Seeing her dampened dress, Mitchel motioned to a waiter, requesting a blanket, which he gently
wrapped around her.
Ariana regarded him with concer, her voice filled with sincerity. “Dr. Chadwick, what about the wound
on your face?”
Mitchel lightly touched his cheek, his voice calm and composed. “No need to worry.
It’s merely a minor cut.”
Something hit Ariana as she took a deep breath. Her gaze shifted in the direction where Holden had
stood, but all she saw was his retreating back, accompanied by
Adrian.

person she knew. Adrian served as irrefutable evidence. As the vice president of BRD Group, his
identity couldn’t be counterfeited by just anyone.
Yet, Ariana couldn’t help but feel a tinge of disappointment. Had Holden failed to recognize her? Had
he chosen to ignore her presence? Or had he departed because she was there?
She could not comprehend why he hid his true face from her.
“Mitchel, would you like to change your clothes first?” Debora stepped forward, her concern evident as
she spoke. “We should also tend to the cut on your face to prevent any infection, no matter how minor.”
“Indeed, Dr. Chadwick. Allow me to escort you to the lounge. We have prepared clothing for our
esteemed guests,” a waiter chimed in respectfully, having hurried over upon hearing the commotion.
Mitchel nodded, his gaze sweeping the surroundings. Then, looking down at Ariana, he calmly
suggested, “Join me.”
As soon as Mitchel finished speaking, all eyes turned towards Ariana. People were either watching her
or gossiping. Debora, in particular, stood next to Mitchel and winked meaningfully at Ariana, as if
saying, “And you were saying you’re just friends?”
Ariana didn’t know how to respond. It would be embarrassing if she refused him, but why did she go
with him? Why did he change his clothes and take her there?
The waiter, with his sharp eyes, noticed Ariana’s embarrassment and tried to smooth things over.
“Miss, your dress is also stained by the wine. There are spare new lady’s clothes in the lounge. You
can get changed there, by the way. Our hotel’s lounge has two separate dressing rooms, which are
quite convenient.” ©

Once Mitchel and Ariana left, the onlookers could no longer contain their curiosity.
Despite being engrossed in academic research all day, they were also adept at indulging in gossip.
“Mr. Chadwick has never had a romantic involvement with women. What could have happened this
time? Why is he bringing a female companion with him?”
“Who knows? Is he perhaps planning to get married soon? Who is the girl in the wheelchair? Are you
familiar with her?” ©
“I don’t know her personally, but she must have a significant background to capture Mr. Chadwick’s
attention.”
Unable to reach a consensus, they turned to Debora, who had been enjoying the spectacle. “I noticed
you were engaged in a lively conversation with that girl just now. Did you discover anything?”
