Ariana took a moment to reflect and sent a heartfelt message. “I am grateful to you, not just for
returning my mother’s necklace, but also for coming to my rescue twice before. You have a kind heart,
and I believe that goodness will always be rewarded. The universe is just, and even if you have lost
something, you will surely gain something else in return.”
As Ariana typed away, she felt confident in the wisdom of her words. She believed that the universe
was indeed just and that even though Holden had suffered a great loss in his physical appearance, he
had been blessed with immense wealth.
With that in mind, she added, “Perhaps by being surrounded by more beautiful things, your perspective
will change and you’ll even be able to make some friends.”

everything, she thought that being too straightforward might make him feel uncomfortable.
Holden took a moment to read her message, and then replied, “I will try. I’m feeling much more relaxed
now, and I could even say I’m happy because you didn’t blacklist me.”
Reading this response, Ariana couldn’t help but feel sorry for Holden.
It seemed that what Jennifer had said was accurate: he was a lonely man who was devoid of friends
and love.
Theodore gazed at the phone waiting for a response. The absence of a reply left him wondering. Had
he said something wrong?
He waited for a few minutes and finally received a cat emoji from Ariana. The cat emoji meant to offer
some comfort.
Theodore rubbed his chin, as he pondered over the reason for her sending this emoji, speculating that
she might feel guilty for blocking him earlier.
His mood brightened and a smile graced his face. He eagerly tapped the screen and asked, “Does this
mean we’re friends now?”
However, Ariana did not reply to his message.
Theodore set aside the phone momentarily and took out another one from his pocket to call Adrian.
As soon as the call was connected, Theodore was greeted by the sounds of heavy machinery.
He pulled the phone away with a grimace and quickly spoke into the microphone “You’re lucky to have
a good fiancee. You can head back home tomorrow.”
He hung up the call and checked the phone on the desk to see if Ariana had responded, but there was
no reply.

Just then, there was a knock at the door, and Horace entered with a grave expression, saying, “Boss,
we have a problem.”
A throng of reporters swarmed the exit of the Ivebridge airport, where Molly and Alina were trapped in
the center of the crowd.
The flashing lights from the cameras left Alina feeling intimidated and she clung to Molly for protection.
Despite Molly’s protests, the reporters continued to hurl questions at them, one after the other.
“Is the baby in your arms Sarah’s daughter? There’s a photo of her circulating online and it looks like
she has a facial deformity. What’s the deal?” one reporter asked.
Molly shot back, “That’s utter nonsense! She’s perfectly fine! You, paparazzi, will say anything just to
get attention and drive up your web traffic!” Though she was furious, Molly was unable to stand up
against the horde of reporters on her own.
The reporter continued to press on, “If the child isn’t disfigured, why not show her face?”
