Chapter 155

Penulis: Tightrope
Matt spotted Ariel first. His brows arched. Still, he greeted her and Janice. "What a coincidence seeing you here."

Ariel merely cast him a brief glance. Then, she grabbed Janice's arm and led her away. She clearly had no intention to interact with him.

Despite how often Matt had treated her with scorn and disdain in the past, Ariel endured all of it because of Jayson. However, she did not have to do that anymore.

On the other hand, Janice had no intention of speaking to Frederick. She simply ignored Matt and him.

Matt felt quite surprised. He was not mad or annoyed about it.

It seemed to him that Ariel had been growing bolder lately. He could not help but wonder if she was trying to use another approach to catch Jayson's attention.

Just as Jayson had predicted, Ariel did not personally deliver any hangover soup to them the night before the federal holiday.

"Don't you think Ariel is acting a bit haughtily these days?"

Frederick furrowed his brows. He was a little flabbergasted.

    Even though that was what she said, Wendy had kept her gaze fixed on Ariel.It was clear what she was trying to imply. Wendy wanted Ariel to take the hint and back off.Janice was irked. She frowned and got up. "Why don't you be a bit more direct with what you're trying to say, Ms. Johnstone?"All these people were eager to support Nancy. Yet Nancy had only received so much attention and special treatment because of Jayson.In truth, that woman was nothing more than Jayson's mistress.Wendy had not expected Janice to be so rude and unreasonable. She felt quite displeased.Matt took a bite of an apple and grinned. "Ms. Walker, is this really necessary? You want to have the ring that Nancy has laid her eyes on. Nancy's planning to play the piano this time. So, are you going to start learning how to play the piano now?"In his opinion, Ariel must have overheard Nancy's plan and chosen to play the piano too."She's racking her brain, trying to come up with ways to agitate Nancy.

    Ariel fell into deep thought after hearing Janice's words."Is that it?" she pondered.She stared at Jayson with a somber look in her eyes. Ariel could not tell what he was thinking at the moment.If it were just as Janice had predicted, Jayson would be outright trying to humiliate her and the Walker family. Ariel could not stand the thought of Nancy, Sarah's daughter, wearing Elena's wedding ring!"Ari, we'll figure out a way." Janice looked at her worriedly. She noticed Ariel was growing pale. It was obvious Ariel had received quite a blow because of this incident.Ariel calmly nodded. She had no choice but to take one step at a time and see how things would progress.Ariel would have to think of some other way to get the ring back. There were rules they had to abide by for the charity auction. Ariel could not just violate them.She lifted her head and stared ahead. Nancy was clearly in a great mood. She turned her head slightly as she was speaking to Jayson, who listened to h

    Nancy reckoned Ariel probably did not know much about the market price for these types of antiques.Jayson slowly put down his cup. "What matters is that you like it and it'll make you happy. Raise your paddle."Nancy froze for a second. Then, her face broke into a smile. She had a gentle, loving look in her eyes.She lifted her numbered paddle and jutted her chin up slightly. "50 million!"Ariel stared in Jayson's direction after she made the bid. She saw that Nancy had decided not to continue bidding. Yet Jayson convinced her to continue by offering to pay for the ring no matter how much it would cost.Ariel's face was drained of color. At that moment, an indescribable, suffocating sensation overcame her. She felt this pain and numbness in her chest. It was as though her heart was being squeezed tightly.Matt and the others who sat in the first row looked amused as they watched what had happened so far. They cast mocking glances in Ariel's direction, as if they were silently

    Ariel would recognize the ring anywhere.It was a family heirloom that Katie had passed down to Elena. Back then, Elena wore this ring as her wedding ring. At one point, the Sanderson family encountered some financial issues. Morgan took the ring and sold it for cash to gather funds for his business.Elena felt really hurt because of what Morgan did.He did not discuss it with Elena before selling the ring. By the time she realized the ring was gone, it was already too late. The ring was nowhere to be found.Elena still could not forgive Morgan for his actions, even after their relationship fell apart.Although Katie had not said anything, Ariel could tell she would think about the ring occasionally.Ariel never thought she would come across the ring at a charity auction after all these years."I suppose what belongs to the Walker family will eventually come back to us one way or another," she pondered.Even Janice had noticed the sudden change in Ariel's emotions.Tears welle

    Lucas let go of Ariel immediately. "Why didn't you tell me earlier so I could fetch you here?"Wendy smiled. She went up to Lucas and placed her arms around his waist. Leaning against his chest, Wendy mumbled shyly, "I didn't want to trouble you. You kept wanting to do it more even though it was already late last night…"Ariel lowered her gaze expressionlessly.She felt nothing as she listened to those words, whereby Wendy was pretty much declaring that Lucas was hers. Ariel appeared completely uninterested.Just then, Wendy looked at Ariel and beamed. "Can you stay around for a bit longer today? We have a big surprise later, and we need you here."Ariel met Wendy's eyes. "What is it?"Wendy blinked. "You'll find out in a bit."She wanted to keep the event a surprise. Then, Wendy gently pulled Lucas along and led him in a certain direction. "My dad's here. You should go and greet him," she said.Lucas placed his arm around Wendy's waist and followed her. Before he walked away,
