"Yeah, yeah, we''re globetrotting too," Pa chimed in.


    "And me," Percy grinned, raising his ss.


    "Hubert, Percy, Pa, thanks for everything you''ve done for Sadie. I''ll never forget it!" Joe said, as Sadie''s fiancé, "Here''s to you!" "Cheers!" They clinked sses and downed their wine in one go.


    "We''re having a st today, but don''t overdo it," Hubert warned.


    "Got it," Sadie nodded, heading back to her seat.


    "Sadie, Joe, hold up," Amanda came over with her ss and suggested, "I missed the first round, so let''s toast to Hubert together!"


    "Hubert, my mom says..." Joe quickly tranted.


    "Duchess Louis, you''re too kind," Hubert smiled, raising his ss. "I''ve been imposing on you for a while. Thank you for your hospitality. I should be the one toasting you."


    Joe kept tranting.


    "We''re all family; no need for formalities," Amanda smiled. "Come on, cheers! After this, let''s get back to the magic show!"


    As Amanda spoke, her maid poured wine for Joe and Sadie.


    Sadie was already feeling tipsy, but she couldn''t dodge the toast to Hubert. She had to go along with Amanda''s suggestion, clink sses, and down the wine in one go. After that drink, Sadie felt even more woozy, her vision blurring until she saw two Huberts in front of her.


    "Sadie, you okay?" Joe asked, quickly supporting her.


    "Sadie might''ve had too much; get her some food," Amanda advised, "No more drinks for her; just enjoy the show."


    "Got it, Mom," Joe replied, guiding Sadie back to her seat gently.


    Annika had been tailing Sadie, feeling puzzled. She initially thought Amanda was trying to get Sadie drunk to create an opportunity for Joe.


    But now it seemed Amanda had no such n.


    The magic show was getting more exciting, and the kids were loving it.


    Sadie got back to her seat, drank some water, and started to sober up.


    Joe, on the other hand, had drunk a bit more and was slightly tipsy, giving Sadie a more suggestive look.


    Other than that, everything seemed normal, nothing out of the ordinary.


    Annika suspected she was overthinking but stayed on guard.


    At this moment, Hubert left early, and Amanda got up to see him off.


    Sadie and Joe quickly went over to see Hubert off too.


    Hubert waved with a smile and said, "I''m getting old and can''t stay upte. Go ahead, don''t mind me. I''ll go rest."


    "That won''t do. You''re our guest," Amanda said after hearing the trantion, quickly instructing Joe and Sadie, "Joe, Sadie, go see Hubert off."


    "Yes, Mom," Joe responded, hurrying to support Hubert, with Sadie trailing close behind, also wanting to rest.


    Annika and two other female bodyguards were about to follow when a maid suddenly screamed, "Oh no, Ms. Mia James, be careful!"


    Annika instinctively turned to look. Mia, who had been watching the show in front of the stage, was suddenly invited onto the stage by the magician. The James family''s bodyguards wanted to stop her, but Mia was thrilled and climbed onto the stage herself.


    Annika hurried to handle Mia''s situation and told the two female bodyguards, "Go follow Ms. James."


    "Yes," the two female bodyguards immediately caught up with Sadie.


    Sadie and Joe escorted Hubert to the small building in the back, instructed Pa and Percy to take good care of him, and then headed back. Sadie felt exhausted and wanted to rest. Meanwhile, Joe seemed restless and uneasy.
