Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 199 Fleeing with Two Million Dollars?

"Nothing, it's nothing..."

Sadie Roth felt a shiver run down her spine as her heart pounded like a fierce drum. She inwardly cursed Coco...

Why did it have to squawk at such a critical moment? Was it trying to make things worse?

Micah Clemens gave Sadie Roth a penetrating look, said nothing, and turned to leave...

It wasn't until the sound of his steps faded completely that Sadie Roth finally breathed a sigh of relief. Annoyed, she scolded Coco, "Don't talk nonsense!" "Mama..." Coco looked up with its little green head, wearing a crestfallen expression, "Bad man, scary!"

"I know he's a bad man, but now's not the time..."

Knock, knock! The sound came from the door, "Miss Roth, may I come in?"

"One moment." Sadie Roth ushered Coco into the bathroom before allowing Dahlia to enter.

"Miss Roth, Micah Clemens has left for England, and he asked me to look after you. Your breakfast is ready. Would you like to have it here, or..."

"He's gone to England?" Sadie Roth cut her off, her voice rising with excitement, "For how long?"

"If it's quick, maybe three days - could be longer, hard to say. He should be back as soon as he can."

"No rush, the longer the better."

Sadie Roth wished he would never come back.

"Hehe." Dahlia chuckled, "Those who attacked you last time have been taken care of, so there's no danger anymore. We've also arranged for someone to repair your house, and besides..."

"No need," Sadie Roth quickly interrupted, "I'll handle my house myself. Please don't interfere, and tell your people to stop any work immediately. Nobody should go there."

"Huh?" Dahlia was taken aback.

"What's this 'huh'? Hurry up!" Sadie Roth was frantic, dreading anyone replaceing out about her children.

"Alright, I'll handle it right away." Dahlia promptly called the contractors to cancel.

"They haven't gotten to my house yet, have they? You didn't investigate anything, did you?" Sadie Roth was anxious.

"No, they were on the way and turned back as soon as they got the message," Dahlia reassured her with a smile. "Don't worry, we won't pry into your matters without Micah Clemens's orders. However..." Dahlia paused, then carefully asked, "Is there something you're particularly worried about?"

"Everyone's got their secrets." Sadie Roth choked back tears, "This devil's had me on such a tight leash, I just want to keep a little space for myself..."

"Micah Clemens isn't trying to control you; he's smitten with you..."

"How could you even say that?" Sadie Roth flared up; her frustration had now boiled over. "If he really cared about me, he'd be showering me with mansions, spoiling me with luxury cars, and lavishing me with billions in the bank. He'd treat me like a princess, not bully me around all the time."

"Maybe he just has a different way of expressing it?" Dahlia suggested with a chuckle.

"His way sure is 'unique'," Sadie Roth replied, rolling her eyes. She quickly changed the subject, "Dr. Ray, I want to go home. Is that possible?"

"Of course, I'll arrange a ride for you right away."

...

On the way back, Dahlia spoke to Sadie Roth, "Miss Roth, you know, living in a gated estate is much safer. If you want to go to work, I can organize someone to drive you."

"I feel more comfortable staying at my own place."

Sadie Roth gently stroked Coco's feathers; the bird was fast asleep.

"Alright then," Dahlia conceded without pressing further. "While Mr. Clemens is away, you can reach out to me anytime if you need anything."

"Thanks," Sadie Roth murmured. Her mind was elsewhere, contemplating how to free herself from Micah Clemens. Maybe she could grab that two million and make a run for it with the kids...

"If you're ever in the market for a new place, I could help with that too. After all, VIC Group's real estate spans the globe. It has branches in every major city..."

Hearing this, Sadie Roth shelved the idea of escape. Dahlia's words seemed to imply there was nowhere she could run that they wouldn't replace her. Better to let it be...
