“Yes, I recall. How may I assist you?” she replied.

“Is it possible for you to visit Mr. Fredrick’s residence for an initial face-to-face consultation tomorrow

afternoon?” the man asked.

Taking a moment to ponder, Ariana realized that with the day’s schedule settled, she wouldn’t be

needed directly for tomorrow’s rehearsal. Seeing an opening in her schedule, she assented, requesting

the address and specific time from the caller.

On the top floor of BRD Group’s building, Shawn handed a document to Holden.

“This document holds all the details about Miss Edwards.”

Holden nodded.

“Okay.” He collected it and began flipping through the pages. He then motioned for Shawn to leave

without lifting his gaze from the document.

However, Shawn hesitated, clearly wanting to say something.

Sensing this, Holden looked up, encouraging him to speak.

After a moment of hesitation, Shawn inquired, “Mr. Fredrick, may I ask why you suddenly decided to

investigate Miss Edwards? Is there an issue with the energy project?”

Holden averted his gaze, offering no reply. He merely slid his empty coffee cup toward Shawn,

signaling that further questions were unwelcome.

Shawn understood the cue. He held his silence and promptly fetched a fresh cup of coffee.

Alone in his office, Holden delved into the extensive information on Ariana.

The Fredrick family had large information networks and connections.

It was a compiled comprehensive information about her, including her birthplace, education, and

employment history.

But upon closer examination, Holden noticed certain gaps.

Specifically, there was a missing information about Ariana’s life from her return from studying abroad in

Eleymond to her departure for Melcorn over a year later.

Frowning, Holden suspected Shawn might have dropped some pages. But strangely, the page

numbers were accurate.

Moreover, the document contained the names of Ariana’s friends from her social network, such as

Sonia and Sarah, even though these people were her regular connections. The information appeared

detailed, but Ariana’s husband was absent from the records.

Judging from Ariana’s behavior, Holden couldn’t believe she had reason to deceive him. He also

believed that she genuinely loved the deceased, and Melon’s reaction seemed authentic.

They appeared sincere, leaving Holden to conclude that there was an issue with the data collection.

However, it couldn’t be missing. His information network proved so advanced that it had successfully

uncovered even the hidden safe’s location. Furthermore, it had unearthed details about Ariana’s late

mother, who had passed away over a decade ago. It was inconceivable that it wouldn’t find any

information about her husband.

With a furrowed brow, Holden closed the file and fixed his gaze on the most recent photograph of

Ariana.

The longer he stared at the image, the more a sense of familiarity washed over him. The smiling face in

the photo felt as though it had etched itself vividly into his heart, yet he couldn’t recall any prior

encounter with it.

Holden could feel his heart racing, a sensation he’d never experienced before. It was as if a voice

within him whispered to cherish this name.

Unconsciously, Holden’s fingers reached out to touch the face in the photograph. He had never laid

eyes on this person, yet a single glance moved him profoundly.

Initially, he had dismissed his attraction to her voice. However, now that he beheld her face, he realized

that it wasn’t just her voice that drew him in. It felt like fate’s guiding hand as he felt an attraction both

unbelievable and compelling.

Just then, Shawn entered the room, holding a cup of coffee. He placed it beside Holden and said,

“Devin has arranged for a physical consultation with the child psychologist at the house tomorrow

afternoon.”

Holden nodded, securing the photos and documents in the drawer.

“Reschedule all my appointments for tomorrow afternoon. I’ll be going with Adele to the consultation.”
