Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 216 Nowhere to Hide

Now, Sadie Roth felt as if she had been stripped bare and thrown into the public square, with nowhere to hide.

The whole world seemed to revel in her disgrace, pointing fingers, hurling insults, even cursing her parents...

Those who had known her were now ashamed to be associated with her, even deeming it a disgrace to have ever known her.

In this moment, Sadie Roth was being dragged through the mud, scorned and loathed by everyone.

She was a target, everyone eager to take a shot at her, as if they wished to tear her apart...

Trembling with her phone in hand, Sadie's heart pounded chaotically.

Her world was in disarray, panic-stricken, and utterly confused...

What to do?

What to do?

"Sadie, Sadie..." Alissa's voice was fraught with urgency over the phone.

"Hello!" Sadie's voice choked up, overwhelmed by desperation, "Alissa, I've been framed. What should I do? What am I supposed to do?"

"Sadie, I'm sorry... When I first saw that video with Mr. Potter, I thought you did that on purpose, trying to stage a coup. But now it's blown up, and it's doing you no favors.

If this keeps up, you'll be socially crucified. You better talk to Mr. Potter right away. Don't delay, or else those keyboard warriors are going to dox you, exposing more of your secrets and past. Then you'll be done for. Alright, I gotta get to work. You call Mr. Potter, let a man handle this kind of thing..."

With those words of advice, Alissa hung up.

Sadie, gripping her phone, felt a whirlwind of chaos in her mind. She knew she couldn't call Ronan Potter, nor could she call Micah Clemens, and reaching out to a male escort was pointless... Her only lifeline was... Mason!

As Sadie prepared to call Mason, she realized the number he'd used four years ago was long disconnected.

It struck her that it was Arianna's phone Mason had used to contact her yesterday - she didn't even have Mason's new number.

Unless she reached out to Arianna...

But would Arianna help her replace Mason?

Knowing full well that Arianna was the true mastermind behind this...

Regardless, she had to try.

Sadie dialed Arianna's number.

The phone rang and rang with no answer, and Sadie's heart sank. Right, why would Arianna pick up her call now?

Just as she was about to give up, the call suddenly connected.

Arianna's voice came through: "Sadie!"

"It's me..."

Hearing Arianna's voice, a flood of mixed emotions overwhelmed Sadie...

Her mind raced with images of last night's incidents, filled with countless doubts...

Sadie longed to confront Arianna, to ask if she had any "hand" in the news being leaked.

But Sadie Roth didn't dare to ask.

"Is something wrong?" Arianna's voice was calm, friendly, and polite.

Sadie Roth couldn't detect any hint of what was going on and marveled at Arianna's composure internally while simultaneously scolding herself for her naivety. She had once thought Arianna to be a simple-minded, genuinely kind-hearted girl...

In reality, Arianna was just better at hiding her true self than Leah White.

"I'm looking for Mason."

Sadie Roth tried to keep her voice steady and composed, not wanting to show any sign of disarray in front of Arianna.

"Mason's sick," Arianna said, her voice tinged with sorrow. "He wasn't feeling well when he came back last night. This morning, when Dad went to wake him up for breakfast, he found Mason with a high fever, passed out. They rushed him to the hospital, and Mom and Dad have been there with him since."

"How could this have happened?" Sadie was shocked. "He was fine when we parted last night..."

"I was about to ask you that," Arianna retorted." You know Mason's had a heart condition since he was young and he's allergic to certain foods. Did he eat something that didn't agree with him and made him sick?"
