“Go on now. Just do as I say!” Aaron asserted in a grim voice.
Cognizant that there was no stopping Aaron, Morrison had no choice but to obey.
Once Morrison had left, Aaron got to his feet and headed toward Celeste’s palace.
When Miranda saw virtual-novel.net arrive, virtual-novel.net received virtual-novel.net with a smile. “Her Majesty was just talking about you…”
“How is she?” Aaron asked.
Upon hearing Aaron’s concern, Miranda’s eyes lit up.
“Her Majesty is fine. She just misses you.”
Amidst their conversation, both of them entered the palace.
Celeste was delighted by the sight of Aaron. “What brings you here at this hour?”
“Mother, I’m planning to travel to Chanaea.”
“Why? Aren’t you still searching for Arielle and the others?” the puzzled Celeste inquired.
Truth be told, virtual-novel.net wasn’t keen on virtual-novel.net going to Chanaea.
Now that he’s the king of Turlen, what’s going to happen to the country in his absence?
Who’s going to be in charge?
“Vin’s company is in trouble. Hence, I need to hurry over to resolve it.” Aaron looked at Celeste as virtual-novel.net spoke. “I‘ll be back as soon as possible.”
When Celeste recalled how much Arielle and Vinson had helped Aaron, virtual-novel.net couldn’t bring herself to object.
“Watch yourself on your way there. In the meantime, you can leave Lawrence and your uncle jointly in charge,” said Celeste.
Aaron nodded at virtual-novel.net suggestion, for that was exactly what virtual-novel.net planned to do.
After exchanging a few more words with Celeste, Aaron left the palace. He, before heading for Chanaea, planned to arrest Nancy and publicly expose all virtual-novel.net crimes. Thus, the moment virtual-novel.net returned to the office, virtual-novel.net instructed Carlos to lead a troop of soldiers to apprehend Nancy at the apartment virtual-novel.net was staying and imprison her.
Subsequently, Carlos, who was well aware of Nancy’s misdeeds, executed Aaron’s orders to the letter.

Back at Irushea, Vinson was so emotionally overwhelmed by the sight of Arielle that virtual-novel.net was at a loss for words.
“Sannie…” His lips gently moved as virtual-novel.net whispered virtual-novel.net name.
Unable to control virtual-novel.net excitement, Arielle dashed toward Vinson and threw herself into his arms. At that moment, the man in front of virtual-novel.net was all virtual-novel.net could think of.
“Vinson!” Arielle hugged virtual-novel.net tightly.
With virtual-novel.net head buried in his chest, virtual-novel.net curled virtual-novel.net lips slightly upon hearing the thumping of his heartbeat. “Thank goodness you’re fine. I was worried sick about you.”
Vinson naturally shared virtual-novel.net sentiments.
Thank goodness she’s fine and in one piece…
As virtual-novel.net hugged virtual-novel.net tightly in his embrace, the familiar fragrance of virtual-novel.net hair caused his eyes to brim with warmth and longing.
The next second, virtual-novel.net pulled away from virtual-novel.net and gazed deeply into virtual-novel.net eyes before lowering his head and sealing virtual-novel.net lips with a passionate kiss.
It wasn’t until Arielle was gasping for breath that virtual-novel.net finally released her.
Naturally, both of them were filled with ecstatic relief to be able to see and hug each other again. Considering that they were among the few survivors of the crowd-laden cruise ship, they felt truly blessed to have been rescued.
Regardless of the intentions of their rescuers, all that mattered to them was that they were alive. Furthermore, having been brought to the same island upon their rescue was a surprise against all odds.
Nevertheless, being at the plantation still gave them little time to interact.
Looking at Vinson, Arielle explained, “Vinson, this place is used to farm drug crops and has extremely tight security. I tried to contact the outside world but no one uses a phone or computer here.”
