Chapter 1555 Plot within a Plot 2
Sadie narrowed her eyes, shooting a frosty glare at Alan before glancing at the clock on the wall.
2:59 PM.
Just one minute to go.
Even with the CEO's office being soundproof, Sadie felt like she could hear footsteps approaching.
The results were almost in.
They were coming!
"Alan," Sadie leaned in, her voice dropping to a whisper, "if you come clean now and apologize to Micah, maybe we can save your skin."
Alan's forehead was slick with sweat, his hands twisting together nervously. He was clearly torn and struggling.
"I know Nicholas put you up to this. You wouldn't have done it on your own."
Sadie kept pushing, "Think about it. Why would Nicholas help you? He just wants control of the Clemens Group. Once he's got you, you'll be nothing but a puppet. You won't get a thing."
"I never wanted anything," Alan finally muttered, his face dark with resentment. "I just hate him for killing my mother, his own flesh and blood."
"It wasn't him who killed your mother, it was your grandfather," Sadie said coldly. "Raymond pulled the trigger, not Micah. And let's be real, your mother was evil. She had it coming."
"Shut up!" Alan roared, furious.
The bodyguards jumped, all eyes on them.
Earlier, the two had been speaking in low voices, so the bodyguards hadn't heard their conversation. But now, this loud shout had drawn everyone's attention.
Alan glared at Sadie, teeth clenched, eyes blazing with hatred. He looked like he wanted to strangle her right then and there.
Despite Nina's many sins, Alan always saw her as a good mother.
She cared for him, taught him, did everything for him.
He wouldn't let anyone insult her.
"Even if I don't say it, it's still the truth," Sadie pressed on. "How have the last three days been for you? Painful, unbearable, right? What I went through was a thousand times worse!"
"Your mother kidnapped me to take over the Clemens Group, threatened Micah, injected me with poison, and had Raymond send me away at the wedding. And she didn't stop there. She got Amelia to chase me to H Country."
"She made Amelia humiliate me, caused Brenda's tragic death, all of it was your mother's doing. She even tried to kidnap my children. Someone that vicious, doesn't she deserve to die?"
"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" Alan snapped.
He lunged at Sadie, grabbing her by the neck, roaring, "I won't let you talk about her like that, I won't!"
"Mr. Clemens, calm down."
The bodyguards were about to step in when the office door swung open. Silas, Ryan, and the others froze at the scene.
"What's going on?"
At that moment, "Micah" looked like a wild animal, pinning Sadie to the couch, his face twisted with rage.
Sadie was still clutching his hands, shouting defiantly.
"Alan, you're pretending to be Micah to avenge your mother, but she deserved to die. She was evil. I regret not shooting her more back then."
"You..."
"Micah" was red with anger, about to speak.
Suddenly, his phone rang, cutting him off.
"Micah" instinctively glanced at the caller ID, then quickly grabbed the phone and walked to the lounge to answer it.
