Chapter 421

Author: Tightrope
Upon hearing that, Nancy finally felt a bit of relief from the frustration she had been feeling earlier while struggling to grasp the dense content of the session.

"It's nothing," she said lightly. "I came mainly to learn."

Renee was about to say more when she caught a glimpse of Ariel on Nancy's screen as it turned.

Surprised, she called out, "Ariel?"

Ariel heard her name. She looked over calmly but said nothing.

When she didn't respond, Renee gave a small huff, then turned to ask Nancy, "What's she doing there?"

Nancy shut her notebook and replied coolly, "No idea."

The words came out casual, but the tone carried a clear implication—who knew what she did to get in?

Ariel was sitting right next to Nancy. Of course she heard every word. She also understood exactly what Nancy was trying to suggest.

Clicking her pen shut, she said, "How I got here doesn't matter. But I know how you got in."

Nancy's gaze suddenly sharpened. She frowned, and the smile that had just lingered on he

  • Dead at Heart   Chapter 424

    Chad had already agreed to attend Steven's wedding, and now Jayson and Nancy would be there too. Ariel didn't bother with them. She simply bid Steven farewell, then left with Chad ahead of the others.Sure, it was Steven's fourth wedding, but etiquette was still etiquette. Ariel and Chad decided to pick out a wedding gift for him.…The next day, Ariel and Chad arrived by cab at the wedding venue. It was an outdoor ceremony, styled more like a casual garden party.Despite his age, Steven was open-minded. His new bride was actually a former student of his.When he saw Ariel and Chad arrive, he greeted them warmly, with none of the arrogance people might expect from someone of his academic stature.Ariel handed over the gift. "Congratulations, Professor Pollard."Steven looked touched. "Thank you. Are you and Chad..."Ariel gave a faint smile. "He's my senior. We went to the same university. We're business partners now. Nothing more than that.""She's also my father's student. H

    Setting this aside, the fact that Jayson brought Nancy to a conference of this caliber and let her appear alongside top international scholars meant he had placed her at a level she couldn't have reached on her own.He really did know how to shape his future wife.Ariel hadn't expected her old research paper to be used as a case study either.But what she really cared about was the third research paper she had submitted recently. She was still waiting to hear back on that one.Chad glanced toward the front. "Come on, I'll introduce you to Steven."Ariel nodded.After all, she had kept a low profile ever since developing U.N2 and was still considered a newcomer just beginning to make a name for herself in the field. It was only natural that many people didn't know who she was.…Meanwhile, Nancy had walked over to Jayson. He was still seated, eyes on the screen where the last paper remained displayed."Jayson?" She sat beside him and caught a glimpse of the author's name—A. Wal

    They were actually discussing Ariel's research paper from years ago.Chad leaned over and said in a low voice, "That paper you wrote five years ago is still ahead of its time. A lot of people could really learn something from it."That was what set Ariel apart.Otherwise, Carlos wouldn't have sworn off taking on students the moment Ariel walked away from academia to get married.And now here they were. Her paper was being used as a case study in a high-level international academic conference like this.Ariel looked up at the screen, listening as the scholars around her began exchanging thoughts on the paper.Up front, Jayson looked up at the paper being featured—one recognized in the field as significant enough to be discussed.Next to him, Steven Pollard was chatting with a few others. "This one was published a few years ago, wasn't it? It's really ahead of its time. I'd love to meet the author someday.""I read it back then too," another added. "I was really curious about who

    Ariel glanced to the side, then turned her attention back to the notebook she had prepared.Chad was surprised to see Nancy sitting there too.By the usual standards, Nancy was just considered a promising talent from a top university. Especially since she had applied on her own, there was no way she should have ended up in the second row.So…His gaze landed on Jayson, who had just taken his seat in the front row.It didn't take much guessing.With someone like Jayson pulling strings, of course Nancy could be bumped closer to the front.Chad looked at Ariel. Luckily, she didn't seem affected by who was sitting next to her. She had her head down, focused on her notes.Nancy didn't exactly love sitting beside Ariel either, but she didn't feel awkward about it. If anyone should feel out of place, it would be Ariel, who came into the field out of nowhere.Still, Nancy had to admit Ariel was undeniably sharp in certain areas. That whole "plagiarism" scandal involving Veyo Solutions

    The flower sat quietly on the table.Chad and Nancy didn't look over at Jayson and Nancy at the nearby table either.On their end, Jayson wrapped up an overseas work call, left a tip, and got to his feet.Nancy had to head back to organize some of the academic conference materials, so she walked out with him, holding that flower.When they passed by the table Ariel and Chad had just vacated, Jayson caught sight of the flower still sitting exactly where it had been left.He glanced at it briefly, then looked away and kept walking.Nancy noticed it too and barely reacted.To her, Ariel's gesture felt more like a last-ditch effort to hang on to some shred of pride. It was pointless.…Back in the hotel room, Ariel and Chad joined a video call with Janice back in their home country.It was the middle of the night there, but Janice was a night owl and didn't seem to mind. In fact, she was in high spirits and asked Ariel to bring back some handbags and clothes for her.…Ariel ha
