Undoubtedly, this remained the chief aim of their children’s charity organization. Following some

contemplative moments, Ariana acceded,

“Very well then, furnish me with their contact particulars, and I shall reach them when time allows.”

With an affirmation, Jessie ended the call and promptly sent the contact information.

As Ariana perused it, her gaze snagged on the name “Mr. Fredrick.”

Well, well, Fredrick? Could this be a stroke of fortune or something?

Swiftly, Ariana messaged Jessie.

“Is this perchance Mr. Holden Fredrick from the esteemed Fredrick Group?”

Jessie appeared somewhat taken aback by her swift deduction and responded, “Indeed, it is none

other than Holden Fredrick from the Fredrick Group. I was just about to send the specifics.”

Ariana was somewhat at a loss at the sight of the name Holden.

Suddenly, she found herself tilting toward refusal.

After all, a certain distaste for that woman, Sadie, resonated within her. Being in her proximity was akin

to a recipe for vexation!

Even with her serene demeanor, the thought of Sadie triggered a disconcerting unease in Ariana, and

she dreaded the possibility of losing her composure and engaging in a clash.

Ariana had her declination primed, yet abruptly, the endearing face of Adele floated into her thoughts,

chiseling a chink in her resolve.

Such a composed child. It would be unfair if she continued contending with autism.

Moreover, Adele had shown no aversion to her presence.

Ariana wavered for a fleeting moment and erased her intent to decline.

ALL things considered, any enmity shared between her and Sadie was theirs to shoulder; innocent

children shouldn’t bear the brunt of it.

Nonetheless, Sadie’s thought still brought on a throbbing headache.

Though Sonia had meted out retribution to Sadie on the deck, Ariana found herself vexed by Sadie for

no apparent reason. And Sadie’s imperviousness to Adele’s condition only fanned her ire.

Many therapies necessitated parental cooperation, but foreseeing Sadie’s stance was a slippery slope.

Further, Ariana worried that any discord with Sadie could perturb Adele. She needed a strategy to

sidestep face-to-face encounters with Sadie.

At that moment, another message arrived from Jessie.

“By the way, the child’s parents are caught in the whirlwind of their obligations lately. They’ll reach out

when the timing aligns. No need for you to initiate contact.”

This tidbit brought Ariana solace. She had time for preparation and wouldn’t be confronted by Sadie

immediately.
