Chapter 1278 Be Braver

"Seriously?" Annika glanced around. Luckily, Rylan and the crew were chilling far enough away to not catch any of this. She leaned in close and whispered, "Mr. James's drama is all internal beef, right? It's got nothing to do with Mr. Clemens, right?"

"Fingers crossed," Sadie muttered, frowning. "We got super lucky with Micah this time, letting us bounce out safely. Andrew also had Jesse's back. No matter what, I owe him big time." "Totally," Annika nodded like a bobblehead.

"We got zilch for evidence, so we can't pin anything on him. Let's drop it," Sadie said, blaming her own paranoia.

"Yeah," Annika felt a knot in her stomach. She really wanted Sadie and Micah to patch things up. Even if they couldn't be besties, at least they could chill without more drama. The last thing they needed was real beef causing more chaos. "Go catch some Z's," Sadie said, rubbing her forehead tiredly. "Once the kids wake up, it's game over for rest."

"I'm good. You need the sleep more," Annika reclined the seat, helped Sadie lie down, and tucked her in with a blanket. She whispered, "Don't overthink it. Just rest."

Sadie shut her eyes but couldn't drift off. The news about Tristan's accident kept replaying in her head. Hours felt like forever before she finally dozed off into a restless sleep, haunted by nightmares. She dreamt of Tristan's yacht going up in flames, exploding at sea, and turning into wreckage.
