Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1227 Preventing Trouble at the Wedding

"Ms. James ain't no puppet of the Louis family. We can't even come and go as we please?" Arya yelled, fuming. "Move it!"

"Sorry!" The bodyguards stood their ground, blocking the way with stone-cold faces. Soldiers nearby went to fetch Craig and Amanda, forming a tight circle around them. No way out. Seeing this whole show, Sadie smirked. Craig and Amanda were really pulling out all the stops. They couldn't risk her bolting and making the Louis family look like fools.

They must've known she was planning to head to Sunvale once Hubert left, so they had the soldiers stop her on the down-low. They wouldn't show up themselves but wouldn't let her leave either. How lovely! "Ms. James, just say the word, and we'll bust through! Don't sweat these soldiers!" Jesse, one of Tristan's guys, was always up for a fight. A few dozen soldiers? No big deal.

"No need." Sadie was different now, more composed. She spoke calmly, "Don't mess with the Louis family before Tristan gets here! He did agree to this marriage, after all."

"So, what now?" Annika asked softly.

"Wait." Sadie murmured, leaning back in her chair, gently petting her eagle, Coco. She told the maids to cover the three sleeping kids with blankets.

"Why wait?" Arya whispered angrily. "We should just break through now. I doubt they'd really shoot. Even if they do, we ain't scared."

"Shut up." Annika shot her a glare.

"L.." Arya bit her lip, clearly pissed but keeping quiet.

Soon, Amanda rolled up in a carriage.

She first chewed out the bodyguards and soldiers, saying they were out of line for stopping Sadie's convoy. Then she said Sadie was the future mistress of the Louis family, and everyone had to treat her with the utmost respect. Her words were all nice and proper, but to Sadie, they reeked of sarcasm and hypocrisy.

Sadie stayed silent, holding Coco and calmly watching Amanda's little act.

"Sadie, don't be mad. I've already scolded them." Amanda said softly. She walked to the side of the carriage and peeked inside. "Oh, you brought the kids too. It's so late. Where are you headed?"

"To Sunvale," Sadie replied bluntly. "I need to talk to Micah about the kids."

"Didn't we agree to leave together as a family tomorrow morning?" Amanda stressed "as a family." "Now you're taking the kids to Sunvale alone. It's a long and bumpy trip."

"I've got a private jet lined up," Sadie cut her off. "Duchess Louis, no need to worry. I'm just going to talk about the kids. I'll be back before the wedding, promise!"

"Sadie, listen to yourself. I'm just worried about you." Amanda smiled slightly, her words dripping with hidden meaning. "In three days, you and Joe are getting hitched. The whole world's watching this wedding. If any bad rumors start now, it'll mess up the Louis family's and the James Group's reputations, got it?"

"I got it," Sadie said coolly. "I get your concerns, which is why I need to see Micah before the wedding to clear things up. If he causes a scene at the wedding, both our families' reputations will be toast."

Amanda's eyes flickered with surprise. She hadn't thought about Micah causing trouble. Given his status, his appearance at the wedding could indeed be a disaster if he decided to stir things up.
