Chapter : 89 Ariel was already at the airport. She checked in her luggage before replying, “About 4:30 pm.” Jayson fell silent for a moment. “I see. Wait for me when you reach. I’ll give you a ride back to the city.” Ariel thought that he must be calling only

Chapter : 82 Chad lifted his brows and cast a glance in Ariel’s direction. He said unhurriedly, “Everyone, you flatter me too much. To be honest, I’m not the developer of U.N2. I merely witnessed and participated in the process of its creation.” Those around Chad looked shocked and bewildered
