Chapter 212

Penulis: Tightrope
Ariel could tell from Jayson's remark that he was talking about Faye Tech's request to have Nancy replaced with someone else.

He didn't seem or sound angry at all. His face showed no emotion as it always had.

Still, Ariel couldn't help but wonder whether Jayson was trying to blame her for what happened or if he was just trying to be sarcastic. She slowed down in her steps.

She couldn't be bothered with what Jayson was trying to tell her. Ariel continued walking in big strides.

Jayson probably hadn't noticed Ariel was trying to leave. He dropped his gaze and shoved his lighter into his pocket. Then, Jayson directed his gaze to Ariel. "Was it your idea to request a replacement for the person in charge of the project?"

As if she had seen it coming, Ariel halted and turned her eyes to Jayson. She said flatly, "You don't necessarily have to work with us if you're unhappy with that, Mr. Larkin."

She didn't bother to offer any further explanations. Ariel saw no need to argue with anyone

    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

    Betty glanced alternately between the couple.She stepped forward and slapped Jayson on his arm. "Why aren't you saying anything to Ari, you heartless boy? When will you ever change that attitude of yours?"It wasn't like Betty hadn't noticed how Jayson had only given his attention to those books ever since he returned. He acted as though the books were much more interesting than Ariel was.Matt heard those words as well. He said teasingly, "It's because you're worried that Ariel may suddenly change her mind and refuse to get divorced if you show her even a bit of kindness now. After all, women are mostly… soft-hearted and sentimental."Especially if it was Ariel, who was deeply in love with Jayson.Jayson paid no mind to Matt's comment. He simply ignored it and ended the call."Why are you still standing there? You should drop Ari off at her office." Betty couldn't possibly let Ariel leave on her own. She dragged Jayson along as she stepped through the front door.Ariel had jus

    Betty was delighted to see Ariel dropping by Larkin Manor. She went up to her and clasped her hands. "How come you got here so late? You just finished work?"After speaking to her on the phone, Betty thought Ariel wouldn't be able to visit her for quite some time.Ariel responded gently, "I came here from the office. Didn't Jayson send some gardenias here today? I'm planning on moving them to where my office is."Betty paused momentarily. "Yes, he did. He said that they were your favorite. Since they're tearing down parts of the house and working on the renovation soon, the plants may not survive if they just leave them there.""That's why I'm taking them to where my office building is. It'll be easier for me to look after the plants there," Ariel explained."They're over here. Come and have a look at them yourself, Ari." Betty led her to the sunroom, found to the left outside the door.Ariel spotted the gardenias, which had been carefully dug up and moved here.She hadn't check

    Ariel had no trouble recognizing the woman in the photo—it was Nancy. Moreover, Matt had included a caption with the picture."Being a consultant for the day."They were probably discussing and deciding how to give the house a brand new look, both inside and out.When Ariel received Betty's phone call, she had an inkling. Jayson had torn down many of the structures inside their marital home to build a new one for Nancy.After all, this house was located in one of the most strategic locations in Eldoria, so there were hardly any downsides to living there."He took her to the marital home in which the two of you had lived for three years. Is he already planning to have her move into the place?" Chad knitted his brows. "It looks like Jayson might be in a more of a hurry to divorce than you are."Ariel averted her gaze. "He's tearing down a lot of the structures inside the house. The construction process will probably take several months."They were likely at the stage where Nancy—t
