Holden remained composed. He leveled a cool gaze at Zayden and responded, "The rumors of my demise that you disseminated online-you orchestrated Becker to leak them, correct? There's no denying that fact. Besides you, who else was aware of my ‘demise’? You orchestrated the entire scheme, so how can you claim it's a misunderstanding now?"

Dumbfounded, Zayden turned to Becker and questioned, "What is he talking about?"

Becker offered an apologetic smile and confessed, "I apologize, Zayden. I've been in Holden's employ since the beginning. Please don't hold it against me; it's simply the nature of the business."

Subsequently, Becker revealed the entire chat history between himself and Zayden.

It was glaringly evident now that Zayden had sparked the media frenzy surrounding Holden's alleged demise.
