Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 396 Taking Ownership

"I'll think about it..." Sadie said as she was ready to end the call.

"Wait a second!" Kathleen called out anxiously. "The price is negotiable. Think it over and contact me anytime you're ready."

"You guys don't even have $70,000,0000?" Sadie was puzzled. "That ruby necklace alone must be worth a fortune, not to mention your other assets..."

"Don't get me started!" Kathleen fumed. "Leah sold off all our valuable jewelry, cars, and some real estate behind our backs in a desperate attempt to save her marriage. She turned over more than $300,000,000 to Ronanr's company to keep it afloat and ended up losing everything.

"You don't have to worry about me playing tricks. Mr. Clemens is your backer. How could I dare to cross you? Think it over. If you're interested, give me a call."

With that, Kathleen hung up.

Sadie's emotions were mixed while listening to the dial tone on the other end...

Of course, she didn't want to see her father's legacy ruined or her once warm and happy home sold to strangers.

She could use her father's inheritance to buy those properties. However, if she bought the factories, how could she manage them without any management experience?

Given her current lifestyle, which required commuting by car, the mansion is so large that it would require at least four or five housekeepers. Without money-making skills, how could she afford to maintain it after purchasing it? Her father had left her a significant amount of money, but she couldn't just live off it forever.

Moreover, given the current situation between her and Micah, she likely became a thorn in the side of Micah's grandfather and the Luminex family. Who knew what may happen in the future...

Not to mention that she was already mentally and physically exhausted; she didn't want to deal with all this anymore. More importantly, Brenda and the kids couldn't handle the strain either. She now genuinely wanted to take Brenda and the kids and leave this place for a quieter life elsewhere...

As she was lost in her thoughts, Sadie's phone rang again; it was Jonathan Chase calling.

She quickly answered, "Mr. Chase!"

"Miss Roth, I'd like to meet with you. Are you available?"

"Yes, I am. Should I come to your office?"

"No, I'll come to you. Send me the address."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Sadie texted the address of a nearby café to Jonathan. She then called Noah and instructed him to bring his siblings home with the caregivers after school, stay put, and not wander off. Noah promised repeatedly, telling her to focus on work and not worry about home, adding that they would call her if anything came up.

Sadie was reassured. With the three kids now having phone watches, contacting them had become much more convenient.

...

Sadie had been waiting at the coffee shop for over ten minutes when Jonathan rushed in, his forehead drenched in sweat, gasping for air.

As soon as he saw her, he blurted out, "Miss Roth, did you know? The Roth Group is being sold!"

"I just heard the news." Sadie nodded. "Did my uncle come to you?"

"He didn't specifically come to me, but he's been reaching out to the former CEO's subordinates to see if anyone's interested in buying," Jonathan replied with a furrowed brow and a tone filled with righteous indignation. "The guy's despicable! He seized the CEO's legacy with underhanded tactics by capitalizing on his connections with the Potter family and made a fortune for a few years. Now that he can't run the business, he's throwing it away for a song. It's a complete disgrace to the CEO's hard work!"

After speaking, Jonathan seemed uneasy. "Miss Roth, I shouldn't be telling you all this. I'm just worried. I don't want to see the business the CEO worked so hard to build fall into someone else's hands."

"I understand," said Sadie, nodding. "I'm not a kid anymore. There are things that I would know, even without you telling me."

Jonathan let out a deep sigh. "I just don't have the capital. If I had the money, I'd buy those factories in a heartbeat..."
