Dead at Heart Chapter 368
Ariel wasn't too worried about that. Even if things went sideways, it wasn't on her. It wasn't her idea to publicize anything.Betty continued, "I'll have someone go invite Katie later."That made Ariel frown. She had completely forgotten about that. "No need, Grandma. She's been exhausted dealing with my uncle's situation. Best not to trouble them right now. But she'd definitely thank you."Betty didn't know about the divorce. If she really invited Katie over, the whole thing could blow up.It was best to steer her away now."Well, fair enough. She has had a hard time lately. Then I'll have Jayson pick you up. I'll let him know." Betty was in a good mood today. She soon shifted her focus back to planning.She ended the call almost immediately, like she was afraid Ariel might refuse.The escape routes had all been sealed tight.Ariel stared at her phone for a moment, then glanced at the time.Jayson was coming to pick her up? Showing up together would absolutely turn heads. Di

Robin's words made Nancy's face darken almost instantly. Her eyes fell on the envelope he handed her."Ms. Stanton, what is that supposed to mean?" Robin looked genuinely puzzled as he set the invitation down on her desk.Betty's granddaughter-in-law? Wasn't Jayson her only grandson?"It's nothing. You can go now." Sarah was the first to react. She kept her expression unreadable, still radiating her signature elegance.Robin gave a polite nod and stepped out.As soon as the door closed, Nancy frowned but didn't seem too shaken. "Is Mrs. Larkin Senior trying to warn me?"It was surprising.Betty was holding a celebration party for her "granddaughter-in-law". Clearly, she had already heard about Ariel's exam results, and now she was going all out with this over-the-top event.The invitation wasn't even really an invitation. It was more of a statement. Betty was telling her that Ariel was Jayson's wife, her granddaughter-in-law.Sarah's expression hardened. "She's telling you tha

Ariel hadn't expected Betty to be in the loop already. Puzzled, she asked, "Did Jayson agree to this?""Of course he did. I suggested it. He wouldn't dare say no," Betty replied.Ariel frowned and stayed quiet for a moment.She hadn't expected such a high-profile event. And what was even more surprising was that Jayson actually agreed to it.Wasn't he worried this might blow up and expose their past?"Grandma, you really don't have to do this. It's not that big a deal." Ariel rubbed her temples, already trying to come up with a polite way to decline."Oh, I'm more than happy to do this. I already paid 100 thousand dollars for the deposit. I booked the weekend too, so it won't mess with your schedule. I'll let you know the details when the time comes."Betty knew Ariel well. Without giving her time to refuse, she ended the call swiftly.Ariel was rendered speechless.She put down her phone, still struggling to process it all.How did this even reach Betty's ears? And why the g

Renee was confused. She blurted out, "Didn't you say Nancy came in second? Why are you…"She cut herself off immediately when she met Jayson's deep eyes.He was staring at her without a hint of emotion on his face, yet it sent a chill down Renee's spine. She shuddered and quickly mimed zipping her lips shut with her fingers.Jayson was warning her not to run her mouth, especially not about Nancy in front of Betty.But…Something suddenly clicked in Renee's mind."Jay, did you mean Ariel ranked first?" Renee couldn't help but find the question ridiculous. Maybe Jayson had simply misspoken earlier."Well, isn't she your sister-in-law?" Jayson loosened his tie and looked at her.Renee stiffened, shrinking back a bit. "Yeah…"No sooner had the words left her mouth than Betty's voice rang out behind them. "Are you two talking about Ari?"Renee turned and saw Betty coming downstairs. Instantly, she understood that Jayson had just saved her. If Betty had caught her badmouthing Ariel

Nancy pressed her lips together tightly. For some reason, her expression looked even worse than before.Ariel met Jayson's eyes and said coldly, "I guess I'm not bad compared to your girlfriend."Jayson froze at those words.Meanwhile, Nancy's expression instantly went cold.Was Ariel showing off while taking a jab at her?Ariel didn't bother with their reactions. She turned and walked off toward the next section.As Ariel and Chad gradually disappeared into the distance, Nancy felt a frustrating weight settle in her chest. But years of self-control kept her from showing the slightest hint of emotion. She forced it all down."Has Ariel been hiding her abilities all this time? Or maybe she didn't even expect herself to do this well?"A complicated look crossed Matt's face. He still couldn't reconcile the Ariel in his memory with the person she had become.When he first heard she had made it into the postgraduate program under Carlos, he thought it was dumb luck. But there was n

Carlos wasn't angry because of how these people treated Ariel.What really bothered him was the way they treated the university's fairness and Ariel's hard work as if they were meaningless. How could they invalidate everything with one thoughtless comment?Nancy's face had gone completely pale.She knew what had just happened had rubbed Carlos the wrong way. But…"Mr. Hockney, you already knew her score that day? Why…" Nancy forced herself to stay calm and asked steadily.Carlos turned to look at her. He could tell that she was looking for an answer. "You want to know why I didn't tell you Ariel's score?"Nancy pressed her lips together. Now that things had reached this point, she needed an answer.She wasn't someone who couldn't handle losing. She knew there would always be someone better out there.But Carlos could have just told her Ariel's score back then. Why did he have to make her wait until today?If Nancy had known earlier, she wouldn't have ended up so humiliated tod
