Chapter 276 Never Amounted to Much

Sadie's father had once told her that marriages among the business elites were seldom matters of the heart. They were alliances of commerce or power, all in the service of familial interest.

Surely, Micah wouldn't be an exception.

The thought of Micah eventually marrying another woman set a fire ablaze in Sadie's heart. Unconsciously, she gripped her dinosaur pillow tight, nearly tearing a hole in it.

In her anger, she cursed inwardly, 'Damn men! Since he's engaged, why the hell did he come flirting with me?' She resolved to keep her distance from now on. If he sought her out, she wouldn't give him the time of day. Glancing at her phone, she decided if Micah called, she'd either ignore it or hang up-let him stew in that!

The first couple of days, Sadie relished the peace and wished the devil would stay away forever, sparing everyone the constant dread.
