Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!

"It's not about saving Nick; it's about saving Raymond," Andrew muttered angrily. "Nick has lost it. She's taken Silas and Raymond hostage. Who knows what she'll do next? Ms. James has always had it out for Raymond. She might risk his safety

to catch Nick. Don't you get it?"

"I get it. I was being stupid," Rodolfo said, panicking. "Raymond is old; he can't handle this. If they start fighting, it'll be bad."

"Then why aren't you driving faster?" Andrew snapped.

"The pedal's already to the floor," Rodolfo shot back.

Micah frowned, staring ahead with a serious look.

The rain was pouring down harder. Tonight was shaping up to be anything but ordinary.

Nick was acting crazy, just wanting to escape. She thought if she got on the private jet, she'd be safe.

But she noticed a silver light behind them. The driver said nervously, "Someone's following us."

"Drive faster!" Nick urged.

"Let it go. You can't get away," Raymond said quietly.

"If you hadn't listened to Micah, we'd be at the airport by now," Nick yelled. "Micah was just stalling so Sadie could catch me. He did it on purpose!"

"Why don't you ever look at yourself?" Raymond asked, pained. "If you hadn't messed up, who could hurt you? Even if your business fails, you could live well off the Clemens Group dividends. Why did you have to make so many problems?"

"I refuse to accept it. I've always been better than Herbert. I studied better, did business better. But you never gave me a chance. After Herbert died, you gave the opportunity to Micah instead of me." Nick's anger and resentment grew. "I just wanted to prove I could do better, that I was more suited to run the Clemens Group. But I kept losing, racking up more debt. I owe so much to major financial groups in Auroria, I can't even count it. If I don't take back the company, I'll die a horrible death, and even Alan will be dragged down! I have no way back. I must take back the Clemens Group."

"No wonder," Raymond said, almost furious. "You dared to touch those people's money? That's a bottomless pit. They trap people like you, who have status but no ability. Once they pull you in, you're done."

"Is it worth making more mistakes to fix one?" Silas said weakly.

"At least Micah wouldn't dare do anything to me," Nick admitted. "But those financial groups, they would really kill me."

"You're already a fugitive. Isn't it the same?" Raymond was agitated, coughing uncontrollably.

"Who knew Sadie was from the James family?" Nick was furious, almost losing her mind. "If she weren't, nothing would have happened. By now, I'd control the Clemens Group, my debts would be paid, and the Clemens Group wouldn't have so many problems."

Yeah, she thought Micah couldn't do anything to her. At worst, their relationship would break down, but he wouldn't kill her.

So she acted recklessly.

But she never expected the James Group to get involved.

That was the real reason everything went south.

"You..." Raymond was too angry to speak.

Silas shook his head and sighed. Nick was beyond redemption; there was no point in saying anything more.
