Chapter 1645 Sudden Death
The woman still felt uneasy even after initiating a murder decree on Arielle, so she turned to her secretary. “Print Arielle’s photos and stick them on every street of the country. On these flyers, brand her as a foreign spy, and whoever spots her or provides any information about her will be given five hundred million as a reward.”
It took only an hour for the secretary to do as instructed, and Arielle was now listed as a wanted criminal everywhere, including on the internet.
Sonia had secretly used her phone and hastily gave Arielle a call after seeing the news online.
In truth, Arielle had already come across the news, but she was still grateful to Sonia for informing her right away.
After a few exchanges and ending the call, she played an audio recording of Nancy’s edict. Coldness filled her eyes as she listened to it.
“The queen mother’s out to get you, Sannie. How about you return to Chanaea for now?” Vinson, who had also come across the widespread order, advised Arielle to return home. They were now in Nancy’s territory, after all.
Arielle understood Vinson’s intentions, but she couldn’t bring herself to leave this place without learning the true reason behind her father’s death. I have to find out how he died and make the murderer pay no matter what it takes. This is the only way I can bring Dad the justice he deserves.
“You know I won’t go, Vinson.”
Vinson was well aware that he couldn’t convince Arielle otherwise either. He was just trying his luck.
The woman’s gaze remained frigid as she browsed through the edict across every phone application. She then opened up her laptop and hacked into the country’s internet system, and tapped away on her keyboard. Soon, a series of explicit photos surfaced one by one on every major online platform before a video begin airing on its own.
“Turn it off! Shut it down now!” Nancy screamed as the video recording of her with a man played on the big screen.
A subordinate had been trying to turn the screen off ever since he noticed something amiss but to no avail.
“I-It can’t be turned off, Your Majesty…”
Shaking with rage, Nancy grabbed her chair and flung it at the screen. The video stopped playing as soon as the screen broke.
“You all had better forget everything you just saw,” she spat out before turning to leave, clearly not in the mood to carry on with the meeting after such a blunder. Then, as though having remembered something, she stopped at the door and turned around. “If this gets out, you’re all dead. You should know me well enough to know what I’m capable of.”
With that, she left in a huff.
The remaining people inside the conference room glanced at each other awkwardly before leaving too.
Nancy had thought only those inside the conference room had seen the video—until she returned to the palace, and Monisha came rushing over immediately, crying while informing the former about all those pictures now being all over the internet. Hearing that, the older woman glanced at her phone briefly before passing out in exasperation, resulting in a panic-stricken Monisha calling the doctor.
At the same time, Arielle finally managed to contact Sybil.
“Where are you now? Are you okay?”
Sybil’s heart felt warm as he heard the woman’s concerned voice.
“Princess, His Majesty is…” Tears flowed down his ashen cheeks as he found himself unable to continue.
Arielle’s eyes also reddened as she thought of Dylan.
“What happened to my dad? How did he suddenly die?”
