Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 167 Like a Fool

Sadie pursed her lips into a smile, looking naively foolish, yet her thoughts were in turmoil.

She knew that going to the 68th floor wouldn't be of any help; she might even cause more trouble, so she had no choice but to obediently stay put...

Still, the thought of Micah in danger filled her with an inexplicable worry.

"Mr. Wood, the press conference will start in one minute," Chloe reminded respectfully, "This way, please!"

Mr. Wood adjusted his suit and tie and strode forward, leading the entourage into the conference hall.

As the dark red doors opened they were greeted by the sound of thunderous applause.

Following behind, Sadie saw thousands of media representatives from all around the world, as well as major partner organizations, all there to witness the unveiling of VIC Group's new technology. Countless flashbulbs illuminated Mr. Wood, and even Sadie beside him was bathed in light.

The 360-degree panoramic screens were playing highlights of VIC Group's countless achievements over the years.

VIC Group's technological products had made their way into the homes of millions, providing all kinds of convenience for households and becoming an indispensable part of people's daily lives around the world.

As she stood there watching the presentation on the screens... Sadie only now truly realized the extent of Micah's abilities and his stature, her heart filled with awe. It seems she had known too little about him before...

"Ladies and gentlemen, you may address me as Mr. Wood. I am passionate about scientific research, and today, on behalf of Chairman Micah Clemens; I am presenting the new generation of VIC Group's technological products..." Mr. Wood's voice echoed, vibrant and powerful.

A buzz instantly spread through the audience, with people whispering amongst themselves, "So, this is VIC Group's Mr. Wood, the world-renowned research expert from years past!"

"No wonder VIC Group has been so successful in recent years; they've had such talent hidden within."

"Who exactly is Micah, to have someone like Mr. Wood serving him?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, before we launch our product, I'd like to take a moment to give you a brief introduction to Mr. Micah Clemens," Mr. Wood stood on the stage and pointed to the screen behind him, "Micah Clemens, at the age of ten, developed nineteen technological products, obtained global patents, and led their development and sales within our group. Well-known products such as the robotic pets and nanny robots are his creations. At sixteen, Mr. Clemens officially founded VIC Group and guided us in building a technological empire, becoming a legend in both the business and scientific communities in just a decade..."

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

Journalists excitedly remarked, "With such a king at the helm and such powerful support, how could VIC Group not soar to great heights!"

Hearing these introductions and witnessing it all, Sadie started to see Micah in a new light; she hadn't realized his incredible talent and was completely unaware. Simultaneously, she felt insignificant, like a stone in the vast sea, only able to gaze at the stars from afar.

As she pondered over her thoughts, she suddenly noticed that all the gold-medal bodyguards had returned, securing the conference hall and apprehending a few suspicious individuals. They've all returned, but what about Micah?

Feeling uneasy, Sadie turned and dashed out, planning to head up via the elevator. Finding it occupied, she ran up the stairs instead...

As she appeared from the stairwell, a knife flew past her head.

Luckily, Sadie dodged swiftly, or else she would have met her maker.

Breathless and shocked, before she could gather her wits, someone grabbed her from behind, knife pressed to her throat, and roared, "Don't come any closer, or I'll kill her!"

It was only then that Sadie snapped back to reality, fixing her gaze ahead.

Micah, in a white shirt with sleeves rolled up, was fighting furiously, his eyes bloodshot with effort.

Andrew was beside him, subduing another assailant. The president's office was a wreck, but they were clearly dominating the fight...

Unfortunately, she, like a fool, had burst into the scene at the worst possible moment.
