"What do you mean?" Sadie shot him a cold glare.

"You went through all that trouble to ditch the Louis family, and now you want to go back?" Micah snapped, frustration dripping from his voice. "It's only been two weeks, and you've already forgotten the hell you went through? What's going on in that head of yours?"

"You're nuts," Sadie shot back, not in the mood to explain. "It's none of your business."

As she turned to leave, Micah grabbed her wrist and pinned her against the wall, his eyes blazing with anger. "Sadie, if you weren't the mother of my kids, I wouldn't care if you lived or died. I'm begging you to wake up. The James Group is done for, and the Louis family won't treat you any better. If you keep messing around with Joe, you're only gonna hurt yourself."

"Have you said enough? Let go of me." Sadie struggled, but Micah wouldn't budge. As they tussled, an angry voice shouted, "Let her go!"

Sadie looked up to see Joe standing nearby, glaring at Micah with clenched fists.

"What right do you have to interfere with us?" Micah, seeing Joe, got even more furious. "You two already broke off the engagement, and I was the one who got her out of your house." "She's my fiancée. Let her go," Joe shouted back.

Joe's reaction only fueled Micah's anger. Without thinking, Micah wrapped his arm around Sadie's waist and taunted, "Your fiancée? She was mine from the start, and she still is." "You..." Joe was livid. He grabbed a knife from the table and lunged at Micah, shouting, "Die, Micah!"

"Joe, no!" Sadie screamed.

Micah's eyes narrowed, ready to fight back, but before he could react, Sadie pushed him away and grabbed the knife with her hand. The room seemed to freeze.

Micah's eyes widened in shock, unable to believe what he was seeing.

Joe was stunned; he never expected Sadie to do something like that.

Her hand gripped the knife tightly, the blade slicing into her palm. Blood gushed out, staining her white shirt.

"Sadie!" Joe was terrified, letting go, his whole body trembling. "Why, why did you..."

"You're crazy." Micah kicked Joe away and grabbed Sadie's wrist to stop the bleeding, shouting, "Dahlia!"

Dahlia rushed over, terrified at the sight, and quickly started to treat Sadie's wound.

"Oh my God, Ms. James!" Annika panicked, "How did this happen?"

"I didn't mean to, Sadie, I didn't want to hurt you." Joe cried, "Why are you so foolish?"

"Get out!" Micah roared.

"Micah, it's all your fault." Joe pointed at Micah, "If it weren't for you, Sadie and I wouldn't be like this."

Micah was about to hit him, but Sadie held him back. Using her left hand to grab his clothes, she weakly said to Joe, "Joe, just go!"

"Sadie..." Joe started.

"Go!" Sadie shouted.

A few attendants cautiously advised, "Mr. Louis, let's go. Don't make Ms. James angry."

Joe got up, looking disheveled, and followed the attendants out.

"The wound is deep; it needs stitches." Dahlia said urgently, "We need to get to the hospital now."

"Get the car ready," Micah ordered.

"Yes." Andrew responded, rushing to prepare the car.
