Chapter 248

Author: Tightrope
Zach's voice wasn't too loud or too soft. It was just enough for the two surrounding tables to hear him.

Everyone instinctively turned to look at Jayson and Ariel. Their gazes brimmed with curiosity and scrutiny.

Nancy's expression darkened. She glanced down at the watch peeking from Jayson's cuff, then turned to look toward the neighboring table at Ariel with a frown.

So Ariel had planned this far ahead?

Even Zach looked speechless. Matching couple watches? That just felt way too deliberate.

Guests nearby couldn't help but tease, "Will there be such a coincidence?"

"Right? I've seen those watches before. They're from a limited edition couple's set. They do sell them individually, but still, what are the odds? Must be fate."

One person waved it off. "I'm guessing it's just a coincidence that Ms. Walker is wearing hers today. Ms. Stanton probably has the matching one. She just didn't wear it. Right, Ms. Stanton?"

Nancy had no choice but to suppress her frustration toward Ariel.

    Ariel froze for a split second when she saw Liam.Liam didn't wait for her response; Ariel's condition was evident. "You should sit and rest for a bit." Liam furrowed his brows. With one hand, he supported Ariel and helped her to her feet.Noticing Ariel's diminishing strength and slight sway, Liam braced himself, providing a firmer support for her to lean against.At the same time, Liam was mindful enough to keep just the right amount of distance from Ariel so as not to make her feel uncomfortable."Thanks. I'm alright." Ariel thanked Liam once she had stood up straight. Perhaps it was because she was in a weakened state, her voice was barely audible.Liam responded, "Sit here and rest for a moment."His gaze drifted toward the oncology department again.Liam had done cancer research for many years and seen countless cancer patients. He knew very well what a patient would look like after undergoing chemotherapy.He took in Ariel's pale face. Liam sounded quite surprised. "Yo

    Ariel had spent quite some time on editing and perfecting her paper.She was quite the perfectionist. Once she had made up her mind to do something, Ariel wanted to give it her best shot.As for the fact that Jayson had arranged for Nancy to meet the Cavells and Cedric, Ariel couldn't care less about it. She wouldn't let someone else's personal affairs affect her work or progress.Meanwhile, Ariel found out from Janice that Nancy's Instagram post had gotten many people speculating. It was easy for Janice to gather the latest news circulating in Eldoria since she had established numerous connections.People had begun making various speculations about Jayson and Nancy.Some people speculated that Jayson had probably taken Nancy to meet the Cavells at a time like this since it served as a form of reminder to everyone that Nancy would eventually become his wife.Despite the recent incidents with Faye Technologies, no one should try to treat Nancy with scorn or disrespect.People mad

    Evelyn was being frank. Also, she had no idea how Jayson had managed to persuade Emerich to invite Cedric to today's meeting. This was no easy task."We'll leave it up to fate, then." Jayson sounded calm. He seemed to have an inkling of how things would turn out.Evelyn fixed her gaze on him. "What exactly are you planning? You could've requested to meet Mr. Warbrooke privately. Yet, you've arranged for Nancy to meet with me and your great-grandfather as well. Have you started considering being in a serious relationship with her?"Nancy's reputation had suffered due to the recent incidents. Evelyn was hoping Jayson would be a little more cautious at times like this.Jayson slid his phone into his pocket. He cast Evelyn a sideways glance and curled his lips. "I thought you liked her."Evelyn frowned slightly. However, Jayson simply walked past her and entered their room without saying anything else.…Ariel hadn't expected to see Cedric during their company's trip to Sorenta. She

    Ariel's eyes widened as she stared at the man who had taken a seat at the table.Cedric Warbrooke was widely recognized as someone on par with Carlos in terms of his knowledge and expertise.Cedric had completed his studies and done some research in Merinia during his younger years. He returned from abroad about 20 years ago.Since then, he and Carlos had been working to contribute to the development of their country's aerospace and military tech. All these years, Cedric and Carlos had often been referred to as the two greatest scientists of the century. Both of them had a high standing in this industry.However, Cedric had retired a few years back. Most of his students were currently working for the Department of Defense, conducting in-depth research on anything and everything related to military tech.Even the project about the sixth-generation fighter jet that Gary had spoken to Ariel about, which was scheduled to happen in the latter half of the year, was part of their researc

    Sarah was still filled with bitter resentment."Ariel must be feeling very pleased with herself! Anyway, she'd be a fool to think that someone of her caliber could do a decent job managing a big company like Nexura Solutions. It might not even take her that long to make the company go bankrupt!"Nancy furrowed her brows. Yet, she seemed to agree with what Sarah just said.Judging by how Ariel had decided to terminate the contract with Veyo Solutions as soon as she assumed her position in Nexura Solutions, Ariel seemed incapable of making rational decisions. Someone like her would never be able to achieve great things."I'll be having another art exhibition in a few months. I'm going to make it big and drive the Walkers up the wall!"Nancy wasn't paying much attention to what Sarah was saying about the art exhibition. She pondered for a moment. "Don't worry. Jayson is going to help me. I'm meeting someone in another two days."…For the past few days, Faye Technologies had receiv

    Lucas wasn't exactly sure what he was expecting to hear from Ariel by coming here today. Perhaps he just came to check on Ariel after learning that her and Faye Technologies' problems had been completely resolved.Or he might have come to…"It seems I've underestimated your problem-solving skills and abilities." Lucas gave her a hard look.He flicked the ashes off his cigarette and continued, "I actually called Jayson when the incident had just occurred, and Nancy declared she would pursue legal actions against you. I figured a simple word from him should be enough to calm Nancy down and make her give up on suing you since she was Jayson's woman after all."From his perspective, Jayson was actually fully capable of preventing the situation from escalating further. However…"Did you know how he responded to me?" Lucas snickered. He gazed at Ariel intently as if he was trying to discern the raw emotions hidden underneath her seemingly cold, impassive appearance. A slight frown cre
