Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 997 One Step Ahead

Rodolfo climbed out the window, and only then did Sadie push the door open and enter.

Arya was still tilting her head, looking towards the window, her eyes full of reluctance.

"He's already gone, and you're still looking?" Sadie's voice came through.

Arya was startled and hurriedly explained, "Ms. James, I..."

"I already heard it," Sadie interrupted her, sitting on the chair by the bed. "Rodolfo is deeply in love with you; he's a good man."

"No, he's too immature," Arya said shyly, lowering her head. "I just scolded him. How could he leave his post on such an important matter."

"That deserves a scolding." Sadie smiled. "But you risked your life to protect me, so it balances out."

"How can you say that?" Arya blushed and said coyly. "The credit is mine; how can it offset his mistake?" "You're right." Sadie nodded seriously. "Then let Micah punish him properly."

"No." Arya became anxious immediately.

Annika couldn't help but laugh. "After all that arguing, you're still worried, aren't you?"

"You're so annoying." Arya threw a pillow at her.

"You're still so fierce, even injured. Be careful, or your boyfriend might leave you," Annika teased.

"He is not my boyfriend. Stop talking nonsense." Arya's face turned red to her ears.

"You are also at fault." Annika smirked. "He rushed back early just for you. Ms. James said your merits offset his faults, and you still won't accept it. You are so ungrateful." "Ms. James, please do something about her," Arya said shyly like a little girl.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore." Sadie laughed, looking at her blushing face. "You're all still young; it's normal to date. Rodolfo is a good man; you should cherish him." "But..."

"The fact that he ran back is only known to the three of us. If we don't say anything, it won't be a problem." Sadie stood up. "Alright, you rest well. We need to go to the airport. If something really happens, your Rodolfo will be in trouble." "Yes." Arya nodded repeatedly. "Dr. Henry is very important; nothing must happen to him."

"I'll leave someone to protect you. Take care of yourself." Sadie patted her arm. She then turned and arranged for a bodyguard to stay before leaving.

"Ms. James, you're so nice to us," Annika said sincerely.

"Are you saying Tristan isn't nice to you?" Sadie retorted.

"No, that's not what I meant," Annika quickly explained.

Seeing her blushed face, Sadie couldn't help but laugh but then pretended to be stern and walked quickly ahead.

Annika followed behind, watching Sadie's back, and smiled faintly.

Compared to Tristan's strictness and coldness, Sadie seemed much more approachable.

Even though she had deep hatred towards the Clemens family, Sadie never stopped them from interacting with the Clemens family's members. That's who she was, kind and soft-hearted deep down.

Sadie hurried to the airport with her team. On the highway, they suddenly saw the Clemens family's convoy speeding past.

"What's going on?" Annika frowned as she looked at the convoy outside. "Such a big formation, and driving so fast. Did something happen?" "Hopefully not." Sadie's face darkened. "Drive faster."

"Yes."

Arya was seriously injured, and the other female bodyguards' driving skills were limited, so they arrived at the airport ten minutes late. The group hurried to the arrival area and found the Clemens family's bodyguards searching everywhere.

Annika immediately recognized a familiar face and rushed forward to ask, "What's going on? Weren't you here to pick up Dr. Henry?"

"Dr. Henry was kidnapped just before we got here," the person said anxiously. "We're searching everywhere."

"How could this happen? Who took him?" Annika asked urgently.

"We don't know yet."
