Chapter 166 – A Sacrificial Lamb’s Unexpected Marriage

Filed To Story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage

She felt like she had been studying the wrong book in the past, and the medical book in her hand seemed to open up a new world to her.

Dean Sebastian was right. The regular medicine books were no longer sufficient for Oriana to study. She was truly the proud daughter of the medical genius and needed something more mysterious to lead her into a higher realm.

The medical book seemed to open a chapter in Oriana’s life.

Oriana suddenly closed her eyes and reminisced on the treasure box that was left by her mother, Joyce, in the Ivory Council. She hoped eagerly to find the passcode to the box.

Suddenly, a knocked sounded lightly on the door, and North pushed open the door and walked.

“Oriana, what’s the matter with you? Don’t look at the book any further. Maybe you’ll understand everything at some point and you’ll become more enlightened.” North advised as she moved over to Oriana.

Oriana nodded and put away the medical book. Medicine was a field which needed to be learnt with patience.

Oriana was a little tired she planned to get some rest.

“Oriana, you’re leaving in two days, right? Do you have any plans for the next two days? How about we go shopping together?” North suggested with a smile.

Oriana shook her head and held onto North’s hands.

“Alot has happened recently, North. I just wanna walk around LA alone these two days. Because it might be the last time of me stepping my foot in this city.”

North didn’t insist as she completely respected Oriana’s decision.

“Oriana, I’ll come visit you in Imperial soon.” She added.

“North, are you planning on coming to Imperial?” Oriana questioned interestedly.

“Well, yea. I really don’t have any more relatives here, and there’s also nothing worthy of keeping me here anymore, I may as well join you at Imperial. And, I have a new endorsement. The global spokesperson of Fly Jewelries reached out to me and requested me to work as a brand amba ssador for their brand.” North explained detailedly.

“Fly Jewelries?” Oriana asked with widened eyes.

“Yeah, Oriana. Why are you reacting that way? Haven’t you heard of fly Jewelries?” Fly Jewelries was founded more than thirty years ago. Once it surfaced, Fly had swiftly dominated the Jewelry industry. In recent years, fly has been proceeded to being the biggest jewelry brand in America.” North added enthusiastically.

“Hang on, I was given their magazine.” North excused herself to go get the magazine.

Without a doubt, Oriana had heard of Fly Jewelries, it was a jewelry brand that was created by Deacon’s mother.

In no time, the door of Oriana’s room was pushed open and North had returned with the magazine. “Here. On the front page is the founder of fly, and the godmother of jewelry.” North handed the magazine to Oriana.

Oriana lowered her head and looked at the magazine. On the cover of the magazine was a woman, Lily Midas.

Lily was extremely ravishing. Oriana let out a gasp as she stared awestruck at the beautiful lady. In the picture, Lily was wearing a red dress. The picture was perfectly taken that it was impossible.

for one to look away at first glance.

“Oriana, Lily is very beautiful. The picture you see on that magazine were taken during her fortieth birthday, but she looks extremely young. I wouldn’t be exaggerating if I say that she looks like someone in her early twenties. She’s definitely the most beautiful woman in Imperial.”

Lily Midas is Deacon’s stepmother and Marvin’s biological mother.

North and even the entire Imperial city did not know that the Midas family had two daughters, Lily Midas and Annabelle Midas. And the entire city weren’t also aware that the two sisters had switched places with each other.

Anabelle had become known and seen as Lily. After Annabelle’s death, even her name wasn’t known by the public.

And very few people who knew about Anabelle’s existence, like Bounty, only hated her.

Oriana felt an undescribable love for Annabelle, and wished that she had lived her life and not live under her sister’s shadow.

Apart from Annabelle’s son, Deacon, there was nothing left as a legacy for her.

Oriana now clearly understood why Deacon had reacted so violently when he had seen Annabelle coffin being burnt.

Oriana looked at Lily on the magazine again. At first glance, Lily was stunningly beautiful, but upon closer inspection, her eyebrows depicted fierceness, one that could make people uncomfortable.

Deacon had said that his mother, Annabelle, and her sister, Lily, looked just like twins.

“Oriana, Lily is not only the most beautiful woman in Imperial, but when she was born, there was a fortune-teller who had said that the daughter of the Midas family will be the queen.” North paused to take a breathe, and then she continued.

“At that time, the Midas family was not a wealthy family in Imperial. However, as soon as Lily was born, everything turned around for the Midas family. Once Lily became a little famous, the eldest son of the Armstead family in Imperial capital, Alpha Armstead, fell in love with her.” North added.

When North mentioned Alpha, Oriana lowered her head mysteriously.

“Oriana, do you know what sort of human Alpha Armstead is?” North probed as she was aching to fill Oriana in with all that she knew.

Oriana really didn’t know anything about Alpha. She only knew that Alpha was Deacon’s biological father. Deacon had never spoken about his father.

North handed the second magazine that she was with to Oriana.

“This was an in-house magazine. It was a private interview with Alpha Armstead, the buisness lord. If it weren’t for this collaboration, I wouldn’t have had access to this magazine. Oriana, take a good look at it.” North’s ecstatic voice sounded.

Oriana lowered her head and looked at the man on the cover of the magazine, he was Alpha Armstead, Deacon’s biological father.

Flipping through the next page, Alpha was sitted in a high buisness office. He wore a white shirt and with first glance, once could decipher that he was extremely prosperous.

Oriana focused her attention on Alpha’s handsome face. She now knew who Deacon looked like.

While looking at Alpha, Oriana felt like she was looking at Deacon in twenty years to come.

“Oriana, Alpha Armstead is a genius in the buisness world. He entered the financial industry when he was only a teenager and created his own business empire. He had later inherited the Armstead corporation and had turned the two empires into the current Armstead cooperation. The great business lord fell in love with Lily. It is rumoured that Lily is the queen of fate.” North let out a yawn as she tutored Oriana.

Oriana knew that all the goodness of Lily which North and the rest of the world sang was actually meant for Annabelle. It was Anabelle’s life that North spoke about.

As for Lily, she had always been indoors. The most beautiful woman in Imperial was Annabelle. The founder of Fly Jewelries was also Annabelle. Anabelle was the queen not Lily!

“North, how’s the relationship between Alpha Armstead and Lily?” Oriana finally asked.

“Okay, this couple has always been an admirable pair in Imperial. In recent years, Alpha hasn’t had any scandals and has ultimately maintained a very clean private life.” North responded.

“However, the founder of Fly Jewelries, Lily, is indeed a gorgeous woman. According to history, when she was young, she was wanted by lots of men. Countless rich and powerful children were rushing for her in marriage.” North halted and pondered for a while.

“Withal,” North looked at Lily’s picture in the magazine and shook her head and then said,

“I think that the rumours are a little too much. Lily is beautiful, but I can’t say if she married Alpha for his wealth. A lot of people feel blasphemous when they look at her.”

North was a very up-to-date woman. She always had the latest information and would never say what she wasn’t certain of

Oriana let out a smile. She knew that Anabelle was the queen and not Lily, but she didn’t know how to explain it to North, so just didn’t bother to give it a try.

North held onto Oriana’s hands and questioned.

“Oriana, why are your hands so cold? This is the first time I’ve seen you so interested in a jewelry brand.”

Oriana looked into North’s face and replied.

“North, I have something to tell you

“What’s the matter? Go on and let me know.

“Actually, Deacon is from Imperial city. And his surname may be the exact one you just mentioned. Alpha Armstead is Deacon’s father, ”

North let out loud gasp, as she stared at Oriana in disbelief.

“Oriana, what are you saying? Are you implying that Deacon is the crown prince of the Armstead family. in Imperial?”

North nodded.

“Yes, that’s true.”

North suddenly let go of Oriana’s hands.
