Celeste was taken aback by virtual-novel.net mother-in-law’s reaction, wondering why virtual-novel.net reacted so strongly to virtual-novel.net question.
So virtual-novel.net knew about Dylan and his other daughter but kept that from me?
Celeste was upset and aggrieved that Nancy was helping Dylan to cover up about his illegitimate daughter. She thought they were fighting for power and were on opposing sides. Little did virtual-novel.net expect virtual-novel.net mother-in-law would shield virtual-novel.net son over that matter.
“Who is that woman, Mother? When did virtual-novel.net hook up with Dylan?” Celeste did not answer Nancy’s question.
She only looked at virtual-novel.net pitifully and asked about the other woman. As a daughter-in-law, virtual-novel.net had treated Nancy with respect and thought that was reciprocated. She always felt virtual-novel.net mother-in-law favored virtual-novel.net more when compared to Dylan.
It was a shocking discovery for virtual-novel.net to find out that virtual-novel.net mother-in-law had kept virtual-novel.net in the dark about such a major act of betrayal. She felt all the love and respect virtual-novel.net showered on Nancy had gone down the drain.
“How did you know about Dylan’s illegitimate child?” Nancy did not bother to ask how Celeste felt about the matter.
She was more concerned about who leaked that information. After all, virtual-novel.net thought it was a secret, and even Dylan did not know about the matter.
“Miranda heard a girl call Dylan Dad when virtual-novel.net was in the garden earlier. She told me about it. Otherwise, I would still be in the dark.” Celeste was disgruntled.
She could not comprehend why virtual-novel.net mother-in-law was more concerned about how virtual-novel.net found out about the matter.
Nancy’s face turned white upon hearing Celeste‘s reply.
She jumped up from the couch and stared intently at Celeste, asking, “What did you say? Repeat what you just said!”

While Nancy was losing virtual-novel.net mind over the discovery that Arielle had met up with Dylan, virtual-novel.net son was sullenly slouched on the couch, listening to the audio Arielle was playing back for him. When virtual-novel.net heard his mother admitting to killing Maureen, his heart bled, and it pained virtual-novel.net so much that virtual-novel.net thought virtual-novel.net would die from the heartache.
Knowing that his most beloved woman was killed by his mother, virtual-novel.net was overwhelmed with guilt. He knew virtual-novel.net was too ashamed and would not be able to face Maureen in the other world.
“Sannie… I have let your mom down. And I have let you down too…”
He could not forgive himself, thinking virtual-novel.net was the cause of all those tragedies. If virtual-novel.net had not fallen for Maureen, virtual-novel.net would not have suffered such a tragic fate. He blamed himself, and virtual-novel.net was extremely remorseful.
“It is not your fault, Dad! Mom felt very blessed and grateful to have fallen in love with you and bore you a child,” Arielle held on to Dylan‘s huge, warm hand and comforted virtual-novel.net softly.
Although Maureen had never shared virtual-novel.net innermost feelings with her, Arielle could not remember a single time virtual-novel.net mom had said anything bad about virtual-novel.net dad.
His daughter’s comforting words only made virtual-novel.net more sorrowful, and Dylan’s tears rolled down his cheeks uncontrollably. He was devastated and blamed himself for the sufferings Maureen and Arielle went through. They had lived such a sad life because virtual-novel.net failed to protect them.
It pained Arielle to see virtual-novel.net dad drown in sorrow and self-reproach.

Back at Nancy’s palace, Celeste was stunned by virtual-novel.net mother-in-law‘s dramatic reaction. She quickly obliged virtual-novel.net by repeating what virtual-novel.net had just said.
“Impossible! How is that possible?” The woman muttered to herself, then turned to Miranda, who was standing behind Celeste.
“Miranda, did you really hear that?! Are you sure?!” virtual-novel.net questioned brashly.
Miranda definitely would not dare to utter a single word of untruth to Nancy. She hurriedly swore on virtual-novel.net life that virtual-novel.net was telling the truth and that virtual-novel.net did hear the girl call Dylan Dad.
Nancy’s heart sank as virtual-novel.net heard that.
Arielle is supposed to be dead, so if a girl called Dylan Dad, it could only mean…
