Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire

Chapter 1646 Bleeding Heart

"That day..." Sybil recounted Dylan's sudden death over the phone.

Arielle stilled momentarily after hearing the whole story. She didn't think it was Aaron who had personally given her dad the herbal concoction. She had assumed it was all a lie spun by Nancy. "Do you think Aaron would do such a thing?" the woman asked after a long moment of silence.

She didn't initially believe so, but now that Sybil had mentioned the way Dylan had looked at Aaron before breathing his last, she wasn't sure whether she could trust her own instincts now.

"I wouldn't dare think it was Prince Aaron, but it looks to be the case. In fact, he didn't try to defend himself when Her Majesty locked him up...”

"Are you safe now? Can you arrange for me to meet Aaron? I want to find out what happened from him," Arielle requested after another pause.

Sybil's current situation wasn't ideal, but he couldn't say no to Arielle as he, too, didn't believe that Aaron was behind the king's murder. The man had even tried to talk to Aaron once, but the latter refused to utter a word. Maybe she'd be able to get the truth out of him.

"I'll get back to you when the opportunity arises, Princess."

Meanwhile, chaos ensued after Nancy had collapsed, and it was later in the afternoon by the time she regained consciousness.

"Are those things gone, Monisha?" the woman asked. Thinking back to what had transpired before she passed out made her boil with rage.

Having busied herself with taking care of Nancy all day, Monisha couldn't answer. She really hadn't had the time to check what was on the internet.

Fortunately, Nancy didn't blame her, knowing how worried and caught up the latter must have been.

"Give me my phone. I'll have a look."

Strong-minded as always, the woman took her phone. By now, the internet was now void of all her scandalous photos, and it was as though nothing had ever happened. Yet, Nancy knew it wasn't but a dream.

She gripped her fists tightly.

Who the h*ll did it? How dare they put all those things out in public?

The thought of everyone inside the conference room having seen that video made her body tremble with wrath.

She then made a phone call.

"What's with the photos and video, Nancy?"

The queen mother was instantly livid. She had thought of asking for help, only to be questioned like that as soon as the person on the other end picked up.

"Didn't I tell you before? Someone keeps hacking into my computer to get their hands on those things!" she yelled.

You said you'd take care of this, but that hacker you hired couldn't even find out who's behind all this! And now, you're questioning me?

The man over the phone was just as infuriated, for he had never expected to be disgraced like this at his old age. Just thinking of the way his wife, children, and grandchildren looked at him filled him with utter humiliation.

"Let's not contact each other from now on." With that, he hung up, removed his phone card from his device, and threw it away at once.

Nancy froze in shock, but by the time she returned to her senses and tried calling again, the number was no longer reachable. She threw her phone to the ground in fury. Meanwhile, the man who had just hung up knelt on the ground inside his study as he gazed at a photograph in his hands, feeling as though his heart had been stabbed.
