Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss! -
Chapter 1369 Direct Negotiation
"I'm heading out of town for a couple of days to handle some stuff," Sadie said, dodging the details. "My flight's at 2 PM today, and I'll be back tomorrow night."
"If you need anything done, I can send someone to take care of it," Micah said, gripping her hand tightly. "Please, don't go."
"I'm going to pay my respects to Hubert," Sadie confessed. "This is something I have to do myself."
"Alright," Micah said, reluctantly letting go.
"I'll be back soon," Sadie reminded him gently. "Take care of yourself."
"Okay," Micah nodded slightly.
"I need to head back and get the kids settled," Sadie said, glancing at her watch. It was already 8 AM, and time was ticking. She squeezed Micah's hand. "I'll see you tomorrow night." "Alright," Micah said, understanding but still hesitant. "Take a few people with you. My guys will protect the kids, so don't worry."
"Got it," Sadie said, giving him one last look before turning to leave.
"Mr. Clemens, I'm leaving now." Annika bowed to Micah and hurried to catch up with Sadie.
Micah watched them go, his expression growing serious.
"The wound's treated," Dahlia said, finishing Micah's bandage and turning to Andrew. "I'll go arrange for his discharge." "Okay," Andrew nodded. "Go ahead."
Dahlia left with her team. As the door closed, Andrew poured water for Micah.
Micah suddenly instructed, "Call Paula and Percy and tell them not to mention my condition to Sadie, no matter what she asks." Andrew was momentarily stunned but quickly caught on. "You think Ms. James is going to pay her respects to Hubert because of this?"
"Probably," Micah said, his eyes downcast and serious. "Better safe than sorry."
"Got it, I understand," Andrew said, immediately making the call. After talking for over ten minutes, he returned to Micah. "It's all explained. You can rest easy." "They're trustworthy, but I'm worried they might slip up under Sadie's questioning," Micah said, looking exhausted. "Did you remind them properly?"
"I did," Andrew nodded. "I told them to urge Ms. James to come back as soon as she's done."
"Okay," Micah closed his eyes and started to drift off to sleep again.
Andrew tucked him in and stayed by his side, deeply worried about his frail condition.
"Sure enough, Paula's phone was busy just now," Annika said, looking at her phone in surprise. "Could it be that Andrew called Paula?"
"Paula and Percy have simple social circles. Besides us, they don't have many friends," Sadie said, frowning. "Even if they do, it wouldn't be such a coincidence that her phone was busy just as we left the hospital." "Could it be that Mr. Clemens really..." Annika said, uneasy.
Sadie remained silent, her expression serious.
At that moment, Arya drove up to pick them up. As they were about to get in the car, a silver Maybach approached. The window rolled down slowly, revealing a beautiful face. Olivia smiled. "Ms. James, can we talk? It won't take long." Sadie checked her watch and got into Olivia's car with Annika, while Arya followed in another car.
As they drove toward Frost Peak Mountain, Olivia asked directly, "Mr. Clemens has woken up, hasn't he?"
"Yes," Sadie replied calmly. "If you're worried, you can go see him yourself."
"I will see him, but before that, I want to talk to you," Olivia said straightforwardly. "We're on the way to your house, so it won't take up your time. Let's just chat as friends." "What do you want to say?" Sadie raised an eyebrow slightly. "Feel free to speak directly."
