Dead at Heart Chapter 163
Ariel was honestly quite surprised. She had not expected that the highlight of tonight's event was the announcement of Lucas and Wendy's engagement.It somewhat explained why Wendy had asked her to stay around until the end earlier. Ariel wondered if Wendy had considered her as Lucas' younger sister and that she was hoping Ariel would give them her blessings.Lucas stood on the stage and looked down. Despite the dim lights, he found Ariel, who was sitting in a dark corner of the second row.Ariel was probably quite shocked to hear the news. There was a flash of bewilderment on her face. Yet, it happened for only a split second. Then, those emotions seemed to vanish the next instant.Lucas fixed his gaze on her. His eyes reflected the various emotions surging through him.Yet, Ariel merely stared at him expressionlessly without showing any other reactions.In the end, Lucas smiled nonchalantly and pulled Wendy closer to him."We've decided to hold tonight's charity auction in hop
Dead at Heart Chapter 162
Jayson stared at Ariel for about two seconds before averting his gaze. Then, he turned his head and went up the stage with Nancy.Ariel was no longer looking in the direction of the stage. She picked up her glass and drank her juice.On the second floor, Zach and Liam had not missed a single moment of what transpired earlier.Zach leaned back against the couch and chuckled. "How amusing! That lady, Ariel Walker, doesn't seem to know her place. Earlier, she competed with Ms. Stanton for the ring during the auction. Then, she tried to compete with her for the chance to perform on stage."I can literally see her eagerness to prove that she's much better than all the other ladies!"He suddenly recalled the time at the art exhibition when Frederick had told him the gossip about Ariel's husband. Back then, Nancy had even helped Ariel by stopping them from speaking about that gossip.At the very least, Nancy was not someone who was so obsessed with proving she was more superior to other

As soon as Nancy said that, people looked toward Jayson, who remained calm and composed, with shock and delight. All of them would have the honor of watching him perform on stage if Jayson were to agree to Nancy's request.Even Ariel had a look of bewilderment on her face as she directed her gaze to Jayson. She stared at his side profile. Inwardly, she felt like she hardly knew this person.They had been married for several years, yet Ariel had no idea that Jayson could play the piano, even the piano four hands. Jayson had never shown his true self to her.Janice's expression hardened. She straightened her back and said hesitantly, "Jayson won't agree to it, right? If he does, it'll be the same as him helping Nancy to crush and humiliate you…"Ariel pressed her lips together and gazed at the pair calmly.Nancy turned around and looked at the man before her with a gentle gaze. She held her hand out toward Jayson."To be able to help build more schools for the children who need the

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. Al

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
