Chapter 576 – A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage

Posted on March 12, 2025 by admin

Filed to story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage

“Sir!”

Reuben exclaimed, his expression changed.

Anabelle’s heart tightened. She immediately reached out and pulled on his sleeve, her voice revealing a strain she didn’t recognize: “Alpha, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

“Let go! Don’t touch me!”

Alpha stopped coughing and mercilessly swatted her hand away. Anabelle didn’t have time to prepare, his sleeve slipped from hers, and she took two steps back. At this time Willow came over and said: “President Armstead, are you okay? It’s windy here, so let’s get in the car first.”

Willow grabbed Alpha’s strong arm.

This time Alpha didn’t refuse such intimacy. He looked coldly at Anabelle, then left with Willow.

Anabelle froze in place, her hands hanging down at her sides slowly clenched, her eyes suddenly turning red.

“Aunt Anabelle…”

Oriana stepped forward.

“I’m okay, Oriana. I want to go to the bathroom.”

Anabelle said and quickly left.

Alpha and Willow exitted the airport lobby. He quickly pulled his hand away from her, mercilessly smirking: “You go first.”

She knows that he is in a bad mood right now so she rationally says: “Okay. Mr. Armstead. Then I’ll go first. Remember to call me.”

Willow left.

Alpha looked coldly at Reuben behind, “Reuben, what happened to Marcus? I’ll give you a chance. Now explain it clearly to me!”

Reuben’s legs turned soft and cold sweat broke out. This calamity was inevitable for him.

Alpha is such a profound and intelligent person, just thinking a little and can guess what is difficult to understand in it.

“Sir, I… I…”

At this moment, a clear, pleasant voice rang in his ear: “Uncle Armstead, don’t make it difficult for Reuben. He’s fallowing my orders.”

Oriana is here.

Seeing the young lady coming. Reuben wanted to cry. He wanted to say, “Miss, I was wrongly accused! You finally came. I was so scared.”

Alpha’s narrow black eyes looked at Oriana’s slender beautiful face, and he snorted coldly.

When Oriana appeared, Alpha knew what was going on, snorted coldly: “So you sent someone to beat. Marcus?

Forced by Alpha’s dark and strong aura, Oriana calmly nodded, “Yes, I did.”

“It’s okay if you hit him, but did you blame me on purpose?”

Alpha continued to ask.

Oriana still nodded: “Yes.”

Alpha looked coldly in the direction Willow had just left, and asked, “I didn’t understand why my mom suddenly shoved that girl next to me. Was it your suggestion?”

Oriana: “Yes.”

Reuben on the side broke out in a cold sweat for his lady.

Why was this girl so honest?

Alpha looked at Oriana coldly. “Tell me, what do you want to do?”

She walked over to him, clasped her hands behind her back, and said, “Uncle Armstead, did you hear about the princess and the knight?”

“Are you sure you want to talk fairy tales with me?”

Alpha frowned and prepared to leave. He didn’t want to hear.

Oriana calmly smiled and said: “Uncle Armstead, do you feel like Aunt Anabelle is like the fine sand.You hold in your hand? The more you hold on, the faster she goes.”

Alpha stopped and looked at Oriana.

Oriana pursed her lips, her eyes shining. “Uncle Armstead, do you know how to hold fine sand in your hand?”

With that, she stretched out one of her small hands, slowly spread out her soft white palm, saying. “It’s really simple. Let go of your hand.”

It was unknown when she had a handful of fine sand in her hand, now she opened her palm, but the fine sand in the palm of her hand didn’t fall.

Alpha was taken aback, something quickly flashed in his jet-black eyes. About a minute later, he turned to leave.

Alpha left.

Reuben breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed.

In the extended version of the luxury business car, Alpha lazily leaned back in the back seat. This time he didn’t read the document but took out his mobile phone and read the fairy tale princess and knight on the browser.

The princess and the knight are destined not to be together, the knight’s duty is to protect the princess’s happiness, and the prince’s duty is to be happy with the princess.

Alpha put away the phone, turned his head to look at the scenery passing by the window, understood what Oriana meant.

For so many years, he was Anabelle’s knight, but not the prince..

Alpha thought again of the fine sand placed in Oriana’s palm just now. The more fine sand is held tightly, the faster it will disappear. The only way is to let go of his hand.

Reuben in front carefully observed his master’s face. He said, “Sir, don’t blame the young lady. She’s smart. She will do everything for her own reasons. I can see she is untying your relationship with the madam.”

Alpha glanced at Reuben, his thin lips curled into a half-smile. He said, “Young lady, young lady. You’re always calling your young lady right now. Reuben, who are you listening to right now?”

Reuben startled, sweating all over, “L… Of course I’ll be loyal to you!”

“Forget it.”

Alpha smiled. “Not only you, now even the old lady has tricked me because of Oriana. The Armstead family will sooner or later be handed over to her. You did nothing wrong.”

Reuben looked worriedly at Alpha. Apparently… He recognized the young lady’s identity as the head. of the family.

Alpha was silent for a few seconds, then picked up the cell phone again and dialed a number.

This call wasn’t for Anabelle but for Willow.

Oriana officially returned. Sadie worriedly said: “Princess, you’re back. Tomorrow is Naomi’s 20th birthday. I’m afraid you won’t make it in time.”

“I haven’t been here for a few days and what happened to that fake girl and her parents?”

Oriana asked.

Sadie replied angrily, “Doesn’t Mr. Armstead want to hold Naomi’s birthday party? The location has already been decided. It’s at the most luxurious seven-star hotel in Greenland. I heard that her parents are very happy. Oh, they’re so arrogant these days. Everyone says Mr. Armstead is their son-in-law. Tomorrow’s birthday party, they’ll all invite their relatives from the mountains. They’re going to show it off in an explosive way.”

Compared to Sadie’s anger, Oriana was very calm. She smiled and said, “Oh, I get it.”

“Princess, aren’t you really angry at all? What does Mr. Armstead want? He’s already praised the Naomi family so much. It’s too much!”

“You’ll find out what Deacon wants tomorrow. Sadie, let’s go.”

Oriana stood up.

Sadie wondered: “Princess, where are we going?”

She really felt that insiders weren’t in as much of a hurry as outsiders. This time, Deacon’s emotional behavior was really disgusting and Naomi’s parents were too mean. She was very angry at the crazy rumors circulating outside, but her princess wasn’t angry at all, which was strange.

Oriana wasn’t angry because according to her, the matter with Naomi was Deacon’ business, not hers. He will handle it on his own, now she also has her own work to do.

“We’re going to Aunt Bounty’s apartment.”

Oriana said.

What? Go to Bounty’s apartment?

“Princess, why are we going there?”

Oriana thought for a moment, then replied, “Uncle Armstead and I checked the people in the Armstead family that year. They are all clean, no problem at all. I don’t know why mermaids would have made it into the Armstead family that year, unless… It was the Armstead family who brought them in.”

Sadie gasped in surprise.

Oriana continued to speculate: “Mrs. Samantha and Uncle Armstead absolutely didn’t do it. They stayed at the Armstead family for so many years, profound and wise, so there would be no problem

Aunt Anabelle was locked in the Red Velvet room so it’s not her. That problem was probably with Aunt Bounty, and the mermaids at that time also chose her as a weak point to enter.”

“Aunt Bounty is in a coma right now. I can’t ask her anything so I have to go to the apartment where her accident happened. I always feel… like I’ve missed something, and I still feel… I am just one step away from the truth!”

Oriana and Sadie went to the apartment where Bounty’s accident had happened and into Bounty’s Toom.

The room was clean and there were no traces left.

Oriana watched carefully little by little. She soon found the sofa, where she found the word “Naomi”!

Sadic hurried over and saw it too. She asked, “Princess, there’s a word here, 鈥楴aomi’! Oriana looked at the word “Naomi”. It was hidden deep, written in blood, squiggly, seemingly in a hurry. Molly disguised herself as Betty, always hiding beside Aunt Bounty. Apparently Aunt Bounty knew something before the accident, and the word “Naomi”

written in blood was the most important clue. Naomi? What does it mean? Oriana sat on the sofa where Bounty fell, stretching her slender fingers and stroking the word “Naomi”
