Chapter : 124 Ariel frowned. Her heart sank. “Why?” “You know the reason better than I do. I hope you won’t attempt something you shouldn’t.” Jayson hung up right after saying that. Ariel had a look of bewilderment on her face. Then, it slowly dawned on her what Jayson meant

Chapter : 123 For a moment, Katie was so shocked that she was at a loss for words. Gradually, she noticed how there weren’t any turbulent emotions reflected in Ariel’s calm eyes. She simply looked serious. Katie opened her mouth, but she only managed to find her voice a while

Chapter : 122 Jayson did not react any differently. “Of course.” It was almost impossible to tell whether Jayson was really being sincere when looking at his proper and elegant demeanor. Lucas paused briefly. He took another glance at Ariel. Then, he left to meet his girlfriend. Ariel had placed

Chapter : 121 Chad was quite surprised by how fast Jayson had received the news. He had only found out about this yesterday, yet Jayson was already taking relevant actions today. Chad acted as though he had little information about the project. He shook his head. “Nothing much has been

Chapter : 120 They rarely shared such moments since the two of them had hardly spent any time together. Moreover, Jayson was not a romantic or affectionate person. Ariel reckoned it was most probably because Nancy did a good job educating Jayson that he turned out to be so considerate

Chapter : 119 Before she could say anything else, Ariel picked up on the sound of footsteps coming from the door. A calm, deep voice said, “Have I gotten here a bit too late, honey?” Ariel was interrupted by the voice. She turned around with a bewildered look on her

Chapter : 118 Lucas narrowed his eyes. There was not a hint of sincerity in his nonchalant voice. “Why don’t you try begging me, Ari? Perhaps I’ll consider helping you escape from the miserable situation you’re in.” Ariel could clearly sense the heavy sarcasm in his tone. She simply ignored

Chapter : 117 Before she could say anything, Ariel heard Nancy’s voice coming down the line. “May I know who’s speaking?” The words seemed to stick in her throat. Ariel felt her mouth go dry. It was even hard for her to swallow. “Did Jayson not save my number on

Chapter : 116 Ariel felt as though a hole was bored through her chest. A cold, empty feeling rose within her. She looked at the photos Nancy shared. One of them was a photo of a resort villa, where they had finished the decorations for the party venue. The next

Chapter : 115 Two cars came to a stop outside. Lucas was the first to get out, followed closely by the uninvited Morgan and Lori. Ariel’s expression darkened. She had never intended to invite Morgan to Elena’s death anniversary ceremony. Most of Elena’s suffering came from Morgan. And in all

Chapter : 114 Lucas didn’t head inside until he’d finished an entire cigarette. After the car was parked, Nancy turned to Jayson. “The way Mr. Sanderson was looking at her felt tense. Did they have a fight?” Jayson was looking at his phone. Without even glancing up, he replied, “No

Chapter : 113 Wendy was being clingy again. Lucas took a drag from his cigarette and ruffled her hair. “Listen to me. Go in and wait for the results. I’ll be there once I finish this.” Seeing his laid–back but firm expression, Wendy knew he wasn’t in the mood for

Chapter : 112 “Ari, tell me the truth. Is there something going on between you and Jayson?” Katie’s eyes were fixed on Ariel. Her gaze was full of worry. Ariel pressed her lips together, unable to bring herself to tell Katie about Jayson and Nancy. Nancy was Sarah’s daughter, after

Chapter : 111 Nancy turned to look at Colton as well, her posture composed and graceful. Colton instinctively glanced at her. After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head. “It’s nothing important. Just wanted to remind you that the meeting with Mr. Boyle from Noirline is at 3:00 pm.”

Chapter : 110 Once the project at Faye Technologies was stable and running smoothly, Ariel could focus on her treatment and start preparing to tell Katie and Leonard about her condition. After she changed into her clothes and stepped out, her phone buzzed incessantly. Ariel picked it up to check.

Chapter : 109 Jayson was actually surprised. He had promised to send Ariel some photos of that painting, so he sent them over when he had some free time today. But to his surprise, the photos he sent only received one gray tick. He didn’t even know when exactly Ariel

Chapter : 108 Jayson never admitted it, so Ariel wasn’t anyone to him. Janice thought today had been a bad day. She wanted to take Ariel out for drinks and karaoke. Ariel used to drink when she worked in PR. But now, with her health issues, she was doing everything

Chapter : 107 Nancy immediately picked up on the subtle jab in Janice’s words. Her brow furrowed, and she shot a displeased glance at her. She didn’t believe she had done anything to provoke Janice. It was likely Ariel’s influence at play. Nancy glanced over at Ariel, who was approaching,

Chapter : 106 Nancy looked confident, graceful, and poised. Zach couldn’t help recalling the moment Ariel threw herself at Jayson. “Who exactly is Ariel?” he asked. Frederick thought for a second. “She’s with Faye Technologies now as Mr. Hockney’s assistant. But if you ask me, their relationship doesn’t seem strictly

Chapter : 105 Ariel’s words were stuck in her throat. Frowning, she looked up at him. “You’re overthinking it, Mr. Larkin. I wasn’t going to ask you for it.” Jayson didn’t answer right away. He simply stared thoughtfully at her face. From his angle, he noticed her slightly sharper chin.
