Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss! -
Chapter 390 Without a Leg to Stand On
The lounge was filled with doctors and medical staff.
Dahlia and her team, accompanied by the hospital director and several specialists, had arrived. They formed a group of over 20 medical professionals, presenting an impressive sight! Sadie was a little intimidated, thinking Amelia's poisoning was life-threatening.
As she approached, Sadie noticed Amelia propped up in bed. Amelia was fully conscious despite her weakened state, and her complexion wasn't as pale as Sadie had expected.
Indeed, status made a difference; as a wealthy heiress, life itself seemed more precious.
Sadie's own father had been treated the same when he was alive.
Now, with her father gone, her life was as insignificant as that of a blade of weed!
This thought brought a bitter feeling to Sadie...
"Gentlemen," the medical team greeted Micah's grandfather respectfully.
"How is she doing?" Micah's grandfather asked.
"We've done a comprehensive exam on Miss Amelia; it was food poisoning. We caught it early, so there's no life-threatening danger," Dahlia reported. "We just pumped her stomach, and she's a bit weak now but should be fine after some rest." "That's a relief," Micah's grandfather breathed easier and told the medical staff, "You all may leave. Dahlia can stay."
"Yes."
The medical staff gradually left, and the room quieted down.
Micah's grandfather approached the bed and asked with concern, "Amelia, how are you feeling?"
"I'm still a bit uncomfortable, but it should be nothing serious," Amelia said weakly. Thank you, Grandpa, for your concern."
"Sweetheart." Micah's grandfather berated himself with guilt, "I failed to protect you, but don't worry, I'll make things right for you and your father!"
With that, he commanded furiously, "Bring the person here!"
A bodyguard shoved Sadie to the edge of the bed. She tried to rise, but the bodyguard pinned her shoulders down.
"What are you doing?" Sadie asked, livid. "I'm not a criminal! Why are you treating me like this?"
"Shut up!" Micah's grandfather glared at her and then softened his tone as he turned to Amelia. "Amelia, tell me, what have you eaten today?"
"I... I flew back early this morning and went straight to the VIC Group since I was caught up in preparing for the press conference. I didn't eat anything and didn't even have time for a sip of water. I just had a cup of coffee—" At this point, Amelia's eyes widened as she looked at Sadie as if waking from a dream. "Could it be something was wrong with that coffee?"
"Mhm." Micah's grandfather nodded, "It's been tested-the coffee was poisoned."
"You, why would you try to harm me?" Amelia pointed at Sadie with trembling emotion. "Sure, I can be hot-headed, but I never did you wrong. Why are you so malicious?"
"Do you honestly believe I'd harm you?" Sadie met Amelia's gaze in disbelief. "You're the one who gave me a hard time, demanding me to serve you coffee. How could I possibly get poison into it?"
"That's enough, no more excuses," Amelia said, visibly angry. "Is it because I accidentally exposed your affair with Mason, causing Micah to take action? You've been holding a grudge against me, so you poisoned me?" "That's not it at all..."
"Silence!" Micah's grandfather barked in a formidable tone, "I had no idea about this twist. That's how you operate, hiding things from me?"
"I—"
"Adding poison to the coffee seems to be her signature move," Amelia glowered hatefully at Sadie. "She once tampered with Mr. Wood's coffee, and it almost choked him to death. Everyone in the company knows of that incident." "That does ring a bell," Silas nodded in agreement, "I've heard about it."
"Perfect." Micah's grandfather sneered with scorn and shouted, "Why are you still standing there? Take her away!" "Wait!"
The voice that spoke out belonged not only to Micah, who had just entered the break room, but also to Nelson!
