A whirlwind of emotions clashed within her, making Arianaâs heart feel like it would shatter under the overwhelming pressure.
Why was Holden the man she had been looking for? He was really Theodore.
Why hadnât he reached out or sought her out even once? Why couldnât he recognize her when he saw her?
Above all, Ariana was unwilling to accept that she would find Theodore again on the day he was marrying someone else.
No, this couldnât be real.
Holden could not be Theodore.
She refused to believe it.
Arianaâs mind was in chaos, incapable of comprehending this bombshell revelation.
Only one resolve crystallized amidst the frantic haze-she had to find Holden and see for herself.
With that thought in mind, she staggered towards her car in a daze.
Judy swiftly stopped her, asking urgently, âWhatâs going on? Where are you off to?â
âThe wedding venue! I have to see it for myself.
I donât believe it!â
Ariana exclaimed, her tone bordering on hysteria.
Judy was worried.
Ariana was evidently emotionally unstable at this point.
Letting her depart like this would surely lead to something regrettable.
But Ariana remained steadfast, refusing to be dissuaded.
Left with no other choice, Judy could only rush after Ariana and hop into the car with her.
The next instant, Ariana pressed down hard on the accelerator, and the car engine roared as the car sped away.
In the preparation room at the wedding venue.
Donned in a bespoke suit, Holden sat on the sofa, his eyes closed as he rested.
Just then, the door swung open, and in walked Zayden.
He glanced at Holden and said, âHolden, congratulations! You are finally getting married to the girl you love.
She looks magnificent today.
â
His words were accompanied by a sneer, and his eyes were filled with mockery and contempt as he spoke.
Holden was unbothered by Zaydenâs sarcastic tone.
âThank you,â he said as he slowly opened his eyes.
Having spoken, Holden disregarded Zayden, paying him no further heed.
