Chapter 1088
“| don’t understand why Miss Pierre reacted so negatively to Miss Edwards. Miss Edwards did nothing wrong,” he remarked. Holden shared Shawn’s confusion, feeling that something was amiss. Why did Sadie react so violently every time she saw Ariana? Did they already know each other?
But Holden had checked Ariana’s background and found nothing that would suggest she had any prior connection or conflicts with Sadie.
This situation was quite perplexing and it was eating Holden up. He didn’t like having to deal with a mystery that was impossible for him to solve.
Back at home, Ariana’s anger grew as she reflected on recent events.
She regretted not giving Sadie a few more slaps today. Ariana couldn’t understand Sadie’s simply unreasonable behavior! Every time they met, it seemed like Sadie was afraid that Ariana was going to steal Adele from her, and because of that, Sadie targeted her without rhyme or reason.
Thinking about this, Ariana was both furious and perplexed. She didn’t understand why Sadie treated her like a sworn enemy. Did they have any previous conflicts or grievances?
But as far as she could remember, she hadn't known Sadie before. There wasn’t even anyone remotely like Sadie in her memory. With her mind filled with doubts, Ariana decided to search Sadie’s information on the internet.
However, she was disappointed by how little information she could find on Sadie. Besides Sadie’s identity as Holden’s fiancée, there was only standard information about Sadie as there was of other public figures. As she read the information about Sadie that she was able to find online, Ariana was confident that Sadie was well protected by the Fredrick Group, as there were no significant scandals or controversies about her online. Even the behind-the— scenes vote manipulation incident was hushed up.

Frustrated and perplexed, Ariana reached out to Sonia via message to vent her anger over the day’s events while sharing her confusion over the situation. She also wanted to get Sonia’s opinion on Sadie’s motivations.
Sonia was soon to reply, and she first sent a surprised emoji. The next second, Ariana received a phone call from Sonia. As soon as Ariana picked the call, Sonia’s voice came through.
“Could she have adopted Adele or something? The way she behaves is so suspicious. Or maybe she’s hiding something about the kid. It may not just be you she’s preventing from getting closer to Adele, but just anyone. Why else would she be so afraid of you approaching Adele? | mean, you’ve never met before!” There was clear astonishment in Sonia’s voice.
Lying on her sofa, Ariana shared her friend’s perplexity.
“| can’t say for sure. It’s just speculation, and I’m not a detective either.
| can’t pretend that everything | think is correct. Besides, it's their family issues, and | have no right to interfere.”
“That’s right,” Sonia agreed firmly. Clicking her tongue, Sonia added in a serious tone, “But her behavior is just too suspicious. | mean, the way she treats Adele doesn’t seem at all like how a mother will treat her daughter.”
Recalling how indifferent Sadie had been to Adele’s cries earlier today, Ariana nodded and said seriously, “That’s right. Doesn't she like Adele? She didn’t seem bothered at all when Adele was crying today.”
“That doesn’t make sense. Think about it, her fame and fortune all entirely rely on the influence of Fredrick Group. Why won't she love the child she has with Holden Fredrick? She should pamper Adele and shower her with love in the hopes that she can use the little girl to string Holden along, right?”
“You're right. Holden cares deeply about his daughter. Besides, Adele is the only grandchild of the Fredrick family. Sadie’s attitude is indeed puzzling,” Ariana said. Her furrow deepened as they discussed the matter.
“Maybe there’s something wrong with these members of the upper class,”
