NovelsFreeChapter 224 The Final Secret "Oh!" Sadie murmured timidly, then cautiously asked, "So, about that man... You've looked into him as well?" "Do I need to?" Micah snapped, "Isn't it obvious? You made headlines because of your fling with Ronan, and the dim-witted yet venomous White mother-daughter duo thought you were the woman involved, so they're using your past escapades to blackmail you." "If you know everything already, what's left forto confess?" Sadie marveled at Micah's brilliance; nothing seemed to escape his gaze.
Now she worried more than ever-the truth about her children would probably not stay hidden much longer... "Your past is hardly a secret," Micah said with contempt, "Plus, it's been blasted all over the news. So, why are you still letting the Whites threaten you? There must be another secret..." A shiver ran down Sadie's spine. It was as if her fears were materializing before her.
"Your eyes are darting around again. Are you plotting another lie?" Micah's laugh was cold, "I'm tired of prying. I'll just go directly to someone in the know." "It's not that " "Mr. Clemens." At that moment, Andrew's voice cfrom outside.

"Sir, the tasks you assigned are completed." Andrew reported item by item, "Subjects are detained and ready for your interrogation." "All news related to Miss Roth has been scrubbed clean from the internet, and you can't find a trace of it in any of the major media outlets anymore. This cyberstorm has been fully contained!" "I've spoken to all our media contacts; from now on, no one is allowed to leak or report anything related to Miss Roth." "Also, the Potter family project? It's been shut down." The car fell silent after the final report was issued.
Micah's gaze was fixed on Sadie, but his orders were for Andrew. "Take the Whites to the safe room; I want to interrogate them myself." "Understood." The car started up and slowly pulled away.
Sadie took out her phone to check the news, and as expected, all the information had been scrubbed clean; there wasn't a trace to be found.
On Twitter, the trending topics had moved on to celebrity gossip, usurping her own. She tried to search her nand found nothing. Typing a few more keywords yielded no results either. She finally breathed a sigh of relief...
But then she tensed up again, recalling Andrew's words. She asked urgently, "Mr. Clemens, if the issue's been dealt with, there's no need for further interrogation, right? Also, what does Mr. Potter have to do with this? Why halt his project?" "What's the matter?" Micah frowned disapprovingly. "Still hung up on your old flame?" "No, it's not that..." "You'd best keep quiet," Micah warned, pinching her chin coldly. "Any more pleas for him, and it'll only make things worse." Sadie didn't dare speak again. She saw the murderous intent in his eyes and had learned lessons from past incidents.
Just as Ronan's lingering feelings made the Whites target her for revenge, her pity and pleas for him only made Micah more ruthless.
So, from now on, it was best not to mention Ronan at all.

But then the thought struck her: What if Micah's interrogation of Kathleen revealed something about the children? Sadie was deeply worried.
Just then, her phone rang. It was Leah. She glanced at Micah and promptly declined.
Leah quickly followed up with a text. "Sadie, get Mr. Clemens to release my parents now, or I'll spill the beans about you."
Seeing the message, Sadie felt uneasy. Although the media hadm been silenced by Micah's pressure, Lean Dedia could still go public by personal means. In this era of advanced communication, no one could control another individual's actions.
