By the time the help cleaned Cindy up, Dylan had returned to the palace. In virtual-novel.net attempt to avoid triggering Cindy’s hysterical response, Arielle put on a summer hat that covered virtual-novel.net entire face except for virtual-novel.net eyes. This time, virtual-novel.net brought a sedative with virtual-novel.net as a precaution. In the event Cindy went on a rampage, virtual-novel.net would be able to put it to use.
Since it was the first time Vinson saw virtual-novel.net dressed that way, virtual-novel.net smiled in amusement at how good virtual-novel.net looked.
Upon arriving at the hut Cindy was living in, they found the stench had dissipated significantly after the room had been cleaned.
Inside, Cindy was already asleep with virtual-novel.net body curled up by the wall. She was evidently exhausted from the long struggle earlier.
Arielle casually walked up to virtual-novel.net and knelt down to take virtual-novel.net pulse. Frowning to herself, virtual-novel.net realized virtual-novel.net speculation was spot on, and that Cindy’s madness was the result of virtual-novel.net being drugged.
Who did this to her? Is it the same person who brought virtual-novel.net here? But why continue to do it when she’s already here?
Questions abound in Arielle’s mind as virtual-novel.net narrowed virtual-novel.net gaze. Retracting virtual-novel.net hands, virtual-novel.net turned and walked out.
When Vinson, who was waiting at the door, saw virtual-novel.net emerge, virtual-novel.net asked softly, “How is she?”
As both of them walked back to the house, Arielle revealed virtual-novel.net thoughts, “She’s been drugged, just like we suspected.”
“We’ll have to wait for virtual-novel.net captors to start their search. By then, we’ll have more clues.” Just as virtual-novel.net spoke, Vinson added, “Are you going to treat Cindy?”
Treat her?
Arielle shook virtual-novel.net head. “Not for the time being.”
Vinson cocked his brow. “Why?”
“She’s my mom’s murderer, for goodness sake! She should be glad that I didn’t kill her. There’s no way in hell that I’m treating her. What are you even thinking of it?” Arielle commented in surprise.
Even if virtual-novel.net wanted to treat Cindy, it would be a decision for later. Naturally, Vinson agreed with virtual-novel.net stance, for all that mattered to virtual-novel.net was that virtual-novel.net was happy.
“What is the situation with Harvey and Xavier? Are there any developments on the queen mother’s end?”
At the moment, virtual-novel.net father’s power struggle was the center of virtual-novel.net attention. Since that was what virtual-novel.net wanted, virtual-novel.net endeavored to get it for him.
“There are no updates for the time being.”
After all, neither Harvey nor Xavier contacted virtual-novel.net recently. If they had any news, they would definitely have done so.

Underneath the moonlight, Vinson held Arielle’s hand.
“Don’t worry, we’ll definitely help your dad take back his authority.”
Arielle nodded while grunting in acknowledgment.
Upon returning to the house, they each went to shower. By the time Arielle came out, virtual-novel.net saw Vinson with only a towel wrapped around his waist. In front of virtual-novel.net was a laptop on which his fingers were furiously typing away.
The moment virtual-novel.net saw her, virtual-novel.net dropped what virtual-novel.net was doing and walked toward her.
“Don’t worry about it, I’ll manage on my own. You should go back to your work.” Considering that virtual-novel.net hadn’t turned on his laptop for quite a few days, Arielle knew that virtual-novel.net likely needed to work late. Hence, virtual-novel.net felt it better not to take up his time.
Nonetheless, Vinson ignored virtual-novel.net words.
How can work ever get in the way of spending time with my wife?
Taking Arielle’s towel from virtual-novel.net hands, virtual-novel.net dried virtual-novel.net hair with it before blowing them dry with a hairdryer.
At that moment, Arielle was overwhelmed by bliss.
Just when virtual-novel.net was lost in virtual-novel.net own thoughts, Vinson put down the hairdryer and carried virtual-novel.net over to the bed. Before virtual-novel.net could react, virtual-novel.net had already leaned in to bite virtual-novel.net lip.
