Sadie’s ire ignited, causing Adele to whimper in pain as Sadie’s grip on the child’s fragile arm turned it red. Despite the searing pain, Adele clung tenaciously to Ariana’s clothes.
Seeing this, Sadie’s fury surged to new heights, and she seemed to teeter on the precipice of losing all self-control. She persisted in tugging at Adele’s arm with a ferocity that suggested a desire to remove it from the young girl’s body, leaving all of it red.
Ariana, alarmed and determined, promptly intervened to quell Sadie’s frantic behavior. She rebuked Sadie with a voice that rang like thunder, “Have you taken leave of your senses?”
With forceful resolve, Ariana swatted at Sadie’s hand, her aim to coax the woman into releasing Adele. But Sadie remained unyielding, holding fast to Adele.
Shawn stood aside, momentarily taken aback, before rushing to intervene. He struggled to get Sadie away from Adele, a battle of wills that demanded every ounce of their strength.
Nevertheless, Sadie appeared utterly unhinged, her voice now a piercing scream directed at Ariana. “Leave my house this instant!” Her bloodshot eyes bored into Ariana, brimming with malice.
Ever since Ariana’s arrival in Eleymond, Sadie’s nights had been bereft of reprieve. Every time she closed her eyes, Ariana’s infuriating visage haunted her. She lived in constant fear that Ariana would cross paths with Holden, stealing him away. The revelation of Adele’s true identity also gnawed at her.
To compound her woes, the recent incident on the talent show, where Sadie had manipulated Live audience voting, had somehow come to Light.
While the situation had eventually been contained, it had cost her a substantial portion of her fan base.
Her reputation lay in tatters, a bullseye for online abuse and hatred.
Sadie couldn't help but suspect Ariana’s involvement in this downfall.
With seething intensity, Sadie grilled Ariana, her words laced with accusation.

“Why are you here? Speak! What machinations are you weaving here?”
“Could you kindly cease your clamor? Damn!” Ariana retorted, her anger now at a boiling point as she held Adele.
Sadie’s relentless grip had left the child’s arm red and in pain, but Adele clung steadfastly to Ariana. Witnessing this, Sadie’s fury reached a crescendo. She bellowed, “Begone! Do you still seek to abduct my daughter?”
Shawn, attempting to mediate, interjected, “No, Miss Edwards is a psychologist hired by Mr. Fredrick to attend to Adele.”
But Sadie lent no credence to his words, accusing Ariana with a pointed finger, “Psychologist, you say? This woman harbors ulterior motives. How can someone from the entertainment realm exhibit such professionalism? | am certain she aims to scale the social ladder through Holden!”
Following her impassioned tirade, she cast a malevolent glare at Adele, issuing a menacing threat, “Why won't you come here, my dear?
Be cautious, for this woman could trade you off!” Adele, terrified by Sadie’s outburst, sought refuge behind Ariana, shivering in fear.
Ariana, her patience wearing thin, shielded Adele with her body and challenged Sadie, “Why are you acting like a rabid hound? This is your own daughter. Why subject her to such brutality? Is this how a mother should behave? Her arm is hurt because of your recklessness.
Are you truly her mother?”
Unable to restrain herself any longer, Sadie forcefully shoved Shawn aside, advancing toward Adele.
Ariana, frantic to protect the child, endeavored to thwart Sadie, but in her agitated state, Sadie managed to wrest Adele from Ariana’s grasp.
However, in the process, she exerted excessive force, causing the child to slip from her hold and hit the stairs, resulting ina bleeding head injury. Ariana gasped in horror, attempting to rush to Adele's side, but Sadie blocked her path.
In a state of panic, Shawn urgently called for the family doctor before hastily carrying Adele upstairs. Ariana, deeply worried, wanted to follow, but Sadie forcibly barred her way.
Sadie’s face contorted with hatred as she charged at Ariana, her voice laced with venom.
“You vile woman! This is all your doing!
Leave the Fredrick family this instant! Are you feigning virtue just to ensnare Holden? Are you so fond of being another man’s paramour?
Well, | can.”
Sadie’s acrimonious words were abruptly silenced, as Ariana, no longer able to tolerate her venomous accusations, delivered a resounding smack across Sadie’s face.
