The bodyguard hesitated, feeling nervous under Holden's intense gaze.

Finally, he reluctantly explained, "After Mr. Williams left, Miss Edwards also left with her child. Then all of a sudden, Adele had a seizure."

Holden thought something was off. Although Adele could have seizures due to external stimuli, she seldom experienced such severe episodes.

Something else must have happened.

Holden glared at the bodyguard with a stern gaze and said coldly,

“You either tell me the truth or you leave directly.”

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room was so tense that it could be cut with a knife. The bodyguard couldn't resist the pressure and confessed, "It was right after Mr. Williams left. Miss Pierre came in and she had a heated argument with Miss Edwards. Adele probably had a breakdown from witnessing the confrontation."

"What were they arguing about?" Holden asked again, with a furrowed brow.

"Miss Pierre claimed that the boy who had bullied Adele on the ship deck was Miss Edwards' son. She insisted that I drive Miss Edwards away. Miss Edwards was angered by the situation and she left by herself," the bodyguard explained.

Seeing that Holden's face had darkened, the bodyguard hurriedly added,

"It was Miss Pierre who stopped me from telling you the truth. She threatened to fire me if I said a word about it."

Hearing this, Holden's expression grew even darker. He glared at the bodyguard and said in an icy tone, "Go change shifts."

The bodyguard quickly nodded and left the room.

After the bodyguard left, Shawn finally spoke up.

"I didn't expect that little Melon was the one who bullied Adele last night."

"Do you believe it?" Holden asked with a sneer.

Shawn shook his head firmly.

"No, I don't. Although I only had a brief interaction with the little boy, I can tell that he is well- mannered. Furthermore, he visibly loves Adele and seems determined to treat her like a sister. Why would he bully her? Besides, if he had hurt Adele, she wouldn't be so attached to him.

Holden seemed to agree with Shawn's assessment. However, he didn't say anything and soon fell into contemplation.

As he pondered about the whole situation, he found Sadie's actions and behavior increasingly suspicious.
