Chapter 204

Penulis: Tightrope
Ariel was caught off guard by Jayson's comment and froze.

She looked coldly at Jayson, noticing that there was a sharp edge behind his relaxed gaze.

"You're all grown up and still can't take care of yourself?" Jayson looked at her with a faint smile.

His words sounded strange, like concern but not quite, with a hint of mockery.

Ariel didn't bother guessing what he was thinking.

"I don't need your concern," she said as she turned to leave.

But then she suddenly remembered the broken laptop she'd left in her study—the one she'd never gotten around to fixing. She had left it there and completely forgotten about it.

She asked, "Can I go get something?"

Jayson was already at the kitchen island pouring water. "What?"

"My laptop."

Only then did Jayson pause, seemingly recalling something. "I think it was thrown out."

Ariel's expression darkened slightly. "That was mine."

"Want me to have someone find it for you?" Jayson raised an eyebrow as he watched her face turn stubborn.

    As the person with more experience, Carlos would try to remain professional and answer questions involving his expertise.Frank and Colin sat right opposite Ariel. Colin showed no interest in what was happening around them. He had an intense look in his eyes as he spoke to Ariel in a subdued voice.Perry caught sight of that just as he was sipping on his drink. There was a curious look in his eyes. He knew Colin was often frigid and unfriendly at their workplace. Some would even say he was too reserved. Yet Colin seemed really warm and easygoing when he talked to Ariel.Perry couldn't help but wonder about the reason for this change.Just then, someone asked Nancy, who was seated at one of the tables in the front row, a question."Ms. Stanton, we've noticed how Mr. Larkin has accompanied you during this trip. We're really curious about one thing. How did the two of you meet?"Somehow, the conversation turned to Jayson and Nancy's relationship in an instant.Jayson slowly lifted

    When they arrived at the hospital, Perry parked his car and turned his gaze toward Ariel.She had dozed off for a while. A deep frown drew her brows together. Ariel seemed worried and troubled by something even in her sleep.Perry paused momentarily. He didn't wake her up right away.Ariel wasn't sleeping so soundly, to begin with. She woke up not long after Perry had parked the car.She checked the time. Her expression had turned cold and impassive. "Thank you."Ariel opened the car door and got out. Perry gave a slight nod and watched her enter the building.By the time she came out with the targeted drugs, Ariel found that Perry's car was still parked in the same spot. She furrowed her brows.Perry rolled down the car window and explained, "My plans got canceled at the last minute. So, I decided I might as well stay and give you a lift back to the hotel."Initially, Perry considered getting out of the car and opening the door for Ariel. On second thought, he reckoned Ariel m

    Ariel looked at him. "Mr. Heathorne."Colin smiled slightly. He took the opportunity to ask her a question regarding the fly-by-wire system.After thinking about it, Ariel recommended a book to him. "You can try going through that book. You should be able to find something useful in it."Colin was quite shocked. It was a special edition book that contained fairly hard-to-read and digest materials, yet it seemed like Ariel had finished reading it.Colin was about to ask Ariel another question, but Nancy approached him just then. "Mr. Heathorne, I didn't get to greet you because I was a bit occupied earlier."Colin turned his gaze toward Nancy and greeted her. "Ms. Stanton."He had met Nancy several times when she followed Matt and the others to Houston Group's office building.Ariel didn't spare Nancy any of her attention. She finished writing the last line in her notebook.Nancy didn't spare Ariel a single glance either. She asked Colin, "What time will Perry reach here today?"

    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.
