Chapter 1640 Murder Decree

The only person with a visa who had come looking for Dylan is Arielle. Now that she is here, there is no reason not to act.

“A spy?” The secretary straightened up immediately. To think there was a spy in their country! “What should we do?” he asked, gazing at Nancy.

The latter shot him a stern glance before answering coldly, “Take her down on the spot.”

In other words, they were to kill their target without going through an interrogation process.

Although the secretary didn’t understand why Nancy had decided on such, he still did as ordered. As soon as she left, he went to the palace entrance to retrieve its surveillance footage and sent Arielle’s images to various groups, thus launching a murder decree.

Arielle wasn’t aware that Nancy had already framed her as a national spy and ordered a hunt. Suppressing her despair temporarily, she headed to the Wynter residence with Vinson.

Sonia and Harvey were thrilled to hear that the two were coming, and they stood at the door to welcome them. But upon noticing Arielle’s swollen eyes, Harvey glanced at Vinson with a frown. What happened? What’s with her eyes?

The man said nothing despite feeling doubtful, although he was certain that it wasn’t Vinson’s fault. He understood the latter well enough to know that.

“What’s wrong, Arielle? What happened?” Sonia’s chest tightened as she saw the way Arielle looked after crying and went up to hold her hand.

Arielle patted the former’s hand in response while staring at the floor in desolation. “My dad’s passed away, Sonia. I don’t have a father anymore.”

Harvey was stupefied to hear that.

“What did you say? Your dad… He’s gone? When did this happen? How did he die? And why hasn’t there been any news about this?” he questioned, gazing straight into her eyes.

“Did the news not get out?” Arielle asked in return, but before waiting for Harvey’s response, she hastily removed her arm from Sonia’s grasp, took out her phone, and began to search for any news regarding Dylan. However, as Harvey had mentioned, there was not a single piece of news about the man who had just died.

What is the queen mother thinking? Why didn’t she announce his death?

At this point, Arielle wasn’t just upset anymore, and she felt an entire mix of different emotions overwhelm her.

“Why is she keeping my dad’s death a secret, Vinson? What is she up to?” she asked, turning to Vinson with reddened eyes. Yet, the man shook his head lightly. He, too, had no idea what Nancy was thinking.

As they spoke, Lawrence walked toward them with a grim expression and felt extremely conflicted upon seeing Harvey.

He had decided to let Harvey marry Sonia because of what the younger man had said to him about helping Dylan reclaim his power, only to be caught off guard completely after receiving the news about Dylan’s sudden death.

“Harvey, the plan has failed. His Majesty… is gone.” The last four words came out of Lawrence’s mouth with much struggle.

“The palace has been trying so hard to keep the king’s death a secret. How did you replace out about it, General Lawrence?” Arielle jumped in, not waiting for Harvey to speak.

She wanted to know how Lawrence had received the news so she could obtain more information.

Lawrence pinned his gaze on her, feeling suspicious about her identity.
