Holden leaned over and landed a soft kiss on her forehead. Then, sitting beside her, he coaxed her to go back to sleep.

The night had passed, but Holden still didn't receive any response from the people that he had sent. The program crew was also increasingly anxious about the situation.

If Mitchel had indeed been in an accident, they would not only had to pay a hefty compensation bill, but they would also be at a risk of offending the Chadwick family. If their relationship with the Chadwick family soured in the future, they might even face criminal charges. The director was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night.

At the same time, Jolie was still under guard, and she was scared to death.

Back then, she had only wanted to snap a few photos by the door; she had never thought things would end up like this. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have done that.

Jolie continued to cry, her eyes turning red and swollen. There probably was no one on the cruise who was as desperate as her to see them return safely.

Seeing this, Jennifer thought Jolie deserved it.

After everything that had happened, the program couldn't continue filming. The crew decided to send the guests back immediately. She packed her belongings, ready to leave. Adrian followed closely behind her. What was once a promising program had turned into chaos.

In the hospital, Holden and Ariana had just finished breakfast when Shawn came in.

Shawn greeted Ariana. Then, he turned to Holden and said, "Mr. Fredrick, there are some urgent matters in the company you need to deal with."

Holden nodded and stood up. He walked out of the ward, followed by Shawn.

As soon as they reached the corridor, he said, "Go ahead."

“The news about the death of the leader of Fredrick Group has spread online, saying there would be changes within the Fredrick Group. The public opinion is gaining momentum. The opponents are very fast,"

Shawn reported.

When Holden heard this, he sneered, "Can't they wait even for one night? They are so impatient."

Shawn asked, “Mr. Fredrick, should we deal with it? Maybe we should suppress the news?”

“Don't bother," Holden said plainly. “The bigger the fuss, the better. This way, they will really believe that the one in charge of the BRD Group is gone."

After a pause, he added, "Bring Adele here secretly. Don't let anyone know."

"Understood." Shawn nodded and then left to carry out Holden's orders.

In the ward, Ariana was checking the news on her phone and also came across relevant reports. Not only online media platforms but also television and newspapers reported it.

It caught the attention of numerous financial bloggers. They had shared the news. Various analysis videos had circulated. Many people speculated that the Fredrick family's shake-up would impact many industries.

However, some netizens were not convinced. They commented, “Isn't Holden too mysterious? I hadn't even seen what he looked like before he died. It makes it hard for me to believe he ever really existed."

"That's right. It feels so sudden."

“Why is there no information about his death? We also want to know."

"It seems Like major news. Does anyone know the truth? Come out and expose it."

Some people even went to Sadie's account and left comments about the news.

Coincidentally, Sadie had posted a photo of a delicate dessert around ten o'clock last night. Nothing seemed amiss.

One of the netizens posted, "I think it's fake news. Sadie is a person who likes to show off her identity. She won't be this calm if something has happened to her fiancé. Maybe Holden is fine."

“Have you forgotten what happened before? Maybe Holden has no feelings for Sadie. So, she still doesn't know that something has happened to Holden."

Ariana was reading the comments when Holden returned to the ward. She said, “The Internet is spreading rumors that you're dead. Should we address it?"

"No. Don't worry. It's still under control." Holden smiled, rubbed Ariana's head, and sat down.

Ariana said, "Can you peel an apple for me?"

"Sure." Holden quickly started to peel an apple for Ariana.

Ariana continued browsing through her phone. After a while, she felt bored, so she thought of checking Helen's old account.

At this moment, Holden had finished peeling the apple. He handed it to Ariana while glancing at the screen of her phone. He was surprised to see Helen's name. "Helen Clarke?" he exclaimed.
