Dead at Heart Chapter 115
Two cars came to a stop outside.Lucas was the first to get out, followed closely by the uninvited Morgan and Lori.Ariel's expression darkened. She had never intended to invite Morgan to Elena's death anniversary ceremony. Most of Elena's suffering came from Morgan. And in all the years since she passed, Morgan had never once visited her grave.So what was he doing here now?"Ari, why didn't you let me know about today?" Morgan, frowning, walked up to her. His expression showed a mix of frustration and resignation. "I should be here for this."Ariel instinctively glanced at Lucas. If it weren't for him, Morgan might have forgotten the day entirely.When Lucas met her gaze, he frowned as if he was about to say something.But Morgan waved his hand and said, "Don't blame Lucas. Elena and I were once married, after all. How could I forget this day?"Ariel couldn't help but feel amused. Morgan's hypocrisy was sickening. Of all days, he chose to show up today?The Walker family was
Dead at Heart Chapter 114
Lucas didn't head inside until he'd finished an entire cigarette.…After the car was parked, Nancy turned to Jayson. "The way Mr. Sanderson was looking at her felt tense. Did they have a fight?"Jayson was looking at his phone. Without even glancing up, he replied, "No idea."He was truly cold.But Nancy smiled, satisfied. She liked this side of Jayson—the version that couldn't care less about Ariel."Do you want to go up?" she asked with a smile, dropping the subject.Jayson checked his watch. "I've got something to handle at the office. I'll visit your mom another time."Nancy didn't push it. She stepped out of the car and said, "Drive safe.""I will. Go on in."After seeing Jayson off, Nancy headed upstairs and found Sarah reading. As she sat down, she casually mentioned that Jayson had dropped her off and that they'd bumped into Ariel.Sarah turned a page and smiled. "As expected, Ariel really takes after that useless mother of hers—pathetic and dumb. They couldn't even
Dead at Heart Chapter 113
Wendy was being clingy again. Lucas took a drag from his cigarette and ruffled her hair. "Listen to me. Go in and wait for the results. I'll be there once I finish this."Seeing his laid-back but firm expression, Wendy knew he wasn't in the mood for her antics. She gave his arm a little shake. "Okay, fine. But don't keep me waiting too long."When she had broken Lucas' cup, seeing him angry made her feel both nervous and a little giddy. On instinct, she pretended to have a stomachache to ease his anger.Thankfully, after cleaning up the broken pieces, Lucas brought Wendy straight to the hospital.The fact that he cared about her so much made it impossible for her to admit she'd faked the stomachache.Once Wendy had gone inside to the ER waiting area, Lucas finally looked in the direction Ariel had left.For just a second, he wondered if she had seen that. Would she be furious and jealous again?He frowned at that thought. With the cigarette between his fingers, he strode quickly

"Ari, tell me the truth. Is there something going on between you and Jayson?" Katie's eyes were fixed on Ariel. Her gaze was full of worry.Ariel pressed her lips together, unable to bring herself to tell Katie about Jayson and Nancy.Nancy was Sarah's daughter, after all. If Katie found out, she'd be devastated."He'll come," Ariel finally said, choosing to avoid the heart of the matter.Katie stared at her for a moment, then sighed. "If it weren't for the bond between Jeremy and Timothy as war comrades, I would've confronted Betty myself by now and demanded an explanation."It was Betty who had firmly agreed to the marriage back then, promising that Ariel would never be mistreated. Katie had believed her.But now? What was with this lukewarm attitude?Ariel gently tried to calm Katie. "Grandma, it's late. You should go get some rest."She would handle these things herself. She didn't want Katie getting involved and ending up angry or hurt.Katie seemed like she wanted to say
Dead at Heart Chapter 111
Nancy turned to look at Colton as well, her posture composed and graceful.Colton instinctively glanced at her. After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head. "It's nothing important. Just wanted to remind you that the meeting with Mr. Boyle from Noirline is at 3:00 pm."Jayson's eyes remained unreadable. He gave a faint nod and walked into his office.Nancy followed behind him without a word.As Colton watched the two disappear into the office, he decided to keep his mouth shut.With Nancy present, bringing up Ariel felt inappropriate.Besides, Jayson had never visited Elena's grave over the past few years. Why would this time be any different?Even if he brought up the third death anniversary ceremony, there was no guarantee Jayson would agree. Colton didn't see the point of ruining their mood by mentioning Ariel.…Ariel, of course, had no idea what Colton was thinking or what had transpired.After work that evening, she didn't go home. Instead, she headed to the nursin
Dead at Heart Chapter 110
Once the project at Faye Technologies was stable and running smoothly, Ariel could focus on her treatment and start preparing to tell Katie and Leonard about her condition.After she changed into her clothes and stepped out, her phone buzzed incessantly.Ariel picked it up to check. It was a series of photos from Janice. The pictures were taken from a discreet angle.In them, Jayson was at a jewelry store in a shopping mall, accompanying Nancy as she browsed. She was holding a beautiful emerald necklace.It turned out that he had been on a date with Nancy and had just squeezed in time to call her.Janice wrote, "Damn it! What a bad day! I was right next door, watching Jayson swipe his card like crazy for Nancy, buying her endless luxury gifts. Just a minute ago, he bought her a seven-million-dollar emerald jewelry set."He didn't even blink! Seriously, that little mistress sure is living the high life!"Ariel slowly looked away from the photos and reflected on her marriage to Ja
Dead at Heart Chapter 109
Jayson was actually surprised.He had promised to send Ariel some photos of that painting, so he sent them over when he had some free time today.But to his surprise, the photos he sent only received one gray tick.He didn't even know when exactly Ariel had blocked him.Was it at the gallery? Or maybe it happened before that?Still, he didn't dwell on it much. After everything that had happened lately, it seemed odd that Ariel hadn't reacted at all.Maybe she was expressing her dissatisfaction by blocking his number now.He vaguely remembered something similar happening before. Ariel had blocked him once, only to unblock him a week later. In the end, she acted like nothing had happened.This time, however, it was a shame. It wasn't until now that Jayson realized Ariel's "effort".Ariel suddenly remembered she had blocked Jayson a long time ago—both his personal and work numbers.Only now did Jayson realize that.It wasn't really surprising, though.Even before she'd blocked
Dead at Heart Chapter 108
Jayson never admitted it, so Ariel wasn't anyone to him.…Janice thought today had been a bad day. She wanted to take Ariel out for drinks and karaoke.Ariel used to drink when she worked in PR. But now, with her health issues, she was doing everything she could to avoid it.Besides, Jayson's matter no longer had much of an impact on her. She didn't need alcohol to drown her sorrows.So, Janice called her other friends to hang out instead.On her drive home, Ariel got a call from Chad. He asked briefly about the gallery, but Ariel just brushed it off."Come over for dinner tomorrow. My dad's off work. We can get on his good side while he's in a good mood."Ariel thought about it for a moment. She had some difficulties with her new project and wanted to ask Carlos for advice, so she agreed."Alright, I'll pick you up tomorrow.""Sounds good," Ariel responded.…The next day, she went to Eastgate to stand in line at a well-known pastry shop to buy Carlos' favorite palmiers.
Dead at Heart Chapter 107
Nancy immediately picked up on the subtle jab in Janice's words. Her brow furrowed, and she shot a displeased glance at her.She didn't believe she had done anything to provoke Janice. It was likely Ariel's influence at play.Nancy glanced over at Ariel, who was approaching, and a flicker of irritation crossed her eyes.Ariel was only capable of petty schemes like this. She couldn't match her in other areas, so all she had left were these schemes.Frederick, too, was curious about Nancy's answer to Janice's question.Sure, Jayson was protective of Nancy, but he'd never actually introduced her as his girlfriend. If Jayson was only pursuing Nancy, did that mean there was still a chance for him?Zach watched Nancy, waiting for her response.Nancy pressed her lips together. Before she could speak, a tall, imposing figure stepped up beside her.Jayson's cold gaze swept over Janice and then shifted subtly to Ariel. He spoke flatly, "If you're so curious about her status, you can ask
