Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 298 Mr. Clemens’ Sacrifice

"She started it," Micah said haughtily.

"Who provoked whom first?" Micah's grandfather pressed. "Would your aunt have gone after your company if you hadn't stirred up trouble first?"

"It was Edge who provoked me," Micah retorted coldly.

"Over a woman?" Micah's grandfather was enraged. "Edge is your cousin, and you almost choked him to death for her!"

"He's not dead, is he?" Micah was disdainful.

"Insolent!" Micah's grandfather slammed his cane on the floor, producing a resonant thud.

Startled, Sadie trembled so violently that her heart felt like it would burst out of her chest.

As she listened to the conversation, she finally grasped that Edge was Micah's cousin. That tragic night, when she was nearly violated after being drugged, it was Micah who had come to her rescue and beaten Edge up. And it was that incident that had drawn his aunt's wrath.

So, at the VIC Group's new product launch, the assailant... Was it really Micah's aunt?

With a shock, Sadie realized that she had inadvertently sparked a feud within the Clemens family. Micah's grandfather surely must hold no love for her and probably even see her as a thorn in his side. "He's not that tough," Micah mumbled under his breath.

"Let's put an end to this matter," Micah's grandfather ordered coldly. "I had a word with your aunt. She'll back off from your company, and you're not to provoke her again."

"As long as she leaves me alone, I won't touch her," Micah replied indifferently. "Let's stay in our lanes."

"The woman, she's here, isn't she?" asked Micah's grandfather in a haunting tone.

Sadie nearly collapsed with fear; the old man was too sharp-he had figured she was in the adjacent room all along.

"Uh-huh," Micah admitted, to her surprise.

"You've gone that far?" Micah's grandfather sneered, a sarcastic edge in his laugh. "What's next? Planning to marry the girl?"

This time, Micah fell silent, his reply not coming as quickly.

Sadie's heart clenched. She held her chest, holding her breath, and waited with trepidation for his response.

After what felt like an eternity, Micah finally spoke. "No, that's not my plan."

Sadie felt a chill as if doused with ice water. But she quickly regained her composure, realizing she knew it all along-he'd never been serious about her; she was just a toy in the palm of his hand. How could he ever be?

"That's more like it," Micah's grandfather's tone softened slightly. "That kind of woman is just for fun. Don't take it to heart!"

Sadie was speechless. 'What kind of family raises such a person? To the old man, women of lower status are just for casual flings? No wonder Micah is so twisted...'

"Amelia is the better match for you," Micah's grandfather added. "The Luminex family and our Clemens family have had a good relationship for generations. Amelia's your distant cousin Richard's only daughter. Marrying her would unite the families, making us stronger together!"

Sadie snorted inwardly. 'Yeah, let them marry. Two insufferable people together are indeed a perfect match!'

"It's the Luminex family who will gain 'wings' by this union, not us. I'm not lacking anything!" Micah said flatly. "You..." Micah's grandfather's face turned ashen with rage.

"The Luminex family far beneath out family. A marriage would be a huge boon for them, but what good does it do for me?" Micah's arrogance was on full display. "If we're talking about elevating our status, I should marry one of the North girls. Now there's a family that can match the Clemens stride for stride."

"Nonsense!" Micah's grandfather snapped. "The Norths have been our rivals for generations. How could we even consider a marriage alliance?"

"Exactly. So let's drop the idea of an alliance." Micah steered the conversation back on track. "The Clemens family didn't work hard for generations so I could trade on my looks."

"You ungrateful brat..." Micah's grandfather was seething, clutching his chest and coughing uncontrollably.
