Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!

Chapter 184: The Past



"I think it's better if we just stay friends," Sadie Roth quickly dismissed his hopes.

"Why?" Ronan Potter frowned deeply. "Is it because of Mr. Clemens?"

"It's nothing to do with anyone else," said Sadie, with a resigned smile. "Some mistakes are just that-mistakes. We need to look forward, not back." Ronan clenched his fists tightly, falling into silence.

"Call me when you get the necklace," Sadie Roth said as she got up to leave. "I'm heading out, take care!"

"You really have no doubts about how your father died?" Ronan Potter suddenly called out in a hushed tone.

Sadie Roth halted in her tracks and sat back down. "Ronan, what do you know?"

"You should ask Micah Clemens," Ronan replied gravely.

"What do you mean?" Sadie pressed, her voice rising with urgency. "Are you saying my dad's death is connected to Micah Clemens?"

Ronan's gaze was filled with indescribable complexity. After a moment of silence, he changed the subject. "Forget it. You've found peace. I don't want you getting into danger."

"It really has something to do with him?" Sadie's eyes widened in shock. "No, that can't be..."

"Do you trust him that much?" Ronan's brow furrowed.

"Don't just give me half the story," demanded Sadie. "What do you know? Tell me."

Reluctantly, Ronan leaned in closer, lowering his voice. "It was a hostile takeover of the Roth Group by the Clemens family that led to its sudden bankruptcy in just three days... That's what pushed your father over the edge." "What?"

Sadie's mind exploded with the revelation.

She remembered her first day interviewing at VIC Group, encountering Darian at the door, soaked in gasoline, ready to confront Micah Clemens as if welcoming death.

Darian had confessed that crossing Micah Clemens led to his overnight downfall...

At that moment, she had thought of her father. Now, the chilling possibility dawned on her - had her father suffered the same fate as Darian?

"I didn't want to tell you this. After all, it's water under the bridge; nothing can be changed. And knowing the truth could be dangerous. But seeing you get closer to Micah Clemens, I felt I had to warn you..."

"I have to find out the truth," declared Sadie, her fists clenched with determination. "If my father was murdered, I'll seek justice for him."

"Justice?" Ronan quickly took Sadie's hand. "Sadie, the Clemens family is more powerful than you can imagine. Don't harbor thoughts of revenge. Just stay away from Micah Clemens."

"I can handle myself," Sadie pulled her hand away, meeting Ronan's eyes with resolve. "Ronan, tell me, do Felipe and Kathleen have anything to do with my father's death?"

"...wait, why would you even ask that?" Ronan Potter froze in confusion.

"I found out that even though my dad's company went under, his personal assets weren't seized. But back then, all the shareholders claimed his personal wealth had been liquidated, and the Felipe family was nowhere to be found..." Sadie Roth fixed her gaze deeply on Ronan Potter. "You know about all this, right?"

"I really don't have a clue about that." Ronan Potter said with an open face. "I don't know much about the Whites' business."

"Then can you tell me why you married Leah in the first place?" Sadie Roth suspected that this was all part of the White family's scheming.

"I..." There was a moment of hesitation before Ronan Potter looked down, saying, "The news about the mishap at the Night Club you were involved in had just broke out; I was feeling awful and got really hammered - made a stupid mistake in a drunken stupor..."

He paused, then let out a long sigh, "I intended to settle things with money, but a month later Leah White turned up pregnant. She and her mother came straight to my folks. Your family scandal was causing a media frenzy, and my family got dragged through the mud too. My parents were livid. They wanted me to marry quickly to squash the rumors, so I just..."
