Chapter 1552 No Way She Is Dead
Aaron immediately pulled out his phone to call Arielle. I don’t believe it! There’s no way she’s dead. I won’t believe she’s dead. She…
The phone kept ringing, but no one picked up.
Vinson saw the name on the phone and called for Arielle.
When Arielle saw that, she suppressed her sudden acid reflux and endured the discomfort. She raised her head and met Vinson’s eyes, which had a worried look in them.
‘‘Are you feeling unwell, Sannie?’‘ he asked worriedly.
Arielle’s lips twitched slightly. She wanted to laugh, but she couldn’t. When she saw Aaron’s name, she thought about what the queen mother did and felt awful.
‘‘I’m fine.’‘ She lowered her head. ‘‘I can’t accept his call for now. I don’t want too many people to find out my secret.’‘
He held her and asked, ‘‘What do you plan to do?’‘
Pondering the question for a while, she finally replied, ‘‘I don’t know. But… he definitely can’t know.’‘
‘‘Arielle… Arielle…’‘ Aaron muttered as the phone kept on ringing.
After he hung up, he lay back down on the bed and stared at the ceiling. A moment later, his eyes slipped shut. I hope this is all a dream.
It wasn’t until the sun set that he got up and opened the door. He stood alone outside the manor as a gust of cold wind brushed by him.
With his back to the manor’s flower wall, the sparkler in his hand emitted starry light, interspersed with a cloud of smoke. It fluttered and disappeared in an instant.
Soon, a car speedily approached and came to a screeching halt behind him. Then, the car door opened before a man exited with a respectful expression instead of his usual cold one.
‘‘Your Highness.’‘ He approached Aaron and greeted him in a low voice.
‘‘Is it true about what happened to Arielle?’‘ Aaron asked hoarsely.
‘‘Yes.’‘ The man lowered his head as panic touched his expression. The king had already given the order. How did His Royal Highness still find out?
‘‘I want to know who did it. You have three days.’‘
The man was stunned as a frown formed on his face. ‘‘Three days is…’‘
Aaron turned around. The dark corner he was standing in had pretty bad lighting, but even then, his pale face was clear to behold. ‘‘At most five days.’‘
The man’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he gulped. He wanted to say something, but he pushed it down. Since he had already received a similar time limit anyway, he had no choice but to accept. ‘‘Understood.’‘
Aaron closed his eyes after the man left.
Then, a cold smile appeared on his face. I don’t care who it is. The person who killed her will pay the ultimate price!
Meanwhile, Sonia had returned home. When she thought about her mother’s attitude, she stood at the entrance, feeling hesitant.
‘‘What are you standing there for? If you want to come in, then come in.’‘ Kelly had heard someone approaching the door, and after a peek through the peephole, saw her daughter standing outside. She couldn’t help but open the door when her daughter just stood there.
Sonia was still in a daze as her mother’s piercing voice reached her ears.
Kelly raised her eyebrow. ‘‘What are you looking at? You don’t like what I’m saying?’‘
‘‘No… I…’‘ Kelly’s fierce look was making Sonia uncomfortable.
‘‘Kids these days… They’re getting more and more unruly! Why are you standing in front of the house instead of walking in?’‘ Kelly didn’t even bother to listen to her daughter’s explanation and shot out questions like a machine gun.
Just as Sonia was about to speak, her phone rang. Upon seeing the name on the screen, she carefully pressed the answer button and ran upstairs. Then she closed the door and said, ‘‘Hello?’‘
