Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1194 Don't Do Anything Yet

"It seems I really underestimated her," Amanda muttered, her anger bubbling up. She'd never been disrespected like this, especially by someone younger. "So, what now?" Barbara asked, a bit hesitant.

Amanda took a slow sip of her coffee, her face shifting. "You make it sound like I'm at war with Sadie."

Barbara was caught off guard, not sure how to respond.

"Yeah, we messed up when Mary got lost. If Tristan finds out, I'm toast," Amanda said seriously. "So, for now, everyone needs to chill and not screw up." "Got it," the maids nodded, heads down.

"Be nice to the James family, especially the kids and Hubert. Show some respect," Amanda warned. "And don't mess with Annika and Arya. Got it?" "Understood, Duchess Louis," the maids replied.

"Just lay low for now," Amanda reminded Barbara. "Take good care of Joe."

"Yes," Barbara agreed.

Meanwhile, after lunch, Sadie and Arya headed to the garden to check on Coco. The poor thing got drenched yesterday and wasn't feeling great. "Man, that was satisfying," Arya whispered when they were alone. "Duchess Louis was speechless. Her face was priceless."

"What are you talking about?" Sadie frowned. "I wasn't confronting her, just discussing things."

"Yeah, yeah," Arya nodded, grinning. "You're the most reasonable."

Sadie gave her a look and casually asked, "Heard from Rodolfo lately?"

"Huh?" Arya's face fell. "Since he went back to Country E, he's only called twice. After coming to Grapetown Heights, he ghosted me."

Arya got mad again. "That jerk, if he doesn't want to talk, fine. I can find someone else."

"He ghosted you?" Sadie asked, confused. "What's up with that?"

"I don't know," Arya said, her voice sad. "Maybe Mr. Clemens told him not to, or he found someone else."

"Rodolfo's not like that," Sadie frowned, starting to think something might've happened to Micah.

To keep her in the dark, he probably told Rodolfo to cut ties with Arya.

"Then why's he ignoring me? He even changed his number," Arya said, more upset. "I thought about asking Mr. James to see him, but he bailed first."

"Stop overthinking," Sadie comforted her, patting her shoulder before heading to Coco.

The attendants were giving Coco some meds. The bird, which had been lying around, perked up when it saw Sadie.

Sadie let Coco land on her hand, feeling a pang of sadness at its worn look. She gently stroked its feathers, saying, "Rest up and get better soon."

"Coo, coo," Coco cooed softly, pointing its head toward the woods.

"What's over there?" Sadie looked at the woods and ordered, "Go check it out."

"Yes," Arya sent some people to investigate. Over half an hour later, she came back with a rabbit and reported, "Ms. James, we didn't find anything, just this." Sadie said quietly, "As long as there's nothing wrong. Be careful these days."

Arya nodded. "Got it."
