Chapter 971
Ariana didn’t want to cause any trouble to the delivery guy, so she accepted the parcel, albeit reluctantly! She planned to return it to Holden after talking to him.
She quickly signed the form and took the item inside.
As soon as Ariana closed the door, she immediately took out her phone to call Holden.
It took her a while to find Holden’s contact details in her contact list.
Ariana chose to take a friendly approach.
Because of this, she did not dive directly into the matter of the package.
Instead, she first sent a friendly greeting.
However, when she pressed “send”, the system displayed a message stating that the account had been deactivated.
Ariana was stunned.
Why would Holden deactivate his account? No wonder she hadn’t received any notifications about him in years.
Luckily, she had taken Shawn’s contact information during their last business discussion.
So, Ariana decided to message Shawn instead.
“Mr.
Williams, I received a parcel today and I need to know if it is a gift from Mr.
Fredrick!”
Shawn’s reply came almost immediately.
“Yes, Mr.
Fredrick saw that Melon liked collectible figurines and the like, so he sent this one.
This model is from a new collection developed by the subsidiary of the Fredrick Group.
”
Ariana was about to send another message to Shawn, telling him that she couldn’t accept the gift, but before she could do so, another message from Shawn arrived.
“The situation with Simms has been resolved.
He will not make any public appearance for some time.
Additionally, Mr.
Fredrick is now aware of the truth regarding Miss Pierre’s actions towards Melon.
All our apologies for the inconvenience.
”
After reading Shawn’s message, Ariana deleted the message she was already typing.
She sent another message that read, “So, is this model a peace token that Mr.
Fredrick sent on behalf of his fiancée?”
‘s
Shawn seemed to be taken aback by Ariana’s remark as his response didn’t come as quickly this time.
However, after a few seconds, he replied with a “LOL”, followed by a laughing emoji.
This was a little awkward.
Ariana noticed that typing indicator on the chat log was still active, so she patiently waited for Shawn’s message.
After a while, another message appeared.

“Mr.
Fredrick has asked Miss Pierre to reflect on her actions.
This gift is just a token of affection for Melon.
Mr.
Fredrick really likes him and they get along well.
”
Everybody could brag about receiving a gift from the CEO of the Fredrick Group!
However, Ariana wasn’t overwhelmed by the gift and although she appreciated the kind gesture, she still couldn’t bring herself to accept it.
“This gift is too precious.
Please ask Mr.
Fredrick to take it back,” she messaged Shawn.
Shawn replied quickly in his usual professional tone, “Mr.
Fredrick says that once a gift has been given, there’s no reason to take it back.
”
Ariana frowned as she read the message.
She couldn’t help but wonder why Holden was so obstinate.
Although she was still not reconciled, she couldn’t urge Shawn further.
So, she asked directly, “Could you please provide me with Mr.
Fredrick’s contact information? I’d like to talk to him directly.
