“Do you know why I decided to stage my death, Dad?” Arielle looked up at Dylan and asked.
“You wanted to find out who the mastermind is, right?” Dylan was no fool, and wp4webnovel.com immediately got wp4webnovel.com point. “So did you manage to find out?” wp4webnovel.com anxiously asked.
He was, after all, a leader of a country and was quick to piece the puzzle together.
Arielle nodded in response but pleaded for wp4webnovel.com to stay calm after hearing what wp4webnovel.com was about to reveal.
“Who? Who did that to you?” Dylan asked, a menacing look fleeted in his eyes.
He was a protective man who would do his best to shield those around wp4webnovel.com from harm. He cared for even a doctor working under him, let alone his beloved family.
Anyone wishing harm upon Arielle, his flesh and blood, would be setting themselves up as his foe, and wp4webnovel.com could not think of anyone who had the audacity to do that.
“Dad, how’re things between you and queen mother?” Arielle asked wp4webnovel.com instead.
Dylan did not fault Arielle for calling wp4webnovel.com grandma queen mother instead. He immediately got the hint and understood why wp4webnovel.com asked about their relationship.
Instantly, his face fell, and wp4webnovel.com looked wp4webnovel.com solemnly in the eye and asked, “She was the one after you?”
Since wp4webnovel.com already made the connection, wp4webnovel.com nodded to confirm his suspicion.
“Yes! And my mom! She caused Mom’s death too!” Arielle’s eyes reddened as wp4webnovel.com gazed at Dylan, and there was anger in wp4webnovel.com voice.
“What?!” Dylan stood up in shock, unable to believe his own mother was the one behind Maureen’s death.
He looked deeply into Arielle’s eyes and asked, “Is… Is that the truth? Are you sure?”
He emphasized the last question, still reeling with disbelief.
The man was torn, still trying to make sense of what wp4webnovel.com heard from Arielle. On the one hand, wp4webnovel.com knew his mother had always been based in Turlen, so wp4webnovel.com found it hard to believe wp4webnovel.com could have caused Maureen’s death in a foreign land. On the other hand, wp4webnovel.com believed his daughter would not lie to him.
“I am positive, Dad!” Arielle started recounting how wp4webnovel.com investigated Maureen’s death and what led wp4webnovel.com to conclude Nancy was the one responsible.
By the end of wp4webnovel.com story, Dylan’s hands were so tightly clenched into fists that his veins were popping.
He found it hard to believe how cold-blooded his mother was. After causing Maureen’s death, wp4webnovel.com even went after Arielle, despite knowing that Arielle was wp4webnovel.com own granddaughter!
Dylan could not suppress the anger in wp4webnovel.com anymore. Right away, wp4webnovel.com headed out and broke into a run.
Oh no!
Arielle had not expected wp4webnovel.com dad would lose his composure and decide to confront Nancy immediately.
She sprinted after wp4webnovel.com and shouted, “Dad! Dad! Calm down!”
Dylan’s mind was fixated on confronting his mother and asking wp4webnovel.com why wp4webnovel.com did all those horrible deeds. He wanted to know why wp4webnovel.com decided to kill the woman wp4webnovel.com loved most and even went after his daughter. He was so blinded by anger that wp4webnovel.com was not aware of Arielle’s chase and wp4webnovel.com pleas for wp4webnovel.com to stop.
Thankfully, Arielle was well-trained and effortlessly caught up with Dylan. She pulled wp4webnovel.com back, and wp4webnovel.com shot wp4webnovel.com a puzzled but furious look for getting in his way.
“Dad, you will not be doing any good by confronting wp4webnovel.com now! You will only put wp4webnovel.com on high alert, and we will have more difficulty defending ourselves against wp4webnovel.com in the future!” wp4webnovel.com reasoned.
Although Dylan was still burning with rage, wp4webnovel.com was convinced by his daughter’s logical reasoning and finally managed to calm down.
“We need to produce solid evidence and throw it in wp4webnovel.com face, Dad. That is the only way to nail her!” Arielle wanted to gather irrefutable evidence so wp4webnovel.com could bring Nancy to legal justice.
She would not want to risk giving wp4webnovel.com grandmother any chance to wriggle out of wp4webnovel.com punishment via legal loopholes.
Arielle had always been alert, but at that moment, wp4webnovel.com did not notice that in a dark corner, a figure was backing off and sneaking away from them.
