NovelEnglishChapter 660 Dangerous Situation "I understand," Andrew exhaled a deep sigh, his voice heavy with resignation. "Mr. Clemens is indeed a man of great cunning, but I fear Miss Roth remains oblivious, she is probably filled only with bitterness towards him."Rylan shook his head, a helpless expression on his face. "That's just the tip of the iceberg. The greater concern is that the three children will harbor the sresentment. He bears this burden alone, unable to utter a single word of his plight."The two men exchanged hushed whispers for a moment before setting off to their respective tasks. They were acutely aware of the futility of their actions, yet they were bound by duty to see them through. They also harbored a grim expectation that at spoint, Mr. Clemens Senior' men would intervene.Indeed, it was Mr. Clemens Senior himself who cto quell Micah's rebellion. For the sake of Sadie's safety and the greater good, Micah was compelled to temporarily capitulate. Reluctant though he was, it was a necessary sacrifice. Their immediate strategy was to buy time, to erase all traces of Sadie until the Clemens family could regain its equilibrium. Then, Micah could employ more subtle, business-oriented tactics to gradually undermine the James Group. The day would cwhen the Clemens Group would utterly vanquish the James Group, eliminating them as a threat. Only then could Micah safely bring Sadie back into the fold. However, that day seemed an eternity away. Both Rylan and Andrew understood the reasoning behind these actions, as did Micah. His anxiety and worry stemmed from his deep-seated concern. Meanwhile, in a Chinese-style villa nestled in the northern suburbs, Silas was leading Mr. Clemens Senior from the children's room towards the study. Mr. Clemens Senior wore a grave expression, lost in contemplation. "We were having such a pleasant twith the children. What happened?" he asked. Silas studied Mr. Clemens Senior ' face carefully Mr. Clemens Senior before responding. "Nathan and Mia are blissfully unaware, but Noah is burdened with heavy thoughts. He's been asking about his mother's illness and the hospital where she's being treated. The boy is remarkably perceptive; keeping the truth from him will be a challenge."Mr. Clemens Senior's face darkened further. "They're still so young, they won't remember," Silas reassured him in a whisper. "They may grieve for a time, but as they grow older, they will forget.""I hope you're right," Mr. Clemens Senior sighed deeply. "My only fear is the pain this might inflict on the children."Silas nodded in understanding. "Regardless of our actions, smeasure of sorrow is inevitable.""Such a tragic fate," Mr. Clemens Senior lamented, his voice heavy with despair. "Sir," a servant interrupted, rushing in with a report. "Mr. Lingston has arrived.""Why would he visit at this late hour?" Mr. Clemens Senior's brow furrowed in confusion. "Have him joinin the study."Silas led Mr. Clemens Senior to the ground-floor study where Nelson was seated on the sofa, sipping coffee. On seeing Mr. Clemens Senior, he quickly rose to his feet, greeting him respectfully, "Sir.""Please, sit," Mr. Clemens Senior gestured. "Nelson, it's quite late. What brings you here?"Nelson hesitated for a moment before cautiously beginning, "There are matters I cannot meddle in, so I dare not overstep. However, I recently recalled something of grave importance and felt compelled to inform you." "Go on," Mr. Clemens Senior urged. "Recently, Micah took Miss Roth to Ronan and Arianna's wedding. It appears Mr. L from the James Group was also present," Nelson revealed. Before he could continue, Mr. Clemens Senior' face paled noticeably. "What?""Of course, it's possible they didn't cross paths," Nelson hurriedly added. "Mr. L has been keeping a low profile and hasn't made any public appearances, perhaps-""Verify this immediately," Mr. Clemens Senior commanded with urgency."Of course," Silas promptly left to carry out the investigation."I only remembered this recently," Nelson admitted in a soft voice. "I believe Mr. L hasn't made any moves since the wedding. He probably didn't get a clear look at Miss Roth; perhaps he only caught a glimpse.""If he did see Sadie, it's all over," Mr. Clemens Senior' face contorted with dread.
