Chapter 100

Penulis: Tightrope
Ariel held Janice back. She calmly looked at Frederick. "We're here representing Mr. Hockney."

"Since when has Mr. Hockney become so negligent, so much so that he'd send the likes of you to attend an event like this, which is vital for networking?" Frederick frowned, clearly puzzled.

He knew Janice's character. She was only interested in the pleasures of life. As her friend, how could Ariel be any better than her?

Ariel knew Frederick was prejudiced against her. She didn't explain herself. Instead, she tugged Janice along and went to another exhibition hall.

In doing so, she passed by a man who was walking in their direction.

When Zach Quinton laid eyes on her, he couldn't help but gaze at her for several seconds.

Frederick followed his gaze and stepped forward. "Mr. Quinton, that's my younger sister. She has always been unruly. I must keep an eye on them so they won't do anything inappropriate."

"Are they both your sisters?" Zach asked with an eyebrow raised.

Frederick was jus

  • Dead at Heart   Chapter 136

    Ariel knew Jayson only cared about the photos because of Betty, but since they were getting a divorce, there was no need to keep up appearances behind the scenes.Deleting the photos was the best solution. There was no point in taking up space on his phone and risking Nancy seeing them and getting the wrong idea.Jayson's eyes lingered thoughtfully on her face for a few seconds. Then he smirked lightly. "Fine, whatever you want."He turned and headed into the bathroom, not insisting or pushing. He was probably even relieved.Ariel didn't bother guessing what was really going on in his head. She rubbed her temples, feeling troubled.Betty staying over was unexpected, and it looked like she planned to be here for a few days.Ariel couldn't keep coming here.She sat on the bed waiting for Jayson to finish showering and took the time to organize some project plans.When Jayson came out, his hair was half-dried. He walked while typing away on his phone.Ariel paused, wondering if c

    When Ariel returned to the marital home, Betty instructed Georgia to simmer some soup. The bubbling sounds from the kitchen filled the air with a subtle, savory aroma.Betty smiled warmly when she saw Ariel come in. "Why are you alone? Where's Jayson? Is he parking the car?"Ariel stayed calm. "He had something to take care of. I came back first."Betty's smile faded instantly. "Whatever it is, it's after work hours. He could've at least come with you!"Ariel forced a small smile but said nothing."Has work been this busy lately?" Betty had Georgia pour Ariel a glass of juice. "Georgia said you and Jayson hardly come back here anymore. What's going on?"Ariel paused, uncertain how to respond.Betty had no idea they were planning to get a divorce. She simply assumed they were both tied up with work and looked at Ariel with concern.Ariel couldn't help feeling frustrated and resigned. She had no idea what Jayson was planning to do. If he didn't tell Betty, how was she supposed to

    Jayson gave Ariel a thoughtful glance, as if piecing together the situation in his mind. After a brief moment, he looked away coldly, then turned his attention to Perry and Lucas.But Ariel caught something strange in that look."Why did you come here?" Perry asked, clearly surprised.Nancy explained, "Matt had something come up last minute and asked us to come. What's going on here?"She wasn't happy.Why was Ariel here? They'd been running into each other way too often lately. This was their usual circle. Ariel somehow slipped in quietly.Perry felt a headache coming on. He hadn't expected things to get so messy. Matt was really unreliable.Jayson strode in and asked seriously, "Mr. Sanderson, what's going on here?"Perry frowned. How could Lucas explain? If he had said he only acted because of Ariel, Jayson would have only overthought it.Lucas' eyes flickered with something subtle. He pulled Wendy into his arms and said casually, "It was just a misunderstanding. We had a l

    Ariel didn't even have time to react. While applying pressure on her lower abdomen, she looked up in shock.Blood was already smeared at the corner of Perry's mouth. His face darkened with fury.Across from him, Lucas' usually roguish gaze had turned cold and sharp. Without a word, he stormed forward and grabbed Perry by the collar."What the hell are you doing with her? Don't you know who she is? You sure have a bad taste in women!"Perry had never taken that kind of disrespect from anyone. He immediately threw a punch in return. "Show some respect for me and Ms. Walker!"Lucas ran his tongue over the corner of his mouth and let out a cold laugh before lunging forward again.Respect? After what he just saw? Perry's ears were burning red!Just as it looked like the two men were about to come to blows, Ariel stepped in with a pale face. "Lucas! What the hell is wrong with you?"Lucas froze mid-motion and glanced back at her. He gave a cold, mocking laugh. "Did you want this?"H

    Ariel walked to the hospital's entrance and sat down on the stone steps to rest.The expert Ewan had mentioned had no set date for his return. And if he really was a renowned expert, getting an appointment with him would be a battle.If she could find some way to contact him directly, maybe she could buy Leonard more time."Ms. Walker?"Ariel looked up at the voice.When Perry walked over, he took a quick look at Ariel and noticed her face still looked pale and worn. It reminded him of the last time he had brought her to the hospital."You're not feeling well again?" he asked.Ariel seemed momentarily distracted, then shook her head. "No."Perhaps realizing that her reply sounded too curt, she asked, "What are you here for?"Perry held up a pharmacy bag. "I come by regularly to pick up Freya's inhaler."That made sense. Ariel recalled that Freya suffered from asthma—her health had never been great. Perry, at least, was a good brother. He was always meticulous when it came to

    Zach had watched the whole thing unfold—from when Ariel opened Jayson's car door to when Nancy, the actual girlfriend, showed up.He couldn't help but shake his head with a chuckle. Why did he always end up catching these entertaining little dramas?No wonder Ariel had given Jayson that look earlier. It turned out she had another idea brewing. And now, just as she tried to get in his car, the actual girlfriend came and put her back in her place."What's so funny?" a low male voice asked from the phone.Zach flicked the ash from his cigarette. "Just saw a juicy little scene unfold. I'm telling you, too much romantic luck can be a pain. Some women really have no end of tricks when they're trying to get a man's attention."The voice on the other end was calm and cutting. "Since when did you get so gossipy?"Zach choked. "Only you would say that to me. I'm just enjoying the show."He stubbed out the cigarette and changed the subject. "Liam, when are you coming back? Are you going to
