Chapter 1404: Chapter 1414

Upon hearing Holden’s surprised tone, Ariana was taken aback.

She turned to him with wide eyes and asked, “You know Helen? Have you remembered anything?”

After she finished speaking, she sat up with a smile, eager and expectant.

However, Holden simply shook his head and replied, “I only learned her name from Adrian two days ago.

”

Handing Ariana the peeled apple and wiping the fruit knife with a tissue, Holden asked, “Why are you suddenly checking Helen’s account? Adrian mentioned that our relationship with her doesn’t seem great.

”

Ariana glanced at Helen’s picture before discreetly slipping her phone into her pocket to keep it hidden from Holden.

Taking a bite of the apple, she said, “Helen vanished without a trace five years ago, and there’s been no word since.

It just feels odd to me.

Based on what I know, she wouldn’t just let you slip away easily.

Even if she didn’t know you survived the car accident, she’d surely return to investigate.

It’s just not like her to vanish without a trace.

”

As Ariana spoke, she remembered how Helen had been obsessed with Holden.

“She used to be obsessed with you.

She went a bit overboard, faking that her heart disease didn’t heal and ruining her own face to keep us apart.

You must have really caught her eye.

”

Caught off guard, Holden cleared his throat and swiftly switched topics.

“Any updates on her whereabouts? Why do you suddenly want to investigate her?”

Hearing that, Ariana hesitated again.

She knew she held the special place in Holden’s heart, and she could see that Holden wasn’t kind to Sadie.

However, despite this, Sadie had given birth to Adele for Holden.

Besides, Ariana didn’t have enough evidence to back up her hunch.

If she mentioned it to Holden now, it might seem as if she were stirring up trouble between him and Sadie.

Ariana was unsure whether to speak up or not.

Seeing her expression, Holden smiled and asked, “What’s wrong? What’s making you hesitate? If something’s bothering you, feel free to share, and we’ll deal with it together.

”

After hearing that, Ariana paused for a moment and slowly said, “I think Sadie and Helen bear a striking resemblance.

”

Holden pondered for a moment and asked, “Is it because of her heart condition?”

Ariana nodded and said, “It’s not just that; they also share the same personality traits and handle situations similarly.

But what really makes me suspicious is that Sadie’s had plastic surgery.

”

Ariana shared with Holden the materials she had collected from the hospital.

“I started to get suspicious after learning about her plastic surgery.

At first, I thought it was typical for celebrities, but then, I stumbled upon her medical records.

I was so intrigued that I secretly took a photo of them…”

Ariana remained somewhat uncertain.

She gestured towards the document on her phone and said, “But she’s had so many plastic surgeries.

She’s almost transformed into someone else.

”

After glancing at the document and pondering for a moment, Holden turned to Ariana and said, “Send this document to me.

”

Ariana nodded and sent it to Holden, who then forwarded it to Shawn with a request: “Check Sadie’s plastic surgery records at this hospital, including her appearance before the surgeries.

”

After a while, Shawn called.

Holden picked up the call and put it on speaker.

Shawn’s voice came through.

“Mr.

Fredrick, we discovered that the man who performed her surgeries is an experienced doctor.

He seems aware of our investigation into Sadie’s plastic surgery history.

When we tried to consult at the hospital, he claimed the data was gone and refused to share any details, and…”

Shawn paused, and Holden urged, “Continue.

”

“He mentioned Miss Edwards,” Shawn said slowly.

“He advised me to tell her not to waste her time further.

”

Ariana and Holden exchanged silent glances.
