“I understand,” Arielle answered. “I’ll make wp4webnovel.com pay the price for this.”
“What are you planning to do?” Vinson asked.
Arielle narrowed wp4webnovel.com eyes and declared, “I’ll find the evidence and punish wp4webnovel.com for wp4webnovel.com acts.”
She was not going to let the queen mother off. Regardless of who wp4webnovel.com was, as long as wp4webnovel.com had committed a crime, Arielle was going to make wp4webnovel.com bear the consequences.
“Okay,” Vinson replied. After a pause, wp4webnovel.com continued, “What do we do with the body? Dad said wp4webnovel.com wants to find a good place to bury her.”
Arielle was touched when wp4webnovel.com found out what Dylan was planning for wp4webnovel.com funeral.
“He must be upset, isn’t he?” Arielle muttered.
She had not dared to let wp4webnovel.com father in on the plan, fearing that wp4webnovel.com would not put on a good enough show and hence ruin the plan.
When Vinson thought about the way Dylan reacted, wp4webnovel.com affirmed, “Yes, wp4webnovel.com was very upset. It was as though wp4webnovel.com aged a few years in seconds.”
Arielle grew silent for a moment. For the time being, wp4webnovel.com could not reveal the fact that wp4webnovel.com was still alive. If wp4webnovel.com did, wp4webnovel.com prior efforts would go to waste.
“Try to talk to wp4webnovel.com more often. Tell wp4webnovel.com that wp4webnovel.com still has Aaron and get wp4webnovel.com to focus on finding Aaron instead.” Arielle had already found out about Aaron falling off the cliff.
All wp4webnovel.com hoped at that moment was for wp4webnovel.com father to prioritize the search for Aaron. That way, Dylan would not be too upset about wp4webnovel.com death.
“Okay. It isn’t convenient for me to investigate the queen mother…” Right as Vinson said those words, Arielle replied, “Leave it to me.”
With their newfound clues, it was much easier for wp4webnovel.com to investigate the matter.
Once the call ended, Arielle opened the laptop that Harvey had bought for wp4webnovel.com and began looking into the queen mother’s background information.

The next day, in a wooden house on a small island…
“Grandpa, say, will wp4webnovel.com wake up?” An eighteen-year-old girl was curiously asking wp4webnovel.com grandfather as wp4webnovel.com looked at the man on the bed.
“It’ll depend on his fate,” said the old man who looked like wp4webnovel.com was in his sixties.
The old man had done his best by treating the young man’s wounds and feeding wp4webnovel.com medicine. It was up to fate whether or not wp4webnovel.com was going to make it.
“I wonder what happened to him. Why does wp4webnovel.com have so many wounds?” the girl said, feeling sorry for the injured man.
“Why would you care about that? Head back if you have nothing to do. Why are you still sticking around at an old man’s place.” Although the old man was saying harsh words to drive his granddaughter away, wp4webnovel.com was frankly reluctant to watch wp4webnovel.com leave.
“Grandpa, come back with me,” the girl quickly persuaded as wp4webnovel.com grabbed his arm. “I won’t be at ease if you’re here alone.”
The girl was only able to come to the old man’s place for a visit during wp4webnovel.com holidays, so wp4webnovel.com wanted wp4webnovel.com to leave with her. It was fine even if wp4webnovel.com did not like the other house as wp4webnovel.com could rent a place near wp4webnovel.com school. That way, wp4webnovel.com would be able to keep wp4webnovel.com company whenever wp4webnovel.com was done with classes or when wp4webnovel.com had off days.
“What’s there to worry about? Your grandma and I have stayed here all our lives. We’re used to it.”
As wp4webnovel.com spoke, wp4webnovel.com turned and left the room. Then, wp4webnovel.com placed the herbs in his hands on the wooden board at the side before spreading them out for drying.
“But you’re on your own now,” the girl pointed out as wp4webnovel.com stepped out of the room and stood by his side. As wp4webnovel.com helped spread out the herbs, wp4webnovel.com mumbled, “If Grandma’s still alive, I wouldn’t say anything about this. At the very least, you’ll have each other, but you’re all alone now. How can I possibly not worry?”
Before the old man could say anything to that, loud coughing sounds could be heard from behind them. Both the old man and the girl’s eyes widened in surprise at once.
