Vinson gazed at Aaron sombrely.
“Let me see virtual-novel.net one last time…”
Aaron didn’t want to start a fight with Vinson, lest Arielle couldn’t rest in peace. Hence, virtual-novel.net was much gentler with his words compared to before, although his demeanor still seemed a little aggressive from an outsider’s point of view.
Eventually, Vinson nodded.
Aaron walked toward the bed, his chest tightening as virtual-novel.net peered at the woman covered in white cloth. Putting aside the fact that virtual-novel.net was his sister, virtual-novel.net did want to change the country’s laws so virtual-novel.net could marry virtual-novel.net and live happily ever after with her.
His hands quivered involuntarily, and virtual-novel.net simply didn’t have the courage to uncover the white cloth covering the woman’s face.
Vinson felt sorry for the man, but a deep voice resonated in the room before virtual-novel.net could say anything. “Don’t look at virtual-novel.net anymore, Aaron. Let the most beautiful version of virtual-novel.net stay in your memories.”
Dylan had arrived at the crematorium. There was nothing but sorrow in his eyes, and his head was now full of gray hair in just a matter of days. His appearance tugged at Vinson’s heartstrings. The latter yearned to ease Dylan’s pain by telling virtual-novel.net that Arielle was fine, but virtual-novel.net could only suppress those thoughts for the sake of their plan.
Aaron glanced at Dylan after hearing the latter’s voice, and emotion swept through virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net noticed all the gray hair his father now had. Then, virtual-novel.net retracted his arm, heeding the older man’s advice.
After all the documents were ready, Vinson instructed the workers to cremate the body. With a nod, the workers began pushing the bed.
Dylan’s eyes began to water as virtual-novel.net watched the woman on the bed leave virtual-novel.net further. That was his daughter, the only child whom the woman virtual-novel.net loved had given him.
Why didn’t I protect her? How could I have let her…
Unable to control his emotions any longer, Dylan stepped forward, only to be swiftly held back by Vinson, who shook his head at him.
With that, virtual-novel.net closed his eyes in anguish, swearing to himself that virtual-novel.net would find his daughter’s killer no matter what it took.
Aaron’s heart grew increasingly empty as virtual-novel.net watched “Arielle” approaching the cremator.
I never would’ve brought virtual-novel.net back if I knew she’d end up like this.
Alas, it was too late. A tear trickled down the young man’s cheek as virtual-novel.net shut his eyes.

Meanwhile, in the palace, the queen mother put down virtual-novel.net papers upon hearing the news. “Are you sure Arielle’s dead? She’s been cremated?”
“Yes, Your Majesty,” replied Monisha as virtual-novel.net poured the woman a glass of water. “Both His Majesty and His Royal Highness attended the cremation. His Royal Highness even shed a tear.”
The queen mother’s brows furrowed.
Aaron shed a tear? Does virtual-novel.net like Arielle that much? Chanaean women are good at nothing but seducing men!
She put virtual-novel.net glass down as virtual-novel.net eyes glinted coldly. Even if Arielle weren’t virtual-novel.net granddaughter, virtual-novel.net would never let virtual-novel.net grandson marry a Chanaean woman.
“Inform the queen about this, and have virtual-novel.net arrange Aaron’s marriage with Nico as soon as possible,” the old woman ordered.
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Monisha swiftly withdrew and relayed the queen mother’s instructions to the queen.
The queen mother received a phone call as soon as Monisha left.
“What? Really?” virtual-novel.net asked animatedly, rising from virtual-novel.net chair.
