âBut seriously, why did that happen? Iâm so curious about what went down and why they suddenly changed the groom.
â
Ariana observed the lively gossip unfolding in the group chat, everyone chattering and speculating about the wedding.
Only she and Sonia remained silent.
Currently, save for Sonia, no one else was aware that Holden was, in fact, Theodore.
Ariana had also decided to deliberately keep this information to herself.
Despite confirming Holdenâs true identity as Theodore, Ariana grappled with the uncertainties that lay ahead regarding him, unsure of the implications for their potential future together.
Therefore, she decided to wait until everything had settled before divulging this information to the others.
Sarah shared in the chat group, âNow, Sadie has fallen from being the esteemed bossâ wife of the Fredrick Group to just a wealthy housewife.
Many business partners are no longer giving her the time of day, and I heard she lost almost all the endorsement deals she had secured before.
Itâs really unfortunate.
â
Then, she continued, âBut she deserves it.
Karma has its way of coming around.
She shouldnât have been so against Ariana before.
It serves her right.
â
Betsy replied, âBut this twist is seriously out of the blue.
According to the live reports, it looks like Sadie was caught off guard, too.
She was in tears and seemed devastated.
I mean, she was out there in the media, promoting her marriage to Holden, and Holden hadnât come out to deny it before, either.
â
âIâve heard some rumors that Sadie is having an affair with Zayden.
But then again, itâs all just rumors, and we canât say for sure if theyâre true.
Still, judging from the news, Zaydenâs reaction Looked like he got exposed.
It feels like that could actually be the reason behind all this,â Marge responded.
âSome people also say that this is a result of internal conflict within the Fredrick Group.
Itâs just too complicated, and honestly, I donât quite get it myself.
â
As the group chat buzzed with gossip, Sarah aimed a direct query at Sonia.
âSonia, whatâs really happening? Arenât you paparazzi supposed to have all the inside scoop? Come on, spill some juicy details.
â
Sonia, however, responded with a shaking head emoji, disavowing any insider knowledge, and remarked, âHey, donât ask me.
I didnât capture anything.
I have no idea.
â
Ariana suddenly received an unfamiliar message, which was marked by the presence of three attached photos.
Intrigued, Ariana furrowed her brows and clicked on the message, only to be met with images depicting Sadie and Holden in an intimate embrace, lying naked in bed while asleep.
Arianaâs initial reaction was skepticism, her frown deepening, suspecting the possibility that someone was playing a prank on her with photoshopped images.
She zoomed in on the pictures, scrutinizing them closely, but couldnât detect any traces of them being photoshopped.
âs
The people in the photo were indeed Holden and Sadie.
Ariana felt a pit of unease in her stomach.
Feeling restless, she sent a message back directly, asking, âWho are you? Are you Sadie?â
The sender didnât reveal their identity and sent a bunch of texts to Ariana.
The texts were nothing but a torrent of insults.
âYou wretched woman, shameless slut.
Go to hell.
Your whole family is a bunch of scum.
Better to die soon and spare others your presence.
