Casting Sadie a frosty glance, Holden then lifted Adele and handed her to Devin, instructing, "Devin, take Adele outside for now."

Devin nodded in acknowledgment and departed with Adele, closing the door behind them.

Once the door closed, Sadie collapsed into tears, saying, “Holden, I'm so relieved you're safe."

Holden observed her with a smirk and said coldly, "Oh, really? You're still relieved I didn't meet the end you all wished for?"

Upon hearing that, Sadie tensed, recognizing that Holden had grouped her with Zayden. A shiver ran down her spine.
