to move on, but her coldness cut deeper every time. It was clear now-she didn't care about him anymore. Maybe she stopped loving him a long time ago.
As she walked away, Sadie kept telling herself to stay calm, not to look back, not to let anger win. 'Micah wants to provoke me,' she thought, 'but I'll stay cool and composed.' "Jerk!" Annika cursed angrily. This was something Arya often said, and Annika used to scold her for it. Now, she was saying it herself.
"Who are you cursing?" Sadie asked, glancing at her.
"Of course... it's... it's Andrew." Annika stammered. She didn't dare curse Micah. He was still the father of Sadie's child, after all. So, she took it out on Andrew.
"What did Andrew do to deserve that?" Sadie smiled helplessly, "He was almost scared to death by your shout just now."
"Ms. James..." Annika looked at Sadie's forced smile and felt anxious, "What's wrong with you? You've been bullied this much, and you don't care?"
"Bullying? Who bullied me?" Sadie shot back.
"That Olivia is obviously doing it on purpose," Annika said indignantly. "First, she asked you to meet, then she brought Mr. Clemens and flaunted their closeness in front of you. It's a deliberate provocation, a power move!" "Whether she did it on purpose or not, even if she did, Micah had to be willing to play along," Sadie said calmly. "I don't think he's a fool. He wouldn't let himself be used. Maybe it's the other way around; he brought Olivia to show off in front of me, to provoke me."
"Huh?" Annika was stunned for a moment, "What you said makes sense. If Mr. Clemens is trying to provoke you, it means he cares and wants a reaction from you."
"Reaction? What reaction?" Sadie sneered, "Am I supposed to fight with him?"
"This..." Annika was at a loss for words.
"It doesn't matter who's using who to provoke me," Sadie sighed. "We're just trying to survive right now. Who has time for these romantic games?"
"True." Annika felt a bit heartbroken. She muttered, "With Mr. James missing, the James Group in chaos, and our only project getting squeezed out, now's not the time..." "Alright, let's go back," Sadie said nonchalantly.
Annika didn't say more. She grabbed the car keys and drove off with Sadie.
"After seeing Hubert tomorrow, return the car to the Clemens family," Sadie instructed. "After sending Hubert off, we need to cut ties with them completely." "Got it!" Annika replied.
