The conversation continued, with many still buzzing about the love triangle involving Holden, Ariana, and Sadie,
igniting endless speculation.
The online world was abuzz, and Sadie struggled to calm her nerves.
Once Zayden departed, she found herself alone in the conference room, overwhelmed with anxiety.
The fear of Holden discovering her recent interactions with Zayden and suspecting collusion kept her on edge.
Restless and fearful of Holden, Sadie was too scared to follow Zayden.
She had no option but to remain seated.
Only after the conclusion of the shareholders’ meeting did Sadie seize an opportunity.

She discreetly
messaged Zayden, seeking guidance on her next move.
However, she received no response.
At that instant, Sadie experienced a profound sense of abandonment.
A tumultuous blend of guilt-driven fear and the bitterness of being disregarded engulfed her, but she felt
powerless to act.
She rubbed her stomach in an attempt to calm herself as she observed Holden entering the office with Adele.
Drawing a deep breath, she straightened her skirt, stood up, and approached Holden's office door with a resolute
expression, pushing it open.
Inside, Holden tenderly inspected the red marks on Adele’s arms—unmistakable fingernail scratches.
With evident concern, he crouched down and asked, “Adele, sweetheart, does it hurt?”
Adele remained silent, merely biting her lip and gazing timidly at Holden before bursting into tears, pleading, “I
want Mommy.
Where is Mommy?”
Upon hearing Adele’s words, Sadie rushed over and attempted to embrace Adele, but Holden intervened and
stopped her.
Casting Sadie a frosty glance, Holden then lifted Adele and handed her to Devin, instructing, “Devin, take Adele
outside for now.
Devin nodded in acknowledgment and departed with Adele, closing the door behind them.

Once the door closed, Sadie collapsed into tears, saying, “Holden, I'm so relieved you're safe.
Holden observed her with a smirk and said coldly, “Oh, really? You're still relieved | didn’t meet the end you all
wished for?”
Upon hearing that, Sadie tensed, recognizing that Holden had grouped her with Zayden.
A shiver ran down her spine.
She feigned ignorance of his implication, exclaiming, “What do you mean? Adele and | have been praying for
your safe return.
Holden regarded her with a faint chuckle, replying, “Is that right? | appreciate it.
His tone was devoid of emotion, concluding the conversation abruptly.
Speechless, Sadie lowered her gaze, too afraid to meet Holden's eyes.
