"She is not a mistress."

These few words immediately caused an uproar. The netizens commented one after another.

“Damn it! Holden personally verified it this time. He must be telling the truth."

“What does he mean by saying Ariana is not a mistress? What about Sadie? Is it possible that Holden has broken up with Sadie long ago?"

“Sadie always says she is Holden's fiancée, right? But Holden's words just now surely deny it. What exactly is going on here?"

"Are Sadie and Zayden together? If they are, Holden and Ariana can be together, too, right?"

Holden's comment sparked a myriad of understanding among netizens, igniting a whirlwind of comments that swept through the online world, creating an instant uproar.

At the same time, Holden had discovered something in the investigation.

He furrowed his brow as he looked at the report in his hand. “Are you suggesting it was someone close to Zayden?" he inquired.

The subordinate's nod was decisive. "Indeed, sir. The phone number's owner has never changed."

Holden just nodded.

The phone number he had obtained from the sanatorium had been traced back to an assistant of Zayden.

How could Zayden possibly be linked to Helen?

Holden was lost in thought. Why were Zayden and Helen both involved in this matter? Moreover, Marianna's transfer to another hospital coincided with Sadie and Zayden coming together.

A myriad of possibilities raced through Holden's mind, yet his memory loss obscured any recollection of the past connections and relationship between himself and Helen.

Feeling down, he called Adrian.

Adrian answered the call promptly, his voice warm and reassuring.

"What a coincidence! I'm actually heading to your place right now. We can discuss everything in person."

Holden agreed and hung up the phone.

In the study, Holden's fingers traced delicate patterns on the lollipop stick, his gaze fixed on the window as he was lost in a sea of thoughts.
