Chapter 1065
They were not alone in this. The curious onlookers online were equally taken aback.
While the presented evidence seemed solid, there were still those who harbored doubts, finding these allegations almost too incredible to believe. Understanding Sadie’s motivations for such actions remained an enigma to them.
“| find it perplexing why Sadie would descend to personally sabotage Ariana’s team,” someone commented.
“Indeed,” chimed in another, “Sadie is the fiancée of the CEO of the Fredrick Group. What could she possibly hope to achieve?” ninjanovel.com
“She’s a renowned celebrity in her own right; surely, she wouldn’t engage in such a reputation-damaging act, would she?”
Despite many struggling to grasp Sadie’s motives, the evidence presented, including transaction records, call logs, and chat histories, all appeared undeniably authentic, serving as incontrovertible proof.
While shock gripped the rest, Ariana remained poised, savoring her meal with composure.
Her astonishment had begun when she overheard the tall man’s phone call with Sadie. Swiftly, she had recruited him to her side and offered to purchase the evidence at a premium.
Luckily, the man’s sole motivation was financial gain, and Sadie’s reluctance to settle the payment had left him frustrated. Ariana generously accepted his terms, and he assured her that everything would proceed smoothly upon receiving payment.
However, his remarkable efficiency hinted at a hidden card he had kept during his dealings with Sadie. Nonetheless, Ariana remained bewildered by the vehement opposition she faced from Sadie.
Initially, she had sensed Sadie’s animosity through intuition, anticipating some degree of hostility, but never expecting such extreme measures.
The burning question lingered: Why? Could it be because of Holden?
Yet, since her return to the country, Ariana hadn't even crossed paths with Holden, and there existed no genuine animosity between them. There seemed to be no solid reason for Sadie to target her so relentlessly.
With these thoughts in mind, Ariana couldn't help but recall the sudden surge in their vote count during the online voting earlier that day.
Could Holden be behind this?
Ariana couldn't say for certain. She felt that Holden didn’t have a compelling reason to assist her, but she couldn't pinpoint who else might be involved. She decided to shake her head, dismissing the idea for now.
Across town, Holden had just concluded some business matters and was en route to his residence when Shawn approached him.
“Mr. Fredrick, there’s a situation involving Miss Pierre. Would you like to take a Look?”
Shawn extended his phone towards Holden, the screen ablaze with the incriminating article concerning Sadie.
“Somebody has exposed Miss Pierre for manipulating the audience voting, specifically targeting Miss Edwards’s team. I’ve already verified it, and it’s indeed Miss Pierre’s doing.”
Holden fell silent for a moment, then pushed the phone away with a trace of annoyance. His brow furrowed as he finally spoke, “Go and manage public opinion.”
“Understood. To what extent should we control it?” Shawn inquired professionally.
“Don't permit it to blossom into a full-blown scandal,” Holden replied, his tone steady and even.
