"How''s your hand? Is it bad?" Raymond asked bluntly.


    "You''re quite blunt," Micah sneered. "I was wondering why Reba, who''s usually so innocent, suddenly decided toe over and make breakfast for the kids. Turns out you sent her."


    That day, Micah told Sadie that he had asked Reba toe over. In reality, Reba had brought along a few servants, expressing concern that the kids weren''t eating well and wanting to take care of them. Then, Noah just decided to keep Reba there.


    Micah had even lectured Noah, saying he should have asked Sadie first since it was her home. But Noah insisted it was his home too, and he preferred Reba''s cooking, so Micah didn''t object.


    Hister exnation was purely to avoid upsetting Sadie, taking all the responsibility on himself.


    If Sadie got angry, she would direct it at him. She wouldn''t suspect Reba, nor me Noah or Annika.


    "I was just worried about the kids," Raymond said coldly. "As for you, you bastard, I don''t care at all."


    "Then you should get some rest." Micah prepared to hang up.


    "What are you doing? You haven''t answered my question yet," Raymond snapped.


    "I''m arguing with you on the phone; how serious could it be?" Micah shot back. "But you, staying up sote, what if you get sick again? Don''t you want to see your grandkids?" "You''re still a smooth talker. Seems like you''re not seriously hurt," Raymond grumbled. "Fine. I won''t bother you anymore."


    Just as Micah was about to say "Goodnight," he suddenly heard a "thud" from the other end of the line. He immediately asked, "What was that?"


    The phone seemed to go silent as if someone had covered the receiver.


    After a few seconds, Raymond said, "It''s nothing. I dropped my cup. I''ll hang up now."


    Then, Raymond hung up the phone.


    Holding his phone, Micah felt something was off. He called Ss, "Is Raymond okay?"


    "He''s fine. He''s just old, his hands trembled, and he dropped something," Ssughed. "I''m right here with him. Don''t worry, Mr. Micah Clemens."


    "Okay." Micah felt relieved, hung up the phone, and opened hisputer to start working.


    Actually, he had been tiredtely. He was busy at thepany during the day, spent time with the kids in the evening, and continued working when he got back to his room.


    He just always pretended to be rxed on the outside.


    After Nick''s scandal broke online, it had a negative impact on the Clemens Group. The Clemens Group''s stock had plummeted in just half a month.


    Micah spent a fortune to suppress the news, but the incident had already spread. Now, he had to give the public and the authorities an exnation to protect VIC Group and stabilize the Clemens Group. Therefore, he made an important decision that would be implemented tomorrow.


    He didn''t want any issues to arise at this critical juncture.


    After some consideration, Micah still felt uneasy. To make double sure, he called Andrew.


    "Take a few smart people and secretly infiltrate Raymond'' ce to check things out. If there''s anything suspicious, notify me immediately."


    "Yes." Andrewplied immediately.


    After hanging up, Micah called Rn and instructed, "Go check if there''s any trouble regarding Amelia. Also, take a few people to patrol the area. If you find anyone suspicious, capture them immediately." "Yes." With everything arranged, Micah felt at ease and continued working.


    He hoped to resolve these issues quickly. At least before Tristan could react, he needed to regain his strength and then find time to have a good talk with Tristan.
