After a short while, he got up, cigar in hand, and walked to a quieter spot.
Once away from any noise, Zayden nonchalantly dialed Sadieâs number.
âHello, how is it progressing with the documents? You either show me your loyalty soon enough, or I wonât be able to help you,â Zayden said.
He paused for a short while and added, âBy the way, just so you know, Holden is trying to dig up information about you on the dark web.
â
The bracelet incident had made Sadie quite anxious, and Zaydenâs call didnât make her feel better.
Sadie quickly replied in a hushed voice, âI will do what you asked as quickly as possible.
You canât let Holden know the truth about me, please.
Iâm begging you.
â
Zayden scoffed and replied casually, âI want those documents.
â
Sadie didnât think twice and said, âThree days! Please, help me.
I promise to get the information within three days.
â
âAlright, Iâll give you three more days!â With that, Zayden abruptly hung up.
Seeing that Zayden had ended the call, Sadie angrily threw her phone onto the couch.
At this moment, her heart was filled with nervousness and fear, and her fingers trembled uncontrollably.
She couldnât figure out where things had gone wrong.
Why would Holden suddenly have suspicions about her at this critical moment, to the point where he even resorted to the dark web to investigate her?
She had been part of the Fredrick family for almost a year, and Holden had never doubted her before.
Why had he suddenly started having doubts now? She figured he must have discovered something that had raised his suspicions, and she was determined to find out what it was.
Sadieâs heart was pounding.
She had fabricated a considerable amount of background information for herself, making connections wherever she could.
She had even managed to create fake friends and relatives.
Although her efforts had been thorough, she knew full well that none of this fabricated information would withstand Holdenâs scrutiny.
Furthermore, the fact that he chose to use the dark web meant that he would quickly discover everything and expose her.
While she was in intense anxiety, Sadieâs gaze fell on Adele, who was playing in the garden.

She clenched her fists, and her eyes flashed with firm determination.
She had to do something to solidify her position as Holdenâs future wife.
She couldnât afford to be exposed now, especially with their wedding approaching.
Thinking of that, Sadie composed herself and put on a smile.
Then, she walked over to Adele.
She felt that as long as she controlled Adele, she still had leverage on Holden.
That evening, Holden returned home from the hospital.
When he walked inside the villa, he saw Adele in the living room, her face smeared with cake.
Holdenâs heart melted like butter, and he walked over to wipe his lovely daughterâs face as he held her in his arms.
At this time, Adele carefully forked a piece of cake and brought it to Holdenâs mouth, whispering, âDaddy, eat.
Mommy made it.
