Chapter : 70 Perry had already registered that Ariel wasn’t well, so seeing her faint again only amplified his worry. He wondered if Jayson knew. Ariel didn’t sleep a wink that night and was in a terrible condition when she woke up that morning. The issue of the art gallery

Chapter : 69 When Ariel woke up, her body felt weak and limp. As she stirred slightly, Freya’s delighted voice rang out beside her. “Ms. Walker, you’re awake! Are you still feeling unwell?” Ariel turned. “Why are you…” Freya helped her up and explained, “Perry and I brought you to

Chapter : 68 After Sarah’s divorce, she might have walked away with a few tens of millions at most, but they were still a far cry compared to true elite families. Nancy frowned slightly, and Matt agreed that Ariel’s words were sharp. “We were having a civil conversation; what’s with

Chapter : 67 At 4:00 pm, the sky was gloomy with a biting cold wind rushing through the air. Ariel received another call from Katie. “Grandma, what’s wrong?” Katie rarely called during working hours, unless it was something urgent. Katie hesitated for a moment before saying, “Ari, remember I mentioned

Chapter : 66 Ariel wasn’t surprised as she sat down and began sorting through the documents. “Even if I say no, Jayson will find another way.” Chad frowned. “What’s so special about that woman anyway? He’s head over heels for her!” Ariel shook her head. “Love was never supposed to

Chapter : 65 Ariel was simply stating a fact. Wendy looked at Lucas in surprise. She hadn’t known Ariel had been married. Lucas narrowed his eyes. He could tell that there were serious tensions between Jayson and Ariel. The latter wasn’t the kind to make a scene unless she was

Chapter : 64 Wendy noticed Ariel and greeted her with a smile, “Come join us. We’re all family, after all.” Technically speaking, she was Ariel’s sister–in–law, so there was nothing wrong with the remark. Lucas raised a brow. “Sure. Since my wife said so, care to join us, Mr. Hockney?”

Chapter : 63 “Up to you. Just make sure you explain to Grandma when she asks.” Jayson gave Ariel a long look as he adjusted his tie. She instantly understood. So, this was just about pacifying Betty, who’d been complaining about his lack of concern for Ariel. Downstairs, Betty had

Chapter : 62 Ariel frowned slightly, and her thoughts gradually cleared. She was probably just too anxious. She’d closed the file, so Jayson shouldn’t have seen any of Faye Technologies‘ core content. Still, her instincts told her there was something unusual in the way he’d looked at her. Instead of

Chapter : 61 A wave of mortification washed over Ariel, rooting her to the spot. Evelyn’s seemingly innocuous words felt like a dismissive assessment, reducing her to an object of scrutiny. Just to bear a child, she had to be assessed for her qualifications! She was completely insignificant compared to

Chapter : 60 Ariel helped Betty to her seat and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of myself.” Betty caressed her bony wrist in distress. “You call this taking care? Look at how much weight you’ve lost lately! “Plus, pregnancy takes a toll on women. You’ll suffer if you

Chapter : 59 Colton’s surprise was absolute as Ariel swept past him, her eyes fixed straight ahead, offering him no acknowledgment whatsoever. What had gotten into her? It was obvious she’d seen him, yet she hadn’t even offered a polite greeting. “Mr. Zeller, what’s going on?” someone called out to

Chapter : 58 Ariel stayed silent and composed most of the time, treating Perry with polite detachment. He pressed his lips together before saying, “That’s good then.” She turned slightly to his side and asked, “Mr. Houston, is there anything else?” “No. I’m leaving,” Perry said; he got the message.

Chapter : 57 Thank goodness you were fast to react, Jayson. Nancy almost got burned.” Matt noticed the detail and exhaled in relief. 1 All eyes turned to Nancy. She’d indeed been quite close to the grill. Seeing everyone’s concern, Nancy smiled and said, “It’s okay. I’m fine.” The culprit

Chapter : 56 Silence fell over the scene. Ariel gave Matt a cool glance, while Perry eyed her and stepped in to say, “I don’t think Ms. Walker needs to handle something like that.” This was something the waiters should be doing. Both Chad and Ariel immediately understood what Matt

Chapter : 55 “Oh? Sounds like you really admire the developer of U.N2,” Chad said, giving Matt a meaningful look. Matt replied, “Who wouldn’t? I’m sure everyone admires a genius developer like you. His words were half genuine admiration and half strategic flattery, a veiled attempt to initiate a partnership.

Chapter : 54 Ariel didn’t mind. Throughout the meal, Chad was attentive to her needs by handing her skewers, slicing grilled meat for her with scissors, and passing her a napkin the moment she needed one. All the meticulous care didn’t go unnoticed by those around them. Even Nancy frowned

Chapter : 53 It was obvious that Jayson and the others had come here with Perry for the New Year. Ariel finally understood why he’d turned down Betty’s suggestion to celebrate the New Year with her. It seemed he had plans with Nancy. In his world, Nancy came before everything

Chapter : 52 When Ariel noticed Perry standing not far away, her expression remained calm. She simply gave a polite nod as a greeting and did nothing more. Perry could feel her indifference. At this point, he no longer believed she was playing hard to get. Back then, he might

Chapter : 51 Ariel had no interest in Jayson and Nancy’s sweet routines, but even if she’d given up on him after three years of marriage, she couldn’t act indifferent however she wanted to. What cut deepest was witnessing Jayson doing with Nancy all the things she’d once longed for
