She couldn’t bear to look into Holden’s sharp eyes, her voice barely holding together.

“Adele is the child I carried for ten months.

My health was a mess, and the pregnancy nearly did me in.

But I pushed through it because she is your daughter and I love her.

I didn’t give up.

The more she spoke, the angrier she got.

She seemed to believe her own lies.

“Holden, you’re really accusing me of lying about Adele being mine for Ariana? What is wrong with you? Have you ever believed anything I’ve said?”

Holden just sneered, tossing a piece of paper onto the table.

It was a paternity test report.

He said, “I never doubted Adele was your daughter.

But then, I found out how you’ve been treating her when I’m not around.

Who would do that to their own kid? How could someone who claims to care for their child be so neglectful?”

Sadie’s face turned white, her voice caught in her throat.

“I was blind before, but this proves everything,” Holden said coldly.

“So, what do you have to say for yourself now?”

Sadie felt like her world was falling apart.

She had never thought Holden would actually get a DNA test.

With shaking hands, she looked at the report.

Everything was clear: she wasn’t Adele’s biological mother.

Sadie felt a chill run through her.

Her hands trembled as she said, “No, no, there must be a mistake.

Adele is my daughter.

She has to be!”

But her words sounded hollow against the cold truth of the report.

Soon, Sadie ran out of things to say, and tears started flowing.

It was over.

She knew she was doomed.

 

Holden had all the proof he needed, and he wasn’t going to believe her words anymore.

Sadie’s despair turned to a deep, simmering hatred.

Holden’s patience wore thin.

His brow furrowed as he snapped, “What’s really going on with this child?”

But Sadie only cried, not saying anything.

She refused to admit that Adele was Ariana’s child.

When Holden got nothing but tears from Sadie, his rage erupted.

He kicked over the table in a violent burst.

Since Ariana had disappeared, Holden had been holding back his anger, but now, Sadie’s lies had pushed him past his breaking point.

He grabbed Sadie by the throat, his expression menacing.

“Did you really think I wouldn’t do anything? Did you think I’d just let you off the hook? I used to give you a pass because I thought you were Adele’s mother, but that’s not the case anymore.

Now, tell me, who is Adele’s real mother?”

Sadie was put in a chokehold and was gasping for breath.

Her eyes widened in horror, realizing that Holden really wanted to kill her.

She was so terrified that she seemed to see Theodore’s menacing figure from five years ago.
