Is that not enough?


    How much do you actually like me?


    Sadie felt even more anxious. Oh no, this man has already fallen for me. If I reject him again, will he resent me out of love?


    Micah lost all patience and pounced directly, towering over her like a wild beast.


    "Mr. Clemens, calm down!"


    Sadie''s heart raced, almost bursting from her chest. Despite that, she mustered up the courage to say, "You are so amazing, it''s not that I don''t like you, but I dare not like you because I... I..."


    "If you keep bbering, I''ll throw you out of the car," Micah pinched her chin. "Don''t be so dramatic!"


    With that, he leaned in for a kiss...


    "I already have a boyfriend!"


    Sadie blurted out with her eyes closed.


    Micah''s lips were already on hers, but suddenly froze, motionless, rooted in ce...


    The chill emanating from him was enough to freeze Sadie. Trembling like prey beneath a wild beast, Sadie was terrified.


    After a while, Micah finally backed away and returned to his seat.


    Although the sense of invasion was somewhat distant now, it had not dissipated, and a cold atmosphere pervaded the entire carriage.


    Sadie slowly opened her eyes, timidly looking at him...


    She wanted to exin, to cate him, to find a way out for herself, but her lips moved a few times without daring to speak.


    "A boyfriend?" Micah stared coldly at her, "Since when?"


    "It''s been a while," Sadie''s voice was as soft as a mosquito''s.


    Micah remained silent, picked up the tall wine ss on the table, and downed its contents.


    When he put down the ss, he transformed back into his usual cold demeanor, devoid of any warmth. "You''ve misunderstood."


    "Huh?" Sadie was stunned. He couldn''t have been struck dumb from the blow, could he?


    "First!" Micah wagged his finger, "I took you home for treatment because you were injured by apany employee in front of me, and it would harm thepany''s reputation if it got out! Second, I gave you the ne on a whim. While one billion dors may be a huge fortune for someone like you, it''s just a number to me. Third, I punished the White family mother and daughter, not because I like you, but to vent my anger. Even if it were my own dog being beaten..." "... and I''m hitting back too!" Sadie was dumbfounded, thinking that this exnation actually made sense. So, was it really all a misunderstanding?


    "So, you really assumed too much, and arrogantly so, thinking you''re so remarkable that you would get what you want!" Micah seemed to know exactly what she was thinking and gave her the answer directly.


    "You actually thought I liked you?" Micah''s lips curled into a mocking smirk. "Ha, what a joke. Do I look blind to you?"


    Sadie was left speechless by his retort. She lowered her head, twisting her fingers, wishing she could just disappear into the ground.


    "One final look!" Micah picked up the ruby ne, teasingly waved it in front of her eyes, and before she could react, he opened the car window and threw the ne out. "Ah!" Sadie widened her eyes, shrieking in astonishment. "Are you insane? That ne is worth a billion dors!"


    "Stop the car!" Micahmanded.


    The car halted.


    "Get out!" Micah yelled in anger.


    Sadie didn''t dare say a word and quickly got out of the car, holding up her dress.


    Micah''s anger rose as he saw her. He forcefully kicked her behind.


    "Ah!" Sadie immediately fell down and gasped for air, in pain like a frog on the road.


    Witnessing this scene, Dahlia and Andrew were dumbfounded but didn''t dare ask any further.


    "Drive," Micah heartlessly ordered.


    "Yes!"


    The Rolls-Royce sped away.


    Sadie stood up, dusted off her injured hands, and touched the painful spot, clutching her gown as she hurried back. The ne was not thrown with force... Hopefully, she could find it!
