Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 995 The Essential Difference

"It's not your fault," Sadie gradually calmed down and analyzed rationally. "You're just doing your job. There's nothing wrong with that. Tristan is also right in doing this. Nick's crimes are heinous, and she deserves to be punished properly. She's hiding in the shadows now, and we can't find her. This is the only way to force her out."

"But it gets Mr. Clemens implicated." Annika frowned. "Now all the public opinion is pointing at the Clemens Group. Those people who aren't in the upper business circles don't know that Nick has long been separated from the Clemens family. The general public still considers her part of the Clemens family, and everything she does will be linked to the Clemens Group. Nick is probably happy now. She definitely hopes for this kind of public opinion effect. Because she knows that Mr. Clemens will definitely find a way to solve the problem; otherwise, she will drag down the entire Clemens family. So, the one who suffers the most from this whole thing is Mr. Clemens." Hearing these words, Sadie fell silent. She knew this reasoning, which was why she called Tristan. She originally wanted to persuade Tristan to stop, but before she could speak, Tristan scolded her. And she had no words to counter.

After all, Tristan was standing up for her, and besides, it was Raymond who was at fault first.

She didn't mind, but that didn't mean Tristan wouldn't.

"The rift between you and Mr. Clemens will deepen." Annika looked at Sadie with concern and asked softly. "You must be feeling very sad, right?"

"What did Andrew say to you?" Sadie glared at her.

"Nothing." Annika hurriedly lowered her head.

"You two went to catch Amelia together, spent a day and a night, and experienced life and death together. It's quite normal to go from being adversaries to having a subtle, intimate relationship." Sadie knew everything and laughed at herself. "Before avenging my great hatred, my two important subordinates have already fallen for people from the Clemens family."

"Ms. James, I haven't," Annika quickly stated. "If there's any conflict between the Clemens family and you, I will stand by your side without hesitation and will never waver because of personal feelings."

"I know." Sadie looked at her gently. "I've never doubted your loyalty as you are Tristan's people."

"That's good. You scared me." Annika patted her chest.

"I'm really curious about what did Andrew say to you," Sadie asked curiously.

"Andrew said you and Mr. Clemens were very much in love before, but Raymond wouldn't accept you," Annika said softly. "Mainly because you are from the James family, and your mother indirectly caused the death of Mr. Clemens' parents, so Raymond firmly opposed the marriage."

"I know. I remember that." Sadie nodded. "Raymond seemed to find out this secret on the wedding day; it was Nick who told him."

"To be honest, I don't resent Raymond that much because I never considered him family. In my eyes, he's just an outsider, and I don't care about the opinions of outsiders. But Micah is different. He told me we were once very much in love. We had three children, and we walked into the church together and put wedding rings on each other. We should be the closest people to each other, but why did he betray me? Why did he abandon me? I can't understand. If it were me, I would be unwavering with the person I love, no matter how much Tristan opposed. I would never choose to be a coward, and I would never find a substitute to replace my lover. That's the difference between him and me!"

"Andrew told me that at the time, you were suffering from the effects of poison, and Mr. Micah Clemens temporarily compromised with Mr. Raymond Clemens to get the antidote."

"They're all excuses." Sadie didn't want to listen anymore. "Alright, pack up. We're going to the hospital to see Arya."

"Yes."
