Dead at Heart 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 him and walked away.The smile on his face faltered as Lucas watched Ariel's receding figure.She must love Jayson deeply judging by how she had remained meek and submissive despite having been treated like this.Lucas stared at Ariel from behind for quite some time. Then, he took out his phone and snapped a photo of her from where he was standing. Then, he sent the photo to a WhatsApp chat window, which he had not sent anything to before."Mr. Larkin, Ari might just retaliate if you push her too hard. She's found out that you're celebrating Mrs. Stanton's birthday. The situation might get ugly if she shows up and causes a ruckus at the party."How about this? Let Jadeon Technologies own one percent of Bluu

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 his phone?" She wondered.Ariel looked down at her feet and asked, "Where's Jayson?""He's beside me. I'm afraid he won't have the time to entertain you today," Nancy replied unhurriedly.The calm, steady tone in her voice made it sound as though Ariel was the mistress who had to keep her identity a secret and could be dismissed at any time.Ariel furrowed her brows.Just then, she picked up on Colton's voice speaking in the background. "Ms. Stanton, a staff member from the bakery called and asked if they should deliver the cake to the venue first?"Ariel hung up right away. She stood in the same spot for quite some time. Her face was drained of color. With a frown on her forehead, she gently rubbed her abdomen. The discomfort in tha

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 photo was a photo of an exquisite emerald jewelry set.Ariel recognized the set of jewelry. It was the one Janice had witnessed Jayson spending seven million dollars on at a jewelry shop when he and Nancy went there.The jewelry set turned out to be a gift for Sarah.This somewhat explained why Ariel did not receive any replies from Jayson even after she had contacted Colton. It seemed like Jayson had made his choice from the start.Nancy included a caption along with the photos. "This will be the liveliest and the most extravagant birthday party that we've ever thrown for my mom. There's a special someone whom I feel extremely grateful to… Everyone, please look forward to the fireworks show tonight!"It was obvious who the special some

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 the years since she passed, Morgan had never once visited her grave.So what was he doing here now?"Ari, why didn't you let me know about today?" Morgan, frowning, walked up to her. His expression showed a mix of frustration and resignation. "I should be here for this."Ariel instinctively glanced at Lucas. If it weren't for him, Morgan might have forgotten the day entirely.When Lucas met her gaze, he frowned as if he was about to say something.But Morgan waved his hand and said, "Don't blame Lucas. Elena and I were once married, after all. How could I forget this day?"Ariel couldn't help but feel amused. Morgan's hypocrisy was sickening. Of all days, he chose to show up today?The Walker family was

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 idea."He was truly cold.But Nancy smiled, satisfied. She liked this side of Jayson—the version that couldn't care less about Ariel."Do you want to go up?" she asked with a smile, dropping the subject.Jayson checked his watch. "I've got something to handle at the office. I'll visit your mom another time."Nancy didn't push it. She stepped out of the car and said, "Drive safe.""I will. Go on in."After seeing Jayson off, Nancy headed upstairs and found Sarah reading. As she sat down, she casually mentioned that Jayson had dropped her off and that they'd bumped into Ariel.Sarah turned a page and smiled. "As expected, Ariel really takes after that useless mother of hers—pathetic and dumb. They couldn't even

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 her antics. She gave his arm a little shake. "Okay, fine. But don't keep me waiting too long."When she had broken Lucas' cup, seeing him angry made her feel both nervous and a little giddy. On instinct, she pretended to have a stomachache to ease his anger.Thankfully, after cleaning up the broken pieces, Lucas brought Wendy straight to the hospital.The fact that he cared about her so much made it impossible for her to admit she'd faked the stomachache.Once Wendy had gone inside to the ER waiting area, Lucas finally looked in the direction Ariel had left.For just a second, he wondered if she had seen that. Would she be furious and jealous again?He frowned at that thought. With the cigarette between his fingers, he strode quickly

"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 all. If Katie found out, she'd be devastated."He'll come," Ariel finally said, choosing to avoid the heart of the matter.Katie stared at her for a moment, then sighed. "If it weren't for the bond between Jeremy and Timothy as war comrades, I would've confronted Betty myself by now and demanded an explanation."It was Betty who had firmly agreed to the marriage back then, promising that Ariel would never be mistreated. Katie had believed her.But now? What was with this lukewarm attitude?Ariel gently tried to calm Katie. "Grandma, it's late. You should go get some rest."She would handle these things herself. She didn't want Katie getting involved and ending up angry or hurt.Katie seemed like she wanted to say

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."Jayson's eyes remained unreadable. He gave a faint nod and walked into his office.Nancy followed behind him without a word.As Colton watched the two disappear into the office, he decided to keep his mouth shut.With Nancy present, bringing up Ariel felt inappropriate.Besides, Jayson had never visited Elena's grave over the past few years. Why would this time be any different?Even if he brought up the third death anniversary ceremony, there was no guarantee Jayson would agree. Colton didn't see the point of ruining their mood by mentioning Ariel.…Ariel, of course, had no idea what Colton was thinking or what had transpired.After work that evening, she didn't go home. Instead, she headed to the nursin

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. It was a series of photos from Janice. The pictures were taken from a discreet angle.In them, Jayson was at a jewelry store in a shopping mall, accompanying Nancy as she browsed. She was holding a beautiful emerald necklace.It turned out that he had been on a date with Nancy and had just squeezed in time to call her.Janice wrote, "Damn it! What a bad day! I was right next door, watching Jayson swipe his card like crazy for Nancy, buying her endless luxury gifts. Just a minute ago, he bought her a seven-million-dollar emerald jewelry set."He didn't even blink! Seriously, that little mistress sure is living the high life!"Ariel slowly looked away from the photos and reflected on her marriage to Ja
