“Who are you? Mind your own business!" Sadie impatiently retorted and turned around to face the person speaking. When she saw who it was, her pupils dilated in shock.

How could it be Ariana? Why did she return?!

Sadie's first instinct upon seeing Ariana was to turn her face away so Ariana wouldn't recognize her. But she quickly remembered that she was wearing sunglasses and a face mask, and moreover her appearance had changed considerably from the past. So she didn‘t need to worry about being recognized.

So, Sadie turned back and boldly faced Ariana.

“How is the way I raise my child your business?" she said arrogantly.

Ariana had originally planned to have a friendly approach and maybe exchange a few words with the woman. She really hadn't expected such a defensive and aggressive response from her. Moreover, the fact that the woman behaved like this in front of her own child left Ariana stunned.

“As a parent, you should take better care of your child! How can you let such a young child wander around the mall alone? Do you have any idea what would have happened if she had met someone dangerous instead of me?" Ariana was obviously angry.

When Sadie heard that Ariana had run into Adele, she instantly became alert and carefully observed Ariana. As if afraid of something, Sadie held Adele close and took a step back, shielding the child from Ariana's view.

"What's your business here, huh?" Sadie shouted suddenly. Her voice became defensive, and she directly accused Ariana.

"I think you have evil intentions. Why else would you follow us Like this? Do you want money from us?"

Without giving Ariana a chance to respond, Sadie turned to the nanny and instructed, "Quick, give her some money so she can leave us alone.

I don't want people Like her around me."

Her disdainful attitude gave Ariana a headache. Ariana decided she'd better leave this crazy woman alone, so she turned around and walked away.

Even though Ariana had left, Sadie still didn't calm down. Feeling extremely anxious, she subconsciously tightened her grip on Adele's hand. It wasn't until Adele cried in pain that Sadie came back to her senses.

At this moment, Sadie turned to the nanny and asked angrily, "How could you leave the kid with a stranger? How long were they together? What did they talk about? Did you find anything wrong with that woman's behavior?" She bombarded the nanny with questions.

The nanny quickly shook her head and replied, "No, no! Miss, they didn't spend much time together, and they didn't talk much either. They just happened to run into each other and chatted briefly. There was nothing unusual."

Sadie felt relieved when she heard that Ariana and Adele hadn't chatted for long, and that Ariana didn't have any unusual behavior.

She thought that after all these years, Ariana couldn't possibly notice anything fishy.

Although she thought so, Sadie still reminded the nanny seriously, “From now on, I want you to keep a close eye on the child. You must make sure she doesn*t have any contact with that woman ever again!”

Of course, the nanny was puzzled by the unusual order, but she still nodded in agreement.
