Chapter 1638 Imprisoned
Arielle shook her head.
“Let’s not tell my dad about it yet.”
She had hoped to talk Aaron out of it if possible and would only tell her father if he refused to listen.
Her main reason for doing so was because she believed Aaron was not inherently evil, so she wanted
to give him a chance. The second reason was that she didn’t want her father to feel upset about his
only son betraying him.
Regardless, her main priority at the moment was to help Dylan change his plans to avoid Nancy’s
counterattack. The problem, however, was how she should warn Dylan without arousing his suspicion,
as she didn’t want him alerting Aaron.
A day soon went by, but Arielle had yet to figure out a solution to said problem. Right as she was
racking her brain trying to come up with something, news about Aaron being imprisoned reached her
ears.
“What’s going on? Why did he get locked up?” Arielle mumbled to herself with a confused frown.
I haven’t even told Dylan anything, so why is Aaron imprisoned? Who was it that locked him up? Was it
Dylan? Could it be that he somehow found out about Aaron’s betrayal and locked him up out of
anger? I should give Sybil a call to confirm the situation! If that really is the case, then I might be able to
beg Dylan to let him go! He is my brother, after all!
With that in mind, Arielle whipped out her phone and punched in Sybil’s number.
However, she couldn’t get through to Sybil no matter how many times she tried. With no other choice,
Arielle tried calling Dylan instead, only to realize that Dylan was unreachable as well.
Oh, no… Could something terrible have happened to them?
“Calm down. We’ll head over to the palace and find out what happened, okay?” Vinson suggested
when he saw how worried she looked.
Arielle nodded and quickly packed her stuff before heading out with him.
The one driving the car was the girl that Arielle had rescued the other day. Because they wanted to
know what her motives were for getting close to them, they decided to not expose her true gender just
yet. As such, she still didn’t know that they were already aware of her being female.
Plenty of guards could be seen standing at the entrance of the palace when they arrived outside its
gates.
Both Vinson and Arielle frowned when the guards refused to let them in, even though Arielle produced
the pass she had obtained from Dylan. What? Even the pass doesn’t work? Could it be that something
bad really has happened?
After exchanging glances with Vinson, Arielle walked up to the guard closest to them and asked, “What
happened? Why won’t you let me in?”
As the guard had just been transferred over, he had no idea who Arielle and Vinson were. “What
happened is none of your concern! You should leave if you don’t have any official business here! Stop
causing a scene here, or I’ll have you both arrested!”
Arielle narrowed her eyes and glared coldly at the guard in response.
“W-What do you think you’re doing?” the guard stammered in fear. It was the first time he had been
intimidated by a woman’s gaze.
The tension only dissipated when Vinson grabbed her by the arm and snapped her out of it. Arielle then
retracted her gaze and followed him back to the car.
Surprised that the two of them had returned so soon, the cross-dressing girl quickly returned to her
seat and breathed a sigh of relief. Phew! Thank goodness I didn’t go far, or they would’ve caught me
for sure!
Still worried about her father, Arielle pulled out her phone to spy on Nancy. A few minutes later, she
bolted upright and shouted with tears flowing down her face, “Take us back to the palace entrance!
Turn the car around now!”
