Chapter 260 Before or After Me

The Aston Martin sped away into the night.

Micah drove with one hand, the other resting on the window frame, a cigarette between his fingers. Sadie sat silently, her emotions in turmoil.

Being with a man like Micah was always intense and unpredictable. She felt as though no matter what she did or thought, he could see right through her. She was transparent to him and had no private thoughts to keep unless he lacked interest, in which case she could keep her secrets.

As such, she fiercely guarded the mystery surrounding her father's legacy.

Fortunately, Micah showed no interest in it, so there was no need for him to pry.

Lost in thought, Sadie suddenly heard her phone ring and saw that it was Brenda calling.

Sadie glanced at Micah and answered, "Brenda."

"Miss, it's so late. Why aren't you home yet? Is everything okay?" Brenda asked with concern.

"I'm fine. I'll be back later. You go to bed—"
