NovelEnglishChapter 1248 Zayden hadn't anticipated Holden turning the tables using the hidden microphone.
With incriminating photos stacked against him, any explanation would certainly turn out futile. Zayden made an effort to remain calm.
He secretly wished he had never gotten close to Sadie.
It was this woman that he blamed for luring him in! Struggling to keep his cool, he said, "Maybe there's a misunderstanding? Can't we talk this out.
The photos..." "Enough! I don't want to hear any excuses," Holden interrupted, uninterested in Zayden's justifications.
His priority was wrapping things up swiftly to find Ariana.

"No way this is a mix-up, Zayden," he said.

It makes people gullible with prolonged use.
Sadie widened her eyes in shock, shooting Zayden an irate glare.
"What? That's not what you toldwhen you gave it to me!" Zayden's face darkened instantly, cursing inwardly at Sadie's foolishness.
With a stern expression, he snapped, "Zip it!" Meanwhile, Holden remained composed.

Before Holden could speak, Sadie, terrified, shook her head, stepping back.
"No, Holden, you can't do this.

I did it under duress.
You're the o nly one I love.

But at that moment, the door swung open unexpectedly.
Holden's gaze darted toward the entrance, and he saw Ariana with a bleeding forehead standing there.
Beside her stood the middle-aged woman who had previously greeted him as "Young Master" at the hospital.
Ariana stared blankly at the figure in the room resembling Theodore.
Tears streamed down her face, mixing with the blood.
Drop by drop, they fell to the floor.
Holden, taken aback by Ariana's sudden appearance, was about to speak when the middle-aged woman urged, "Madam, we must go to the hospital now!"
