Chapter 1367
Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire
Chapter 1367 Wife Of Vinson âOf course, my parents will be tagging along. It is a rare opportunity to be in Turlen; we have to tour together.â
Dylan felt his heart wrench painfully. Sheâs my daughter⦠Sheâs supposed to share these moments with me. Itâs all my motherâs fault for tricking me back here. Not only did I lose the person I love the most, I even missed out on twenty years of my daughterâs life.
Dylan gave Arielle a wistful gaze. After meeting her, his desperation for power grew even further. Once I wield Turlenâs power in my own hands, I will change the law and the nationâs conditions to declare Arielle as my daughter!
Before Dylan could wallow any longer in his misery, the Wilhelms exited the room.
Dylan was particularly grateful for the Wilhelms. They were the ones who adopted Arielle and raised her as their own. Arielleâs talent and outstanding ability stemmed from the Wilhelmsâ education.
Quickly, Arielle introduced Dylan and the Wilhelms to each other. After informing them of Dylanâs role as their guide of the day, the group set off to their destination.
âEric, what information do you expect to gain from here?â Lana asked Xavier.
Earlier this morning, she decided to tag along after Xavier borrowed her car for a trip to Celestial Lake.
Xavier shot her a brief glance. âWho told you that Iâm here to look into something?â
His reply caused Lanaâs eyes to widen in shock. âThen why are you here? Are you here for leisure?â
She could hardly believe her ears. Earlier, Xavier informed her that heâd be staying here for half a month. Why would he waste so much time here just to fool around?
âIâm here to meet a friend. He picked this place as our meet-up spot,â Xavier explained.
Oh, heâs here to meet a friend. Lana glared at him petulantly. Curse me and my hastiness. I should have asked him the reason behind this trip before I followed him here.
Xavier glanced at Lanaâs face. All he could think of was how cute she looked. âDo you want to meet him as well?â he asked with a chuckle.
Lana shook her head. Iâm not going. Itâs not like I know this person anyway. My presence will just serve to make things awkward. âItâs all right. Iâll just stroll around while you have your meeting. You can pick me up after youâre done.â She didnât want to disturb Xavier too.
Xavier bobbed his head in acknowledgment as he stopped the car. Once they alighted the car, Xavier scanned his surroundings. Promptly, his eyes widened when he caught sight of something that took him by surprise.
âIs that Vinsonâs wife? What is she doing here?â Xavier mumbled in disbelief.
Although he had only encountered Arielle once, the memory of her breathtaking beauty continued to linger on his mind. Furthermore, her identity as Vinsonâs wife left Xavier with a lasting impression.
âWhat did you just say?â Lana asked curiously.
âNothing. Why donât you look around? Iâll call you when Iâm done.â With that, Xavier took off toward Arielleâs direction, afraid heâd lose her if he lingered any longer.
âEric!â Although Lana was dying for an explanation, Xavier had already disappeared amongst the crowd, leaving her in the dust.
Similarly, Dylan brought Arielle and the Wilhelms to Celestial Lake. It was one of Turlenâs famous spots, and many locals frequented the lake.
Enthusiastically, Dylan launched into a lengthy explanation about the lakeâs history and current condition.
Not too far off, Xavier continued to trail after them. Though he wanted a chance to talk to Arielle, the large group of bodyguards around them deterred him and anyone else from getting closer. Hence, Xavier could only watch helplessly from a distance away.
Just as he was in the midst of brainstorming, his train of thought was interrupted by his phoneâs ringtone.
âEric, where are you? I canât find you.â Dillonâs worried voice echoed across the call. He was worried that heâd miss the chance to talk to Xavier.
