The expression on Nancy's face turned menacing as she thought about how Arielle had slyly faked her 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 her mind and recalled that that investigator did not come back to them with a report, and she stood rooted to the ground in bewilderment.
Nancy could already tell what had happened by Monisha's change in expression, and she sunk into great despair.
She realized Arielle had faked her own death to find the mastermind, and she had foolishly fallen for her 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 her 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, her expression turned dark as she made more belated
realizations.
So the father and daughter knew of each other's identity? When? Was it before Dylan's birthday party? No wonder he 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 her and bore a child with another woman was unbearable, and Celeste was burning with rage.
