Chapter 893
Chapter: 893 “But I’m certain | saw him.” Ariana’s voice choked up.
“How is that even possible? It’s probably just your mind playing tricks on you because you miss him so much. You have to move on with your life. Try to let go as soon as you can,” Sonia gently comforted her.
Ariana clutched her chest, feeling a pang of sadness, and looked down.
Five years had gone by, but she still couldn’t fully come to terms with Theodore’s death. The car accident haunted her like a recurring nightmare.
Not wanting to argue with Sonia, she simply nodded and said nothing. Meanwhile, in another nearby elevator, Holden stood listening to his subordinate’s reports while looking outside. His face remained cold and impassive as he monitored a part of his business empire’s territory.
The elevator hadn't reached its destination yet, and Holden observed the bustling crowd outside. Amidst the cheerful faces, he spotted a woman standing at a distance, seemingly in tears. He gave her a quick glance but didn’t dwell on it, and nonchalantly shifted his gaze away.
“There’s a banquet tonight..
“Cancel tonight’s schedule,” Holden said coldly.
His subordinate was left hesitant. “Every single thing? But...” “Everything. | promised my child we’d have dinner together tonight,“ Holden responded, his expression remaining stoic and unyielding.
As the sightseeing elevator reached its destination, Holden and his crew stepped out, and there stood his fiancée, Sadie, with a glowing grin.
Holden wasted no time and asked bluntly, “What are you doing here? Where’s Adele?”
“She wanted some ice cream, so | told the nanny to take her out to buy some,” Sadie responded with a smile, trying to reach for Holden’s arm, but he deftly avoided her touch.
Frowning, Holden said in a cold tone, “Adele still has a cough. How can you permit her to have something cold?”
Surprised, Sadie tried to explain, but Holden’s irritation flared as he scolded her, “You should've been more careful with Adele, considering her condition. You shouldn’t have let her out of your sight. Get her back here immediately.” He then walked into the meeting room without saying another word.
Watching him go, Sadie’s once-beaming smile faded.
She clenched her fists in frustration.
In Holden's world, the kid always came first. It seemed like she didn’t matter at all without Adele around.
Resentment surged through her, fueling a deep grudge against Adele.
If it weren’t for wanting to Look Like a loving mother to Holden, Sadie would have done away with Adele a long time ago. Feeling agitated, Sadie called the nanny and demanded, “Where did you take the kid? Bring her back right now!”
At that very moment, the nanny’s voice sounded panicked over the phone, “Oh my God, Miss Pierre, something’s not right! The kid vanished in the blink of an eye, and | have no clue where she went!”
