Chapter 1620 Who Is That Woman
Arielle was desperately trying to calm Dylan down. She was worried he would act rashly and confront Nancy without sufficient evidence. That would only put him in grave danger. Dylan took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked, “How much evidence have you gotten?”
Arielle looked around cautiously and said, “Let’s go back and discuss this later, Dad.” They were out in the open, and she was worried someone would overhear them.
Dylan took a hard look in the direction of his mother’s palace and begrudgingly turned to head back with Arielle, causing her to heave a sigh of relief.
In the meantime, the person who had sneaked away after eavesdropping on Dylan and Arielle was running back to Celeste’s palace. “Your Majesty! Your Majesty…”
Celeste frowned when she saw Miranda rushing toward her, panting heavily. “Have you forgotten your age? Why are you still so rash?” There was no hint of anger in her voice as she nagged at Miranda.
“Your Majesty, I-I… m-made… a major discovery!” Miranda stammered while she was trying to catch her breath.
“What is the matter?” Celeste got up and poured her a drink, then added, “Take a drink and catch your breath first. You can take your time to tell me what happened.”
Although Miranda was in a hurry to tell Celeste what she overheard, she was too breathless to even finish a proper sentence. She gratefully took the glass of water from Celeste and finished it in a gulp.
After regaining her breath, she spilled out what she saw and heard earlier to Celeste.
“Your Majesty, I heard a girl call His Majesty Dad! And she said they should produce evidence, throw it in her face so that she couldn’t talk her way out!”
Arielle had been very cautious and was conversely with Dylan in Turlenese, unaware that it had backfired on her. “What did you say?” Celeste sprang up in surprise upon hearing Miranda’s tale.
A girl calling Dylan Dad? How is that possible? Did Dylan betray me and have an affair with someone? Who is that woman?
Celeste felt aggrieved, and her eyes reddened with despair as Miranda repeated word for word what she overheard. She wanted to rush over to question Dylan but rationally held herself back.
“Let’s go pay a visit to queen mother!” she said to Miranda, who instantly understood her intention and followed her. She knew Celeste wanted to find out if Nancy knew about the girl.
Monisha hurried over to greet Celeste when she saw her walking in.
“What is Her Majesty doing now? Is she free?” Celeste suppressed her anxiety and asked.
Although Monisha was the favored aide to Nancy, she knew her place and was acting the part of a loyal servant to Celeste.
“Her Majesty had just finished her work and is taking her rest now,” she respectfully replied to Celeste before leading her to Nancy.
Nancy was surprised to see Celeste. “What brought you here?” she asked, her eyes narrowed as she evaluated Celeste carefully.
“I have something to ask you, Mother!” Celeste took a seat next to her mother-in-law and earnestly asked.
“And what is that?” Nancy was curious.
“Do you know that Dylan has a daughter?” Celeste did not beat around the bush as she was desperate for the answer.
“Who did you hear that from?” Celeste’s question made her mother-in-law lose her composure instantly. Nancy stared sternly at Celeste and repeated her question. “Who did you hear that from?”
