Chapter 426

Author: Tightrope
Jayson frowned as he glanced in the direction behind Ariel, then slowly looked down at her. "Are you okay?"

His arm still circled her waist. The heat of his skin seeped right through the fabric, sinking into her like a pulse. His cologne wrapped around her, thick and inescapable.

For a split second, Ariel felt suffocated, as if she had been thrown right back into those three years they were married.

She could hear the guests cheering around them. Someone even started chanting, "Get married! Get married!"

Ariel pressed her lips into a tight line.

At that moment, she straightened up quickly and planted her hand against Jayson's chest with more force than necessary.

They broke apart in an instant.

Her expression stayed composed. Even if irritation brewed deep inside her, she wasn't about to ruin Steven's beautiful wedding by making a scene.

The bouquet was in her hand. Still on the phone, Ariel looked straight at Jayson, then tossed the bouquet into his chest. "If you want it, you

    Even Ariel was a bit surprised when she heard what Cecilia said.Cecilia was still standing next to Ariel. She slowly directed her gaze to Nancy, who had a bewildered look on her face."These aircraft represent our country's pride and honor. It's only right for us to be strict with granting anyone permission to use them. I've heard a great deal about you and your accomplishments, Ms. Stanton. I don't think you're qualified for this."Due to her background and upbringing, Cecilia was never one to hold back when expressing her opinions.It was precisely because of the differences in their backgrounds and status that Nancy felt she wouldn't be able to win this argument against Cecilia, especially when Jayson was not present.Her expression hardened almost instantly. Nancy tried to suppress the anger rising within her. "Ms. Pryce, do you have some sort of prejudice against me?""Allow me to correct that. It's not prejudice." Cecilia didn't try to skirt the issue. With her arms crosse

    Upon arriving at the base, everyone had to undergo strict security checks. After their information was verified, Ariel and the others were finally allowed into a specific area.Ariel spotted Gary from afar.Gary, who usually had a solemn look on his face, smiled broadly the moment he saw Ariel. "Ariel, you're here. I happened to have some business here today, and I decided to drop by and see how you're doing."Gary still harbored a flicker of hope in him. Perhaps Ariel might change her mind about Zach if the two of them were to interact with each other more.Nancy happened to overhear what Gary said as she entered the area.She furrowed her brows and glanced at Gary while looking confused.Nancy couldn't understand why someone of Gary's status was being so friendly and polite to Ariel. He even seemed quite eager to win her favor. Gary's eyes would light up whenever he saw Ariel.Nancy had some suspicions. At the same time, she felt rather displeased.Nancy reckoned others proba

    It seemed like Cecilia was just asking the question in passing. However, she clearly had a bold, free-spirited side to her. Her confidence had most likely stemmed from her family's background and immense wealth.Nancy hesitated for a moment.During that short time, Cecilia narrowed her eyes. "Oh. I just came back from abroad, but I already heard some gossip. I've heard of how you've recently planned to get Mr. Larkin to marry you."Nancy stiffened. Then, her expression hardened.She couldn't understand why Cecilia was suddenly being so blunt and indelicate.Jayson was looking at Cecilia as well. A small frown creased his forehead.Cecilia tilted her head and smiled. "You should come up with a price I'll be satisfied with if you wish to discuss the rental. Take your time to think it through, Ms. Stanton."Then, she turned around and walked over to where Ariel was.By the time Ariel had snapped out of her reverie, Cecilia had stopped before her. She looked at Ariel and extended h

    Ariel went around the exhibition hall.Eventually, she spotted the familiar faces in the distance once again.Nancy was standing next to Jayson and smiling faintly. "Jayson, this art museum was built and designed with the finest and highest standards. I was wondering if my mom could hold her art exhibition here. I'm thinking of renting their space."Renowned for its fame and significance, this art museum was arguably among the best exhibition halls in Eldoria. Those who had held their art exhibitions here previously were all celebrated, distinguished artists.Holding Sarah's art exhibition here would help improve their family's image and reputation.Jayson directed his gaze to Nancy. "The Ulmer family owns this place. We'll need to discuss this with Ms. Ulmer first."Nancy beamed. "Alright. Let's try asking first.""I'll ask her for you." Jayson nodded. He didn't see any trouble getting that done.Matt had just snapped a photo of a painting nearby. He glanced over his shoulder

    With one hand in his pocket, Jayson stood next to the railing and leaned against it. It almost seemed like he had merely stumbled upon two strangers talking as he directed his gaze to Ariel and Samson.Samson noticed Jayson as well. He turned around and asked straightforwardly, "Have you heard what we were talking about, Mr. Larkin?"Jayson ended the phone call just then.He put away his phone and gazed at the two people standing side by side. His eyes were devoid of emotion.It was hard to tell what Jayson was thinking with how he always managed to suppress his emotions.Samson felt that he hadn't said anything wrong.Even though he was married, Jayson didn't try to hide his relationship with Nancy. Even when people were all gossiping about them, Jayson acted as if nothing had happened and attended this event with her.Moreover, Ariel was here too.Jayson was obviously a heartless man. He didn't bother to treat the matter seriously. It was either that he didn't love Ariel or t

    Those who heard what Kristen said looked in the direction she was staring at.Jayson had indeed arrived at the art museum. However, Nancy was beside him.Nancy's relationship with Jayson didn't appear to be affected. She was still seen attending these events with him. It was obvious she was still receiving special treatment from Jayson.Some of the guests, who were also part of the elite circle, could not help but feel sorry for Ariel. At the same time, they were wondering which of those two Jayson had placed at a higher priority in his heart.Anyhow, it was clear what Kristen was hinting at by addressing Jayson as Ariel's husband in front of all these people.Most of her guests were very sharp and perceptive. They could tell that was Kristen's way of showing her disdain for Nancy.Jayson noticed Ariel when he came in. He stared at her for a brief moment. There was no need for him to avoid being seen with Ariel anymore.He turned slightly and headed in Ariel's direction.Nancy
