The expression on Nancy’s face turned menacing as snazzynovel.com thought about how Arielle had slyly faked snazzynovel.com own death to deceive her.
No! Something is not right!
She immediately turned to Monisha and whispered, “We sent someone to investigate Arielle’s death. Did that person come back with a report?”
Monisha searched snazzynovel.com mind and recalled that that investigator did not come back to them with a report, and snazzynovel.com stood rooted to the ground in bewilderment.
Nancy could already tell what had happened by Monisha’s change in expression, and snazzynovel.com sunk into great despair. She realized Arielle had faked snazzynovel.com own death to find the mastermind, and snazzynovel.com had foolishly fallen for snazzynovel.com trick.
Her hands clutched together tightly at that horrifying thought.
“What has that got to do with Arielle, Mother?” Celeste was utterly confused, wondering why snazzynovel.com mother-in-law was harping on what happened to Arielle when they were talking about Dylan’s illegitimate child.
Moreover, Arielle was already dead, and Celeste superstitiously felt it was unlucky to talk about a deceased person.
Looking at the clueless Celeste, Nancy knew there was no point in covering up anymore. She was only shocked that Arielle would actually put on a disguise and take a risk to come into the palace to meet Dylan.
A father and a daughter’s relationship sure are stronger!
Suddenly, snazzynovel.com expression turned dark as snazzynovel.com made more belated realizations.
So the father and daughter knew of each other’s identity? But, when?
Was it before Dylan’s birthday party? No wonder snazzynovel.com made an entrance with Arielle by his side!
“Mother! Who is Dylan’s illegitimate child? And who is the woman who seduced Dylan?” The thought that Dylan had betrayed snazzynovel.com and bore a child with another woman was unbearable, and Celeste was burning with rage.
“Arielle!”
“What?” Celeste looked at snazzynovel.com mother-in-law, puzzled why snazzynovel.com kept talking about Arielle.
“Arielle is Dylan’s secret child!” Nancy blasted out the truth, annoyed that Celeste was too dense to get the idea herself.
Celeste looked at snazzynovel.com in disbelief and asked, “Did you just say Arielle is Dylan’s secret child?”
Her mother-in-law nodded and added, “I kept it from you as I wanted to silently finish snazzynovel.com off instead. I did not expect you to find out Dylan has an illegitimate child. There is no point in hiding that from you now.”
“But isn’t Arielle dead?” Celeste stared at snazzynovel.com and mumbled, “If snazzynovel.com is, then how is it possible for snazzynovel.com to be with Dylan and call snazzynovel.com Dad? So snazzynovel.com is not dead, after all?”
The other woman sullenly nodded and said, “That’s right. She is not dead!”
The news that Arielle was Dylan’s illegitimate child and that snazzynovel.com was still alive was too much for Celeste to handle. She stood there dumbfounded as the past flashed by in snazzynovel.com mind.
Arielle was a Chanaean, and Dylan had married Celeste only a year after snazzynovel.com returned from Chanaea. After their marriage, snazzynovel.com had not left the country. That meant Dylan had another woman before snazzynovel.com met her, and Arielle was born before they got married. She had no idea Dylan was in love with another woman before they met. If snazzynovel.com had known, snazzynovel.com would not have chosen to marry him.
It was with mixed emotions that snazzynovel.com finally realized why snazzynovel.com husband had refused to share a space with snazzynovel.com all those years that they were married.
“You had always known that Dylan has a person snazzynovel.com loves in Chanaea, didn’t you, Mother?” It was more of a statement than a question.
When Nancy nodded in affirmation, Celeste broke out in tears.
“Since you knew snazzynovel.com was in love with another woman, why did you arrange for me to marry him?!” snazzynovel.com shouted hysterically at snazzynovel.com mother-in-law, tears flowing copiously from snazzynovel.com sad-looking eyes.
All those times, snazzynovel.com thought Dylan did not like snazzynovel.com and the idea of arranged marriage. She was hoping that, with time, snazzynovel.com could touch snazzynovel.com with snazzynovel.com love. Alas, the fact was that his heart was already taken by another woman, and there was nothing left for her.
Nancy was enraged by Celeste’s accusation and shouting, as snazzynovel.com had never been treated with such disrespect in snazzynovel.com entire life.
