Chapter 1171
After a short while, he got up, cigar in hand, and walked to a quieter spot. Once away from any noise, Zayden nonchalantly dialed Sadie’s number.
“Hello, how is it progressing with the documents? You either show me your loyalty soon enough, or | won't be able to help you,” Zayden said. He paused for a short while and added, “By the way, just so you know, Holden is trying to dig up information about you on the dark web.”
The bracelet incident had made Sadie quite anxious, and Zayden’s call didn’t make her feel better. Sadie quickly replied ina hushed voice, “I will do what you asked as quickly as possible. You can’t let Holden know the truth about me, please. I'm begging you.”
Zayden scoffed and replied casually, “I want those documents.” Sadie didn’t think twice and said, “Three days! Please, help me. | promise to get the information within three days.” “Alright, I'll give you three more days!” With that, Zayden abruptly hung up.
Seeing that Zayden had ended the call, Sadie angrily threw her phone onto the couch. At this moment, her heart was filled with nervousness and fear, and her fingers trembled uncontrollably.

She had to do something to solidify her position as Holden’s future wife. She couldn’t afford to be exposed now, especially with their wedding approaching.
Thinking of that, Sadie composed herself and put on a smile. Then, she walked over to Adele. She felt that as long as she controlled Adele, she still had leverage on Holden.
That evening, Holden returned home from the hospital.
When he walked inside the villa, he saw Adele in the living room, her face smeared with cake.
Holden's heart melted like butter, and he walked over to wipe his lovely daughter's face as he held her in his arms.
At this time, Adele carefully forked a piece of cake and brought it to Holden's mouth, whispering, “Daddy, eat. Mommy made it.” The content is on noveldrama.org! Read the latest chapter there!
