Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 212 Taking the Fall

Sadie stood frozen, like a deer in headlights.

Not until a waiter stepped forward to close that booth's door did she snap out of it, blinking hard and wondering if she'd been mistaken... "Sadie!" Mason called out to her.

She hurriedly followed him into the booth, shut the door, and with a racing heart exclaimed, "I just saw..."

Before she could finish, her phone rang. It was Leah White calling.

Frowning, she answered, "Hello?"

"Where are you?" Leah demanded bluntly.

"I'm out having dinner. What's up?" Sadie replied with a frown.

"Give me the address now!" Leah insisted aggressively.

"What's wrong with you..." As Sadie was about to speak, the sound of a waiter's greeting drifted in, "Welcome to Lime Bistro!"

Hearing this, Leah erupted over the phone, "Oh, Sadie Roth! You said you needed two days to replace a man to marry, but here you are seducing my husband and arranging meetings with him? You shameless hussy, just you wait!" "Hello..." Sadie tried to explain, but Leah hung up on her.

Sadie was beyond words - how could she get so unlucky, getting blamed for something while out just for a meal?

She figured Leah must've installed a tracker on Ronan's phone, realized he was dining here, and since Ronan wasn't picking up her calls, she suspected him of having a date...

And naturally, Sadie Roth became the prime suspect.

That led Leah White to confront Sadie with an accusatory call.

And then, hearing the server's words, Sadie Roth found herself caught in another misunderstanding...

"What's up? Whose call was it?" Mason inquired.

"Leah White," Sadie Roth replied irritably. "She's like a rabid dog, started cussing without knowing the whole story."

"Why would she cuss you out?" Mason probed, puzzled.

"She thought I was here dining with Ronan Potter when, in fact..." Sadie almost let the truth slip, but then bit her tongue.

After all, Arianna was Mason's cousin, and if Mason discovered the truth, with his temperament, he would undoubtedly confront Ronan Potter and it would not end well...

In a place packed with patrons, any scuffle would instantly out the relationship to the public eye.

The resulting rumors could damage Ronan's career, and Arianna would never forgive Sadie...

Sadie was already besieged by adversaries; she couldn't afford to make an enemy out of Arianna.

Nor did she want to cause trouble for Ronan.

"So, what actually?" Mason pressed.

"It's nothing." Sadie Roth didn't want any further complications. "Let's get out of here, Mason. Find someplace quieter."

"I should've never listened to that seafood restaurant recommendation from Arianna. She was so insistent it was delicious," Mason grumbled as he gathered his phone and car keys, leading Sadie out. Reflecting on his words, something felt off to Sadie, prompting her to ask, "Did Arianna know you were bringing me here?"

"Of course," Mason chuckled. "I only dine out with you, no one else."

Her smile was stiff, doubts clouding her mind...

If Arianna had suggested this place to Mason for her, why bring Ronan Potter here too?

Was it to deliberately make her see them?

They were heading out of the restaurant, about to step into the elevator, when Sadie caught sight of two familiar figures locked in a fervent kiss inside... She stopped dead in her tracks...

Mason was about to look up when his phone rang. He stepped aside to answer, "Yeah, I'm out right now. Let's talk another day, after I handle some things. Okay." By the time he finished the call, the elevator had already descended to the ground floor...

Sadie rushed to the window and peered down. Sure enough, there was Ronan Potter, his arm around Arianna, getting into a car which then sped away.
