"Me?" Sadie wanted to exin, but Mr. Wood had already started rolling his eyes and foaming at the mouth. She couldn''t worry about that right now and rushed to his rescue.
"What are you doing? Get lost!"
Nina tried to push Sadie away, but Chloe stopped her.
Sadie pulled Mr. Wood''s hand away and held onto his jaw, extending her slender fingers into his mouth attempting to retrieve the chip...
"Hey, what are you doing?" A few board members were frightened. "Quickly, stop her!"
Several bodyguards who had entered the conference due to all themotion looked to Micah for his instructions.
"Let her try," Micah stared at Sadie.
"Hold on, hold on..."
Sadie''s fingers had already touched the chip, but she didn''t dare to pull too hard, afraid of hurting Mr. Wood''s throat.
In his panic, Mr. Wood kept struggling and shoving, identally hitting Sadie''s injured shoulder.
Sadie bit her lip, enduring the pain, and continued to retrieve the chip...
Unfortunately, Mr. Wood''s swinging arm hit Sadie''s injured neck. The sudden jolt caused Sadie to identally pushed the chip further down... "Ugh..."
Mr. Wood gagged for a moment, then quickly calmed down. Breathing heavily, no longer in as much difort as before, his eyes andplexion gradually returned to normal. "Mr. Wood, are you alright?" two board members rushed over, relieved.
"Much better," Mr. Wood answered weakly between breaths. "Just now... something... got stuck in my throat, it almost choked me to death!"
"Fortunately... this little girl... saved me!" He pointed at Sadie. "Thank you!"
"No need to thank me, you''re wee..." Sadie forced a smile. "Mr. Wood, how do you feel now? Is there any other difort?"
She knew that because he had swallowed the chip, the same fate as Coco awaited him...
Micah stared intensely at Sadie, his gaze was filled withplex emotions he couldn''t express.
"No, I''m much better now." Mr. Wood shook his head.
"What could be in the coffee? What exactly was it?" one board member questioned.
"Everyone, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and provide an exnation!" Micah announced. "Andrew, ce thepany under lockdown immediately and retrieve the surveince footage. I want an answer within an hour!" "Yes Sir!" With that, Andrew immediately went to carry out the order.
Sadie inwardly eximed, "Oh no, there were surveince cameras. Did they capture me putting the chip in the coffee?"
At this moment, Dahlia arrived with medical personnel, examining Mr. Wood under Micah''s instructions, and promptly reported,
"Mr. Wood must have swallowed a sharp object while drinking coffee, it got stuck in his throat and then he swallowed it down. We won''t know what it is until we take an X-ray."
"Take Mr. Wood to the hospital for an X-ray and proper treatment," Micah ordered.
"Right away, Sir." Dahlia nodded.
Thepany medics brought a wheelchair and helped Mr. Wood into it.
The two old directors were deeply concerned and wanted to go along.
Before leaving the conference room, Mr. Wood turned back to Micah and said, "Mr. Clemens, this youngdy..."
He pointed at Sadie, "is my savior. Please don''t be harsh with her."
"Don''t worry about her!" Micah smirked.
Sadie shivered, finding his smile quite terrifying.
An hourter, Andrew had retrieved and studied the surveince footage and announced to everyone, "We have found out that Nina made the coffee, and afterward, because she was worried that Mr. Clemens would get mad and implicate her, she had Sadie bring it in..."
"What was in the coffee?" the directors asked.
"Well..."
"It was the missing X chip!" Micah dered, holding up the X-ray of Mr. Wood''s intestines that Dahlia had brought. "I did say the X chip woulde back today!" "Ah!" The whole room was left dumbfounded.
At the hospital, a nurse was trying to coax Mr. Wood to take axative saying, "Mr. Wood, listen to me. Once you drink this, you''ll be able to pass the chip."
"We need you to drink it. The entire VIC Group is waiting for your excrement!" Mr. Wood''s lips twitched, feeling miserable and speechless.
