The car roared to life and sped off. Arya couldn''t help but ask, "What did Olivia want with Ms. James?"


    "She officially dered war," Annika fumed. "She said she and Mr. Clemens are destined to be together and that starting today, she''s going to make her move." Arya''s temper red. "Is Olivia out of her mind? Who does she think she is?"


    "I almost lost it earlier, but luckily, Ms. James put her in her ce," Annika said cautiously, ncing at Sadie. "You really shut her down!"


    "Damn it, if I had known, I would''ve run her over," Arya said, gripping the steering wheel tightly and gritting her teeth. "Next time I see her, I won''t be so nice!"


    "That''s enough," Sadie said sternly. "What do you mean you won''t be nice?"


    "I..." Arya looked at her weakly through the rearview mirror, not daring to speak.


    "Olivia ispeting fairly, which is much better than being sneaky and underhanded," Sadie said objectively. "With her current abilities, if she really wanted to do something behind our backs, there''s nothing I could do about it." "That''s true," Annika responded softly.


    Sadie thought about Olivia, feeling a bit uneasy. She said, "If she had a bad character, I wouldn''t even consider her a threat. But she''s always polite, and she does things aboveboard. Because of this, I actually see her as a worthy opponent." "I think you''re overthinking it," Arya couldn''t help but say. "Mr. Clemens risked his life to save you. He loves you so much that he doesn''t even care about Olivia. You don''t need to worry."


    Sadie didn''t respond; she just lowered her eyes and looked troubled.


    "How are the kids?" Annika noticed that Sadie was feeling down and quickly changed the subject. "We didn''te backst night. Did they cause any trouble?"


    Arya, who was mainly responsible for taking care of the kids, started talking about this topic. "They were quite a handful. They insisted I tell them stories. I told three stories, but they still wouldn''t let me go. In the end, I had to stay and keep the girlspany."


    Annika chatted with her while observing Sadie''s expression.


    Sadie looked out the window, her gaze veryplicated.


    Soon, they arrived home. It was the weekend, and the kids were all at home.


    Sadie first went to see Mia and the three little girls, yed with them for a while, and then went to Noah and Nathan''s room.


    At that moment, Nathan was diligently doing his homework and asionally asked Noah questions. "Noah, how do you do this problem?"


    Usually patient, Noah was very irritable today and snapped, "Didn''t I exin it yesterday? How do you still not get it?"


    Nathan was stunned by his outburst, his face flushing with anger. He said, "You''re so mean. If you don''t want to exin, fine, but why yell at me?"


    "I exined it once, and you still don''t get it," Noah said irritably. "This problem is so simple, you shouldn''t need anyone to exin it. You should understand it just by looking at it. What''s wrong with you?"


    "You..." Nathan''s eyes welled up with tears, and he pouted, feeling wronged as he ran out, bumping into Sadie at the door. He froze for a moment, then hugged Sadie and burst into tears.


    "Nathan," Sadie hugged Nathan while ncing at Noah. She gently said, "Come on, stop crying. If your sisters hear you, they''ll tease you."


    Nathan tried to hold back his sobs but couldn''t stop sniffling.


    "What happened to Nathan?" Annika hurried over tofort him. "Don''t cry. I''ll take you to have breakfast."


    "Be good. Mommy wille find you in a bit," Sadie handed Nathan over to Annika, watched them leave, and then walked into the room. She said softly, "Noah, we need to talk!"
