Chapter 176 Hanging by a Thread

Since their birth, the kids had never been apart from her, and now, they might have to spend a few days separated... Sadie Roth was resolved to uncover the culprit behind the scenes; she wouldn't let anyone hurt her children. Thinking it over, her list of enemies was short: Samuel Brown, Finley, and the White family mother and daughter... Samuel Brown and Finley were behind bars, so they couldn't be orchestrating these events.

And as devious as the White family mother and daughter could be, they wouldn't dare act under Micah Clemens' name.

So who could it be?

"Micah Clemens..." Rylan hurried after him, confusion in his voice. "What's going on?"

"Cover for me in Country X. I need to head back," Micah uttered without looking back, breaking into a sprint after a few quick steps.

Internally, he berated himself for such a critical oversight. How could he have ignored the imminent threat from that madwoman who disrupted his press event? She was almost certainly targeting Sadie. And how on earth had he missed her calls?
