Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 328 Personal Escort

"Why would he do this?" Mason pressed with urgency. "You have to tell me everything. Only then can I approach Mr. Clemens."

"He must've thought the child was...," Sadie's voice trailed off as she looked at Mason, "yours."

"What?" Mason was stunned. It took a moment before he regained his composure. "No wonder he's been so hostile towards me, targeting me every time we met, as if he wanted me dead."

"I'm sorry, Mason." Sadie's guilt was palpable. "I dragged you into this mess."

"No, no, no, you did the right thing."

Mason, regaining his senses, analyzed the situation rationally, "Sure, these things can make anyone mad, but a mature and reasonable person wouldn't resort to violence out of jealousy, let alone kidnap a child. His actions reveal that he's inherently violent and paranoid. Being around him is dangerous; you were right to keep your distance."

"It wasn't my intention to use you as a shield..." Sadie hurried to explain, "He found out about the kid and kept pressing me for answers. Just then, you arrived at his place with Mr. Clark, which led to his misunderstanding. At that moment, silence was the only option."

"Afterwards, I tried to keep my distance to avoid dragging you into further trouble. Still, we kept running into misunderstandings, and you got hurt because of it. I'm sorry."

"That's not important," Mason dismissed it. "The worst he could do is throw a punch; he can't hurt me. But you've been in trouble ever since you met him. You should've cut ties and stayed away from him for good."

"I wanted to, but what should I do now?" Sadie was at her wit's end. "Could he hurt the child?"

"Don't panic. I'm going to see Mr. Clemens," Mason said, standing up. "You stay home and rest. I'll call you the moment I have any news."

"I'm coming with you," Sadie insisted, grabbing his arm. "I can't rest until I see my child."

"Alright." Mason wrapped an arm around her. "Put on a coat, and I'll wait for you outside."

"Okay."

...

Inside a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Micah frowned as he watched a video on his tablet.

He had discovered the footage of the three children even before Mason did and also found out about Mr. Clemens' car hitting one of them before taking them to the hospital. It was Micah who had the footage wiped clean to prevent leaks.

As a result, Mason could only obtain the earlier footage, not the part covering the accident.

Now, Micah was on his way to X Pharmaceuticals.

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Clemens' car hit Miss Roth's child," Andrew said tentatively. "If Sadie replaces out the truth, she might misunderstand again."

"Hasn't she misunderstood me enough?" Micah said icily, "One more or less doesn't matter. What's important now is that Mr. Clemens can't replace out those three kids are Sadie's!"

"Uh... got it!"

It was only now that Andrew realized the depth of Micah's feelings for Sadie surpassed his expectations. Micah's determination to keep the truth from Mr. Clemens hints at his hopes for a future with Sadie. "Micah, the information from the hospital."

Rylan handed over the hospitalization reports for Nathan and Mia and briefed him.

"Nathan was hit by a car. He suffered a mild concussion and a fractured left ankle, along with several scrapes. He woke up this morning and is now out of danger."

"Mia, that's her name, was traumatized by seeing her brother hurt, which led to tonsillitis. She had a slight fever last night, but it has stabilized now. Noah is fine."

"Mr. Clemens was at the hospital managing everything personally after the accident. He left at midnight and was back again just after eight this morning. He's still there, keeping company with the three kids."
