Chapter 1654

Standing beside Bennett, Holden clutched his chest and gazed calmly at Moss.

Though Moss’ words were cutting, it was clear he was no longer as suspicious of Holden as before.

Holden remained calm, yet inwardly, he smirked, confident that his strategy had proven effective.

Moss continued to sneer at Holden, heedless of Holden’s dignity.

“Everyone desires a fierce eagle as a guardian, but I prefer a loyal watchdog that barks when needed.

“An eagle might one day turn its sharp beak against its master, but no matter how fierce a dog, it cannot leap as high.

Holden bowed his head, appearing docile like a submissive dog obeying its master’s commands.

Yet behind his back, he clenched his fists tightly.

He understood he must endure this humiliation until he found Ariana.

As Moss concluded his scathing remarks, Holden caught Bennett’s chuckle.
