Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter172 Further Confirmation

"Really?" Sadie looked up. Her mind was racing. They had briefly crossed paths once, but now, upon closer inspection, it clicked. Her first day in Newark straight from the countryside had been eventful; the taxi she took had collided with a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and the man in the passenger seat... it was Rylan, wasn't it?

Gripped by sudden alarm, it dawned on her-if Rylan was in the passenger seat, then the injured man with the tattoo on his back, in the rear, had to be Micah! The tattoo had puzzled her at that time; why would a male escort be in such an extravagant vehicle? Later, when she met him at the nightclub, she had naively assumed the car belonged to some wealthy woman taking care of him...

The realization hit her-she had been so naive. Micah was the escort all along, and despite the resemblance between the two scenarios, he had completely manipulated her. But why would he do that? And wait-back when the accident happened, she had been with three children. Had Rylan seen them? If he did...

The more Sadie thought about it, the more anxious she became.

"Perhaps I'm mistaken, my apologies," Rylan offered before bowing slightly and departing.

Trying to steady her nerves, Sadie rushed out of Mr. Clemens' office toward the staff restroom, where she splashed water on her face and tried to sort through her thoughts. It was possible Rylan hadn't seen her clearly from that distance, and even if he had, the children were inside the car-there was a chance he hadn't noticed them at all.

Even though all the evidence pointed toward Micah being a male escort, without spotting his tattoo, Sadie couldn't be entirely certain. However, considering the emotions he'd begun to harbor for her, confirming it shouldn't be too difficult. Her priority now was to keep the children's identities a secret, verify whether Micah was indeed the male escort, and plan her next move. Moreover, she had to deal with that debt settlement contract.

With these thoughts in mind, Sadie took a deep breath to compose herself before heading out to work.

The press conference went off without a hitch, with journalists gradually filing out. Soon after, media outlets buzzed with reports on VIC Group's latest tech innovation, and the marketing department had cracked open the market. Sales were set to launch in just three days!

The police arrived for negotiations, assisting VIC Group by apprehending suspicious characters and identifying the attackers.

All assailants, having been injured and rendered unconscious, were taken away by the authorities.

Mr. Clemens' office was in shambles, and the staff returning to the 68th floor were shocked into silence.

Victoria announced the news: For their excellent performance, they would be awarded a bonus, and everyone was granted half a day off that afternoon to make room for repairs and cleanup.

The staff in Mr. Clemens' office all erupted into joyous celebration, practically delirious with happiness.

Finally, Victoria took Sadie aside and said, "I've spoken with Mr. Clemens. Starting next Monday, you're officially on the team. Make us proud!"

"Thank you, Victoria!" Sadie was over the moon-at this point, she felt utterly content with such a reward, especially since she hadn't done anything significant to earn it.

"Off you go, get some rest," Victoria patted her on the shoulder before turning to her own tasks.

Packing up her things, Sadie prepared to leave but suddenly noticed Micah rushing into the VIP elevator with Rylan and two bodyguards. She hurried to follow them.

"This is Mr. Clemens' private elevator. Please leave," one bodyguard growled.

Rylan gave a subtle cue, and the bodyguard promptly stepped back.

The elevator doors were closing when Micah raised an eyebrow at Sadie. "What's up?" he asked, his demeanor cool.

Sadie glanced at him shyly, bit her lower lip, and whispered, "I need to talk to you... about the necklace."

"Here's the thing," Sadie began, sparing the finer details, "I misplaced Leah's bracelet, and she demanded compensation. I couldn't afford it, so I had to use my necklace as collateral. We agreed I'd get it back once I found her bracelet..." "What's that got to do with me?" Micah interjected with clear impatience. "I'm after the ruby necklace!"
