Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss! -
Chapter 384 Permitting Her Existence
Andrew halted in his tracks and hastily paid respects to Grandpa Clemens.
Grandpa Clemens curled his lips into a smug, cold smile, then leaned on his cane as he strode inside. Nelson and Amelia hurried over, each taking an arm to support him.
Micah remained seated on the stage, his face a mask of icy detachment as he observed his grandfather.
Behind Grandpa Clemens followed Rylan and two capable bodyguards. Rylan looked crestfallenand didn't dare meet Micah's eyes.
With a charming smile, Silas said in a low voice, trying to smooth things over, "Mr. Clemens, don't be upset. Rylan can't possibly beat me."
His words were laced with innuendo, implying that Micah stood no chance against Grandpa Clemens.
After all, there was no beating the cunning of the old fox!
The old man had instructed Nelson to go ahead alone, making Rylan lower his guard. Then they found another way in...
Even though Rylan had locked down the entire VIC Group building and stood guard with strict orders to prevent anyone from entering including Grandpa Clemens!-the old man had still found a way...
After all, Rylan and Andrew had been both trained by Silas. Their skills were all learned from him, so it was no issue for Silas to bring the old man inside smoothly.
Sadie realized the situation just by looking at Micah's expression...
Micah had been resisting an arranged marriage, which was why Rylan had locked down the VIC Group building.
But it had been a step too late, and Grandpa Clemens had outmaneuvered him!
It seemed the alliance through marriage was inevitable today.
Would Micah fiercely resist at all costs?
Or would he compromise?
Sadie's heart couldn't help tightening...
Rationally, she hoped Micah would go through with the marriage. Then, he would be too busy to bother her, and maybe he would let her go before long.
But for some reason, when she realized the current situation, her heart was in turmoil...
An instinctual voice inside her was telling her that she didn't want Micah to get married...
"What are you trying to do?" Micah demanded through gritted teeth, barely containing his anger.
"It's simple!" Grandpa Clemens said with a smirk. "I want a great-grandson!"
Micah's face nearly turned green, but he managed to keep his temper in check and said in a low voice, "Can't I just replace someone to bear you one? Let's not make a scene today." "That won't do." Grandpa Clemens was adamant. "I'm already ninety-six. How many years do I have left? I want to hold my great-grandson as soon as possible!"
"Don't you already have three little grandchildren?" Micah brought up Mia and the other two. "You were having a blast playing with them just yesterday."
"Those three are sweet and adorable, but they don't carry the Clemens name..." Grandpa Clemens said coldly, "You're the one who reminded me of that."
Micah was speechless. "Enough already. I promise you I'll tie the knot and have kids as soon as possible. Happy now?"
"You'll never settle down if I don't push you." Grandpa Clemens was unmoved. "Besides, I'm not necessarily pleased with your choice!"
As he said this, his gaze shifted towards the side room, landing on Sadie with a chilling coldness.
Feeling a shiver, Sadie hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look back.
Following the old man's gaze, Micah noticed Silas, flanked by two bodyguards, approaching Sadie...
With a fierce look in his eyes, Micah sprang to his feet, but Grandpa Clemens said cooly, "If you want her to stay alive, you'll do as I say." Micah's face darkened, and his fists creaked from the tension.
"Be good!" Grandpa Clemens pulled Micah back to his seat and whispered into his ear, "As long as you obey, I'll tolerate that woman's presence."
"What do you mean?" Micah furrowed his brow.
"A man not enjoying life in his youth is a waste," Grandpa Clemens remarked with a carefree tone. "Marry Amelia as your lawful wife, and I won't interfere with you keeping a few mistresses on the side!"
