Chapter 1621 Remorseful
Celeste was taken aback by her mother-in-law’s reaction, wondering why she reacted so strongly to her question.
So she 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 she expect her mother-in-law would
shield her son over that matter.
“Who is that woman, Mother? When did she hook up with Dylan?” Celeste did not answer Nancy’s question. She
only looked at her pitifully and asked about the other woman.
As a daughter-in-law, she had treated Nancy with respect and thought that was reciprocated. She always felt her
mother-in-law favored her more when compared to Dylan. It was a shocking discovery for her to find out that her

She felt all the love and respect she 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, she thought it was a secret, and even Dylan
did not know about the matter.
“Miranda heard a girl call Dylan Dad when she 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 her mother-in-law was more
concerned about how she 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 her mind over the discovery that Arielle had met up with Dylan, her son was sullenly
slouched on the couch, listening to the audio Arielle was playing back for him. When he heard his mother admitting
to killing Maureen, his heart bled, and it pained him so much that he thought he would die from the heartache.
Knowing that his most beloved woman was killed by his mother, he was overwhelmed with guilt. He knew he 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 he was the cause of all those tragedies. If he had not fallen for Maureen, she
would not have suffered such a tragic fate.
He blamed himself, and he 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 him softly.
Although Maureen had never shared her innermost feelings with her, Arielle could not remember a single time her
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmom had said anything bad about her dad.
His daughter’s comforting words only made him 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 he failed to protect them.
It pained Arielle to see her dad drown in sorrow and self-reproach.
Back at Nancy’s palace, Celeste was stunned by her mother-in-law’s dramatic reaction. She quickly obliged her by
repeating what she 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?” she questioned brashly.
Miranda definitely would not dare to utter a single word of untruth to Nancy. She hurriedly swore on her life that she
was telling the truth and that she did hear the girl call Dylan Dad.
Nancy’s heart sank as she heard that. Arielle is supposed to be dead, so if a girl called Dylan Dad, it could only
mean…
