“Got it,” Holden responded in a low, ominous tone. “You can go rest now,” he instructed Devin. Devin
nodded and Left, and Holden went to find Sadie.

sobs and wails. “I placed my complete trust in you, leaving every responsibility in your capable hands.
But how could you have been so recklessly negligent, betraying my trust without a second thought?”

take full responsibility for this unfortunate incident.”

situation?” she retorted. “You managed to confuse the mango and orange juice bottles, causing Adele
to consume the wrong one!”

remorseful tears, pleaded.

“My intention was never to cause harm. It was an unfortunate accident. I’ve devoted years to serving
this family. I implore you, have mercy.”
Sadie’s cold sneer silenced her pleas. “No more words. Following such reckless negligence, your
presence here is simply untenable. Were any real harm to befall Adele, I could never forgive myself.”

sobbing. Stepping delicately to the door, she cautiously peered out until the towering figure of Holden
vanished from her line of sight. Finally, a sigh of relief escaped her Lips.

woman’s trembling hand. Her voice dropped to a chilling whisper as she commanded, “Accept this and
vanish from this place forever. Do not return even for your belongings. This secret must remain Locked
within you, or the consequences will be dire.”

her the title of fiancée, his true emotions remained a mystery to Sadie. Materially, he treated her
impeccably, sparing no expense to elevate her status. Yet, the postponed wedding and his avoidance

Holden, offering a meek apology, appealing to his sympathy. Perhaps this would finally lead them to
consummate their relationship. Once she carried his heir, Adele would lose her influence.

sofa, drinking in solitude, already showing signs of heavy intoxication.
