Staring out the window as Arielle left, Aaron’s gaze darkened.
She’s right… I must avenge Father!
Although he did give Dylan the herbal concoction, the one who prepared it was Nancy. He had to wait patiently to discover evidence to throw her in jail.

Alicia’s eyes went watery as she held her blanket on the bed. Ever since the news about Aaron’s imprisonment spread on the internet, she wasn’t in the mood to study.
She was worried because he did not answer her calls and reply to her messages. She asked for a month’s break from the lecturers to ask around about Aaron. She went to different places like a headless chicken, yet there was no news about him.
“Alicia, come out and eat something…” Clement knocked on her door.
Since she hadn’t had any food or water the whole day, he made some of her favorite food.
“Grandpa, I’m not hungry…” Alicia sniffled.
Clement felt heartbroken when he heard the reply.
What happened to Alicia? She has been like this ever since she returned from university a few days ago. Did someone bully her there?
“Your body wouldn’t be able to take it if you don’t eat anything. Please come out and at least get something to eat,” he said with a raised voice.
One could tell that he was deeply worried about Alicia.
“Grandpa, I don’t want to eat anything!”
Noticing that Alicia choked on her words, Clement was a little anxious.
Have I guessed it right? Did someone bully her in university?
He knocked on the door again and asked nervously, “Alicia, are you crying? Did someone bully you in school?”
Alicia knew Clement was worried once she heard his voice.
