Holden didn't bother to engage further.

"I have little patience for deceit. Reflect on your actions."

With that, he turned sharply and left the room, leaving a shaken Sadie grappling with her mounting anxiety.

Sadie paced, replaying his enigmatic words. What had he discovered?

Torn with uncertainty, she made her way to her own room, craving its solace.

But once there, she felt no relief. An unsettling feeling gnawed at her. She needed to speak to Zayden.

After a few rings, Zayden's nonchalant voice came through the phone.

“yihat's up?"

In a rush, Sadie said, "Holden's onto something. I need your help now more than ever. I'll do whatever it takes!"

The following morning, Ariana and Melon made their way to the filming spot as planned.

Upon arriving, Ariana spotted Remy shooting her quick, anxious looks.

She figured he must be feeling a tad sheepish about the sneaky thing he had pulled. But Ariana shrugged it off, mingling with everyone and sticking to the plan set by the production crew.

Later that day, the crew had a surprise: The kids had to team up with a camera squad to drop by local folks’ houses and gather supplies. The grown-ups, on the other hand, got paired up, their mission to unearth hidden treasures in the vast outdoors.

And when it came to teaming up, Ariana got Remy.

Ariana was unfazed. She brushed off the previous night's events, making sure she kept her space while tackling the tasks.

However, she soon realized that Remy was really bad at completing the task.

Besides not having a clue himself, he was dead set on having Ariana follow his directionless wandering.

With the daylight fading and still no item in hand, they were in a pickle.

After floundering for what felt like forever, even Remy looked like he wanted to bury his head in the sand. He started off grumbling here and there, but soon enough, he buttoned up, tailing Ariana without a peep.

Though she kept her cool, Ariana's last nerve was close to snapping.
