Chapter 1664
Once Lorraine had aplished her mission, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly found a ce to
make a phone call.
“I’ve already handed the item to the other party. My mission isplete. Please settle the rest of the
payment as soon as possible,” Lorraine quickly said as soon as the call connected, not waiting for the
person on the other end of the line to speak.
Upon hearing that, the Duke narrowed his eyes and hung up. A few secondster, he transferred the
rest of the payment to Lorraine.
Seeing the moneye in, Lorraine slipped her phone into her pocket and began walking toward the
apartment.
From now on, I will just be Arielle’s chauffeur…
Her lips curved into a smile, and her eyes crinkled as that thought crossed her mind.
Meanwhile, Arielle raised the sh drive in her hand and asked, “What do you think is inside?”
Vinson shook his head.
I can’t guess what it is. All I know is that it can’t be anything good…
“Let’s go back and take a look.” As he spoke, he put an arm around Arielle’s shoulders and walked
forward.
She put the sh drive into her pocket, then started walking while snuggling close to him.
After they returned to the apartment and washed up, Arielle took out the sh drive and plugged it into
theptop. Vinson leaned closer so they could see what was inside together.
It turned out that the sh drive contained technology from Moranta!
They exchanged nces, starting to doubt the identity of Lorraine’s employer.
Who is he? Why did he give something so important to the queen mother? What deal did they strike
between them?
Arielle‘s first thought was to go and ask Lorraine about her employer. But when she considered that
those in that line of work would surely keep their employer’s identity under wraps, she gave up on that
thought.
They would have to investigate her employer’s identity by themselves.

The person who had contacted Lorraine was Monisha. As the queen mother’s right-hand woman, she
was in charge of handling many of the royal affairs.
When Monisha finally stirred in front of the pce gates, she immediately went looking for Lorraine to
pass her the sh drive. But no matter how hard she searched, she could not find the sh drive.
Instantly knowing something was wrong, she rushed back to report Nancy, not even having time to
clean herself up.
“Your Majesty, this is all because of my carelessness. I should’ve gotten more people to go with me,”
Monisha kneeled on the floor, ovee with remorse.
She could not believe someone had the audacity to rob her right before the pce gates.
Nancy looked grim. That sh drive was very important.
“Check the surveince footage and see which direction they went!” Nancy instructed grimly.
With all the surveince cameras around, I don’t believe they can destroy every single one of them.
While Nancy sent someone to check the surveince cameras, Arielle was also thinking the same thing
over at the apartment.
The contents of the sh drive are not just important to the queen mother but also Chanaea. Without a
doubt, the queen mother will check the surveince footage.
With that thought in mind, she removed the sh drive. Then she hacked into the surveince cameras
along the route they had taken and deleted the section of footage that had caught them on camera.
After that, she put away theptop, and she and Vinson began talking about Aaron.
Leaning into his arms, Arielle murmured, “I struggled before, wondering whether to acknowledge who
he is. But now, both of us have no father. And because he fell for the queen mother’s trap, it means
that he murdered his own father…”
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
“He’s suffering more than me, and my heart can’t help but suddenly ache for him. Regardless of
whether I acknowledge him, he’s my younger brother. The only brother I have rted by blood.”
Now that my father is gone, it’s up to me, his older sister, to protect him. Even if the queen mother
wants to push him around, she’ll have to go through me.
