"Who said it doesn't matter?" Raymond defended Ella. "Mia was poisoned while in your care is a fact, right?"

Sadie didn't speak, just stared at Ella.

If she had evidence, she would have exposed Ella's true nature immediately.

"Since Mia was poisoned while in your care, the meaning is completely different," Raymond said righteously. "Think about it from another angle. If the child went back to the James family with you, it would be even more dangerous." "Have you said enough?" It was Micah who spoke.

Sadie looked at Micah in shock; Micah rarely countered Raymond so sharply in front of others.

"Micah, what did you say?" Raymond was very angry.

"Mia's poisoning has another cause, and I've been investigating," Micah said with a frown. "Currently, I suspect she was poisoned at Velvet Spoon Bistro, most likely from drinking a cup of coffee."

He raised the cup in his hand and continued, "I've already had Rylan investigate it, and I believe we'll have results soon."

"You mean, it wasn't someone from the James family who poisoned her, but someone from Velvet Spoon Bistro?" Raymond was very surprised.

Sadie looked deeply at Ella. Ella hid her emotions well, keeping her head down and showing no sign of panic.

"That's right." Micah turned to look at Sadie. "Unfortunately, that set of cups was taken by your people. Otherwise, I would have found out long ago."

"There's nothing wrong with that set of cups. I've already tested them," Sadie responded calmly.

"What do you mean?" Raymond was confused. "Micah is investigating. Why did you take that set of cups?"

"Probably to cover things up," Nelson muttered under his breath.

Sadie turned her gaze to Nelson. Nelson, who used to act like a gentleman, was actually all pretense, just as hypocritical as Ella.

"Enough." Micah changed the subject. "Some things can't be settled just by arguing. Since we're all here, let's quietly finish this breakfast and then go our separate ways."

"Yes," Nelson echoed repeatedly, handing Raymond a bowl of oatmeal, "Mr. Raymond Clemens, have some breakfast first."

Then he handed Ella a glass of milk. "Ella, have some breakfast."

Raymond was still worried that Sadie would take the children away and had no appetite for breakfast. He thought for a moment and said gravely, "There are no outsiders here, so I'll tell you, I've already made my will. After I die, all my assets will go to the three children. No one else could get them, including Micah, Nick, and Alan!"

Everyone was stunned by this statement.

Sadie was extremely shocked. All of Raymond's assets amounted to a fortune that would shake the business world, and he was leaving it all to the three children.

This meant that the children's wealth would surpass both Micah's and Sadie's!

"I've noted in the will that if anything happens to the three children, all the assets will automatically go to the GJ Foundation. No one else will get a penny, including their parents and relatives. Before they reach adulthood, the assets will be managed by Micah, and when they turn twenty, the assets will automatically transfer to them with the joint approval of Micah and Silas!"

After saying this, Raymond added, "Sadie, you are their mother. I hope you can truly consider the children's well-being!"

This time, Sadie was completely silent. What shocked her was not the enormous inheritance but Raymond's care for the children.

The notes in the will were actually to protect the children's safety. Raymond was using this method to tell Nick to stop fighting, as there was no share for her, not even for Micah.

And it was also a way to tell them not to think of using any despicable means to obtain the children's assets, because if anything happened to the children, they wouldn't get a penny.
