Chapter : 279 “You and your husband still don’t have a child of your owns it because you can’t or you don’t want to?” The look of scorn in Lucas‘ eyes became even more prominent. Still, he had a smile on his lips. Others would think that this was just
Chapter : 278 Ariel could sense Jayson’s forcefulness from the amount of strength he was using to grip her wrist. Even though he had tried to maintain a light–hearted tone, Ariel could detect a hint of scorn in his voice. Anyhow, she didn’t like being put in this situation. Ariel

Chapter : 276 Nancy froze for a moment. Then, she said in a regretful tone, “Jayson got injured because of me.” Lucas was rather surprised. “Mr. Larkin saved you from harm’s way?” Nancy merely smiled faintly without saying anything else. Meanwhile, Jayson raised his glass and made a toast. “Mr.
Chapter : 275 It quietened down a little over on Nancy’s side when they heard that unexpected question. People looked in the direction of the voice, one after another. Ariel was momentarily dazed. She had chosen a seat located in a far corner. Yet, someone actually made an effort to
Chapter : 274 Ariel seemed to have caught the eye of the person leading e group. That person halted in his tracks as his gaze fell on Ariel’s smiling face. Then, he glanced over his shoulder at Ariel’s receding figure. The people around him were puzzled. “What’s the matter, Mr.
Chapter : 273 Evelyn got the impression that Ariel was implying she was hardly doing enough as Jayson’s mother. Therefore, Evelyn had no right to make those requests of her.

Chapter : 272 “It seems like Mr. Larkin is even willing to risk sacrificing his own health to help Ms. Stanton.” Chad smiled cynically. He couldn’t help thinking how great it would be if the drone had taken Jayson out completely during the accident that day. Augustine rubbed his belly
Chapter : 271 Ariel was caught slightly off guard by the sudden question Gradually, the realization of what Jayson actually meant dawned on her pretty yet impassive face. Jayson had simply put on an act since Betty was listening to their conversation beside him. He wasn’t really asking Ariel to
Chapter : 270 Chad’s face darkened. “It seems Jayson’s side has offered to help you pay the indemnity for the breach of contract. You’re speaking a lot more boldly now.” Chad wasn’t worried that Seth might leak the information regarding Faye Tech’s projects and the technologies used. It was because

Chapter : 268 Matt asked, “Is Nancy with you?” Jayson merely hummed in response. “Can you put me on speakerphone?” Jayson pressed the button that allowed others to hear Matts voice while he was on the call. Matt asked, “Has Perry contacted any of you recently? Did you guys notice

Chapter : 264 Ariel had just finished the fingerprint scan when the clerk asked the final question. She looked up and replied calmly, “It’s voluntary.” Jayson glanced sideways at Ariel’s unusually composed expression. She had never seemed so firm, yet so at ease. There was even a hint of urgency
Chapter : 263 Edward handed the new agreement to Ariel. She knew the legal process was strict and bureaucratic, so she didn’t say much. Instead, she lowered her head and began reading. The division of assets was largely the same as last time, but this time he added something new.

Chapter : 261 Betty hesitated for a moment, then her voice sank a little. Ari, don’t worry. I won’t let anyone treat you unfairly. If anything ever upsets you, just tell me. I’ll handle it. As far as I’m concerned, you’re my granddaughter–in–law. No one else.” Ariel understood exactly what
