Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1067 Someone Came Last Night

Joe took a punch from Sadie, and his eye was already swelling up. He covered it and slunk out of the room, feeling so wronged he almost cried. "Whoa," Annika said, stunned to see him like that. "Mr. Louis, what happened to you?"

"I didn't do it," Joe pouted, then headed back to his room, feeling all kinds of aggrieved.

Annika, still confused, knocked on Sadie's door and walked in. "Ms. James, you're up early. How was last night?"

"Pretty good. First time in two years I slept well during a thunderstorm," Sadie said, coming out of the bathroom and heading to her walk-in closet to pick out clothes. "That's good," Annika sighed in relief, then asked curiously, "I saw Joe leave just now, looking upset and covering his eye. What happened?"

"He got beaten up," Sadie said, her anger flaring up again. "I thought he was a decent guy, but he tried to take advantage of someone vulnerable."

"Uh, what exactly happened?" Annika's curiosity was piqued.

"Don't be so nosy," Sadie shot her a look. "Get ready. We're leaving at eight sharp. I need to wrap up the Sapphire Depths project today."

"Yes, ma'am," Annika quickly nodded and got to work.

Sadie changed her clothes and went to Mia's room. She opened the door to find Mia already awake, with Serena doing her hair and two maids tidying up.

"Mia!" Sadie smiled as she walked in.

"Mom," Mia called sweetly.

"Why are you up so early? Why not sleep a bit more?" Sadie asked, sitting at the dressing table and looking at Mia in the mirror.

"Mom, I want to see Dad, Noah, and Nathan today. Can I?" Mia asked, looking hopeful.

Sadie was taken aback. Mia had only been back for a day and already missed them. It seemed she really couldn't stay here.

"Great-grandpa passed away. Dad is very sad, and Noah and Nathan are also very upset. I want to be with them. Silas said Great-grandpa's funeral is tomorrow, so I want to go today," Mia explained. "I asked Dr. Henry, and he said if I don't have a fever today, it should be fine."

"Alright, let's rest at home during the day. If you don't have a fever by the time I get home in the evening, I'll take you there, okay?" Sadie offered a compromise.

"Okay," Mia nodded obediently. "Thank you, Mom!"

"Good girl!" Sadie kissed her forehead. "Once your hair is done, come downstairs with Serena for breakfast."

Mia sat up straight and cooperated fully. Serena and Sadie exchanged a smile and continued braiding Mia's hair.

Sadie was about to leave when a maid suddenly said, "Oh no, why are there two pieces of pizza? They're not fresh now."

Another maid quickly added, "Maybe Ms. James was hungry and secretly ate pizza in her room. It's okay; we'll just clean it up."

The maid nodded. Sadie heard it but didn't pay much attention. She just said to Mia, "Mia, if you're hungry, eat at the table. Don't bring food to bed."

"Got it, Mom," Mia said, feeling a bit guilty.

The maid threw the pizza in the trash and continued tidying the bed. Sadie suddenly noticed it was a ham pizza!

She was stunned for a moment. There was no ham pizza in her house, and no one would make it. How did it end up in Mia's room?

Could it be...

Sadie looked at Mia and cautiously said, "Hmm, this looks a bit like ham pizza."

Mia quickly lowered her head, twisting her hands in her clothes, not daring to speak.

"Maybe it just looks like it. It's not edible anyway," Serena said, not paying much attention. "True," Sadie said, but from Mia's reaction, she knew someone must have been here last night.
