Chapter 179

Author: Tightrope
Unlike Matt, who was stunned, Jayson's face showed no reaction at all. His gaze was unreadable, resting thoughtfully on Ariel.

Ariel had already set the pen down.

No wonder Jayson brought out a brand-new divorce agreement. He wanted to keep full control of the negotiation from the start and bind her with his own rules.

But it didn't matter now. She didn't care enough to fight anymore.

As long as she could finalize the divorce quickly, she was willing to go along with anything.

She pushed the agreement back toward Jayson. "Can we proceed now?"

Jayson glanced at the signature and then looked up. "Yes."

It wasn't often couples negotiated like this at the courthouse.

After going through the process, the judge glanced up at them. "Do you have children?"

Ariel's throat tightened before replying, "No."

Jayson didn't react.

But Matt curled his lip in disdain. Ariel might've wanted kids, but Jayson never gave her the chance.

"Alright. The documents you've submitted will be reviewed.

    Ariel propped herself up in bed. "What happened?"Arthur had a grim look on his face. "It's Bluum Corp's board of directors. Shane has called for a meeting today. He's probably trying to seize control of the company."Ariel frowned. She had suspected something like this might happen, especially with Jayson in critical condition.Some factions had been waiting and quietly preparing for this moment ever since Shane and his parents returned to Croinia."Our board is divided into several factions. Although Mr. Kyle and his family were sent abroad years ago, they never gave up on expanding their influence at headquarters."They've planted loyalists within the company—people who will side with Mr. Kyle when decisions need to be made. Shane is using the government-backed project as an excuse. With Mr. Jayson unconscious, he can't oversee or manage the project. Shane is exploiting that."Arthur studied Ariel's expression. The situation was growing increasingly complex. If they mishandled

    Shane declared, "That time was an exception. You know very well how cautious and meticulous Jayson is. But this time… we won't be seeing him for a while. I'm sure you wouldn't want to miss this perfect opportunity to bring him down, Mr. Pryce."Confused, Samson asked, "What do you mean?""Jayson was involved in an incident and has been admitted to the ICU. I'll give you another piece of information—Bluum Corp is partnering with the government on a major project tied to several long-term development plans."Our board of directors considers this project a top priority. They won't tolerate even the slightest error. I'll use this chance to get what I want and have Jayson removed from his position. With him out of the picture, it'll be easier for you to reach your goals, won't it?"Shane laid out the advantage they currently held.Samson fell silent, clearly weighing Shane's words. He couldn't imagine what kind of situation would land someone as careful as Jayson in the ICU.Then Sams

    Shane looked toward the ICU. His expression hardened. "What's wrong with Jayson? Did something happen to him?"Frowning, he stepped forward for a closer look. "How did he end up in the ICU?"It seemed like Shane had run into them by coincidence. The surprise on his face appeared genuine.Ariel, now composed, didn't look flustered. She glanced at Arthur before turning to Shane. "He sustained some injuries. Fortunately, nothing too serious. You don't need to worry, Shane."Shane responded with mild disapproval. "Jayson's condition looks serious. Patients aren't admitted to the ICU unless it's critical. Ari, we're family. We're here to help carry the burden. You don't have to face this alone."Arthur stepped forward, subtly blocking Shane's view of Jayson. His tone remained polite. "Mr. Jayson has turned in for the night since it's quite late. Don't worry, Mr. Shane. I'll remind him to call you tomorrow and update you when he's available."Shane studied Arthur closely. He knew of Ar

    Arthur hadn't informed any members of the Larkin family about the incident.It was nearly midnight when Ariel was wheeled out of the operating room. Her broken arm had been realigned and placed in a cast. Lucas turned pale at the sight of her condition. He followed the medical staff as they transferred Ariel to her ward.Maybe none of this would've happened if he had managed to stop Morgan, who had clearly lost all sense of reason.Lucas' eyes were red as he sat beside Ariel's bed, gazing at her pale complexion. He held her hand tightly.The anesthesia wore off quickly, and Ariel began to stir. She could feel someone holding her hand. Her mind was still foggy, but her first thought was—could it be Jayson?When she opened her eyes, she met Lucas' gaze. He looked genuinely relieved. "You're awake? Does your arm still hurt? Should I call a nurse for painkillers?"Ariel slowly recalled the events. She glanced down at her hand, still clasped in Lucas'. She gently pulled it away. "Th

    Jayson wore a deep frown as his vision began to blur and darken. Ariel's panicked voice kept him conscious for a fleeting moment. Slowly, he raised his hand and gently caressed the back of her head. "It's alright… Arthur and the others will be here soon. You have nothing to be afraid of…"His voice was barely audible, drained of strength. Ariel felt as though needles were piercing her heart as she listened to his words of comfort.Ignoring the pain in her arm—likely broken from the fall—she climbed off Jayson. Her hands trembled uncontrollably as she lightly patted his cheek. "Where does it hurt? Jayson, open your eyes and look at me!"She tried to locate his injuries but dared not touch him too roughly.Jayson had taken the full impact when he caught her—a grown woman—after her fall from the second floor. Even though Ariel was considered light for her size, the force of the impact would have caused serious damage.Jayson could barely keep his eyes open. Ariel's voice began to s

    Jayson was drenched in cold sweat, hunched over, and panting softly.Warm, wet liquid trickled down his back. He could feel the stab wound was deep—so deep, it felt like the blade might have pierced his chest. The pain was excruciating.Morgan had been kicked so hard in the stomach that he rolled several feet across the floor, nearly coughing up blood. But he scrambled to his feet quickly."Stand back!" he shouted. "If you try to go upstairs, I'll make her fall from that spot!"Jayson was losing blood fast. He'd been running a high fever for a full day and hadn't recovered. The injury on his back made him increasingly light-headed. Still, he didn't let it show.Morgan, now savoring the moment, stared at the wounded Jayson with a twisted sense of triumph. "So the great Mr. Larkin isn't always powerful and invincible? That's payback for what you did to me!"Beyond his demands, Morgan had come for revenge.A cold glint flashed in Jayson's eyes as he forced himself to stand straight
