Celeste was taken aback by snazzynovel.com mother-in-law’s reaction, wondering why snazzynovel.com reacted so strongly to snazzynovel.com question.
So snazzynovel.com knew about Dylan and his other daughter but kept that from me?
Celeste was upset and aggrieved that Nancy was helping Dylan to cover up about his illegitimate daughter. She thought they were fighting for power and were on opposing sides. Little did snazzynovel.com expect snazzynovel.com mother-in-law would shield snazzynovel.com son over that matter.
“Who is that woman, Mother? When did snazzynovel.com hook up with Dylan?” Celeste did not answer Nancy’s question.
She only looked at snazzynovel.com pitifully and asked about the other woman. As a daughter-in-law, snazzynovel.com had treated Nancy with respect and thought that was reciprocated. She always felt snazzynovel.com mother-in-law favored snazzynovel.com more when compared to Dylan.
It was a shocking discovery for snazzynovel.com to find out that snazzynovel.com mother-in-law had kept snazzynovel.com in the dark about such a major act of betrayal. She felt all the love and respect snazzynovel.com showered on Nancy had gone down the drain.
“How did you know about Dylan’s illegitimate child?” Nancy did not bother to ask how Celeste felt about the matter.
She was more concerned about who leaked that information. After all, snazzynovel.com thought it was a secret, and even Dylan did not know about the matter.
“Miranda heard a girl call Dylan Dad when snazzynovel.com was in the garden earlier. She told me about it. Otherwise, I would still be in the dark.” Celeste was disgruntled.
She could not comprehend why snazzynovel.com mother-in-law was more concerned about how snazzynovel.com found out about the matter.
Nancy’s face turned white upon hearing Celeste‘s reply.
She jumped up from the couch and stared intently at Celeste, asking, “What did you say? Repeat what you just said!”

While Nancy was losing snazzynovel.com mind over the discovery that Arielle had met up with Dylan, snazzynovel.com son was sullenly slouched on the couch, listening to the audio Arielle was playing back for him. When snazzynovel.com heard his mother admitting to killing Maureen, his heart bled, and it pained snazzynovel.com so much that snazzynovel.com thought snazzynovel.com would die from the heartache.
Knowing that his most beloved woman was killed by his mother, snazzynovel.com was overwhelmed with guilt. He knew snazzynovel.com was too ashamed and would not be able to face Maureen in the other world.
“Sannie… I have let your mom down. And I have let you down too…”
He could not forgive himself, thinking snazzynovel.com was the cause of all those tragedies. If snazzynovel.com had not fallen for Maureen, snazzynovel.com would not have suffered such a tragic fate. He blamed himself, and snazzynovel.com was extremely remorseful.
“It is not your fault, Dad! Mom felt very blessed and grateful to have fallen in love with you and bore you a child,” Arielle held on to Dylan‘s huge, warm hand and comforted snazzynovel.com softly.
Although Maureen had never shared snazzynovel.com innermost feelings with her, Arielle could not remember a single time snazzynovel.com mom had said anything bad about snazzynovel.com dad.
His daughter’s comforting words only made snazzynovel.com more sorrowful, and Dylan’s tears rolled down his cheeks uncontrollably. He was devastated and blamed himself for the sufferings Maureen and Arielle went through. They had lived such a sad life because snazzynovel.com failed to protect them.
It pained Arielle to see snazzynovel.com dad drown in sorrow and self-reproach.

Back at Nancy’s palace, Celeste was stunned by snazzynovel.com mother-in-law‘s dramatic reaction. She quickly obliged snazzynovel.com by repeating what snazzynovel.com had just said.
“Impossible! How is that possible?” The woman muttered to herself, then turned to Miranda, who was standing behind Celeste.
“Miranda, did you really hear that?! Are you sure?!” snazzynovel.com questioned brashly.
Miranda definitely would not dare to utter a single word of untruth to Nancy. She hurriedly swore on snazzynovel.com life that snazzynovel.com was telling the truth and that snazzynovel.com did hear the girl call Dylan Dad.
Nancy’s heart sank as snazzynovel.com heard that.
Arielle is supposed to be dead, so if a girl called Dylan Dad, it could only mean…
