âI obliterated that footage precisely because I foresaw this exact scenario! I had no desire for you to perceive me as wicked and then endeavor to wrest my standing as Adeleâs mother from me!â
Following her tirade, an enigmatic hush descended on the room.
Holden looked at her for an extended moment, his Lips curling into a sarcastic smirk.
âAh, just as I surmised, the verity behind your actions aligns exactly with my suspicions!â
Sadie stared at Holden in shock.
Holden slowly stood up and said in a serious tone, âYou were the one who destroyed the monitor on the deck.
So we couldnât get it.
I just lied to you and unfortunately for you, you are so stupid that you told me everything.
â
As soon as Holden finished his words, Sadie realized what she had just done.
She looked at Holden in shock, with many thoughts flashing through her mind.
Why did he do that? Did he remember Ariana? Or perhaps he had recognized Arianaâs child as his son?
However, Sadie quickly dismissed these thoughts.
If Holden had really recognized Ariana or Melon, he wouldnât be so calm.
Puzzled and confused, Sadie looked at Holden and asked in a trembling voice, âWhy did you do this to me? Do you really want to do justice to a stranger? Iâm also injured! As a matter of fact, I am seriously injured!â
Holden glanced at Sadie indifferently and said coldly, âThe person who is seriously injured is the one you wronged! You went too far this time.
I hate being lied to, especially when it comes to Adele.
â
Since she had already lied to him like this, Holden knew she would most likely do it again.
He couldnât stand it.
Before Sadie could retort, he stood up and said coldly, âYou should reflect on yourself.
â
With that, he turned around and went to the lounge, leaving Sadie alone.
At this time, Ariana and Melon were on their way home.
Melon, who was usually very lively, had been silent along the way.
This was so unusual and Ariana frequently turned her head to look at her son who seemed depressed.
Alas, she didnât know how to comfort him.
Ariana felt so powerless.
She knew that Melon was sad because of what happened just now, but she had no way to comfort him.
After all, it was Holdenâs familyâs business, and she had no right to interfere.

Suddenly, Melon held Arianaâs hand and asked, âMommy, can I play with Adele in the future?â
âOf course! The two of you are friends.
As long as Adele wants to play with you, I would never stop you,â Ariana replied with a gentle smile.
âBut her mother is so fierce.
Adele looks so sad,â Melon remarked and he lowered his little head again.
Ariana sighed helplessly.
Adeleâs beautiful eyes flashed in her mind, and she felt so sorry for the little girl.
Adele was a lovely child who seemed so sad.
Ariana was more than willing to stay with the little girl.
However, it was a motherâs responsibility to take care of her child, and Adele was Sadieâs daughter.
Ariana touched Melonâs head and said in a soft voice, âThe two of you can meet in the future, and you can play together.
Adele likes to play with you, doesnât she?â
Melon nodded, but he seemed to still be a little unhappy.
Knowing that there was nothing she could do to better her sonâs mood, Ariana just stroked the Little boyâs head silently.
At the same time, Ariana was puzzled about something.
Whenever Sadie saw her with Adele, Sadie would be so agitated, as if she was afraid that Ariana and Melon would get close to Adele.
It seemed almost as if Sadie was afraid of something.
Ariana couldnât figure out why Sadie, who was the fiancée of the head of the Fredrick Group, would be afraid of them.
