Chapter 1279: Chapter 1287

Yet, Adele was indeed Holden’s daughter.

Ariana was baffled.

Suddenly, she asked, “Why was Sadie at the hospital today? Was it for a prenatal check-up? How far along is her pregnancy?”

Hearing Ariana’s question, Shawn thought she was worried about Sadie’s pregnancy.

He quickly jumped to Holden’s defense, explaining, “Mr.

Fredrick only Learned about the pregnancy recently.

It seems Sadie took advantage of him when he was drunk and ended up in his bed.

Moreover, Mr.

Fredrick never planned on having this child, and the doctors also recommended Sadie not to proceed with the pregnancy.

”

After defending Holden, Shawn then mentioned, “Sadie wasn’t at the hospital for a prenatal check-up today.

She was there because of her heart problem.

”

Heart problem?

Ariana furrowed her brows.

The mention of heart disease brought back memories of Helen, who had vanished five years ago.

No sooner had the thought crossed Ariana’s mind than she brushed it aside, thinking she might be overthinking things.

Sadie had a heart problem.

Helen had one, too.

Could this just be a coincidence?

Was it possible they were the same person? The idea seemed impossible, yet…

Ariana’s frown deepened, cautioning herself not to jump to conclusions.

Changing one’s appearance entirely seemed far too ridiculous.

She couldn’t allow herself to be swayed by something so absurd simply because Sadie had upset her.

Nevertheless, no matter how much Ariana tried to shake off the thought, it stubbornly remained in her mind.

She had delved into the details of the accident that had happened five years ago.

According to the reports, Horace had met his end when shards of windshield glass had pierced his aorta.

Theodore had succumbed to the loss of blood from injuries to his internal organs.

But there was supposed to be a third person involved in the accident, the one responsible for it, Helen.

However, she seemed to have disappeared without a trace since then.

Ariana remembered Sonia mentioning that she found out Sadie had undergone cosmetic surgery.

These pieces of information churned in Ariana’s head, causing her unease to grow.

At last, she took out her phone and sent a message to Sonia about Helen, inquiring if Sonia could find out where Helen was now.

After Shawn had dropped Ariana off at her place and left, Ariana found herself alone, sitting on her sofa.

She nervously fiddled with the edge of her shirt, pondering over all the possibilities.

That was when Sonia responded, “Sure thing.

I’ll look into it.

But what’s the deal with you and Holden now? And why is Sadie showing off on social media again?”

This was news to Ariana.

She immediately checked her phone.

She discovered Sadie’s post-a report from a prenatal check-up and a picture of Holden’s back.

He was holding Adele.

The caption read: “1+1=4.

”

Sadie’s post had once again stirred up a whirlwind of gossip among the online community.

“What the hell? They already have a daughter together?”

“And there’s another child on the way? What’s happening here?”

“And what about the wedding? Was it all just a big mistake?”

“Could that really be Holden? He seems a bit Like Zayden, too.

”

Sadie didn’t waste a moment to address the comment about Zayden.
