Chapter 1622 She Is Not Dead
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! Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
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.
“Arielle!”
“What?” Celeste looked at her mother-in-law, puzzled why she kept talking about Arielle.
“Arielle is Dylan’s secret child!” Nancy blasted out the truth, annoyed that Celeste was too dense to get
the idea herself.
Celeste looked at her in disbelief and asked, “Did you just say Arielle is Dylan’s secret child?”
Her mother-in-law nodded and added, “I kept it from you as I wanted to silently finish her off instead. I
did not expect you to find out Dylan has an illegitimate child. There is no point in hiding that from you
now.”
“But isn’t Arielle dead?” Celeste stared at her and mumbled, “If she is, then how is it possible for her to
be with Dylan and call him Dad? So she is not dead, after all?”
The other woman sullenly nodded and said, “That’s right. She is not dead!”
The news that Arielle was Dylan’s illegitimate child and that she was still alive was too much for
Celeste to handle. She stood there dumbfounded as the past flashed by in her mind.
Arielle was a Chanaean, and Dylan had married Celeste only a year after he returned from Chanaea.
After their marriage, he had not left the country. That meant Dylan had another woman before he met
her, and Arielle was born before they got married.
She had no idea Dylan was in love with another woman before they met. If she had known, she would
not have chosen to marry him.
It was with mixed emotions that she finally realized why her husband had refused to share a space with
her all those years that they were married.
“You had always known that Dylan has a person he loves in Chanaea, didn’t you, Mother?” It was more
of a statement than a question.
When Nancy nodded in affirmation, Celeste broke out in tears.
“Since you knew he was in love with another woman, why did you arrange for me to marry him?” she
shouted hysterically at her mother-in-law, tears flowing copiously from her sad-looking eyes.
All those times, she thought Dylan did not like her and the idea of arranged marriage. She was hoping
that, with time, she could touch him with her love. Alas, the fact was that his heart was already taken by
another woman, and there was nothing left for her.
Nancy was enraged by Celeste’s accusation and shouting, as she had never been treated with such
disrespect in her entire life.
