Taken aback by Devin's words, Sadie seethed silently. Before she could respond, Devin said, “I always prioritize Mr. Fredrick's interests. Currently, your comments are irrelevant. You're not qualified to assess my decisions or statements."

Feeling deflated, Sadie grudgingly admitted, "I didn't mean to cause a big scene. I just wanted Ariana to apologize for hitting me."

Ariana retorted, "For the last time, I didn't hit you. It was your nails that scratched me. You can argue all you want, but a lie will never become the truth. Try having some conscience."

Ariana had no desire to stick around and brushed past Chloe and Livia to make her exit.

Just then, Adele softly called out, "Aria."

Hearing her name, Ariana paused and turned to look at Adele. Her tone softened immediately, and she approached Adele, extending her hand. “Adele, do you want to come with me?"

Adele nodded at Ariana and opened her arms for a hug.

Ariana felt her heart melt, and she lifted Adele to Leave.

Watching this, Sadie completely lost her composure. She dashed over, waving her arms and yelling, “Put my child down, you bitch! She's mine!"

Chloe and Livia, startled by Sadie's outburst, quickly tried to intervene, fearing Sadie might hurt the baby in her belly.

But Sadie was beyond reasoning. Her eyes, red with anger, locked onto Ariana. "You shameless home-wrecker! You stole Holden, and now, you want to take my child away, too? Have you no decency? How dare you even show your face here? If it weren't for you, Holden, the baby, and I would be a perfect family. You belong in hell for tearing my family apart! Give me back my child! Don't you dare take her away!"

Sadie attempted to reach Ariana, and even with Chloe and Livia intervening, they couldn't stop Sadie.

Witnessing Sadie's wild behavior, Ariana realized she couldn't trust Sadie around Adele.

When Sadie lunged at her, Ariana merely frowned and stepped aside, avoiding Sadie's grasp.

But in her frantic state, Sadie lost her balance. Breaking free from Chloe and Livia, she stumbled into a table.

She let out a cry of pain and crumpled to the floor, shouting, “Help! Ariana is trying to kill me! Save my baby!"

Ariana stood there, shocked. She hadn't touched Sadie, yet Sadie was accusing her of assault.

Ariana responded, "Are you out of your mind? I didn't even touch you. How can you accuse me of that?"

Meanwhile, Sadie remained on the floor, still screaming for help.

Devin quickly called a doctor, and that was when Holden arrived.
