Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1400 The Clemens Family's Hope

"Leave replaceing Virgil to me," Sadie said, glancing at her watch. "Once we get back, I'll call Jesse and Terry."

"That's awesome, thanks, Ms. James!" Andrew couldn't hide his relief. "With you stepping in, Mr. Clemens will be saved..."

"Hold on," Sadie interrupted, her brow furrowing. "You said Micah's condition was stable when you left?"

Andrew nodded. "Yeah, he was really worried about you and wanted to come replace you. I had to practically beg him to stay put..."

"That's not the point," Sadie cut him off, looking anxious. "Was his condition really stable?"

"It was pretty stable. Dr. Perez said as long as he didn't move around too much, he'd be fine in about a month," Andrew said seriously.

"But..." Sadie looked more worried. "Last night, when I called Micah, Olivia answered."

"What?" Andrew was stunned. "No way! When I left, Ms. Graham had already gone. Could she have come back? But don't worry, Mr. Clemens is sick now; nothing could have happened between them." "That's not what I'm worried about," Sadie said gravely. "I'm worried his condition has relapsed."

Andrew's face fell. "That... could be it. When I got to the villa, he asked me to turn on the video, and I did. Later, it captured you and Joe..."

He trailed off, looking ashamed. "It's all my fault. I should never have turned on the video. How could I have been so stupid?"

"It's not your fault," Sadie said, though her tone was cold. "I think someone said something to him."

"You mean Ms. Graham?" Andrew asked quietly. "I didn't think she'd she seems pretty straightforward."

"Exactly. Straightforward enough to tell the truth, not lies," Sadie replied with a bitter smile. "That's why Micah trusts her, and why I can't easily deal with her." Andrew hesitated. "Well..."

"But now isn't the time for this. Finding Virgil is more urgent." Sadie cut through her unease. "After we get off the plane, you settle Annika. I'll head back to Half Mountain Villa."

"Okay," Andrew agreed quickly, then asked worriedly, "What about Mr. Clemens... can you..."

"Don't worry." Sadie smiled faintly. "I know what to do."

"That's good," Andrew sighed, finally relaxing.

Half an hour later, the private jet touched down at Newark Airport. Andrew had already arranged for doctors from Peace Hospital to meet them. They swiftly transported the unconscious Annika to the hospital, with Andrew and a few attendants in tow.

Meanwhile, Oliver and Ethan escorted Sadie back to Half Mountain Villa.

Right before parting, Andrew bowed deeply. "Ms. James, the Clemens Family's hope rests on you!"

"Don't worry," Sadie nodded. "Annika is in your hands now."

Andrew nodded earnestly. "Okay."

On the way back to Half Mountain Villa, it was drizzling.

Sadie switched to a new phone, inserted her SIM card, and immediately contacted Jesse.

But Jesse didn't respond for a long time, so she contacted Terry, asking them to call back as soon as they got the message.

She knew they were in Country E, which might cause delays, but she trusted they'd reach out as soon as they could. She could only wait patiently.

Soon enough, the car drove into Half Mountain Villa's drive. Sadie stepped out, noting several new faces amongst the bodyguards. They weren't from the Clemens Family; they were from the Graham Family!
