Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 494 Eleanor's Daughter

"Take a look." Selina handed her a tablet.

Nick swiped through the screen, perusing the information with an excited sneer. "I never imagined that a businessman I inadvertently caused to die four years ago turned out to be Eleanor's lover! Hahaha!" "Sir, this is just speculation at this point, right?" Selina asked, puzzled. "Edmond was just an ordinary businessman. How could he be involved with Eleanor?"

"That's true. We need more confirmation."

Nick twirled the ring on his ring finger, his eyes coldly fixed on Sadie. After a while, he made a call...

The phone rang for a long time before someone answered, and a deep voice came through. "Hello?"

"Nelson, long time no see." Nick's voice seemed friendly yet arrogant as he smiled faintly. "I have a question for you."

"What is it?" Nelson was obviously guarded.

"Eleanor..." Nick said the name slowly, probing, "Does she have a daughter?"

There was a significant pause on Nelson's end, revealing his shock.

"It seems you've already seen Sadie," Nick deduced with a cold laugh. "You don't need to say anything. I can replace out for myself. Eleanor had a man on the side back in the day, and she even had an illegitimate daughter with him..." Nick paused before asking tentatively, "That man's name was Edmond, right?"

"I don't know," Nelson responded icily. "Edmond is dead, and there's no proof. You're just speculating. Don't hurt the innocent."

"It looks like my guess was right," Nick concluded. "Sadie is the daughter of Edmond and Eleanor!"

"Nick, enough!" Nelson chided in a low voice. "The hatred of the past generation is over. Your older brother has long been dead. Stop this madness."

"You really are kind-hearted," Nick retorted with a sneer. "Your daughter is about to get engaged to Micah, who still pines for another woman. Doesn't that bother you? Or is it because the other woman is Eleanor's daughter, so much so that you'd disregard your own daughter's happiness?"

"Nick Clemens"

"Save it," Nick cut him off, uninterested in continuing the conversation. "I was just curious, that's all. Don't worry about it.'

After ending the call, Nick glanced at Sadie, who was fast asleep, and a smug, cold smile crossed his lips. "It was so easy. Had I known she was Eleanor's daughter from the beginning, why would I have exerted so much effort?" As Nick gently stroked Sadie's beautiful face, he chuckled and exclaimed, "Eleanor, my dear Eleanor, you truly are my lucky star, always there for me even in moments like this!"

Meanwhile, Sadie lay in a deep sleep, oblivious to her surroundings. All she could sense was agony—a relentless torment akin to a swarm of insects gnawing at her, threatening to tear her veins apart.

It felt as though she hovered on the precipice of death.

Micah endured a nightmare. In it, he descended the stairs to meet Sadie. As he swung open the car door, he found Sadie seated inside, lifeless, her face contorted in a horrifying expression, blood seeping from every orifice. Behind him, Nick's sinister laugh echoed, his demeanor that of a madman.

Micah jolted awake, his body slick with sweat, his heart racing.

For years, except for the day his parents had their accident, Micah had never experienced such a feeling...

A sudden, ominous premonition filled his heart, leaving him feeling uneasy and restless. Glancing at his watch, he noted it was 6:30 p.m.

With a sense of urgency, he sprang out of bed, washed his face, and hurried downstairs to wait for Nick. His primary concern was to see Sadie at the earliest opportunity, ensuring her safety and well-being. "Mr. Clemens, don't worry. Rylan's people are monitoring the situation. Your uncle's car entered Newark three hours ago. He should arrive early."
