"You saw it all." Olivia spread her hands, a mocking look on her face. She thought, 'Mr. Clemens doesn't even want to deal with you, so why are you acting like you're in charge here?'

Sadie was about to speak. "Micah..."

"Leave first," Micah cut her off.

"You..." Sadie was stunned. Did he really just tell her to leave?

Olivia's lips curled into a cold, mocking smile.

Sadie shot Micah an angry glare, then turned and left.

Watching her go, Olivia felt a sense of victory. But when she turned to face Micah, she put on a graceful, elegant, and humble demeanor, even managing a wry smile. "Ms. James might have some misunderstandings about me." "It doesn't matter," Micah said, looking at her. "Thanks for saving me."

Olivia looked at him tenderly and replied gently, "Don't be so formal with me, we're close. By the way, I told my dad to push the banquet back a week."

"Why?" Micah asked.

Olivia said thoughtfully, "You're sick now. If we hold it as planned, you won't be able to attend. A week's delay should be fine."

"Okay," Micah agreed, then asked, "Did you come to see me today just for this?"

"Mostly to check on you," Olivia's mood dipped a bit. "You're so seriously ill, I really want to stay and take care of you, but Ms. James... she doesn't seem very happy."

"Oh, really?" Micah's interest was piqued. "What did she... do to you?"

Olivia looked very aggrieved. She said softly, "Yesterday when she came back, she argued with Silas downstairs. I reminded her to keep it down, and she got very angry, then argued with me. I had to leave."

Micah frowned. "How could she... argue with Silas?"

"Yeah, I thought everyone respected Silas, but Ms. James's temper..." Olivia trailed off and then changed the subject. "Forget it, let's not talk about this. By the way, Duke Louis called me again today. I didn't answer, but he's still trying to contact me. I don't know what he wants to say."

"This matter... you'd better... not get involved," Micah said bluntly.

"Okay, I'll listen to you," Olivia nodded repeatedly, then added, "Luckily Ms. James is fine. Earlier, we heard Joe hired someone to follow Ms. James, and she disappeared for three days. I was really worried..."

"What exactly... are you trying to say?" Micah interrupted her.

Olivia was stunned, then quickly recovered, "Nothing, I was just thinking, Duke Louis keeps contacting me, could it be related to Joe?"

Micah looked at her deeply and said seriously, "I said, this matter... has nothing to do with you. You'd better... not interfere. Also, when I first... got to know you... I thought you were... honest, and I appreciated that. But now, the way you talk... is sarcastic, and I really don't... like it!"

Olivia's face changed, and she hurriedly explained, "Mr. Clemens, don't misunderstand, I just..."

At that moment, Andrew knocked on the door and came in with a document. Seeing Olivia there, he greeted, "Ms. Graham, you're here!"

"Yes," Olivia responded softly.

Andrew sensed the tension and prepared to leave. He asked, "Should I... leave?"

"You came... just in time," Micah said, turning to Andrew. "Yesterday, did Silas give... Sadie a hard time?"

Olivia was dumbfounded. She had thought that by telling Micah about Sadie arguing with Silas, Micah would think Sadie was disrespectful to Silas and be disappointed in her. Unexpectedly, he actually questioned if Silas had given Sadie a hard time?
