Chapter 291

Author: Tightrope
When she opened the door, Ariel found a staff member wearing the resort villa's uniform standing by the door.

The staff member smiled at Ariel and said, "Ms. Walker, are you satisfied with your room? We have another room on this floor that has a better view. Should we help you move to that room instead?"

Ariel glanced over her shoulder and scanned her suite.

They were staying at a pretty luxurious resort villa. The room she was given was already more than satisfactory in many aspects.

Ariel shook her head. "It's alright. This room is good enough for me."

The staff member hesitated for a moment. Then, he beamed. "Alright, Ms. Walker. Do let me know if there's anything you need."

Ariel did not think much of what had just happened. She closed the door and went back to sorting her clothes.

Since they were not throwing a really formal party, the attendees could enjoy the occasion in a more relaxed, laid-back manner.

Ariel had been feeling quite exhausted with how busy things had bee

    Ariel lifted her head and spotted Jayson, who stood behind Frederick. He had a neutral expression on his face. With one simple action, he managed to keep Frederick under control.Frederick could feel a sharp pain in his shoulder blade. He reflexively took a step backward. He pursed his lips when he saw Jayson. "Mr. Larkin? No, you probably had some misunderstanding. I was just talking to Ariel Walker."Jayson finally let go of him. At the same time, he glanced at Ariel out of the corners of his eyes.Chad had already stuck his hand out in front of Ariel to protect her when he saw Frederick raising his hand. He lowered his guard a little now. Still, Chad's expression seemed a bit cold.Frederick subconsciously raised his hand to massage the area of his shoulder where it still hurt. He looked slightly puzzled as he gazed at Jayson. "Mr. Larkin, you've come here to speak up for Ms. Stanton, right?"Jayson was Nancy's boyfriend, after all. He must be here to make Ariel's side explain

    As soon as he came in through the door, Chad shoved a box of fruit candies into Ariel's hands. His brows arched. "Guess what happened?"Ariel opened the box and took one candy. "What happened?""Professor Jones announced on a public platform that he would no longer be Nancy's supervisor due to the recent disputes she had gotten involved in. A lot of people from our industry have heard the news. Nancy's seriously lost face and credibility this time with her being plagued by all this negative news."Andre was pretty much Ariel's senior since they were both Carlos' students. He had witnessed Ariel's growth over the past few years. Naturally, Andre was infuriated upon learning how Nancy had almost succeeded in damaging Ariel's reputation.Moreover, Nancy was facing charges that could result in her being sent to prison. Neither the university nor Andre would accept a student bearing such a negative image and risk having their own reputations ruined.Ariel was quite surprised to hear th

    Ariel could hear Nancy's voice pretty clearly from her side.Nancy had been extremely busy for the past few days trying to look for a way to save herself from the mess she was in.Still, Ariel did not move from her spot. She sat there quietly and continued to text Noah and other tech department members on her phone to discuss some technical issues.Meanwhile, Nancy had dropped by the university to see Andre.She felt that Jayson had given her a pretty decent suggestion. Nancy had tried various ways, but none of them had worked so far.Andre was her supervisor. Moreover, he was cultured, gentle, and mild-mannered. Nancy felt that she could probably make use of that part about him to her advantage.She had no choice but to give this a shot now since she had run out of options.When he spotted Nancy, Andre closed the book he was holding."Is something the matter?"Nancy pursed her lips and said in a calm voice, "Professor Jones, have you heard about the recent news…"Andre nodde

    Zach had been feeling extremely troubled and frustrated since the incident could negatively affect their business. If Faye Technologies insisted they were at fault, Vireon might be labeled as a high-risk business partner to work or collaborate with.Frankly, Zach had not expected that an issue like this would happen within the Veyo Solutions team and Nancy had actually been tricked by Terrance.He tried calling Faye Technologies' office several times. However, their lines were likely jammed with people calling to speak with their team. Zach was unable to get through in the end.After thinking about it deeply, Zach decided to call Liam and ask if he had any suggestions on what he could do.Technically speaking, Zach was dragged into this mess because of Nancy.Liam had just finished handling some research-related work. After listening to Zach's concerns, he asked, "Did the Faye Tech team already say that they'd press charges on Vireon too?""I'm not sure. Me and… Ariel Walker, you

    Even though Ariel's question sounded completely harmless, Nancy still found her tone rather patronizing.Her expression hardened. Nancy tightened her grip on the handle of her bag.She reorganized her thoughts and exhaled slowly. "I think you're already aware that I had no clue about what they did."Nancy felt there was no point in Ariel blaming her. Their top priority should be apprehending the main culprit behind this incident.Ariel should not be picking a fight with her now just because she was bitter and jealous.At the thought of that, Nancy pursed her lips and looked at Ariel."We can sort this out through talks and negotiations. Veyo Solutions will provide you and Faye Tech with appropriate compensation. I hope we can reach an agreement through negotiation and you'll withdraw the case."Since this was a case of private prosecution, Nancy could still do something to salvage the situation.Ariel turned around and glanced over her shoulder at Nancy. "Instead of accepting d

    Ariel had not suspected Seth at first since he knew only a small part of the code instead of the most significant parts. The problem was that Terrance had managed to provide them with a rough draft of a certain part of the technical proposal. It became a serious issue when those two things came together.Ariel learned more details of what happened after the police conducted further investigation.According to Seth's speculation, Terrance probably deduced the logic and theory behind a very small part of the technical proposal by looking at the code Seth had provided and from what he had observed through Veyo Solutions' liaison with Vireon.By using backward deduction, Terrance managed to generate and produce approximately 3% of Ariel's technical proposal.Then, he made up a lie and tried to pull that act before.Ariel could tell that Terrance was someone brilliant and capable. Unfortunately, he had impure intentions. Other engineers might not have been able to achieve what he was c
