Missing You
When Arielle woke up the next day, Vinson was nowhere to be seen. She went to wash up before going downstairs. At that moment, Susanne was sitting on the couch and reading the newspapers. When Susanne saw Arielle walking down the stairs, she quickly told the housekeepers to bring breakfast over.
Arielle sat down and asked, “Mom, how’s your recovery? Do you feel any discomfort?”
“I feel fine. No discomfort whatsoever,” Susanne answered with a smile.
Arielle felt relieved upon hearing that. After breakfast, she went to Maureen’s Kitchen. As usual, business was booming. She then went through the balance sheets and found out that the business was doing well over the months. In order to motivate and reward the employees, she gave everyone a bonus.
After leaving Maureen’s Kitchen, she went to Moore Group to learn about the recent developments. Once she was done, she handed over the operation to the person in charge before going home. When she arrived home, Susanne was resting in her room, so she let her be.
She then went to her bedroom and turned on the computer to publish a notice about recruiting doctors. This time around, she was offering high wages and good incentives. However, she only wanted the top doctors.
Besides that, she highlighted that doctors with families could bring their family members with them, and she would arrange jobs and schools for them.
Within half an hour after she published her notice, she received more than a hundred applications. She screened and went through them one by one before selecting the top ten applicants. She then got them to sign their contracts and wait for her further instructions.
With that out of the way, Arielle whipped out her phone and opened the messages that were transferred to her from Nancy’s side. Arielle was caught up with Susanne’s matters, so she hadn’t had the time to check those messages.
Arielle proceeded to click into the unopened voice messages and listened to them one by one.
“Nancy!”
“I have some problems over here. Some unknown person has stolen our photos and keeps sending them to me.” Nancy sounded gentle and soft.
However, the man on the other end raised his voice and asked, “What? When did this happen?”
“It’s been some time, but I didn’t dare to contact you.”
“I’ll get someone to look into it,” the man answered before asking, “Will you be able to come out? I’ve missed you!”
Nancy sounded like she was shy when she answered, “Wait for me at the back entrance.”
Arielle felt disgusted after she heard the conversation. What in the world is this?
She closed all the other unopened messages and contacted Harvey to ask about the situation there.
Harvey told her Lawrence had brought him to see the General of the Right, and the General of the Right had agreed to support her father.
When Arielle heard that, her eyes lit up. This is all thanks to Harvey. Who knew he would work so hard toward it?
She then immediately informed Vinson about it. By the time he was done looking for people, both of them had a discussion and decided to visit Turlen the next day.
The next day, Arielle accompanied Susanne to her medical appointment and got Vinson to go to the hospital for a full check-up. The results he got from the check-up were the same as the ones he got the last time around. Arielle was relieved when the results indicated everything was fine with him.
When she remembered that her father would have an ally, Arielle wanted to know how Nancy reacted to it. Hence, she listened to the voice messages once again. Suddenly, her expression turned grim.

Heartache
Her initial plan was to visit Turlen in a couple of days’ time. However, she decided to go over the next morning because Dylan’s condition was deteriorating. I have to head over there as soon as possible.
With that in mind, she contacted Vinson and told him they were going to Turlen the next morning. She asked for the details of the men he was bringing so that she could book their flight tickets.
Although Vinson didn’t know why Arielle wanted to leave the next day, he knew something was up. Hence, he told her not to book flight tickets because they could use his private plane instead. After all, the doctors Arielle was bringing had their family members with them. It would be a hassle to make the arrangements for so many people.
Arielle agreed because she wouldn’t need to book flight tickets for so many people anymore. She told him to inform the men he was bringing to gather at the airport at nine the next morning. After that, she informed the doctors she had just employed
With everything done, she went downstairs and looked for Susanne to tell her about the plans for the trip to Turlen.
Susanne had seen it coming, but she still felt reluctant when she found out about their trip. Nonetheless, she knew she wouldn’t be able to convince them otherwise because they were going there for serious matters.
“I know things are different there compared to Chanaea. Hence, you guys ought to be careful and vigilant.” Susanne smiled.
“Mom, once we’re done with the matters there, we’ll come back right away.” After saying that, Arielle glanced at Susanne and whispered, “When we return, we’ll try for a baby. Next year, you’ll have a grandchild. I promise.”
Susanne’s reluctance was washed away when she heard those words. In fact, she couldn’t wait to send them to Turlen so that they could be back earlier and give her a grandchild.
“Okay. I’ll wait for you guys to return,” Susanne uttered joyfully before urging her to quickly pack up her belongings for the trip.
By the time Vinson got back that night, Arielle was already done with all the preparations, and she was in bed while texting Sam. She wanted him to get a substitute to film the rest of the movie. She then transferred him money to compensate for her breaching the contract.
Obviously, Sam was unwilling to accept it. Yet, Arielle told him to treat it as an investment. Hearing that, Sam had no choice but to accept the money.
The next morning, Arielle and Vinson accompanied Susanne for breakfast before going to the airport. This time around, Vinson had arranged for a huge team of bodyguards to keep Susanne safe. At the same time, Sasha was appointed as her personal bodyguard. Susanne wasn’t comfortable with the arrangement at first because Sasha would have to stay with her. Be that as it may, she caved in so that Vinson wouldn’t need to worry about her.
While they were on their way to Turlen, both Vinson and Arielle had put on their disguises. Vinson was made to look like how he looked before, while Arielle looked completely different. She was disguised as Vinson’s younger sister.
When they arrived at Turlen, Vinson rang Dylan and told him that he had brought ten doctors over. He consulted Dylan on the arrangement because all the doctors were there with their family members.
Dylan hadn’t seen Vinson in a while. Thinking that Arielle had passed on, he was eager to see Vinson. Hence, he told Vinson to bring everyone over to the palace.
Arielle tagged along because she hadn’t seen Dylan for a long time, and she had missed him dearly.
Arielle was heartbroken when she saw how skinny Dylan had become. Even his hair is all white now.
Aaron found out Vinson was seeing Dylan, so he went over as well. However, he was stunned when he saw the lady standing next to Vinson.

Exposed
Instead of Arielle, he saw a complete stranger.
He thought Vinson would bring Arielle along, and that was why he was shocked to see him there without her. Could it be that he didn’t want to bring her here because she had been in danger so many times?
At that thought, Aaron narrowed his eyes and was overwhelmed by an inexplicable emotion.
On the other hand, there was a complicated look in Arielle’s eyes when she saw Aaron. Why would he… This is rather disappointing.
Aaron didn’t know what Arielle was thinking. When he saw her staring at him, he thought she was into him. In response, he merely scoffed, turned around, and left.
Arielle thought his response was uncalled for, but she didn’t mind it too much.
“Who might this be, Vinson?” Dylan saw the lady standing next to Vinson. She looks familiar. However, it’s not like we’ve met each other before.
Vinson told Dylan Arielle’s current identity.
Upon hearing that, Dylan frowned. When I investigated him, I didn’t see anything about him having a sister. Oh, well. Maybe she’s his cousin or something. It’s better not to ask too much.
“Dylan, regarding the families—”
Dylan interrupted by patting Vinson’s shoulder and saying, “Don’t worry. Sybil will arrange them according to their skill sets.” At that moment, he was very happy to have Vinson as his son-in-law. Although my daughter is gone, he still cares enough to find doctors for me.
Vinson nodded. He then remembered that he hadn’t attended to the men he had brought along, so he thought of leaving. However, he saw how Arielle was looking at Dylan, and his heart melted. It’s all right. Those men can wait until after dinner.
At that thought, Vinson glanced at Dylan and uttered, “Dad, we haven’t had dinner in a while. I’ll stay to have dinner with you, is that okay?”
Those words brought a smile to Dylan’s face instantly. My princess knew how to pick her man, all right. What a son-in-law this is. Too bad she isn’t lucky enough to enjoy what he has to offer.
Dylan was devastated when Arielle came into his mind. Vinson and Arielle saw the devastation in his eyes, and she wanted to tell him so badly that she was all right. Nonetheless, she knew how dangerous that could be, so she had to suppress her emotions. I’ll have to tell him in due time.
Little did she know, her identity would be exposed that very night.
After dinner, Arielle followed Vinson to their apartment. When they arrived, those ten men he brought along were waiting for them at the apartment. They were only brought away after Vinson had returned.
These men were all elites. Vinson gave them some Turlenese bills and arranged for them to stay at a hotel. After that, he brought Arielle back to their apartment.
Once they had parked the car, Vinson unfastened Arielle’s seatbelt for her, and that was when he accidentally brushed her breasts. In response, she let out a soft moan. Vinson lost his composure almost instantaneously, and he wrapped his hand behind the back of her head before kissing her.
That caught Arielle by surprise, and she was stunned momentarily before kissing him back. Someone who had been following their car watched the scene unfold before his eyes.
The man was staring at them with his piercing gaze. The moment Vinson and Arielle got out of the car, he approached them and called out in a deep voice, “Arielle!”
Arielle could only stare at the man blankly because she was flabbergasted. Who would’ve thought that he would be the first person to see through my disguise?
Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 1614
Devour
However, she didn’t give in that easily.
She stared at Aaron with an oblivious face. “Who are you? Who’s Arielle?”
When he noticed that she was still pretending, Aaron snorted. “Arielle, you don’t have to pretend. I know you’re not dead.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Arielle turned around, grabbed Vinson’s arm, and walked into the apartment.
“I will make you come clean!” As he spoke, Aaron turned around and walked away. Soon, they heard the sound of a car starting and driving away.
When Arielle heard Aaron’s words at the entrance to the apartment, she turned around and stared in the direction he left before retracting her gaze. Vinson, beside her, became jealous because Aaron could recognize Arielle immediately. He pulled Arielle into his arms, lowered his head, and kissed her.Playvolume
Vinson violently intertwined his tongue with hers and quickly weakened Arielle’s knees. By then, Vinson was already aroused, and he carried her into the apartment.
At this time, Harvey had long since returned to his home with Sonia.
A few days ago, Lawrence met them and told them what Kelly said. When they learned that she was no longer against them being together, they were both delighted. Although her objection didn’t affect their relationship, it affected their feelings. At that moment, they could finally be together with peace of mind.
Lawrence also told them about Kelly’s suggestion for them to live back home. However, when he saw the two in silence, he told them they didn’t have to force themselves. After all, Kelly wanted them to return home because Sonia was pregnant and was worried they couldn’t handle taking care of her.
Sonia didn’t want to go back. However, Harvey was concerned about Kelly’s words and immediately decided to return. He realized his future mother-in-law had a point. If she could look after Sonia, he would be relieved.
When Harvey agreed to return, Sonia naturally agreed. After parting with Lawrence, they went back to pack up to return to the Wynter residence.
Meanwhile, Vinson carried Arielle into the room and pressed her on the bed.
“B-Bath!” Arielle stopped Vinson’s alluring lips with her hands. She had been on a long flight and also went to many places. Her body had long been drenched in sweat.
“I’ll prepare the bath water for you!” Vinson pulled Arielle’s hand away and kissed her fiercely on the lips before turning around toward the bathroom.
While preparing the bath water for Arielle, he went to another bathroom to shower. After washing up, the water in the bathtub was almost filled. Then, he wrapped a towel around him and carried Arielle into the bathroom. He wanted to bathe her and inevitably devour her.
On the other side, when Aaron left, all he could imagine was the image of Arielle and Vinson kissing. He knew that Arielle was his elder sister, but seeing her intimate with Vinson drove him insane.
He drove straight toward Alicia’s school, parked under a tree in a dark corner, and called Alicia to ask her to come out.
After receiving the phone call, Alicia quickly put on a dress and hurried down. When she came out, she couldn’t see the car. All she saw was a red dot blinking in the dark, not far away.
“What are you waiting for? Come here!”
Hearing the familiar voice, she scampered over immediately. She was about to ask why Aaron had parked the car in the dark corner, which made her unable to see him. Before she could speak, Aaron grabbed her and pressed her onto the vehicle.

Crazy
“Mmph—” Aaron kissed her forcefully and sucked on her tongue. Alicia couldn’t help but let out a whimper.
Her voice stimulated Aaron.
He felt as if he had been walking in the desert without water for three days, crazily looking for water to quench his thirst.
Aaron let go of her lips and bent her over. He seemed to not care about anything as he couldn’t wait for even a second longer.
“It hurts!”
Due to the lack of foreplay, Alicia burst into tears when he went all the way.Playvolume
Before this, he would stop whenever she felt pain. Yet, that night, he was riled up by Arielle and Vinson. Not only did he not stop, but he also became even more relentless.
After everything was over, Alicia’s eyes were swollen red from the crying. At this moment, Aaron carried her into the backseat of the car. She bit her lip and stole a glance at him, not knowing what drove Aaron insane to the point where he didn’t feel sorry for her.
Aaron noticed her gaze and thought of what he had done to her. He felt pity for her, hugged her in his arms, and kissed her forehead. “Do you have any class tomorrow?”
His voice was a little hoarse and sounded surprisingly pleasant to the ears.
Alicia shook her head. She hadn’t had any class for two days now. She lived in the dorms because it would be convenient for her to come out whenever he came looking for her. That wouldn’t be the case if she stayed with her grandfather.
“Come sleep at my house. I’ll send you back here when you have class.” Aaron let go of her as he finished and stepped out of the car to the driver’s seat.
After they arrived, Aaron carried Alicia into his house for her to bathe and sleep. Then, he went downstairs, took a few bottles of wine from the wine cabinet, and sat down to drink.
After taking a shower, Alicia realized that there weren’t any clothes for her to change into. Hence, she wrapped a bath towel around her, walked to Aaron’s room, and grabbed a pair of Aaron’s boxers and a shirt.
After drying her hair, she realized that Aaron hadn’t come upstairs yet. Enduring the pain in her body, she went downstairs only to see a table of wine bottles and Aaron drowning himself in wine.
Alicia thought of his violent behavior toward her before. After seeing him drinking a considerable amount of wine after coming home, she thought he must have been in a bad mood.
She couldn’t stand him being unhappy and wanted to cheer him up.
At that thought, she walked toward him.
“Aaron.”
She called out his name softly, and Aaron turned toward her voice as soon as he heard.
She was tall and elegant, and he could see her stunning curves through the white shirt.
Aaron narrowed his eyes, pulled her into his arms, and whispered in her ear, “Are you trying to seduce me by wearing that?”
“N-No.” Alicia trembled. She only put on his shirt because there weren’t any spare clothes for her.
Aaron ignored her explanation and concluded that she was trying to seduce him. He picked her up and walked toward the couch. When he put her down, Alicia wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
She wanted him to be happy and thought she could only cheer him up this way.
Aaron kissed her lip and reached into her clothes with his hand.
“Ari… Ari…”
In the end, Aaron called out Arielle’s name. After going all the way, he lay on Alicia’s body and closed his eyes.
As she listened to his faint breathing, she couldn’t believe that Aaron would call out someone else’s name while doing that to her. At that moment, she couldn’t help but feel her heart squirming in pain.

Desperate Love
Ari… Ari is a really nice name. Is that the name of the girl he likes?
Heartbroken, Alicia looked at him and gently pushed him off. She got up, put her clothes back on, and went upstairs to get a blanket to cover Aaron with. Then, she lay down, nestling in his embrace. She placed his arms around her waist and gently closed her eyes.
She couldn’t win his heart, but she was satisfied with having his body, even though she was just a substitute.
The next day, Aaron opened his eyes only to see Alicia clinging to his body like an octopus. Her shirt had a few buttons open, catching him off guard. He rolled over and pressed her under him.
After getting freaky, Alicia snuggled in Aaron’s arms and whispered, “Aaron, I like you. Can I stay by your side forever?”
Alicia knew she didn’t stand a chance because Aaron had a girl he liked. However, she didn’t want to let go of Aaron. She wanted to stay by his side. As long as she could be with him, she didn’t care, even if it meant being his mistress and having to remain his secret.
Her love for him was simply desperate.
Aaron’s eyes darkened as he lowered them to look at her in his arms. Then, he let go of her and went upstairs.
Alicia looked at him as he walked away, feeling a little dejected. Nevertheless, she refused to give up. She was afraid Aaron would leave her after getting together with the girl he liked.
She didn’t want to lose him.
“Aaron…” She stopped him by calling out his name. Then, she said in a low voice, “Can’t I be your mistress? I will be obedient. As long as you keep me company from time to time, I will never disrupt your life.”
Aaron remained silent and went straight upstairs.
Alicia hugged her legs and wept silently. Can’t you even accept such a small request? I promise I won’t be a bother to you.
Aaron called someone to bring a few sets of women’s clothes as soon as he got upstairs and went to wash up.
Fifteen minutes later, he came downstairs in casual sportswear.
Hearing his footsteps coming down the stairs, Alicia turned around to look. When Aaron saw her wet red eyes, he felt a bizarre feeling. Does she want to be with me that much?
He walked over to her, took out a key from his pocket, and handed it to her.
“What is this?” Alicia looked at him and didn’t reach out to take it. She was afraid it was Aaron’s compensation for her.
“I take back what I said. I won’t be by your side forever. Just please don’t leave me now, okay?” Before Aaron could speak, Alicia spoke while holding back her tears.
At that moment, she looked pitiful, and a strange feeling befell Aaron’s heart.
“This is the key to the apartment next to your school. From now on, I will go there every day,” Aaron said.
Alicia widened her swollen eyes and looked at him in confusion. Is this what I think it is? Is he letting me stay by his side?
With a narrowed gaze, Aaron looked at Alicia and said in a firm tone, “Alicia, I can’t love you, and I won’t. If that’s what you want, then—”
“No!” Before Aaron could finish, Alicia got up from the couch and hugged him tightly. “No, I don’t want anything else. Just let me stay by your side!”
Aaron slowly narrowed his eyes. If it wasn’t for her alluring body…

Identity Exposed
When Arielle opened her eyes, she found herself alone in the room at the apartment, and Vinson was nowhere to be seen. She washed up and got out of the room.
Hearing her footsteps, Vinson, with an apron on, came out of the kitchen with a spatula in his hand. “You must be hungry. Breakfast will be ready soon,” he said, gazing lovingly at her.
Arielle thought he had gone out to buy breakfast and did not expect he would personally cook for her. She could not help but smile as she walked into the kitchen, hugged him from behind, and pressed her cheek against his back.
“What have I done in my past life to deserve such a perfect husband in this lifetime? Did I save the universe?” she cooed dreamily, a blissful look on her face.
Vinson felt the same way too. He took her hand in his and planted a kiss on it, feeling really blessed to have met the woman of his dreams.
Breakfast was ready a few minutes later. Looking at the hearty meal he had prepared, she playfully put on a sad look and asked, “Are you trying to fatten me up, so you have an excuse to go for a younger woman?”
Vinson gently knocked her on the head and chided, “What nonsense is that? Just dig in!”
They were planning on trying for a baby once they got home, so he wanted to improve her health. He hoped that with better health, she would be better equipped to cope with the challenges of pregnancy and have an easier time.
Arielle playfully made a face, then obligingly started eating.
Some people might have preferred to eat in silence, but Arielle thought that was an awkward practice, so the two formed a habit of making small talks during mealtimes.
“What are you doing later?” Arielle asked.
Vinson took a sip from his glass of milk and told her his plans. He intended to look Harvey up to discuss their next move.
However, he had some concerns though, as Aaron had recognized Arielle the night before.
“Sannie, Aaron is aware of your identity. What is going to happen now?” he asked with concern.
Arielle put down her cutlery, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and said, “That is not an issue.”
She planned to watch Aaron’s next move and react accordingly.
“Since now you know who is the mastermind behind the plot against you and your mom, I think you don’t need to keep up with your fake death anymore and can resume your true identity.” Vinson felt sorry for Dylan, knowing the news of Arielle’s death was a devastating blow to him.
Arielle closed her eyes and fell into deep thoughts.
If she were to tell Dylan about her faking her death, she would have to tell him what Nancy did to her and her mother as well. She was not sure if that news would be an even greater blow to him.
Vinson could see the hesitation in her eyes. He assured her by reasoning, “As you can see, your death was a great blow to your father. Since Aaron already knows who you are, your father will find out soon too. What is the harm of letting him know personally? I am sure that will make his day!”
Arielle thought he was right, so she nodded in agreement. “Sure, let’s tell him about it, but only him!”
She planned to keep it from Nancy for a bit longer, as she wanted to keep her in suspense and watch her live in constant fear.
“Great! Let’s go to the palace and give him the good news. I am sure he will only believe it when he sees you personally!” Vinson smilingly said.
“I thought you already made plans to meet up with Harvey?” Arielle was surprised he offered to go with her.
Vinson shook his head and said he would postpone his meeting with Harvey and go with her to the palace instead.
After agreeing on their plan for the day, Vinson gave Harvey a call to postpone their meeting. Then he and Arielle started their journey to the palace. Arielle was enjoying the scenic drive when suddenly, her face fell, and she shouted out for Vinson to stop the car immediately.
Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 1618
Impossible To Capture
“What—” Before Vinson could blurt out a word, Arielle had already opened the door and rushed out of the car. Vinson hurriedly ran after her, but just a short distance away, he saw her sullenly making her way back, her brows tightly knitted.
“What is wrong? What did you see?” he asked.
“I saw a woman who resembles Sonia’s kidnapper. Too bad I could not catch up with her.” Arielle was visibly upset and in disbelief. No one had managed to escape from her before, and she had finally met her match.
“I thought she escaped. Why is she back?” Vinson’s eyes narrowed, confused as well.
“Why don’t you send Sonia a message to forewarn her? Her father is the powerful General of the Right, so he will be able to capture that woman in no time,” he added as they walked back to the car.
As soon as Arielle got back into their car, she immediately took out her phone and sent Sonia a message.Playvolume
Upon receiving that news, Sonia immediately informed Lawrence. She did not bother to trouble Harvey as he was a foreigner and did not have as many resources or support locally to hunt for that woman.
Lawrence had been hunting for that kidnapper in the past few days but to no avail. He was grateful that Arielle bumped into her and provided him with such a useful lead. He immediately sent his men to that area to conduct a search, confident he would find the kidnapper soon.
Sonia thanked Arielle for her help and informed her that her father’s men were already on their way to that area.
Lorraine, on the run from Lawrence’s men, had been staying in the slum areas in Turlen. She did not dare to step into any hotels for fear that Lawrence’s men were keeping a close watch on those places.
She deeply regretted her rash decision to kidnap Sonia and sneak into the Wynter residence to steal the bag. In hindsight, if she had been honest with Sonia and requested an exchange of the bags, Sonia would likely have agreed. However, it was too late, and she had already made the terrible mistake.
With Lawrence’s men hot on her heels, it was doubly hard for her to accomplish the mission she was assigned.
She broke out in a cold sweat as she recalled her narrow escape from Arielle. She was about to go on her mission after evading Lawrence’s men when she was discovered by Arielle. If not for her alertness and superb speed, she would have ended up in jail already.
She took in a deep breath to calm her nerves and decided it would be wiser for her to lie low for a while. She reasoned it would be safer for her to remain in hiding for the time being. With that in mind, she hurriedly made her way back to her hiding place.
However, soon she sensed something was amiss and became uneasy, as the place suddenly became unusually crowded. Although the people around were in plain clothes, she could not help but fear that Lawrence’s men were amongst them.
She ducked into a nearby public toilet, opened her backpack, and started changing into her disguise. Examining herself in the mirror, she was satisfied with her new disguise as a man in his mid-twenties, confident no one would recognize her anymore.
She quickly packed up her things, looked around carefully, and hurried out of the toilet after making sure no one was around. Disguised as a man, she had to be careful not to be mistaken as a pervert lurking in the women’s toilet.
Arielle and Vinson reached the palace and met up with Dylan. When Dylan got to know who she really was and that her earlier rumored death was staged, he was overwhelmed by emotions.
That made Arielle a little hesitant to continue her story, worried he would not be able to handle the truth.
Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me 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 find out who the mastermind is, right?” Dylan was no fool, and he immediately got her point. “So did you manage to find 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.
Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 1620
Who Is That Woman
Arielle was desperately trying to calm Dylan down. She was worried he would act rashly and confront Nancy without sufficient evidence. That would only put him in grave danger.
Dylan took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked, “How much evidence have you gotten?”
Arielle looked around cautiously and said, “Let’s go back and discuss this later, Dad.”
They were out in the open, and she was worried someone would overhear them.
Dylan took a hard look in the direction of his mother’s palace and begrudgingly turned to head back with Arielle, causing her to heave a sigh of relief.
In the meantime, the person who had sneaked away after eavesdropping on Dylan and Arielle was running back to Celeste’s palace.
“Your Majesty! Your Majesty…”
Celeste frowned when she saw Miranda rushing toward her, panting heavily.
“Have you forgotten your age? Why are you still so rash?” There was no hint of anger in her voice as she nagged at Miranda.
“Your Majesty, I-I… m-made… a major discovery!” Miranda stammered while she was trying to catch her breath.
“What is the matter?” Celeste got up and poured her a drink, then added, “Take a drink and catch your breath first. You can take your time to tell me what happened.”
Although Miranda was in a hurry to tell Celeste what she overheard, she was too breathless to even finish a proper sentence.
She gratefully took the glass of water from Celeste and finished it in a gulp.
After regaining her breath, she spilled out what she saw and heard earlier to Celeste.
“Your Majesty, I heard a girl call His Majesty Dad! And she said they should produce evidence, throw it in her face so that she couldn’t talk her way out!”
Arielle had been very cautious and was conversely with Dylan in Turlenese, unaware that it had backfired on her.
“What did you say?” Celeste sprang up in surprise upon hearing Miranda’s tale.
A girl calling Dylan Dad? How is that possible? Did Dylan betray me and have an affair with someone? Who is that woman?
Celeste felt aggrieved, and her eyes reddened with despair as Miranda repeated word for word what she overheard.
She wanted to rush over to question Dylan but rationally held herself back.
“Let’s go pay a visit to queen mother!” she said to Miranda, who instantly understood her intention and followed her. She knew Celeste wanted to find out if Nancy knew about the girl.
Monisha hurried over to greet Celeste when she saw her walking in.
“What is Her Majesty doing now? Is she free?” Celeste suppressed her anxiety and asked.
Although Monisha was the favored aide to Nancy, she knew her place and was acting the part of a loyal servant to Celeste.
“Her Majesty had just finished her work and is taking her rest now,” she respectfully replied to Celeste before leading her to Nancy.
Nancy was surprised to see Celeste. “What brought you here?” she asked, her eyes narrowed as she evaluated Celeste carefully.
“I have something to ask you, Mother!” Celeste took a seat next to her mother-in-law and earnestly asked.
“And what is that?” Nancy was curious.
“Do you know that Dylan has a daughter?” Celeste did not beat around the bush as she was desperate for the answer.
“Who did you hear that from?” Celeste’s question made her mother-in-law lose her composure instantly. Nancy stared sternly at Celeste and repeated her question. “Who did you hear that from?”
