Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1356 Reunion with an Old Friend

Sadie couldn't help but feel bad for Billy. "He's the same age as Mia, but he's already seen the worst of humanity. That's gotta mess with his head."

Annika nodded, looking serious. "Yeah, I heard he stabbed Arianna with a little knife at the wedding? He was, like, four years old then, right?"

"Yeah," Sadie sighed. "A four-year-old shouldn't have that kind of hate, but..."

"You can still replace stuff about it online," Annika said quietly. "There are even some photos and videos."

"After the Potter Family went downhill, they couldn't afford to pay people to clean up the internet," Sadie said with a bitter smile. "Go handle it and delete all the records about Billy. If he sees it when he's older, it could really mess him up." "Okay." Annika went off to take care of it.

As they talked, their car pulled up to Serenity Suites, a new five-star hotel by the coast of The Sapphire Depths. From the windows, you could see the ocean stretching out forever. "Isn't Velvet Spoon Bistro around here?" Annika remembered. "Arya said Micah was hosting Olivia there tonight."

Sadie's face darkened. "What does that have to do with us?" she snapped. "Mind your own business."

"Yes," Annika quickly looked down, not saying another word.

Just then, a familiar voice called out, "Sadie?"

Sadie looked up and saw Masson standing nearby, his eyes bright with excitement. "Masson!" She was thrilled, walking quickly towards him. "Long time no see, you've changed!"

The Masson she remembered, with his artsy vibe, sad eyes, and long hair, was gone. Now he had short hair, wore a suit, and looked confident and handsome. His once sad eyes were now steady. "Two years ago, when Arianna had her accident, the company got taken over, and my dad got sick from the stress. So, I had to step up and take care of the family," he explained, getting emotional.

Seeing Sadie, Masson felt a mix of nostalgia and relief. He sighed, "Back then, my family cut me off from the outside world and made me study hard. Because of that, I missed your wedding with Micah and didn't know about your accident. I'm sorry."

"Don't say that." Sadie felt a pang of guilt. "You've always helped me, but I never did anything for you. I should have faced my problems head-on."

Masson looked at her closely. "I heard about the James Group's impressive second-largest shareholder, a remarkable girl, but I never thought it was you. I've been doing business in Thaloria for the past two years and didn't keep up with the business scene here, so I missed your news. This time, when I came back to Newark, I heard a friend mention you. They weren't sure if it was you, so I tried every way to replace your number and contact you, and then..."

Overcome with emotion, Masson hugged Sadie tightly. "Sadie, I'm so happy to see you again."

"Me too," Sadie said, feeling a wave of nostalgia and warmth. Despite all the hardships, Masson's genuine affection made her feel like no time had passed at all.

"The wind is strong out here. Let's go inside and talk," Masson suggested, putting his arm around her shoulder and guiding her into the hotel. "Sadie, how did you become the second-largest shareholder of the James Group?" With a bitter smile, Sadie replied, "I'm no longer the second-largest shareholder of the James Group, but I am now part of the James Family."

Masson looked worried. "What happened? How have you been these past two years? Weren't you married to Micah back then?"

"It's a long story," Sadie said, and as they settled into a private corner of the hotel lounge, she began to tell him everything.
