Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss! -
Chapter 394 A Vow of Vengeance
"No matter what it takes, handle Amelia's entourage and replace out who's responsible for that poison!" Micah finally turned around. His eyes were still downcast as he twisted the cube in his hands, but his gaze was as cold as a scythe from hell!
"Understood!" Rylan bowed, accepting the order.
In fact, Rylan and Andrew both realized that Micah was convinced Amelia had poisoned herself. But in today's situation, they couldn't expose her without proof.
Of course, they all knew Amelia was targeting Sadie. She wanted to seize the opportunity to deal with Sadie thoroughly before Micah's grandfather and Nelson. Little did she expect that Micah would rather take the blame himself in an effort to protect Sadie!
This led to Micah's grandfather erupting in anger before everyone and even slapping Micah.
Who was Micah, after all? A man who never let any offense go unavenged!
Who would dare touch a hair on his head? He'd topple their entire world.
And a slap? Though it came from his grandfather, Micah had to count it against Amelia.
Actually, whether to marry or not wasn't important, but... if the poison really was Amelia's doing, then Micah would never keep such a calculating woman by his side!
"Then, I'll handle it now," Rylan said as he turned to leave. Something else came to mind, and he cautiously asked, "Mr. Luminex seems quite interested in Miss Roth's situation. Should we provide her with protection?"
"No need," Micah answered decisively. "There's nothing to question about his character but not so much about Amelia."
"Yes." Rylan nodded. "About dismissing Miss Roth, should we help her replace a new job?"
"There's no need," Micah said coldly, his words steeped with resentment. "Not only is there no need, but make sure she can't replace a job either. This foolish woman needs to taste the hardships of life. That might teach her a lesson!" "Understood!" Rylan bowed his head and left.
"How did it go?" Andrew asked anxiously.
"Much calmer now." Rylan sighed. "I'll go take care of things. Be careful around him."
"Mhm..."
...
Sadie had the driver stop at the corner of Blissful Lane 1 and walked home alone.
So many things had happened today, and she was in a whirlwind of emotions, replaying the scene where Micah had protected her...
Her feelings were tumultuous and indescribable.
She wondered how he was faring. Was he simmering with anger, alone in his office, venting his frustrations by smashing objects? Perhaps the bottles of expensive liquor and luxury items lay shattered by now. Had the red imprint of the slap on his cheek begun to fade? Did it sting physically? Perhaps the pain in his heart cut deeper still..
Sadie let out a deep sigh. Sometimes, she just didn't understand him. He was always domineering and controlling towards her, ready to torment her like a madman at the smallest sign of defiance...
Yet, every time she was in trouble, he appeared like a guardian angel to rescue her from disaster.
It struck Sadie as odd that he would go to such lengths to help her. In her estimation, he should have been grilling her intensely, possibly even taking her to the police station. Why protect her at all costs? She couldn't figure it out...
Suddenly, the ringing of her phone cut through her thoughts. It was a call from Victoria.
Without delay, Sadie picked up. "Hello?"
"Sadie, I'm calling on behalf of the company to inform you that you've been officially terminated. Your final paycheck will be deposited into your account shortly. I'll mail you anything you left in the office. Just text me the address," Victoria rattled off in one breath.
Sadie froze, taking a moment to process the information. "Okay, got it. I don't have anything important there. You can just toss it out."
"Alright then," Victoria didn't linger on the conversation, "Take care."
"You too, goodbye!"
