Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 188 You're a Dead Woman Walking

Returning to the Clemens' mansion as night closed in, the sky was veiled with a layer of black gauze, mysterious and chilling.

Stepping out of the car, Sadie Roth felt the weight of unanswered questions surging in her mind like unsolved puzzles waiting for her to piece them together... "Good evening, Miss Roth!"

The surrounding bodyguards and staff greeted her with reverence.

Sadie Roth felt almost dazed, as if she truly belonged to this luxurious dwelling...

She shook her head, dismissing the distracting thoughts, and inquired, "Where's Mr. Clemens?"

"Micah Clemens is by the pool, I'll take you to him," the maid answered with respect.

"Thank you," she acknowledged.

Following the maid past the bamboo groves and garden to the pool area, Sadie caught sight of the vast expanse of water glimmering under the blue lights.

The surface of the water shimmered as a lone figure swam with grace and agility, exuding an aura of the familiar mystery she knew so well.

Sadie quickly hastened her pace, determined to seize this chance to check Micah Clemens's lower back for that distinctive tattoo...

But as she approached, she realized the pool was large and Micah was swimming in the middle, his tattoos barely discernible from the distance, a mere blur of blue confirming the presence of ink on his skin. With her heart pounding, Sadie rushed to the other side of the pool.

She needed to get closer, to see more clearly...

As she approached, he playfully dodged to the other side of the pool, prompting her to chase after his elusive figure with hurried steps.

They danced this teasing game, circling the pool until Micah Clemens burst from the water, slicking his drenched face with a hand and giving her a mocking glare - as if she were the butt of some inside joke. "Are you doing this on purpose?" Sadie Roth, panting heavily, doubled over at the pool's edge.

A sly grin spread across Micah's lips before he dipped below the surface, leaving only the faint trace of his lower back tattoo teasingly visible under the shimmering light, ensnaring Sadie's attention.

Fuming, Sadie spun on her heel to leave but halted mid-step. No, she couldn't let this chance slip by-who knew when she'd get another? If she ventured into his room again, she might not realize she's been metaphorically devoured until it was too late. At least in the pool, surrounded by people, there was a limit to what he could do.

With renewed determination, she returned to the poolside where ivory loungers aligned and a table was set with red wine, ice cubes, and an array of snacks. Without hesitation, she hurled an ice cube at Micah.

It missed him, splashing harmlessly aside as he continued his underwater glide. Another cube followed, landing closer this time. Micah surfaced with a twist, giving her a glare sharp enough to cut.

Unfazed, Sadie grabbed a handful of ice and tossed it with all her might, striking him squarely on the back, buttocks, and head.

Provoked, Micah charged through the water like a torpedo toward her. Sadie stood on tiptoe at the pool's edge, craning to unveil the mystery ink on his skin.

He swiftly closed the gap, his tattoo almost within clear sight under the blue glow of the pool light- but just as the image began to crystallize, a hand clasped her ankle in a vise-like grip and yanked.

With a splash, Sadie plummeted into the water, flailing desperately and coughing up water, like someone who hadn't swum in years suddenly replaceing themselves in the deep end.

Micah floated nearby, watching coolly with a derisive smile. As she started to sink, he finally reached out, nonchalantly lifting her out of the water.

With a gasp, Sadie re-emerged, the water's turmoil subsided, yet the ripples from their encounter would linger long after the pool stilled.

Sadie Roth spluttered, ejecting a mouthful of pool water that doused Micah Clemens' face.

Fury contorted his features, and he clenched his teeth, "Sadie Roth, you are so dead!"

Gasping for air, Sadie finally came to her senses, quickly flipping over Micah to steal a peek at the small of his back...
