Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 83 Complex Brilliance

"What's going on?" Leah protested.

"No need to ask. It goes without saying," Kathleen furrowed her brows, "Do we really have to go and explain this ourselves? Our impression with Mr. Clemens will be greatly compromised." "What should we do then?" Leah asked, confused.

"Don't worry, I have a plan."

Kathleen turned her head to the two men beside her, her husband and son-in-law, completely absorbed in Sadie, disregarding them both.

Kathleen felt infuriated, but she knew that hasty actions would lead to chaos.

"Let's focus on the auction for now and take action accordingly later."

Kathleen stared at Sadie's departing figure, a sinister smile forming at the corner of her mouth.

"When did Sadie become so close with Mr. Clemens?" Felipe asked Ronan again.

"She works at VIC Group and is Mr. Clemens' employee," Ronan finally shifted his gaze away, a hint of unease in his demeanor, "I'll go to the restroom." He stood up and fastened his suit button, warning Leah with a stern face, "Don't cause trouble!"

Then he left the table...

"Who is his real wife, after all?" Leah's face turned pale with anger.

"Calm down," Kathleen held her hand to console her.

Sadie sat restlessly, worried that the White family mother and daughter were about to cause trouble again.

Micah lightly squeezed her hand, a subtle gesture that inexplicably put her heart at ease.

She turned to look at him, his intense focus on the stage, his face devoid of expression, but the warmth of his palm gave her a sense of reassurance. Her heart trembled like a plucked string, gently vibrating...

The waiters started serving the meals. Tonight's charity dinner had a unique format, where guests could participate in the auction while dining. Currently, the seating arrangement was organized by families, with each family assigned to a table.

Sadie looked at the French cuisine presented by the waiters and couldn't help but lick her lips. She was really hungry as the small cake she had in the car earlier was hardly enough. Micah took the red wine passed by the waiter and raised his glass to Sadie.

Sadie clinked her glass against his and took a sip of wine, casually remarking, "Such a grand gesture to treat the guests to such a fine feast!"

"Hmm?" Micah arched an eyebrow, "Do you know what wine this is?"

"How could I not know?" Sadie continued to cut her steak without even looking up, "It's Aegean from a Bordeaux winery. There are only 78 barrels in the world. It seems quite extravagant to serve it at a banquet, don't you think?" "I didn't know you were knowledgeable about wine." Micah curved his lips, "I bought all the barrels of Aegean. Outsiders shouldn't have tasted it. How did you know?"

"Eight years ago, I went to the winery with my father and tasted it in the cellar. Originally, my father wanted to wait until it matured."

"When I had the opportunity to buy a few barrels, unfortunately they were all sold out before I could make my move. I didn't expect it was you." Sadie recalled, feeling a bit emotional. When her father was alive, he had taken her all over the world and taught her many things...

"After tasting it once, you remember it well. Not bad," Micah looked at her and lifted his eyes. "Besides wine, what else do you know?"

"Jewelry, oil paintings, piano, fashion design..." Sadie counted on her fingers, "I know a little about all of them."

"These things are used by young ladies from affluent families to decorate themselves," Micah said disdainfully. "If you excel in them, they can also be useful in the workplace. But if you only have a superficial understanding, it's just a hollow reputation with no substance!"

"Haha, you got that right," Sadie laughed. "I used to say the same thing, but my dad said he only wanted me to be happy. As for the family business, he hoped I would find a good man in the future and let my husband take care of it..."

Perhaps it was because of the wine, Sadie kept thinking about her father tonight...

"You have a great relationship with your father," Micah looked at Sadie, somewhat envious. "Your foolishness is the result of your father pampering you!"

"That's hitting the nail on the head!" Sadie chuckled in embarrassment. "Exactly because of my father's pampering, I haven't experienced many hardships in life. I never thought the biggest storm would actually be..."

Talking about these things, Sadie's expression became dim. If she had been a bit more smart four years ago, she wouldn't have been led around by Leah and ended up making a big mistake...

If she had cared more about her father and understood the company's situation earlier, perhaps she could have prevented the tragedy...

"Business matters are always unpredictable."

Micah had heard about some of her family affairs, probably about her father's bankruptcy and suicide four years ago, leaving her with nothing overnight.

"I still don't understand. My dad's company was running well, so why did it suddenly encounter problems?" Sadie couldn't figure it out. "And my dad was always optimistic and strong, even if the company faced issues, he wouldn't resort to extremes. I always feel like there's something fishy about this..."

"What was your father's company called?" Micah shook his glass.

"The Roth Group," Sadie replied.

Micah's hand suddenly froze, complex emotions flickered in his eyes, but quickly returned to calmness. He lowered his gaze and elegantly tasted the wine...
