Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss! -
Chapter 661 The Substitute
Nelson sought to reassure the room, "He probably didn't notice her, there's no need for concern." Just then, Silas entered the room in a rush, phone in hand. "Sir," he began, reporting his findings, "I spoke with Andrew the other day. Mr. L from the James Group was seen conversing with Micah in a car. The windows were closed with only a small gap open. It's doubtful he saw anything clearly. As for the wedding, Mr. L kept to the shadows. Whether he saw Miss Roth or not is uncertain. Even if he did, the distance and the crowd would have obscured his view, leaving him with only a vague outline."Mr. Clemens Senior frowned, deep in thought. "Regardless of the clarity of his sight, we must find a way to rectify this situation," he declared. "I had initially planned to establish a status for her and announce her death in a month or two, thereby resolving the issue. However, I now believe we should find a substitute to avoid arousing suspicion."Silas looked uneasy at the suggestion. "Micah won't agree to this," he warned."Does he have a say in the matter?" Mr. Clemens Senior retorted, his voice rising in anger. Silas bowed his head, choosing not to respond further."Nelson," Mr. Clemens Senior suddenly asked, "Don't you have another daughter? I've met her. She's quite beautiful, with a gentle and kind demeanor. Her figure and mannerisms bear a resemblance to Sadie's. "Nelson's eyes widened in surprise. "What are you suggesting?" he asked, taken aback."Everything will be easily resolved," Mr. Clemens Senior replied cryptically. Meanwhile, in Chiang Mai, Thailand, a loud clap of thunder jolted Sadie awake from a nightmare, her screams piercing the silence of the night."Miss, Miss," Brenda quickly rose from her small bed nearby, rushing to comfort Sadie. "Did you have a nightmare? Don't worry, it's alright.""I dreamt that I died," Sadie confessed, her body trembling and slick with sweat. "Someone replaced my face with hers and she married Micah in my place. The children even called her mom."Brenda hurried to reassure her. "Silly girl, such a thing could never happen. It was just a nightmare, don't overthink it. Let me get you a glass of water." With that, Brenda left to fetch water for Sadie.Sadie sat on the bed, clutching a pillow, her eyes fixed on the swaying shadows of the trees outside the French windows. Fear gnawed at her as she curled up in the corner of the bed, still trembling. Returning with a cup of warm water, Brenda soothed, "It's raining, and the wind is strong. But it's okay now. When it gets light, we'll buy a phone and call Noah, Nathan, and Mia."The thought of her children calmed Sadie. She drank the water and soon fell back asleep. "Sleep well," Brenda whispered, tucking her in and gently patting her. "Brenda, don't go. Stay here and sleep with me," Sadie pleaded, gripping Brenda's arm tightly."Silly child, you're all grown up now but still acting like a child," Brenda laughed, laying down beside Sadie. "When you were little, whenever there was thunder, you wanted me to hold you to sleep."Sadie snuggled into Brenda's arms, finding comfort in her presence. "Don't be afraid; our ancestors in god are protecting us. Everything bad will pass soon," Brenda comforted her.Sadie nodded, feeling hopeful. As the sound of the rain lulled her, she murmured, "Why does Chiang Mai have so much rain? Since we arrived, it seems like it has been raining continuously and getting heavier.""Yes, it's the rainy season now," Brenda replied, patting her back. "Sleep, don't be afraid with me here."Brenda's gentle voice gave Sadie a sense of safety. She quickly fell asleep, and Brenda looked at her pale face, gently wiping the sweat off her forehead. As she gazed at the curtain of rain outside, she let out a deep sigh.
