Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss! -
Chapter 1397 Captured Those People
Sadie handed the phone back to Oliver and then took Jessica and Aurora into the ward to look after Annika.
She had a million questions swirling in her head, but grilling Ethan and Oliver wouldn't get her anywhere. They were just as clueless as she was.
Right now, Annika was the priority, lying in the emergency room, her life hanging by a thread. Sadie's heart ached, and she wasn't in the mood to argue with Olivia over the phone. She decided to focus on the immediate crisis; everything else could wait until they got back to Newark,
The night dragged on without a wink of sleep.
By morning, Andrew returned, looking exhausted but determined. He had sorted everything out with the doctors, and now they could safely transport Annika back.
To ensure her safety, Andrew hired a doctor and several medical staff to accompany them on the journey.
At 9:30 AM, the group boarded a private jet bound for Newark. On the plane, Andrew and Sadie stayed close to Annika, who was resting under a pile of warm blankets. "Thank goodness she's okay," Sadie murmured, gently wiping Annika's cheeks with a warm towel.
"Ms. James, there are a few things I need to discuss with you," Andrew said softly.
"Go ahead," Sadie responded, meeting his gaze.
Andrew took a moment to gather his thoughts, then spoke firmly. "First, Joe and his men have been captured by my team. I've arranged for them to be transported back to Newark to face Mr. Clemens." Sadie was taken aback. When the incident happened yesterday, everything was so chaotic, and Annika was injured, so she hadn't thought much about it.
She assumed Andrew had been busy all night cooperating with the police investigation. She hadn't expected that he had managed to capture Joe and those assassins. No wonder he was Micah's most capable assistant.
"I'm telling you this because it's something you should know," Andrew continued, his voice steady. "They dared to hold you and Annika hostage and even harmed Annika. On a personal level, as a man, I can't let this go unavenged! Professionally, Mr. Clemens ordered me to rescue you, so I captured everyone involved to prevent future incidents. But Joe was once your fiancé, and out of respect for you, I felt it was necessary to inform you."
"Andrew, hearing you say this, I feel a sense of relief" Sadie replied, appreciating his thoroughness and integrity. "You are responsible and caring, and I trust you with Annika's future safety. But there's something I need to clarify. Joe was indeed my fiancé, but we never had a real relationship. After everything that happened, we have already separated."
"Wait a minute," Andrew interrupted her, asking in shock, "Are you saying you never had a real relationship? Then, that time at Grapetown Heights Vineyard, you two..."
"That was a misunderstanding," Sadie interrupted, her voice tinged with regret. "There are some unsavory details I won't go into now. Essentially, from beginning to end, nothing actually happened between us. I was hesitant to act against him because I felt partially responsible for his downfall. If I hadn't agreed to his proposal, maybe he wouldn't have turned out this way."
She continued, "But my guilt doesn't excuse his actions. Hence, I have no objection to you capturing him and those assassins. However, the true mastermind is Duke Louis, not Joe. Capturing Joe is merely an inconvenience and might escalate matters. When we reach Newark, I suggest you hand Joe over to me. I'll handle him and negotiate directly with Duke Louis."
