Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 299 Anger That Kills Won't Compensate

"Don't let the anger ruin your health," Micah said with grave sincerity. "At your age, you should take it easy. The children and grandchildren will replace their own way..." "You little punk, I'll throttle you-" Micah's grandfather bellowed, followed by a series of loud thuds.

Sadie's eyes widened in shock. Her hand flew to cover her mouth, stifling any sound, as her heart clenched in fear.

Had Micah really been hit? Could he be...

"Look at you, hitting someone like it doesn't even hurt. You're getting old," Micah's voice teased, laced with amusement.

"You little... You..." Micah's grandfather was fuming, soon gasping for air.

"Grandpa!" Micah rushed to console him, "Are you okay? Where's your medicine?"

"Someone, help!"

Hasty footsteps approached swiftly from the next room.

Sadie paced the room nervously, tugging at her heart. She hoped Micah's grandfather was fine; any trouble with him would spell more for her.

"Grandpa, what's happening? Don't scare me!" Amelia's anxious voice echoed from the other room. "You were just fine!"

"Quiet!" Micah commanded sharply.

Soon after, the room next door went silent, then Micah spoke. "Everyone leave."

"Yes." The group retreated.

"Grandpa, let me walk you back to your room," Amelia offered sweetly.

"I'll do it." Micah moved to assist.

"Get away from me!" the old man snapped. "You're just trying to be the death of me, aren't you?" "No way," Micah murmured.

"Hmph!" grumbled Micah's grandfather, casting a furious glance at Micah as Amelia helped him away. Finally, it was quiet outside, and the hallway and the main room began to dim as lights were turned off.

Sadie breathed a sigh of relief, laying carefully on her bed, her emotions tangled and unspoken.

Was Micah refusing to join families with the Luminexes because of her? Or was it as he said, that such a union wouldn't benefit the Clemens family much, and so he wasn't interested? As she pondered, the door opened, and Sadie nearly jumped out of bed in fright.

"It's me," Micah announced.

In the darkness, Sadie recognized his familiar outline. He locked the door behind him, then began to unbutton his shirt while walking towards her.

"How dare you come here?" Sadie's voice was a low whisper, fearful of being overheard. "Aren't you afraid of being found out?"

Micah ignored her question, tossed his shirt onto the couch, closed the balcony's sliding doors, drew the curtains, and headed straight for the bathroom. "Hey, you..."

Before Sadie could say more, the bathroom door closed behind him.

She was at a loss for words and equally perturbed, imagining the absolute fury of Micah's grandfather and Amelia if they ever found out Micah was with her. They would surely rip her to shreds!

Micah emerged from the bathroom shortly after with a towel wrapped around his waist. He seemed a bit drained from dealing with his grandfather earlier, so he sat down, cracked open a bottle of water, and guzzled it down. "Use their downtime to help me escape," Sadie whispered. "If they catch us in the morning..."

"And then what?" Micah asked, giving her a cool glance.

"It'll be super awkward... Your grandfather definitely doesn't like me. He might even insult me..."

"Don't worry about that," Micah said, continuing to dry his hair.

"But-"

Before Sadie could get another word out, a knock at the door interrupted them, followed by Amelia's gentle voice. "Micah, are you asleep?"

Sadie froze, realizing that voice was coming from next door. Amelia was knocking on Micah's door, but Micah was in her room!

In a panic, she motioned to Micah, signaling urgently for him to do something.

Micah rolled his eyes at her, tossed the towel aside, and got into bed, wrapping his arms around her to sleep.
