“Since you're convinced of your unwavering love for Holden, let's see how things pan out!"

With that, Zayden rose to his feet, ready to exit. He turned to his loyal assistant and issued a command, “Send a copy of the surveillance footage from the lounge to Holden."

Upon hearing this, Sadie's eyes blazed with fury, and she couldn't restrain her agitation. She bellowed, "You dare!"

"What do I have to lose? I stand to gain, and I get to enjoy the Show!!" Zayden remarked, raising an eyebrow as he shot a glance at Sadie.

Trembling with infurdation, Sadie locked eyes with Zayden.

With a calm demeanor, he signaled to his assistant to step aside and, with indifference, addressed her, "You seem quite worked up. It doesn't look Like you're ready to join the Fredrick clan just yet.

Relax, I accept you as my cousin-in-Law. You and Holden have been an item for so long now. Just arrange a wedding with him, obtain your marriage certificate, and everything will fall into place. What's there to fret about?"

Zayden offered these reassuring words, and gradually, Sadie regained her composure. She understood that Zayden was employing a mix of persuasion and pressure for a specific purpose. Taking a deep breath, she inquired, “After all this talk, what is it that you truly desire?"

Zayden grinned, settling back into his seat.

“It's quite straightforward. I came to you hoping for a partnership."

Sadie collected herself and sat, holding her coffee cup and probing, “What are you proposing?"

“I can help you smoothly ascend to the position of the Fredrick family's young mistress, and I won't let Holden in on any of the past, but there's a little favor you'd need to do for me as well,”

Zayden stated calmly, revealing his true intentions.

Sadie fell silent momentarily before inquiring, "And what is this favor you're asking of me?"

Zayden continued in his unhurried manner as if the request he was making was of little consequence.

"In Holden's study, there lies a certain document. I'd like you to get it for me.”

Sadie instantly grew wary, her gaze fixed intently on Zayden.

"What kind of document is it, and why are you so keen on having it?

“Why the jitters?" Zayden chuckled lightly.

"It's nothing more than a small document, hardly a needle in a haystack when it comes to jeopardizing Holden's standing within the Fredrick family. It's simply a personal matter between him and me."
