“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 snazzynovel.com immediately got snazzynovel.com point. “So did you manage to find out?” snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com to stay calm after hearing what snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com could not think of anyone who had the audacity to do that.
“Dad, how’re things between you and queen mother?” Arielle asked snazzynovel.com instead.
Dylan did not fault Arielle for calling snazzynovel.com grandma queen mother instead. He immediately got the hint and understood why snazzynovel.com asked about their relationship.
Instantly, his face fell, and snazzynovel.com looked snazzynovel.com solemnly in the eye and asked, “She was the one after you?”
Since snazzynovel.com already made the connection, snazzynovel.com nodded to confirm his suspicion.
“Yes! And my mom! She caused Mom’s death too!” Arielle’s eyes reddened as snazzynovel.com gazed at Dylan, and there was anger in snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com heard from Arielle. On the one hand, snazzynovel.com knew his mother had always been based in Turlen, so snazzynovel.com found it hard to believe snazzynovel.com could have caused Maureen’s death in a foreign land. On the other hand, snazzynovel.com believed his daughter would not lie to him.
“I am positive, Dad!” Arielle started recounting how snazzynovel.com investigated Maureen’s death and what led snazzynovel.com to conclude Nancy was the one responsible.
By the end of snazzynovel.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, snazzynovel.com even went after Arielle, despite knowing that Arielle was snazzynovel.com own granddaughter!
Dylan could not suppress the anger in snazzynovel.com anymore. Right away, snazzynovel.com headed out and broke into a run.
Oh no!
Arielle had not expected snazzynovel.com dad would lose his composure and decide to confront Nancy immediately.
She sprinted after snazzynovel.com and shouted, “Dad! Dad! Calm down!”
Dylan’s mind was fixated on confronting his mother and asking snazzynovel.com why snazzynovel.com did all those horrible deeds. He wanted to know why snazzynovel.com decided to kill the woman snazzynovel.com loved most and even went after his daughter. He was so blinded by anger that snazzynovel.com was not aware of Arielle’s chase and snazzynovel.com pleas for snazzynovel.com to stop.
Thankfully, Arielle was well-trained and effortlessly caught up with Dylan. She pulled snazzynovel.com back, and snazzynovel.com shot snazzynovel.com a puzzled but furious look for getting in his way.
“Dad, you will not be doing any good by confronting snazzynovel.com now! You will only put snazzynovel.com on high alert, and we will have more difficulty defending ourselves against snazzynovel.com in the future!” snazzynovel.com reasoned.
Although Dylan was still burning with rage, snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com face, Dad. That is the only way to nail her!” Arielle wanted to gather irrefutable evidence so snazzynovel.com could bring Nancy to legal justice.
She would not want to risk giving snazzynovel.com grandmother any chance to wriggle out of snazzynovel.com punishment via legal loopholes.
Arielle had always been alert, but at that moment, snazzynovel.com did not notice that in a dark corner, a figure was backing off and sneaking away from them.
