Chapter 1544 Make a Big Move 2
The reporters had been cleared out, leaving the large conference room with only Sadie, Micah, and the top executives and board members of the Clemens Group.
The already tense atmosphere became even more charged.
Led by Declan, the group now viewed Sadie as an enemy, cautiously protecting Micah.
Declan, visibly agitated, shouted, "Sadie, if you can't explain yourself today, don't even think about leaving this room."
"Explain what?" Sadie sat calmly in her chair, looking at everyone with a composed demeanor.
"The things the reporters were saying just now," Declan pressed aggressively. "Did you poison Mr. Clemens? Are you trying to control him?"
"You believe that nonsense?" Sadie sneered. "Declan, have you lost your mind?"
"You!"
"The James family is known for their expertise in poisons," an older board member spoke up slowly. "It's said that Tristan poisoned his own family, killing them all in one night to seize power."
"Exactly," Declan quickly agreed. "I mean, Mr. Clemens was young and healthy. How could he suddenly fall ill? There must be something wrong."
"Mr. Clemens had eighteen bodyguards, with security tighter than a drum. If he was poisoned, it had to be someone close to him."
"And that close person must be you!"
"Thinking back, the rumors must be true. After the James Group fell, Tristan was looking for a way to rise again and set his sights on the Clemens Group."
"He took advantage of your past relationship with Mr. Clemens, had you deceive Mr. Clemens, poison him, and then commit murder and arson."
"After that, he planned to take control of the Clemens Group under the guise of Mrs. Clemens."
"Yes, that's definitely it."
"Sadie, how could you be so heartless!"
The board members took turns accusing Sadie, their arguments sounding logical and convincing, as if they were stating facts.
For a moment, even those who had supported Sadie began to waver.
Even Ryan looked shocked and asked anxiously, "Sadie, what's going on?"
Sadie didn't rush to explain. She just looked coldly at "Micah," waiting for his reaction.
"Mr. Clemens, don't be afraid."
Declan bravely stood in front of "Micah" like a great protector, pointing aggressively at Sadie.
"Sadie, now that Mr. Clemens is back, we won't listen to you anymore. Hand over all the shares and assets, and maybe we'll let you go. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Sadie raised an eyebrow coldly.
"Naturally, we'll call the police," Declan threatened, seeing that Sadie wasn't intimidated. "You've done so many heinous things, you can spend the rest of your life in prison."
"The truth hasn't been uncovered yet. The police haven't said I'm guilty. How can you be so sure I did anything?"
Sadie remained unhurried, even curling her lips into a cold smile. "Right, honey?"
"Micah" glanced at her in panic, then quickly looked away, not daring to speak.
"Enough talk," another board member stepped forward. "Whether she did it or not, a test will tell. Let's call the hospital to have Mr. Clemens' blood tested for poison. If it's snake venom, it must be related to the James family."
"Agreed."
"Call Dahlia. She's our Clemens family doctor. There won't be any issues."
"Yes, call her."
Several board members agreed with the decision.
Sadie didn't say a word.
She simply took out her phone and dialed Dahlia's number. "Dahlia, come to the office. Micah needs a blood test."
"Yes."
