She then turned around and started to walk away.
Holden caught up with her and said, âPlease donât be angry.
I didnât do anything inappropriate.
â
âOkay,â Ariana said Lightly.
Holden, eager to make her happy, clung to her hand, acting pitiful.
âIf youâre not mad, just look at me.
â
Arianaâs demeanor softened slightly, but she quickly changed her expression, glancing at him indifferently.
Holden, however, seemed to sense Arianaâs mood improving.
Overjoyed, he suddenly lifted her up.
Ariana let out a shriek, a mix of amusement and annoyance in her voice, as she playfully hit him.
âWhat are you doing?â
âIâm taking you home, of course,â Holden replied with a grin, carrying her towards the car.
Meanwhile, Sadie, on the villaâs second floor, witnessed the scene from the window.
She clutched the curtain tightly, her gaze fixed grimly on the direction Holden and Ariana left.
Only when their car disappeared at the end of the road did she finally avert her eyes.
Why could Ariana win Holdenâs heart? That was so unfair!
Sadie was determined not to give up.
She swiftly sent a message to Zayden.
âI want Ariana dead.
Iâm willing to do anything for that to happen.
â
Zayden replied quickly, âTake care of yourself.
Your unborn child is precious.
Iâll handle Ariana.
â
Sadie smirked coldly, thinking of how Holden had treated Ariana.
She was filled with resentment and determination now.
âIf you insist on this, Holden, Iâll make you suffer,â she muttered.
She then texted Zayden again, adding, âDonât forget about her son.
Heâs also Holdenâs son.
â
Zaydenâs reply came quickly.
âIâm well aware.
