Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1228 Try Contacting Tristan Again

Amanda bounced back quick, her voice oozing fake concern. "Hey, I didn't stop you from seeing Micah. Just think it'd be better if we head back to Sunvale together, set some stuff up, and then you go see him." "Set stuff up?" Sadie asked, eyebrows knitting together. "What kind of stuff?"

"You're a lady from a big-shot family, you get it," Amanda said with a grin. "Gotta clear out the paparazzi hanging around the hotel. Joe won't mess with your meet-up with Micah, but he's gotta go with you to the hotel." "You're making this way too complicated," Sadie said, exasperated. "Your plans are just gonna tip Micah off, and then I won't get to talk to him."

"I'm not dumb. I can keep it on the down-low," Amanda shot back.

"Duchess Louis," Sadie cut her off, not wanting to drag this out. "I'll handle it myself. Let them through."

"Sadie, I'm treating you like family here," Amanda suddenly got all serious. "You and Joe are already hitched. Micah saw it himself. There's no way you two can patch things up. You should just focus on the wedding. Otherwise, you might end up with nothing."

Sadie couldn't help but laugh. Not wanting to waste more breath, she ordered, "Drive!"

"Got it," Arya said, hitting the gas.

"Sadie, what are you doing?" Amanda yelled, fuming. "I'm trying to help you, but you won't listen..." Before she could finish, the car sped off. The bodyguards stepped aside, not daring to stop them.

"What are you waiting for? Stop her!" Amanda screamed.

The soldiers moved to block the way, but Jesse whipped out a gun and fired a few shots at their feet, making them back off.

They were about to draw their guns, but Joe showed up just in time and stopped them. "What are you doing? Stand down!"

Sadie's convoy sped away, leaving Amanda fuming.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Joe didn't comfort Amanda; he scolded her. "Sadie wants to see the kids and get back to Sunvale early. What's wrong with that? Why'd you try to stop her? You're gonna mess things up between us." "Do you even have a relationship?" Amanda snapped back. "Did she tell you she's going to see Micah? You're such a useless fiancé."

"You..." Joe started, but Amanda cut him off and stormed off. "Just wait; when Sadie sees Micah, who knows what'll happen? If the wedding falls apart, our family will be a joke."

Joe stood there, watching Sadie's convoy disappear, Amanda's words echoing in his head. His dream was to marry Sadie. Even if she didn't love him now, he believed he could win her over someday.

She was already his.

He couldn't let anything mess up the wedding, and with only three days left, he had to hold on to his dream.

Determined, Joe turned to his attendant. "Get the car ready. We're going to Sunvale."

"Yes," the attendant replied.

"It's so annoying how Amanda's all fake and even threatening Ms. James," Arya grumbled while driving.

"We've done everything right. Whatever happens next, it's on them," Annika said, more level-headed. "Jesse, try hitting up Tristan again," Sadie suddenly instructed.

"On it," Jesse replied.
