Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 223 The Dominating CEO in Romance Novels

"Thinking about how to lie to me?" Micah's hold tightened on Sadie's chin as he leaned in closer. "Or perhaps you think I'm easy to deceive?" "No... no," Sadie stammered as she shook her head frantically, "I never intended to deceive you, truly..."

It was time to fess up. Any further denial might end disastrously.

Even in the face of the White family's deviousness and shamelessness, she had managed to bend without breaking.

So why not with Micah?

Humbling herself before her savior wasn't beneath her.

"You have five minutes!" Micah was clearly out of patience, "Spill the beans. Now."

"First off, I'm not the girl in that scandal," Sadie blurted out nervously. "I swear on my life, there's absolutely no way I was doing... that... with Ronan."

Micah said nothing and just squinted at her with his icy gaze.

"Seriously, believe me," Sadie pleaded, grasping his hand, "Nothing inappropriate ever happened with Ronan. He's married, for heaven's sake, how could I...?" "So, if he wasn't married, something would've happened?" Micah raised an eyebrow. "Eh?"

"No, that's not what I meant..." Sadie's head wagged desperately, "I mean, I didn't with him..."

"You're all over the place. A solid hour wouldn't suffice for you to clarify," Micah cut her off. "Here's how this goes. I ask, you answer."

"Okay." Sadie nodded meekly.

"Did you see Ronan last night?" Micah's stare was piercing.

"Yes..." Sadie admitted, but quickly added, "I was there to dine, but with other friends. I just stumbled upon Ronan at the restaurant, he was with..."

She faltered, unsure whether to bring Arianna into this.

"With Arianna," Micah filled in for her.

"How did you know?" Sadie blurted out; her eyes wide in shock.

"The woman in the car... it was Arianna," Micah revealed the truth once more.

"How do you know that???"

Sadie's eyes were as round as saucers. Was he some kind of omniscient being?

"Do you think everyone's as clueless as you?" Micah swatted the back of her head playfully.

"I admit I'm not the sharpest, but could you please explain how you knew?" Sadie tugged at his sleeve; her curiosity piqued.

Micah had no interest in discussing such banal and tedious details but succumbing to Sadie's longing look, he indulged her. "For starters, I've seen your figure, and you're in much better shape than the woman in that video. Plus, with your awkward innocence, how could you pull off anything like being on top?"

Her cheeks aflame, Sadie was at a loss for words.

"First off," Micah paused, disdain lacing his voice, "any clear-headed individual's initial reaction to seeing breaking news would be to go straight to the source of those intimate photos and that scandalous car romp video and figure out which media outlet aired it first.

Start with that outlet, replace out how they got their hands on the material, and you can track down the identity of the lady in the spotlight..."

He paused and added with scorn, "Such a low-level task, even any of my bodyguards could handle it with ease."

"Oh..." Sadie nodded as if suddenly coming to an understanding, "But that's not how it goes in the romance novels with the domineering Mr. Clemens. In those stories, the bossy CEO gets mad right after seeing the news, then confronts the heroine, punishes her, and torments her..."

"Idiot!" Micah exclaimed, feeling exasperated, "Anyone who's making money and running corporations isn't a fool. Who would make such a rookie mistake? The brainless novels you read are written by people with no real-life experience or sense. You're not allowed to read that nonsense anymore!"
