Chapter 902
In minutes, chaos erupted, with voices raised in loud arguments all around.
Sadie’s composure faded, revealing a malicious expression on her face.
“Why did I even hire you useless security guards?” she shouted.
“Get rid of these trespassers immediately!”
Just at that moment, a commanding male voice broke through the commotion from behind them.
“Enough! Everyone stand down.
”
Everyone turned and watched Holden’s assistant, Shawn, walk over.
Holden waited impatiently in the conference room.
He had sent Shawn to pick up the partners he was expecting when he saw that they hadn’t come yet.
When Shawn arrived, he was stunned to find Ariana and Mandy in a heated confrontation with Sadie.
“What’s going on here?” Shawn asked, watching the tense scene.
Mandy quickly explained to Shawn how Sadie had accused them earlier.
She was still angry and couldn’t calm down at all.
“We don’t know why she’s so convinced we have an evil plan in mind!”
Hearing that, Shawn shifted his gaze to Sadie and said, “Ms.
Pierre, there’s definitely a misunderstanding.
These two ladies are our esteemed partners from Melcorn, whom Mr.
Fredrick holds in very high regard.
”
Hearing what Shawn said, Sadie’s face darkened momentarily.
However, she put on a forced smile.
“I see.
My mistake then.
”
Sadie was pissed off and she clenched her fists so hard that her fingernails dug painfully into her palms.
But even then, she maintained her good-girl facade perfectly in front of Shawn.
Shawn didn’t say anything else.
He glanced at his watch and then said to Ariana and Mandy, “Mr.
Fredrick has been waiting.
I’ll take you there now.
”
Ariana nodded quickly.
She was eager to avoid further conflict with Sadie, so she and Mandy followed Shawn into the elevator.
Sadie’s whole body trembled as she watched the elevator doors close.
She could barely suppress her rage.
That shameless, clingy witch, Ariana! She just wouldn’t give up!
Sadie cursed under her breath, gritting her teeth as her mind raced.

What could she do now? She couldn’t let Ariana meet with Holden.
What if seeing Ariana jogged Holden’s memory?
While Sadie was lost in thought, Adele gingerly touched her arm.
Feeling someone touching her, Sadie reflexively slapped the person hard without thinking twice or bothering to see who it was.
However, aware of passers-by around her, Sadie quickly pulled herself together.
Abusing Adele in public could put everything in jeopardy.
Holden should never know about this.
Sadie forced a smile and crouched down in front of Adele.
“What’s wrong, sweetie?” she asked softly.
However, Adele didn’t say anything.
The little girl just hid her reddened hand behind her back and lowered her head.
A sense of disgust surged up in Sadie’s heart when she saw Adele’s action, but she maintained her fake kindness.
She scooped Adele up and asked softly, “Are you missing daddy? Let’s go see him.
”
Finally, Adele slowly wrapped her arms around Sadie’s neck and rested her head on Sadie’s shoulder.
