Chapter 203

Author: Tightrope
Ariel had already guessed what this might be about before coming. Either it was about the house, or there was some trouble with Betty.

Before she could respond, Jayson's phone rang. It was a WhatsApp video call.

She glanced over. Unsurprisingly, it was Betty.

Jayson answered immediately. Betty's eyes quickly landed on Ariel beside him. She smiled warmly and called out, "Ari, are you both home?"

Ariel hesitated for a moment but forced herself to say, "Yes, Grandma. The company's been busy lately, so I haven't had time to come visit."

If it weren't for the divorce agreement, she wouldn't be here playing this act.

Betty said affectionately, "That's alright. Work is important. But you still need to take care of your body. I told Jayson to bring you back to Larkin Manor. He's always saying you're too busy."

"I wasn't lying, was I?" Jayson responded calmly.

Betty gave him a glare. "You have the nerve to say that? What kind of husband are you? You can't even take care of your own wife

    Chad's expression was harmless and natural. He appeared to be only asking that question because they were on that topic.Nancy frowned ever so slightly. She could not understand why Chad was so protective of Ariel. It was to the extent that he wouldn't even allow others to speak the truth about her.Chad seemed to deliberately steer the conversation toward her relationship with Jayson, making her doubt his true motives. Zach glanced at Nancy and Jayson. Given how close and intimate they were, Zach thought the couple must be planning to marry.Chad looked sincere. "Have you checked the dates, Mr. Larkin? Your family must be very pleased that you've chosen Ms. Stanton as your partner, right?"Ariel didn't make any comments.She knew very well that Chad was striking back at these people since he couldn't stand watching her getting bullied.After all, Ariel was the only person Betty had ever approved of to be Jayson's wife. Otherwise, Jayson wouldn't have made Ariel sign the divorc

    Carlos made no attempt to explain anything further. He turned around and headed into the hall.When he passed by Ariel, Carlos furrowed his brows. There was a hint of sadness and disappointment in his eyes.Ariel had dropped her plans to further her studies and decided to marry Jayson instead. Yet, Jayson betrayed Ariel and completely let her down.Even with Ariel around, Jayson didn't hold back and treated Nancy extremely well. Ariel had ended up wasting three years of her life on that man.Ariel shrank back slightly as she felt a little guilty.Zach caught Carlos looking at Ariel with a rather disdainful gaze. He curled his lips, thinking that it was just as he had expected. After Carlos walked away, Zach and the other guests went up to Chad.All of them stared at Chad curiously. "Mr. Chad, do you happen to have any insider info? Does Mr. Carlos already have a particular candidate on his mind? Can you share some information with us?"If there really was some exceptional genius

    Even Chad had trouble controlling his expression when he heard what Jayson and Nancy said.He thought Jayson had brought Nancy here to meet Carlos and ask him some questions that required Carlos' knowledge and expertise. Chad didn't expect that they were actually aiming to secure Nancy's spot as Carlos' postgraduate student this year.Chad subconsciously glanced at Ariel. That spot was meant for her.Yet, Jayson always seemed to have a way to intercept during crucial moments and ruin things for Ariel.Meanwhile, Ariel had used the shortest time possible to regain her composure. She fixed Jayson and Nancy with a stony gaze.Then, Ariel lightly tugged Chad's sleeve to remind him to calm down.Nancy studied Jayson's side profile for a moment. Then, in an earnest tone, she said, "I know our country implements a slightly different system for how students can apply to undertake postgraduate studies."However, I've done extensive research and studies during my time at Arcadia Tech. I a

    Zach's brows arched when he noticed how Ariel had tactfully excused herself and stepped away.It seemed like Ariel was smart enough to know that someone like her shouldn't foolishly try to act as if she belonged in a circle she didn't belong to now that Nancy was there.Ariel was completely oblivious to those thoughts he had.At that point, Chad was surrounded by a group of people who were trying to ask him if there were any opportunities for them to collaborate with Faye Tech. Ariel slipped away to take a breather.She filled a small plate with some desserts and nibbled on them since she was a bit hungry.Soon, Ariel started feeling a little thirsty. She glanced at the drinks on the table, but she couldn't tell which had a lower alcohol content.In the end, she chose one that looked like fruit juice and reached her hand toward it.Just then, someone placed their hand over the drink Ariel was looking at.Ariel lifted her head and met Jayson's deep-set eyes. Her expression harde

    Chad and Ariel got out of the elevator when they reached the floor of their rooms.After the two of them left, Frank, Samuel, and those who remained in the elevator exchanged a few glances with each other.Frank remarked, "Did you guys notice how Mr. Hockney seemed to show Ms. Walker a lot of respect? Moreover, their interactions didn't look like the kind of interactions a superior would normally have with their subordinate. Instead, Mr. Hockney seemed really proud of Ms. Walker."Colin Heathorne, one of the engineers, responded, "I can tell that Ms. Walker really knows about the topic that she was sharing. For a moment, I was so thrown off and humbled by the depth of her knowledge…"Frank felt even more shocked since those words came from Colin, who was one of the most experienced senior engineers working for their company.This incident further confirmed Frank's speculation about Faye Tech having a lot of amazing, talented employees working for them.…A reception was held on

    A Rolls-Royce Cullinan was parked right in front of them. Jayson was standing next to the car.He spotted Ariel instantly. However, he didn't seem surprised. Jayson calmly looked away and directed his gaze to a particular spot behind Ariel.Nancy smiled sweetly the moment she came out and saw Jayson. She walked past Ariel without sparing her a single glance and headed straight for Jayson.Chad knitted his brows. "I was wondering why he hadn't come along. Turns out he's been waiting to pick her up in Sorenta!"Chad reckoned those two should just stick together at all times if they wanted to be with each other so much.Ariel pulled on her collar slightly. She decided to just ignore them.Meanwhile, Zach had exited the airport as well. When he saw Jayson and Nancy, Zach went over to greet them. "I wasn't expecting to see Mr. Larkin here."His gaze fell on Nancy. Zach surmised Jayson must have come here to keep her company.Nancy beamed. "Jayson flew here yesterday to attend a meet
