Chapter 340

Author: Tightrope
As soon as Veyo Solutions' opening ceremony concluded, Nancy hurried over to meet Carlos. She wanted to speak with him about the possibility of opening up an additional spot for her to become his student.

Moreover, she had taken the initiative to come to Faye Technologies' building.

Faye Technologies was also hosting a grand event that day. With people constantly flowing in and out, Nancy anticipated being greeted by several acquaintances, and to her dismay, Ariel was present as well.

Nancy felt deeply annoyed at being forced to come. Still, she masked her emotions behind a calm demeanor. Glancing around, she addressed him politely. "Hello, Mr. Carlos. I'm sorry for taking up some of your time like this today. I have a few questions I hope you can help me with."

Carlos fixed her with a piercing gaze. "You want to ask about the student I selected, don't you?"

Nancy straightened her posture and nodded. "I heard you've chosen a candidate. May I ask who it is?"

"It's Ariel," he repli

  • Dead at Heart   Chapter 748

    Arthur hadn't informed any members of the Larkin family about the incident.It was nearly midnight when Ariel was wheeled out of the operating room. Her broken arm had been realigned and placed in a cast. Lucas turned pale at the sight of her condition. He followed the medical staff as they transferred Ariel to her ward.Maybe none of this would've happened if he had managed to stop Morgan, who had clearly lost all sense of reason.Lucas' eyes were red as he sat beside Ariel's bed, gazing at her pale complexion. He held her hand tightly.The anesthesia wore off quickly, and Ariel began to stir. She could feel someone holding her hand. Her mind was still foggy, but her first thought was—could it be Jayson?When she opened her eyes, she met Lucas' gaze. He looked genuinely relieved. "You're awake? Does your arm still hurt? Should I call a nurse for painkillers?"Ariel slowly recalled the events. She glanced down at her hand, still clasped in Lucas'. She gently pulled it away. "Th

    Jayson wore a deep frown as his vision began to blur and darken. Ariel's panicked voice kept him conscious for a fleeting moment. Slowly, he raised his hand and gently caressed the back of her head. "It's alright… Arthur and the others will be here soon. You have nothing to be afraid of…"His voice was barely audible, drained of strength. Ariel felt as though needles were piercing her heart as she listened to his words of comfort.Ignoring the pain in her arm—likely broken from the fall—she climbed off Jayson. Her hands trembled uncontrollably as she lightly patted his cheek. "Where does it hurt? Jayson, open your eyes and look at me!"She tried to locate his injuries but dared not touch him too roughly.Jayson had taken the full impact when he caught her—a grown woman—after her fall from the second floor. Even though Ariel was considered light for her size, the force of the impact would have caused serious damage.Jayson could barely keep his eyes open. Ariel's voice began to s

    Jayson was drenched in cold sweat, hunched over, and panting softly.Warm, wet liquid trickled down his back. He could feel the stab wound was deep—so deep, it felt like the blade might have pierced his chest. The pain was excruciating.Morgan had been kicked so hard in the stomach that he rolled several feet across the floor, nearly coughing up blood. But he scrambled to his feet quickly."Stand back!" he shouted. "If you try to go upstairs, I'll make her fall from that spot!"Jayson was losing blood fast. He'd been running a high fever for a full day and hadn't recovered. The injury on his back made him increasingly light-headed. Still, he didn't let it show.Morgan, now savoring the moment, stared at the wounded Jayson with a twisted sense of triumph. "So the great Mr. Larkin isn't always powerful and invincible? That's payback for what you did to me!"Beyond his demands, Morgan had come for revenge.A cold glint flashed in Jayson's eyes as he forced himself to stand straight

    At the same time, Lucas—who had just left the villa—also received a text. Of course he had Morgan's number."If you won't show mercy, don't blame me for being ruthless. This daughter of mine is no longer a tool I can use at will anyway. If you all force me into a corner, I'll use her to make a big score."You care about her so much, right? Then she stays as my bargaining chip. Try to kill me, and I'll drag her down with me! Lucas, you drove me into this. No one will have it easy now. Either meet all my demands, or I take her and disappear."Lucas crumpled the cigarette between his fingers. He didn't even notice the burn.How dare that bastard threaten him with Ariel? Something had obviously gone wrong. But Morgan hadn't told him his location.Lucas' face was drained of color. He ran straight for the garage.Wendy walked in with a reserved card just as Lucas was heading out. She couldn't think of anyone else who could make him look that tense.She had come to plead with him to ta

    Seeing that, Jayson froze in place. His eyes locked on the name.After a long moment, he finally let out a breath and sent Ariel a text. "Where are you? Want to grab dinner tonight? I can pick you up."After sending the message, he stared at the chat for a moment and then pinned it to the top.…Ariel was in a meeting with Faye Technologies' tech department, discussing current system optimizations with Noah and Chad.Chad frowned when he saw her. "You just never stop, do you? Why don't you rest for once?"Ariel watched the numbers flicker on the screen and smiled slightly. "I'm fine. Keeping busy helps. Plus, my surgery date is basically set."Chad put down his folder and frowned. "That surgery plan…"He had heard Janice mention it. Ariel's condition wasn't good. It might require a full hysterectomy.Ariel blinked and kept jotting down data. "I have to do whatever has to be done."Chad saw the worry lurking under her calm and patted her shoulder. "As long as the operation goe

    As soon as Lucas left, Morgan felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar. He stood there, dazed, and his face grew paler by the second.He knew what Lucas was like. Back in the company, Lucas' methods had a reputation for being ruthless.Lucas knew every shady move Morgan had ever made in business. If any of it came out, Morgan wouldn't have a way to survive.Forget the law; even the companies he had screwed over in the past wouldn't let him off the hook. His life would be watched—and hunted—by everyone he'd crossed. Lucas wanted to crush him completely."Dad, what do we do? Let's go to Ariel. She can't just ignore us, right?" Lori's teeth chattered as she stared in the direction Lucas had gone. Her eyes were filled with helpless frustration.Morgan stared at the hand Lucas had ground down so mercilessly. Pain made his lips tremble. "It's over… Jayson was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes. Lucas probably has more tricks up his sleeve."Those two were both gunning fo
