Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 658 Aftermath

"Maybe they're afraid that I'll take the children away," Sadie mused, her voice laced with uncertainty. "The Clemens family wishes to retain custody of the children, so they've banished me to a distant place."Brenda, however, struggled to comprehend their logic. "Even if they believe the children would agree to it, the children will miss you."

Sadie's eyes widened as a chilling realization dawned on her. "Mr. Clemens Senior informed Noah that they sent me away for treatment. If anything were to happen, they would tell the children that I didn't survive the treatment," she said, her voice trembling with fear. "Yes, they might indeed resort to such measures. I need to call Noah now!"Brenda, taken aback, immediately attempted to contact Noah via his wristwatch phone, but to no avail. She tried reaching out to Nathan, Mia, and Serena as well, but each call ended in failure. Overwhelmed with panic, she questioned, "Is this phone broken?"

Sadie, spotting a bottle of mineral water on the table with a phone number printed on it, suggested, "Try this."Brenda dialed the number and was relieved when the call connected instantly. She quickly ended the call and asked, her voice filled with urgency, "Could it be that international long-distance calls aren't enabled on this phone?"Sadie inquired about Brenda's phone, to which Brenda replied, her annoyance evident, "Silas confiscated it a while ago. He claimed he was merely holding onto it for me, but it seems he intended to trick me out of my phone all along. Miss, what about your phone?"Sadie furrowed her brow. "Serena was holding onto my phone during the wedding ceremony. Tomorrow, we'll purchase a new phone, acquire a local number, and then we can attempt making international calls."Brenda nodded in agreement. "Don't worry, I'll be by your side. Everything will work out."Tears welled up in Sadie's eyes and began to trickle down her cheeks. She clung tightly to Brenda, her gaze fixed on the inky black horizon, her heart filled with dread and uncertainty about the future. Meanwhile, in Newark, the wedding proceeded as scheduled despite Sadie's absence. The guests followed the program, partook in the feast, and offered their blessings. However, the newlyweds were conspicuously absent from the social interactions.After the wedding concluded amidst a cloud of doubt, the guests quietly dispersed, none daring to probe further. Only Jonathan and a few others from the bride's side cautiously inquired about Sadie's whereabouts, stating they had brought gifts and wished to personally extend their blessings to Sadie and Micah.Silas managed the situation deftly, explaining that Sadie had fallen ill and Micah had accompanied her to the hospital. Jonathan, anxious, immediately asked about the nature of her illness. Silas, however, maintained that it was not appropriate to disclose such information. Left with no other choice, Jonathan had to depart without pressing further.In the evening, the three children returned home, clamoring to visit their Mommy in the hospital. Mr. Clemens Senior explained that their mother was battling a complex illness and required a peaceful environment for her treatment. He assured them that Daddy was with Mommy at the hospital and that they would be preoccupied for a while. He requested the children to stay at his house until Mommy's condition improved.Recalling their Mommy's prolonged treatment and her frail health upon her return, the children agreed to comply and let their Mommy receive the necessary treatment. Thus, they followed Mr. Clemens Senior. The house fell eerily silent. Upon his return, Micah found himself alone in the living room, staring at the empty house. Gone was Brenda's lively chatter, Sadie's tender smile, and the children's boisterous laughter. The house no longer felt like home. Micah's spirits plummeted. He raised a hand to his forehead, his mind consumed with thoughts of Sadie. 'She must be feeling utterly hopeless and devastated. I'm sure she must be harboring suspicions and resentment towards me.' he thought."Mr. Clemens!" a cautious voice interrupted his thoughts. "I've arranged for someone to keep an eye on Miss Clemens. She hasn't made any moves. She handed over the antidote and left with the old master's shares. She has just boarded a private jet bound for State H."Micah nodded slightly and instructed, "Continue monitoring Nick and make sure she doesn't come near Sadie.""Understood," Rylan nodded, confirming, "I've already made the necessary arrangements."
