Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 236 I'm Not What I Seem

"No wonder I didn't have cab fare when I woke up," Sadie muttered.

"You didn't take any... liberties while she wasn't looking?"

Micah twirled his ultra-thin phone in his palm, his eyes fierce.

"No, really, I didn't," the man hurriedly explained. "I mean, I'm not even into women, how could I take advantage of her?"

"What do you mean?" Sadie's eyes widened in shock.

"I... I'm not the man I appear to be," he confessed shamefully, bowing his head. "I have no interest in women..."

Sadie was taken aback in disbelief.

The news had reported that she was with a male escort who wasn't conventionally masculine; it wasn't just a rumor. And no one knew it was Micah who had actually interrupted the scene...

"A revelation, indeed!" Micah's murderous aura waned slightly. Moments ago, he was ready to tear the man apart, but now he seemed almost congenial. "Let him go!"

"Yes," the bodyguard stepped forward, hauling the man up and escorting him out.

"Thank you, thank you..." the man repeated his thanks over and over.

"Let us go, too," Kathleen pleaded urgently.

"You think you can just leave without explaining?" Micah raised an eyebrow.

"There's nothing we need to explain."

Felipe was confused. If Micah was the man from four years ago, there were no secrets left. What else was there to explain?

"Could it be..."

Kathleen quickly realized that Micah was likely unaware of the situation with the three children. Clinging to such a powerful benefactor, Sadie should be claiming kinship. Why keep it a secret? Were the kids not his?

"I don't have the patience to wait," Micah glanced at his watch. "Three minutes. If you don't talk, you're all getting locked up!" While speaking, he focused his gaze on Sadie..

"What?" Sadie looked stunned, pointing to herself, "Me, locked up too?"

Micah didn't respond verbally, just nodded.

"You..."

"Almost forgot," Micah zeroed in on the cellphone in her grasp, Leah's phone. "The secret must be in there, right?"

He extended his hand, "Hand it over!"

"There's no secret..." Sadie backed away in a panic.

Micah frowned.

The bodyguard moved to retrieve the phone, but Andrew caught Alan's eye to stop him.

Now that Micah had publicly confirmed his identity, and Sadie was his woman, which bodyguard would dare touch her?

"Is anyone here even alive?" Micah barked, his anger palpable.

"Yes!" Andrew finally approached sheepishly and said in a soft tone, "Miss Roth, please give me the phone."

Sadie kept backing away.

Andrew, not daring to snatch it forcefully, could only coax her. "Come on, hand it over."

Sadie backed up to a barrel and nearly burnt herself.

"Careful!" Andrew instinctively reached out to grab her.

In panic, Sadie threw the phone into the blazing barrel.

Everyone was shocked.

"Perfect," Micah snorted with a cold laugh, stood up decisively, and left. "Lock them up together, let them ponder their actions!"

"Yes." Andrew cast a sympathetic glance at Sadie and followed with the bodyguards.

"Hey, don't lock us up in here. I'll tell, I'll tell everything..." Leah began to protest, wanting to leave, but Kathleen clamped a hand over her mouth.

Once everyone had left, Kathleen released her, and Leah shouted angrily, "Mom, what are you doing?"

"Yeah, why didn't you let Leah speak?" Felipe asked, clearly puzzled.

Kathleen ignored the others, stepping up to Sadie and whispered, "Those three... three kids, they aren't Mr. Clemens', right?"

"Of course, they are his," Sadie snapped back.

"Then why hide it from him?" Kathleen demanded.

"The kids are my life, I raised them. I don't want them taken from me," Sadie defended herself with what seemed like a plausible reason. "He seems okay with me now, but who knows about love? If he gets tired of me one day, takes the kids away, I'll be left with nothing, completely alone."
