Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss! -
Chapter 150 Finally Using Her Brain
Sadie couldn't help but admire Micah for his meticulous mind, strategic planning, and firm control over everything... She realized that she had never truly understood Micah before.
In her mind, he was nothing more than a cruel, unpredictable devil, but this time, she saw his strategic foresight! Truly impressive!
It took Sadie a moment to come back to her senses, and she said with a sigh of relief, "So much manpower, financial resources, and effort expended just to make the adversary lower their guard. It seems the chip's value is far greater than I imagined."
"You're finally using your brain," Micah said, a slight smile curled his lips.
"Then..." Sadie bit her lower lip and mustered the courage to ask, "My million-dollar reward is still okay, right?"
"Of course, there's no problem," Micah responded with a spread of his hands. "You recovered the chip so quickly; I should actually double your reward!"
"Two million dollars?" Sadie was ecstatic, "Thank you, Mr. Clemens, thank you so much!"
She swiftly produced a note with the bank card information she had written earlier, smoothed it out, and handed it to Andrew, "Please transfer the funds to this card, thank you for your trouble!" Andrew carefully took the note and cast a cautious glance at Micah.
"Two million dollars, not a cent less, however..." Micah pushed a tablet toward her, "First explain this to me..."
"What?" Sadie picked up the tablet and instantly felt a chill down her spine...
The tablet's screen displayed a news story that was the hot topic of the day: Leah from the Potter family attended the 9th prestigious society gala, garnering all the attention with a long-lost ruby necklace that had once belonged to French royalty!
In the photo, Leah radiated triumph, her smile beaming as the ruby necklace glinted brilliantly against her chest...
Sadie hurriedly closed the link, but countless other news articles covering the same story unfolded before her.
Leah had become the center of attention with her same ruby necklace!
"This, this..." Sadie stammered, head bowed, at a loss for words.
She dared not meet Micah's gaze, feeling as if she were prey under the watch of a beast, his stare filled with a murderous intent.
"Mr. Clemens, I'll take my leave now." Andrew tactfully exited.
Panicked, Sadie opened her mouth to say something but was clueless about how to begin.
How could she explain?
That her child had lost Leah's ancestral bracelet, that the mother and daughter of the White family were demanding compensation for which she had no money. They threatened to call the police and go to the media, so, out of desperation, she had used the ruby necklace as collateral...
But voicing this out would expose her well-kept secret of her children.
Micah would accuse her of deception; then, there would be no hope of leaving this office alive...
"You have one minute." Micah lounged in his leather chair, lighting a cigar leisurely.
"I..." Sadie didn't know how to explain and weakly protested, "You tossed the necklace out of the car that day. Perhaps someone else picked it up, or maybe..."
"Try lying to me again?" Micah raised an eyebrow, his aura seething with threat.
"I..." Sadie trembled in fear, no longer daring to speak recklessly.
"With your greedy nature, you would have gone back to pick up that necklace after getting out of the car..." Micah glanced at her coldly, "Now, why is that necklace in that woman's possession?" "I don't know..." Sadie's voice was faint as a mosquito's.
"Did you give it to her?" Micah interrogated.
Sadie was too frightened to speak, and even more so to look at him.
Impatient, Micah stood up and slowly began to close in on her...
"You, what are you going to do?" Sadie retreated anxiously, feeling that she was going to be torn apart...
