Chapter 1649Staring out the window as Arielle left, Aaron’s gaze darkened.
She’s right… I must avenge Father!
Although he did give Dylan the herbal concoction, the one who prepared it was Nancy. He had to wait
patiently to discover evidence to throw her in jail.

Alicia’s eyes went watery as she held her blanket on the bed. Ever since the news about Aaron’s
imprisonment spread on the internet, she wasn’t in the mood to study.
She was worried because he did not answer her calls and reply to her messages. She asked for a
month’s break from the lecturers to ask around about Aaron. She went to different places like a
headless chicken, yet there was no news about him.
“Alicia, come out and eat something…” Clement knocked on her door.
Since she hadn’t had any food or water the whole day, he made some of her favorite food.
“Grandpa, I’m not hungry…” Alicia sniffled.
Clement felt heartbroken when he heard the reply.
What happened to Alicia? She has been like this ever since she returned from university a few days
ago. Did someone bully her there?
“Your body wouldn’t be able to take it if you don’t eat anything. Please come out and at least get
something to eat,” he said with a raised voice.
One could tell that he was deeply worried about Alicia.“Grandpa, I don’t want to eat anything!”
Noticing that Alicia choked on her words, Clement was a little anxious.
Have I guessed it right? Did someone bully her in university?
He knocked on the door again and asked nervously, “Alicia, are you crying? Did someone bully you in
school?”
Alicia knew Clement was worried once she heard his voice.
“Grandpa, I’m fine. No one bullied me. Don’t worry about me. Anyway, you should go to bed early.
Everything is all right,” Alicia got out of bed, opened the door, and spoke to him face to face.
“Eat this. I made it for you…” Clement glanced at her for a while before giving her a plate of food.
Knowing that Clement would be more worried if she refused to eat, Alicia decided to take it.
“Grandpa, I’ll eat it later. Go and get some rest.”
Clement turned around after Alicia said so.
Moments later, he gazed at her again and said, “You don’t have to finish it if you don‘t have the
appetite.”
Alicia nodded in response and only closed the door after he left. Then, she gazed at the food for a
while before eating a little.
“Aaron, what happened to you? Are you all right?”
novelbinThe more she thought about it, the more upset she became as she lay on the bed.***
Miles away, Arielle told Sybil the truth about Dylan’s death after coming out ofthe palace. Sybil’s eyes
turned bloodshot once he heard it.
“What a wicked woman!”
How vicious! How could she sacrifice her son for the sake of power…
Sybil was so mad that he almost couldn’t help but rush into the palace and shoot her with a gun.
Nonetheless, he knew that he couldn’t act on impulse.
“Please take care. I’ll avenge my dad…” With that, Arielle left and disappeared into the darkness.
Sybil thought about stopping her from taking any reckless actions, yet he found himself tongue-tied.
When Arielle came home, she told Vinson the truth about Dylan’s death and Aaron‘s attitude.
“I will never let the queen mother off the hook,” With a glint of anger in her eyes, Arielle narrowed them
and looked out the window.
