Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire
Chapter 1619

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 replace out who the mastermind is, right?" Dylan was no fool, and he immediately got her point. "So did you manage to replace 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.

"I am positive, Dad!" Arielle started recounting how she investigated Maureen's death and what led her to conclude Nancy was the one responsible.

By the end of her story, Dylan's hands were so tightly clenched into fists that his veins were popping.

He found it hard to believe how cold-blooded his mother was. After causing Maureen's death, she even went after Arielle, despite knowing that Arielle was her own granddaughter! Dylan could not suppress the anger in him anymore.

Right away, he headed out and broke into a run.

Oh no!

Arielle had not expected her dad would lose his composure and decide to confront Nancy immediately. She sprinted after him and shouted, "Dad! Dad! Calm down!"

Dylan's mind was fixated on confronting his mother and asking her why she did all those horrible deeds. He wanted to know why she decided to kill the woman he loved most and even went after his daughter. He was so blinded by anger that he was not aware of Arielle's chase and her pleas for him to stop.

Thankfully, Arielle was well-trained and effortlessly caught up with Dylan. She pulled him back, and he shot her a puzzled but furious look for getting in his way. "Dad, you will not be doing any good by confronting her now! You will only put her on high alert, and we will have more difficulty defending ourselves against her in the future!" she reasoned.

Although Dylan was still burning with rage, he was convinced by his daughter's logical reasoning and finally managed to calm down.

"We need to produce solid evidence and throw it in her face, Dad. That is the only way to nail her!" Arielle wanted to gather irrefutable evidence so she could bring Nancy to legal justice. She would not want to risk giving her grandmother any chance to wriggle out of her punishment via legal loopholes.

Arielle had always been alert, but at that moment, she did not notice that in a dark corner, a figure was backing off and sneaking away from them.
