Chapter 903
Sadie walked into the elevator with Adele in her arms.
However, the moment the elevator doors closed, her smile vanished instantly.
She had assumed that Ariana would be devastated or institutionalized after what happened five years ago.
But Ariana seemed to be thriving.
Sadie was seething, but she remained confident.
It didn’t matter that Ariana was back! The past was gone.
Holden had long forgotten Ariana.
Now, she was the only woman in his life, and she had several trump cards to keep herself in that position.
What did she have to fear?
A cold glimmer flashed through Sadie’s eyes as she gently stroked Adele’s hair.
Meanwhile, in the conference room, a tense Holden sat in the head seat, checking his watch frequently.
The partners he was expecting were already nearly ten minutes late.
Just when he couldn’t wait anymore, his phone rang.
Holden’s brows furrowed slightly when he saw the caller ID.
He nonetheless answered the call.
Whatever his interlocutor told him instantly drained every color from his face.
He hung up and stood to leave immediately.
Just then, the conference room door swung open.
A shareholder entered from outside just as Holden was about to leave.
He immediately apologized, “I’m sorry, Mr.
Fredrick, something came up, and I’m late.
”
Holden appeared uninterested in dealing with him at the moment.
He turned to another director and said, “Please handle everything, Mr.
Waterhouse.
”
With that, he made a hasty exit from the conference room.
As Holden stepped into his private elevator, another elevator opened simultaneously, revealing Ariana and two others disembarking.
Ariana’s thoughts were intricate, uncertain about the forthcoming interaction with Holden.
She was curious about his appearance and wondered if he would be unmasked this time.
‘s
She had a hunch that someone in such a high-ranking position would possess profound insights beyond ordinary comprehension.
Moreover, with his troublesome fiancée, Sadie, Ariana foresaw that this collaboration would likely be quite vexing.
Upon entering the conference room, Ariana instinctively surveyed the room before fixating her gaze on the figure at the head of the table.

To her astonishment, a kindly and gentle countenance met her gaze.
Time had turned his hair gray, and his face bore the marks of years gone by.
Ariana was taken aback.
Could this man truly be Holden?!
Her mind went momentarily blank.
Just then, Mr.
Waterhouse said, “Mr.
Fredrick has urgent matters to attend to, so I will be in charge of the negotiations this time.
”
Hearing this, Ariana couldn’t help but let out a relieved sigh.
