Fortunately, Adrian appeared in time, grabbed her, and pulled her behind their car. Sonia, dont be impulsive. We dont know how many of them are inside, and theyre armed. We cant just force our way in, he said.
Those people are armed, and they are holding the children hostage. The children are in danger, Sonia replied anxiously. She knew they couldnt just break in now, and it made her worry more about the children.
At that moment, the loudspeaker crackled again. Then, a robotic voice sounded, Everyone, get out of here! We dont want to hurt innocent people, so leave now if you dont want to die.
What? They dont want to hurt innocent people? What about those two innocent children? Sonia could no longer hold back her anger. She took out a portable megaphone from her pocket and shouted, You shameless kidnappers! Who the hell are you? You dont want to hurt innocent people? What about the children? What kind of evil people would kidnap innocent children? Release them now!
Sonia waited for a while, but there was no response from the loudspeaker. She couldnt help cursing, Sadie, dont fcking hide! I know its you! You tampered with Arianas car, right? Come out here and confront me face to face. The children have nothing to do with this. Let them go!
After a while, the robotic voice came again. We will release the children, but on one condition.
Really? They still dare to make demands? How shameless! Sonia muttered. Then, she said through the megaphone, What condition? If it means youll let the children go, were Listening.
The robotic voice from the loudspeaker laughed and said, As long as Holden dies, we will let the children go.

When Sonia heard this, she was taken aback. She turned off the megaphone, hid behind the car, and said to Adrian, This is bad. These people are clearly after Holden.
Adrian looked at Sonia resignedly. Did you just figure that out? From the car accident and the kidnapping, they are apparently targeting Holden. Ariana doesnt have such vicious enemies.
After saying this, Adrian seemed to have thought of something. He touched his chin and said, But if thats the case, its a good thing that we havent found Ariana. Maybe we cant find her now because they have taken her away, which means Ariana is alive. But who on earth has such a big grudge against Holden?
Upon hearing Adrians words, Sonia began to piece things together.
Judging from her contacts and the information network she had, although the Fredrick family had faced their fair share of business rivals, the most stubborn enemies had already been dealt with. And the remaining wouldnt go to such extremes despite the potential conflicts of interest with the Fredrick familys business ventures.
The person behind this was not only after Holden but also had connections with Sadie.
Its Zayden! Sonia and Adrian exclaimed in unison. They finally realized who was behind all this.
Sonia and Adrian exchanged glances and nodded, both fairly certain that Zayden was behind it all.
Sonia, previously disheartened, perked up at the news that Ariana might still be alive. As suspicion turned toward Zayden, she quickly asked, If Zaydens behind this and Ariana is on his hands, what do you think the odds are that shes still alive?
Hope flickered in Sonias eyes, but Adrian sighed deeply before responding. Im just

speculating. Im not sure what his plan is. The only thing we can be sure of is that we havent found Ariana because he probably took her away. But alive or dead? I really cant say.
After a pause, he continued, Knowing Zayden, hes not one to let things slide.
Sonias spirits dropped again at his words, and she began to cry, her voice breaking as she said, No matter what, we need to protect the children, especially Melon.
Sonia had been there since Melons birth and was Melons godmother.
She thought that even if something bad had happened to Ariana, she needed to protect her child.
Sonia gripped the small megaphone tightly, her prayers for Arianas safety silent but fervent.
Suddenly, the sound of a car drew their attention.
