Chapter 1185
As they watched the televised spectacle, Judy couldn’t resist indulging in a bit of gossip surrounding the enigmatic affluent family. She quipped, “Miss Pierre has truly struck gold, it seems.
Word has it she surfaced out of nowhere with a child a year ago, asserting Adele’s lineage as Holden’s offspring. Just like that, she seamlessly became a part of the Fredrick family.”
Ariana, taken aback by this revelation, inquired, “Did Adele only rejoin the Fredrick family a year ago?”
Judy affirmed with a nod.
“Indeed. Who could have foreseen Sadie’s existence before? Rumor has it, Sadie and Holden were together five years ago, albeit kept apart by Aldus. Subsequently, Sadie bore their child independently, awaiting Aldus’s passing before daring to introduce the child to the Fredrick family.”
Ariana’s brow furrowed in perplexity upon absorbing this revelation.
Everything about this seemed bizarre. If Holden and Sadie shared a genuine bond, he hadn’t made an effort to seek out Sadie during those five years. Even if they desired privacy, the sudden appearance of Sadie and their child without prior contact appeared incongruous.
Why had Sadie waited until now to introduce the child to the Fredrick family?

Her understanding of Holden led her to believe that he wasn’t easily swayed or manipulated. If their love had been steadfast, even Aldus’ potential interference should not have deterred Holden from granting Sadie a proper status long before this moment.
A nagging sense of unease gnawed at Ariana, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
After a brief contemplation, Ariana shook her head, dismissing her doubts. What purpose would it serve to find this situation strange?
It was a matter between Holden and Sadie, who were getting married soon.
She opted not to dwell further on the matter and instead engaged Judy in conversation about different topics.
In the midst of their discussion, Ariana’s phone rang, bearing the caller ID of the movie director. She answered, hearing a palpable sense of despair in his voice.
“What should we do? Sadie has chosen to withdraw from the film, citing her intention to focus on wedding preparations. We didn’t dare to object.”
Upon hearing the director’s words, Ariana was rendered truly speechless. She even entertained the suspicion that Sadie’s decision might have been deliberate, designed to thwart her efforts and squander her money. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Following a period of the director venting his frustration, he appeared on the brink of tears as he asked, “What should we do now?
We reached out to the original actress, but she’s no longer available.”
Ariana paused briefly before responding, “Commence shooting Tyler’s scenes first. Regarding the actress, I’ll endeavor to identify a solution and secure a replacement.”
The director expressed his gratitude repeatedly before concluding the call.
