Chapter: 1470
His phone interrupted the revelry, a resonant voice emanating from the other end.
"Mr. Fredrick, it appears Holden is taking decisive action, utilizing the dark web to delve into past matters. How shall we proceed?"
With a raised eyebrow, Zayden sat on his inflatable float and casually pushed the beautiful woman nestled in his arms into the pool.
"As we discussed earlier, let's stir that water up a bit," he said with a complicated expression.
Afterward, he hung up the call.
Looking at the woman in the pool, Zayden stroked her head gently.
After a short while, he got up, cigar in hand, and walked to a quieter spot. Once away from any noise, Zayden nonchalantly dialed Sadie's number.
"Hello, how is it progressing with the documents? You either show me your loyalty soon enough, or I won't be able to help you," Zayden said. He paused for a short while and added, "By the way, just so you know, Holden is trying to dig up information about you on the dark web."
The bracelet incident had made Sadie quite anxious, and Zayden's call didn't make her feel better. Sadie quickly replied in a hushed voice, "I will do what you asked as quickly as possible. You can't let Holden know the truth about me, please. I'm begging you."
Zayden scoffed and replied casually, "I want those documents."
Sadie didn't think twice and said, "Three days! Please, help me. I promise to get the information within three days."
“Alright, I'll give you three more days!" With that, Zayden abruptly hung up.
Seeing that Zayden had ended the call, Sadie angrily threw her phone onto the couch. At this moment, her heart was filled with nervousness and fear, and her fingers trembled uncontrollably.
She couldn't figure out where things had gone wrong. Why would Holden suddenly have suspicions about her at this critical moment, to the point where he even resorted to the dark web to investigate her?
She had been part of the Fredrick family for almost a year, and Holden had never doubted her before. Why had he suddenly started having doubts now? She figured he must have discovered something that had raised his suspicions, and she was determined to find out what it was.
Sadie's heart was pounding. She had fabricated a considerable amount of background information for herself, making connections wherever she could. She had even managed to create fake friends and relatives.
Although her efforts had been thorough, she knew full well that none of this fabricated information would withstand Holden's scrutiny.
Furthermore, the fact that he chose to use the dark web meant that he would quickly discover everything and expose her.
While she was in intense anxiety, Sadie's gaze fell on Adele, who was playing in the garden.
She clenched her fists, and her eyes flashed with firm determination.
