Chapter 201

Author: Tightrope
Frederick couldn't sit still anymore. He immediately turned to Janice and asked, "What's going on? Who did you partner with?"

Janice didn't even look up. "What's it to you?"

Frederick frowned. "Janice, I'm your brother. You're a Swanson. How can you not share internal updates? Faye Tech has great potential. I've decided to invest and come on board as a partner."

Janice looked at him, speechless.

He pressed his lips together and continued, "Still, I stand by what I said. A good project shouldn't have any stains. I know you're close with Ariel, but you need to look at the bigger picture. Take her off the project team. You can listen to me on this. I'm just looking out for you."

Janice gave a sneer and smacked her fork down on the table. "So now that the cake's ready, you want a slice of it? You want to invest now? Keep dreaming."

"What kind of attitude is that?" Frederick snapped, annoyed.

"Some things I can't explain in detail due to confidentiality, but I'll say this. Don't targ

  • Dead at Heart   Chapter 754

    Once Shane secured a position at Bluum Corp's headquarters, he would undoubtedly try to challenge Jayson for control of the company.Some board members would likely shift their support to Shane, posing a serious threat and creating more trouble for Jayson in the future.Ariel couldn't allow that to happen. She was determined to resolve the crisis in Jayson's stead.Meanwhile, Evelyn watched Ariel with mixed emotions. She noticed blood flowing into the IV line attached to Ariel's hand resting on the table. Ariel was swaying slightly, clearly weakened, yet she stood her ground with unwavering resolve.Evelyn could tell Ariel was pushing herself to the limit. This was a side of Ariel she had never seen before.Ariel had made a bold promise to negotiate with government officials and secure the project. Opposing her now would only expose one's allegiance and risk retaliation once Jayson returned.Everyone in the room understood that.The board members exchanged quiet glances.Eventu

    For a moment, the room fell into complete silence. A few board members chuckled quietly, likely thinking they had just heard something absurd.Shane raised his brows. "Ari, you're going to take responsibility? How exactly do you plan to resolve the issue? I understand your concern, but there's no need to worry."I'm not trying to take over Jayson's position. I'm simply stepping in to address the current situation. We were just discussing which role I should assume."Ariel shot him a cold glance. "Have you forgotten what I do for a living, and who I regularly meet at work?"Shane's expression stiffened at her words.Evelyn glanced at Ariel discreetly.Despite her tall frame, Ariel looked so frail it seemed a gust of wind could sweep her away. Yet she stood firm, facing a room full of seasoned, calculating businessmen without flinching."I can assure you right now that I'm capable of negotiating with the relevant government officials to secure their approval. My background and s

    Evelyn had already been briefed on the situation before arriving at Bluum Tower. Arthur had informed her of Jayson's critical condition.Ariel had asked for Evelyn's help to persuade certain board members and speak up at key moments to keep the situation under control.Although deeply concerned about Jayson, Evelyn had spoken to Ariel on the phone just minutes earlier. Ariel had said, "I need your help. Please trust me to handle this."And Evelyn had chosen to put her faith in Ariel.After hearing Jayda's mocking remarks, Evelyn shot her a cold glance. "You and Kyle rarely attend meetings at headquarters. Still, you should be more careful with your words. Reckless comments about company affairs are inappropriate."Jayda's smile faltered slightly."Then why isn't Jayson here?" she asked. "If he can't handle the situation, maybe it's time he stepped aside for someone more capable.""If Shane were truly capable," Ariel said as she stepped out of the elevator, her tone flat but cutt

    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
