Chapter 1456 Denial
When Arielle bent down to pick up the book, she saw the photo that fell out of the book. It was exactly the same photo as the one she had, except this one was much older.
Coldness surged within her as she looked at the photo. Hah! And he had the audacity to say he didn’t know Maureen when he has a photo of her in his book?
Why would he deny that? Vinson was waiting for Arielle outside but went back in to get her when she didn’t come out. Upon entering the room, he saw her staring at a photo glumly.
Walking toward Arielle, he asked, “Whose photo is this?” He was surprised when he saw the photo. “Where is this from?”
It was the same photo that he had, only this one looked older. He reckoned the owner must have taken out the photo frequently.
“It fell out from one of Dylan’s books,” Arielle said while frowning. Frustrated with the king’s denial, she put the photo back into the book and kept it in her bag.
“What are you going to do about it?” Vinson asked.
Arielle’s hands froze midair as she thought about it. Finally, she sighed and said, “I’m not going to do anything.”
She didn’t expect Dylan to be her biological father. Now that she knew the truth, she hated her father because he didn’t marry her mother despite her being pregnant with his child. Instead, he married another woman and led an easy life while her mother had to suffer.
“You must hate him, right, Sannie?” Vinson pointed out directly.
When Arielle merely pursed her lips and said nothing, Vinson continued, “But you’ve seen how much he cares about you. Besides, isn’t it apparent that the photo has been taken out frequently? I think he genuinely cares about you and Maureen. If you hold any grudges against him, you should go to him and ask him about it.”
Arielle looked down and thought about it. After a while, she accepted Vinson’s suggestion.
“All right, I’ll ask him about it.” Once I’ve settled everything, I can finally go back.
Since she didn’t notify the principal that she was going back to the school, she could use the opportunity to settle the situation with Dylan.
Holding the book firmly, she decided that the photo was enough for her to prove Dylan’s relationship with Maureen. She no longer had to get samples from Aaron so that she could do a DNA test. However, she still needed to ask Aaron for Sybil’s phone number. After all, she needed someone to bring her into the palace since she couldn’t enter the palace directly.
At that thought, Arielle immediately messaged Aaron for Sybil’s phone number.
Not long after, Aaron called.
“Ari? Why do you need Sybil’s phone number for?” Aaron was delighted to see Arielle’s message because he thought that she would never speak to him again.
“I need to talk to him about something,” Arielle said flatly.
Guessing that Arielle already found out that Sybil was her father, Aaron said, “All right, I’ll send it to you right away.” After pausing for a while, he continued, “No matter what happens, I’ll be on your side.”
Arielle hung up without replying him.
The thought of Dylan leaving her mother for Aaron’s mother made Arielle angry at Aaron.
Aaron stared at his phone blankly after Arielle hung up without saying a word. Looking hurt, it took him a while to suppress his emotions before sending Sybil’s phone number to her.
