Chapter 1067 Someone Came Last Night

Joe took a punch from Sadie, and his eye was already swelling up. He covered it and slunk out of the room, feeling so wronged he almost cried. "Whoa," Annika said, stunned to see him like that. "Mr. Louis, what happened to you?"

"I didn't do it," Joe pouted, then headed back to his room, feeling all kinds of aggrieved.

Annika, still confused, knocked on Sadie's door and walked in. "Ms. James, you're up early. How was last night?"

"Pretty good. First time in two years I slept well during a thunderstorm," Sadie said, coming out of the bathroom and heading to her walk-in closet to pick out clothes. "That's good," Annika sighed in relief, then asked curiously, "I saw Joe leave just now, looking upset and covering his eye. What happened?"

"He got beaten up," Sadie said, her anger flaring up again. "I thought he was a decent guy, but he tried to take advantage of someone vulnerable."

"Uh, what exactly happened?" Annika's curiosity was piqued.

"Don't be so nosy," Sadie shot her a look. "Get ready. We're leaving at eight sharp. I need to wrap up the Sapphire Depths project today."

"Yes, ma'am," Annika quickly nodded and got to work.
