Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 273 A Rival's Insult

Just as Sadie was about to knock, the door swung open, and Andrew stepped out, bumping into her. Caught off guard, he stumbled, "Sadie..." He almost said something else, then abruptly changed it to, "Need something?"

"Victoria asked me to come and clean up."

Sadie's eyes glanced past Andrew's shoulder, peering inside.

Micah sat on the couch, his back turned to her. Nearby, Amelia leaned in with a radiant smile, whispering sweet nothings into his ear.

The unmistakable closeness and intimate gestures made Sadie's chest tighten, prompting her to avert her gaze and lower her head.

"I'll just come back later then if it's inconvenient," she said as she turned to leave.

"Wait a minute!" a pleasant feminine voice called out.

Andrew briefly shut his eyes, his frustration evident.

"Andrew, I accidentally spilled some wine. Could you let her in to clean it up for us?" Amelia's tone was polite but commanding as she made her request to Andrew.

Andrew looked at Sadie, unsure of what to do.

Sadie waited a couple of seconds for Micah to say anything, but silence ensued.

With no other choice, she gathered her cleaning supplies and walked in.

By that time, Amelia had moved aside, putting some distance between herself and Micah. Still, they sat side by side on the couch, close together. The wine had spilled onto the coffee table and carpet right in front of them.

Sadie approached, knelt down, and began to dab at the wine stains on the table with her cloth.

Amelia sized her up and half-jokingly commented to Micah, "The secretaries at your company seem to be getting more and more attractive."

Even without makeup and in plain clothes, Sadie possessed an undeniable charm that couldn't be ignored.

And this beauty was natural, innate there was an indescribable spirit about her!

"Yeah, she's alright," Micah remarked nonchalantly.

Sadie seethed inwardly. 'Alright? Really? Then why did you come chasing after me with such persistence?'

"But some manners seem to be lacking," Amelia added, her tone carrying a lightness that appeared careless but harbored a clear undertone of hostility.

For a brief moment, Sadie's movement paused, suppressing her anger. She chose silence and continued with her cleaning.

"There's more over here!" Amelia pointed with the tip of her stiletto at a stain on the floor, signaling Sadie to clean it.

Sadie stared at the stain, unmoving. Getting closer would mean practically kneeling before Amelia to clean it up.

"What's the matter?" Amelia sneered, her raised eyebrows conveying disdain. "Didn't see it, or you don't feel like cleaning?"

Sadie's hand tensed, and she clutched her cloth. Professionally, she couldn't retaliate, but personally, she couldn't tolerate the insult.

To exacerbate matters, Micah remained silent, displaying no intention of coming to her defense.

The sting of the moment weighed heavily on Sadie's heart.

"Let me do it!" Andrew chimed in eagerly.

"Oh, come on. Why would I bother someone like you with such a menial task?" Despite addressing Andrew, Amelia's gaze was fixed on Sadie, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "Too important to help out with this, huh? Or did you think I wouldn't ask?"

Sadie took a deep breath, fought back the rage swelling within her, and turned away, cloth in hand. But in a clumsy mishap, the soiled rag dropped onto Amelia's feet.

"Disgusting!" Amelia jumped up with a look of utter repulsion, her foot coming down hard on Sadie's hand.

"Ah!" A sharp cry escaped Sadie as the pain lanced through her.

The stiletto heels were sharp as nails and pierced the skin on the back of her hand instantly, drawing blood. Micah couldn't sit back any longer. Standing abruptly, he shoved Amelia aside and pulled Sadie to her feet. "Micah!" Amelia fell back onto the couch, staring at him in disbelief.

"You can't even clean properly? Useless!" Micah barked at Sadie. "Get out!"

Tears welled in Sadie's clear eyes as she looked up at him, a silent defiance in her gaze. She grabbed her belongings and stormed off.
