Chapter 279

Author: Tightrope
"You and your husband still don't have a child of your own. Is it because you can't or you don't want to?" The look of scorn in Lucas' eyes became even more prominent. Still, he had a smile on his lips.

Others would think that this was just Lucas' way of teasing Ariel in a playful manner.

Lucas could tell that Jayson didn't love Ariel. Naturally, Jayson wouldn't want Ariel to bear his child. Yet, Ariel was still trying so hard to maintain her marriage, which was slowly falling apart. Lucas found it extremely amusing.

Ariel's expression hardened.

Lucas was unaware of her health condition. There was a high chance Ariel wouldn't be able to conceive in the future. With him asking the question in front of all these people…

Others might think Lucas was telling Ariel to try for a baby soon out of concern. For Ariel, what he did was no different than him rubbing salt into her wound.

He reminded Ariel about her marriage, in which she was completely despised and neglected. Also, Ariel was

    Gary hadn't seen Zach all morning, and that honestly annoyed him. He had planned to drag him along to lunch.Chad agreed, "Of course. It'd be an honor for Faye Tech."As he said it, he glanced toward Samson and added politely, "Mr. Pryce, would you care to join us?"Samson could tell it was just a polite gesture. Accepting would only make things awkward. Smiling, he replied, "I'm sorry, but I've got something right after this. Let's save it for next time."At that moment, Ariel noticed Jayson walking over with Nancy in tow."Commander Quinton," Jayson greeted Gary.Gary didn't show any particular reaction. He simply nodded. "Mr. Larkin."As an outsider, it wasn't his place to get involved in the younger generation's personal entanglements.Jayson's gaze flicked toward Chad but soon locked onto Ariel. "Ms. Walker, I was wondering if you and Mr. Hockney are free for lunch. There are some issues on Veyo Solutions' side that need to be discussed."The invitation came out of nowher

    To Nancy, the scene unfolding before her eyes was downright baffling.Gary didn't hesitate for even a second. He walked toward Ariel with clear intent and purpose.Someone with Gary's status had never been the one to initiate anything. Usually, people tripped over themselves just to get on his radar.Yet now, he was going out of his way to meet Ariel.Nancy felt an unexplainable tightness in her chest.Logically speaking, if Ariel ever got an opportunity like this, she would be the one rushing to talk to Gary. But now, things were happening the other way around.Nancy frowned, unable to make sense of it.Just then, Jayson finished his call and strolled over. His sharp eyes also caught sight of the scene unfolding in the distance.Gary looked oddly cheerful as he approached Ariel and extended his hand.Ariel, calm and composed, returned the handshake with a polite smile.Nancy pressed her lips together and withdrew her gaze to look up at Jayson. "Jayson, Commander Quinton didn

    Smiling, Samson looked at Ariel, then turned toward Chad to offer a polite greeting.Chad shook his hand, looking clearly surprised. "What are the odds? Looks like we're seatmates."Samson nodded and tapped casually on his nameplate on the table. "Yeah, we do seem to have some kind of fate."In truth, he had arranged for the nameplates to be switched. Neither Ariel nor Chad had noticed.Ariel, not one for unnecessary small talk, promptly turned back to her own thoughts after greeting Samson. She was mentally mapping out Faye Technologies' potential development trajectory.He watched her silently as she drifted into thought. She occasionally frowned and touched her temple. Seeing that, Samson quietly smiled.He didn't disturb her.Not many people around recognized him, so he enjoyed a rare moment of peace.Across the room, the other side was buzzing with activity. Samson glanced over and quickly spotted Jayson and Nancy.He knew Jayson. Nancy, though, took him a moment longer.

    Jayson's gaze drifted sideways, quietly studying the scene across the lot.Even Nancy glanced over in confusion, and her expression grew more serious.Ariel arrived with Carlos? When did she get that kind of access?And more importantly, it was only just after 9:00 am. Had Carlos picked her up, or had they come from the same place?"Let's go," Jayson said coolly. He remained indifferent.Nancy pressed her lips together, not saying anything.Ever since she had heard from Seth about Ariel being the one behind the major investment, she should have realized this kind of treatment was inevitable.Even Ariel arriving alongside Carlos wasn't all that surprising.…Ariel didn't notice Jayson and Nancy. She followed Carlos inside and recognized a few familiar faces along the way.Every major company that mattered had shown up.Attendees were divided into groups, and the seats in the conference room were nearly all assigned.There was a ripple of surprise as Carlos entered. Many had

    Liam paused, realizing he had forgotten to thank Ariel. He scrolled through his contacts for a while. When he finally found her name, he sent a short message. "Thank you."He didn't care if she would reply.Instead, he looked up at Zach, who had just turned around and was scanning Liam from head to toe.Frowning, he asked, "Who pulled you out just now?"That question hit the mark.Liam tapped the back of his phone as he looked at Zach. "Someone you know."Zach gave him a skeptical look. Before he could press further, his phone rang. It was Gary.Liam made a gesture for him to pick up the phone and didn't interrupt as he took the call.The moment Zach answered, Gary said, "Come to next week's tech seminar. You'll follow up on policy discussions and meet someone important."Zach rubbed at his brow, clearly not thrilled. "We'll see."Gary snapped, "This one's not like the others. You'll want to know them."Without giving Zach a chance to refuse, he ended the call abruptly.Zac

    Liam took only two seconds to process when he saw Ariel before nodding.Without hesitation, Ariel swung open the car door.Liam slipped inside with the quick, precise movements of someone trained.Ariel caught the detail but didn't react. Her gaze briefly flicked to the rearview mirror before shifting gears and flooring the accelerator.After countless visits to the hospital over the past two years, she knew the nearby roads like the back of her hand. She maneuvered sharply and sped away with ease.Even Liam glanced sideways, impressed by her driving skills.Her delicate face showed almost no expression. Even with a car chasing from behind, she stayed remarkably calm.Watching the road carefully, she followed the flow of traffic and quickly lost the pursuer.Soon, Ariel was in a bustling shopping district, which was full of people and cars."Sorry for the trouble." Liam glanced behind them and then at Ariel.She shook her head, then asked, "What was that all about?"The car
