Sadie tried to fake a laugh, and her words stumbled out, Whats with the sudden mention of that name?
Holden shot her a cold look, not saying a word, which only cranked up her anxiety. Sadie quickly added, You cant just say that since Arianas gone
She couldnt even finish her thought, her words turning into gibberish.
Holden, are you still okay? Look at me, its Sadie. Youre not mistaking me for someone else, are you?
But Holden stayed silent, sending shivers down her spine. In a panic, she blurted out, Holden, the child is yours, really. Dont freak me out. Youre the only one I care about!
Watching Sadies frantic babbling, Holden let out a chuckle and moved closer, his cigarette perilously close to igniting her hair.
But Sadie was too petrified to react. She awkwardly toyed with a strand of her hair.
Holdens gaze lingered on the birthmark on her ear, his expression unreadable as he said, Why not fix your ears, too? If youre going to change your identity, you might as well go all the way.
Frozen with fear, Sadie couldnt move or utter a word.
Then, Holden slammed a folder onto the table.
Sadies heart skipped a beat.
It was her plastic surgery record!
The documents detailed every step of her transformation from Helen to Sadie, with each procedure meticulously recorded.

After hearing about Arianas accident, Dr. Larson was shown by Holdens people video footage that implicated Sadie in tampering with Arianas car Dr. Larson, fueled by anger, had spilled all the intricate details of Sadies surgeries.
Do you want to see for yourself? Holden said, his voice dripping with icy disdain.
Trembling uncontrollably, Sadie flipped through the weighty documents, sinking further into a pit of dread with each page.
It was undeniably her history at that clinic.
But she couldnt concentrate on the words anymore. Her mind raced, desperately seeking an escape from this situation.
She had never anticipated that Holden would trace to this clinic. She had assumed he wouldnt care about a plastic surgery joint, let alone connect her to Helen.
Where had she slipped up? How had he found out about the truth?
As Sadie reached the final page of the file, panic consumed her.
This This isnt me! she cried out, her desperation echoing through the room. Sure, I had surgery, but I dont recognize the person in these records. Its not me.
Tears cascaded down her cheeks as she stared at Holden and said, Someones framing me. Someone tampered with these records. I dont know any Helen, I swear!
