Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 237 An Open Secret

Leah was emotionally affected, squatting down to cover her face, tears falling silently to the ground.

"It's true," Felipe sighed with sorrow. " Poor little Mikey was taken in by the elderly Potters. It's been an age since I've seen him."

Kathleen's expression darkened, but she quickly composed herself and scoffed, "Do you think I'm some kind of fool? Who is Mr. Clemens? If he wanted to replace out, do

"I...

"Never mind. Whatever your reasons are for keeping it quiet, it's no concern of mine," Kathleen said icily. "Just let us leave safely, and we won't breathe a word."

"Auntie's such a smart woman..." Sadie expressed admiration. Kathleen's strength and cunning were truly remarkable.

She knew that even if they revealed the secret of the kids, Micah wouldn't buy their story.

Yet, with just one word from Sadie, this family of three could be trapped forever in this cold, dark cellar...

you

think you could hide it?"

"Don't worry. Now you're Micah's girl, who'd dare touch you?" Kathleen reassured Sadie, thinking she was hesitating. "All we want is a safe way out. That's it."

"You're giving me too much credit. I'm stuck here with you," Sadie said, resigned and slouched on the couch. "He's unpredictable, I can never be sure."

"He'll let you out, for sure," Kathleen said confidently. "You'll know what to do then, right?"

Sadie didn't respond to her but gazed at Leah, "You're not actually going to have someone snatch my kids, are you?"

"What?" Kathleen's eyes widened in shock. "Leah, you sent people to grab those three children?"

Leah's gaze flickered, and she lowered her head in silence.

"Have you lost your mind?" Kathleen hissed in agitation. "Those are Micah's kids. If he replaces out, we're as good as dead."

"Who knows for sure?" Leah glared at Sadie coldly. "If those three bastards were Micah's, don't you think she would've come running to claim them by now, instead of sneaking around and hiding the truth until today?" "I replace it odd too," Felipe asked, "Sadie, are the kids Micah's or not?"

Sadie ignored them, her fingers dancing over her cellphone with anxious urgency. She needed to call Mason to ensure the children's safety.

Her phone here was useless, devoid of any signal; attempts to reach the outside world in vain.

"This is a sealed off room. All signals are blocked, there's no network whatsoever," Kathleen said as she stormed up to Sadie and grabbed her. "You'd better tell me the truth - are they Micah's kids or not?" "What business is it of yours?" Sadie snapped, shoving her aside.

Kathleen was fuming, her teeth clenched in anger and her heart filled with urgency as she scolded Leah, "I told you not to be rash. Why do you always do foolish things behind my back?"

Kathleen's emotions were conflicted. Part of her hoped the children belonged to Micah, yet another part dreaded the truth.

If they were Micah's, their role in shielding Sadie would spare them his wrath;

But if Leah's people had truly taken the children and something went wrong, it would spell disaster for their entire family...

If the children weren't Micah's, he would feel played and mocked by her family's collective deceit, which would bring a different set of problems. However, if they weren't his and something unfortunate happened, at least Micah wouldn't seek lethal retribution...

Considering the potential misfortunes, Kathleen hoped they were not Micah's.

Inside the car, Andrew cautiously inquired, "Are we really going to keep Miss Roth locked up there?"

"If she won't talk, she stays," Micah declared, his expression icy with no sign of compromise.

"Maybe I should look into it?" Andrew suggested quietly. "You know, it probably isn't complicated - a quick search might tell us everything."
