"Exactly," Arya retorted with a hint of indignation, "Mr. Clemens, the very man who dared to provoke us at the Noble Summit estate, and who had the audacity to seize Louis at the airport, is now causing a ruckus once again." "The man imed to represent Mr. Clemens Sr. of their family, not Mr. Clemens himself," someone rified.


    "Mr. Clemens Sr.?" The mere mention of the name filled Sadie''s heart with an inexplicable loathing. "He expects a personal apology from me, does he? Very well, I''ll oblige himter."


    "What?" Both Annika and Arya were taken aback by Sadie''s unexpected decision.


    Without a backward nce, Sadie ascended the staircase, issuing amand as she went. "Release Coco and wait for me to finish my shower. I''ll be taking him with me."


    Annika responded with an excited grin. "Miss James''s true nature is resurfacing."


    "The Clemens family won''t know what hit them!" Arya dered triumphantly. "I''ll go and free Coco!"


    "Miss James, your bathwater is ready. Shall I prepare breakfast as well?" the maid inquired, trailing behind Sadie.


    "Bring it to my room," Sadie instructed as she entered her quarters, casually discarding her coat on the floor. "As you wish," the maid replied.


    Sadie indulged in a hot, rxing shower, washing and quickly drying her hair. She forwent her usual makeup routine, opting instead for a stark outfit. She then departed with Coco, who had been sedated and confined since his uncontrolled episode at the Noble Summit estate.


    Sadie had initially nned to keep Coco caged for a few more days. However, upon learning of Mr. Clemens Senior''s request, she decided to confront him with Coco by her side. She was curious to see just how far Mr. Clemens Senior would go in meddling with other people''s affairs, including their pets.


    Meanwhile, Micah returned home in his Pagani, greeted promptly by Andrew and Rn.


    "Mr. Clemens, whose car is this?" Rn inquired, his curiosity piqued.


    "A woman''s," Micah responded nonchntly, stepping out of the car. He directed Andrew, "Park it in the underground garage, and don''t let anyone use it."


    "Understood," Andrewplied immediately.


    "Mr. Clemens," Rn approached and whispered, "Yesterday, I was ordered to visit the James family with a polite reminder. However, it seemed thedy of the house was not home and didn''t respond. Later, Mr. Clemens Sr. sent his people..." "Hmm?" Micah interjected, "Didn''t I instruct you to keep a close watch on them?"


    "I did, but I was unable to deter Ss''s men," Rn exined, "As I reported to youst night, you hadn''t returned."


    "What did Ss''s men do?" Micah inquired, his voice dropping to a low murmur.


    Rn nced around before leaning in to confide in Micah. "They demanded that the James family dispose of the eagle promptly, and also... they insisted that someone from the James family personally deliver an apology!" Micah''s brow furrowed. This was a predicament. If Sadie were toe, wouldn''t she be walking straight into a trap?


    Yet, given her haughty demeanor, it was unlikely she would deign to apologize in person. Furthermore, at this early hour, she was probably luxuriating in a shower, indulging in skincare, enjoying breakfast, and resting after her return home... With this thought, Micah''s worry subsided, and he quickened his pace towards his room.


    "Good morning, Daddy!"


    "Morning, Daddy!"


    "Daddy, why are you dressed like that?"


    Suddenly, three children emerged from their rooms, greeting Micah before scrutinizing his attire from head to toe.


    "I... I attended a ballst night," Micah hastily fabricated an excuse.


    In reality, he had already removed his mask and coat, appearing rtively normalpared to the previous night. However, his unusual T-shirt, pants, boots, and hairstyle were not his typical attire.


    "No wonder you didn''te back all night," Mia pouted unhappily. "That''s not good. Even though you''re a man, you should take care of yourself. Staying upte is bad for your health!"
