Chapter : 79 Matt noticed it as soon as Ariel left the restaurant. “Why is she leaving already?” Jayson turned his head slightly and glanced at her table. He saw that the plate of food he ordered remained completely untouched. “Ha! She’s so annoyingly stubborn.” Matt shook his head as

Chapter : 78 Jayson lowered his gaze and looked at his phone without saying anything. Nancy lifted her brows and stayed silent as well. Meanwhile, Matt patted Frederick’s shoulder. “She won’t do something like that.” Ariel only had eyes for Jayson. She could not and would not dare have an

Chapter : 77 Ariel raised her brows. “A business trip?” “We’re going there for the Aerospace Technology Convention that’s held biennially in Halread. Numerous local and foreign experts will be attending the convention. We’ll see a lot of investors there too. So? Are you interested now?” Chad smirked. Ariel knew

Chapter : 76 Although Sarah was smiling, there was an unmistakable look of smugness and arrogance in her eyes. Ariel’s lips were pressed into a thin line. Her face showed no expression. She did not even respond to Sarah. She just could not bring herself to smile and greet the

Chapter : 75 The Quimby family had thrown a grand, lavish party. Numerous guests had shown up to celebrate the occasion. The Quimby family was also a well–known, prestigious family. Moreover, they shared relations with the Larkin family, one of the top elite families in their city. Naturally, those who

Chapter : 74 Ariel could not figure out the reason. She blurted out next, “You’ll be paying for the new place?” Jayson directed his gaze at Ariel. His lips twisted into a faint sneer. He probably thought Ariel was asking the obvious. It was a well–known fact that he had

Chapter : 73 Ariel turned her eyes to him. While Jayson was still holding Betty’s hand, Ariel spotted a faint lipstick stain on the collar of his white shirt. She swiftly averted her gaze. Ariel could not help wondering if he and Nancy had kissed or gotten a lot more

Chapter : 72 Leonard responded, “Alright. Be careful on your way home.” Ariel did not explain to Leonard how she and Jayson were leaving separately. Jayson was most likely on his way to meet Nancy. He would never sacrifice his time with Nancy to give Ariel a lift home. For

Chapter : 71 When Ariel had rushed over to the nursing home, she found Jayson standing outside, along a corridor, smoking a cigarette. His tall figure seemed to exude a frosty, hostile presence. Ariel could feel her heart beating erratically in her chest. She had a grim look on her

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
