Chapter: 1232
Sadie teetered on the precipice of madness, her eyes now bloodshot.
The urge to succumb to murderous thoughts was a maelstrom she grappled to restrain.
So, the woman with whom Holden had danced the previous night was none other than Ariana, who ultimately slept with him!
Why, of all things!
After meticulously planning every detail, she had inadvertently played into the hands of another woman?!
Quivering with anger, Sadie's fists clenched so tightly that her nails scored her flesh.
She gritted her teeth and compelled herself to regain her composure as she observed the woman on the screen.
It was alright. What significance did it hold if they spent the night together? Ariana Likely didn't recognize Holden's face. The intoxicating aroma could obscure one's faculties, rendering them a body driven purely by desire.
Moreover, Ariana entered the room before Holden, a time when the drug's effects were most potent. Ariana's clarity of mind had likely evaporated by the time Holden appeared.
A cold smile curled on Sadie's Lips.
Additionally, if Ariana had truly recognized Holden, she wouldn't have maintained such composure. She wouldn't have come for the interview at BRD either.
Holden was probably unaware as well. Otherwise, given his disposition, he would have dismissed Ariana as a gold digger, thwarting her proximity to Adele.
With these thoughts in mind, Sadie found a semblance of equilibrium, although the flames of hatred still blazed in her eyes.
No, things weren't supposed to go on like this! Sooner or later, their paths would intersect. She had to devise a method to oust Ariana from Eleymond!
Meanwhile, as Holden concluded the meeting and exited the conference room, he saw Shawn waiting by the doorway. Baffled, he inquired,
“What brings you here?"
Shawn covered the distance in a few strides and spoke.
"Mr. Fredrick,
Miss Edwards came to collect Melon; astonishingly, Adele wants to accompany her badly."
“What did you say?" Holden's eyebrow twitched in response to the unforeseen news, a mixture of surprise and delight on his features.
