“Holden!” Ariana gasped, throwing herself into his arms.
“Why did you pretend to be Fraser? You said you'd meetat the banquet! | was searching everywhere for you
and couldn't find you.
| thought something bad happened! I've been worried sick for so long...”
Tears filled Ariana’s eyes and soaked Holden's collar as she spoke.
“I know,” Holden replied gently, wiping her tears and giving her a soft ki*s on the forehead.
“But | couldn't risk Bennett getting suspicious, so | didn’t talk to you.
Ariana wrapped her arms around his neck, finding comfort.

When Nelly fired, Fraser had shielded her from the bloody scene.
Now, she understood why he had done that, knowing Fraser was actually Holden in disguise.
Thinking of this, Ariana suddenly remembered Adrian, who had helped her escape.
“Where's Adrian?” she asked Holden anxiously.
With Ariana’s anxiety about Adrian weighing heavily on his mind, Holden was resolute in ensuring his friend
faced no danger.
He decisively said, “Let’s go and pick him up immediately.
The car swiftly departed from the manor.
“Adrian, how are you?” Holden tried to contact Adrian through a wireless headset, but there was only silence on
the other end.
“Adrian, can you hear me?” Holden persisted, but there was no response.
Ariana’s intuition told her something was wrong.
She feared that Adrian might already be suspected by Bennett, who was vigilant.
“Could Adrian be in trouble?” Ariana’s worry was evident.
She hated the idea of anyone facing danger because of her.
Holden, sharing Ariana’s concern for Adrian’s safety, tried to reassure her, “Don’t stress too much now.
Let’s go to the meeting point first and try contacting him later.

“Okay, that’s our only option,” Ariana said, her brow furrowed with concern.

If Adrian fell into Bennett's hands, the consequences would be dire.
Reflecting on her tin the manor and Bennett's unsettling behavior, Ariana shuddered involuntarily.
She could only silently pray, hoping Adrian remained safe and unharmed.
Meanwhile, once Adrian felt certain he had outmaneuvered Bennett's surveillance, he discarded his disguise and
hurried toward the meeting point agreed upon with Holden.
He had expected to leave through the gate without trouble.
But suddenly, he heard a commotion behind him, along with voices.
“Have you found him?”
“No.
“Damn it! Where did that fake Kamdyn go?”
“Stop swearing and look for him! Our lives are on the line!”
