Simon's mother's eyes were filled with resentment.
Observing that, the queen added, "If you provoke them again, the royal family will publicly announce a complete severance of ties with your family. Naturally, that includes Leo."
Leo was Simon's older brother, who was highly esteemed within the royal family.
Simon's mother was taken aback by the queen's words.
Despite her heartache, she lowered her head. "Your Majesty, please rest assured that both Leo and I will always prioritize the interests of the royal family. Please show your compassion to a helpless mother and help me find Simon's head as soon as possible."
"I will." The queen nodded.
With her head bowed, Simon's mother exited the hall, turned around, and marched away with determination.
She wouldn't let the girl who killed Simon escape justice.
And, of course, she wouldn't spare the mastermind behind it all.
Since the queen wouldn't allow open confrontation, she would have to resort to more subtle tactics.
Two days later, Simon's head was reattached to his body.
However, it came at a cost of 200 thousand dollars.
The funeral was held quietly, similar to Heather's.
Simon was also denied burial in the Royal Tombs.
During that time, the royal family and the investigators Simon's mother hired with substantial funds continued their search for the murderer.
Little did they know the culprit herself was taking private lessons at home.
If she progressed rapidly, she would become a primary school student by the next year.
Apart from her studies, there was something else Ottilie loved doing.
She liked surprising the bodyguards and challenging them.
She wouldn't go for bodyguards who she knew she could easily defeat but would deliberately seek out formidable opponents like Martin and Mike.
Obviously, although Martin and Mike couldn't defeat Dorian, they had no trouble dealing with Ottilie.

The readers' comments on the novel: My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup
I am at Chapter 550 and there are almost 2 stories in 1. Aron and Evie's story could very well have been made into another story. Such a waste of time because I am reading for Byron and Athena, not Evie and Aron...
Is there no new updates after this one?...
