Chapter 1619 Calm Down
“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 he immediately got her point. “So did you manage to find out?” he 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 him to stay calm after hearing what she 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 him 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 he could not think of anyone who had the audacity to do that.
“Dad, how’re things between you and queen mother?” Arielle asked him instead. Dylan did not fault Arielle for calling her grandma queen mother instead. He immediately got the hint and understood why she asked about their relationship.
Instantly, his face fell, and he looked her solemnly in the eye and asked, “She was the one after you?”
Since he already made the connection, she nodded to confirm his suspicion. “Yes! And my mom! She caused Mom’s death too!” Arielle’s eyes reddened as she gazed at Dylan, and there was anger in her 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 he heard from Arielle. On the one hand, he knew his mother had always been based in Turlen, so he found it hard to believe she could have caused Maureen’s death in a foreign land. On the other hand, he believed his daughter would not lie to him.
