Ariel frowned. Her heart sank. "Why?""You know the reason better than I do. I hope you won't attempt something you shouldn't." Jayson hung up right after saying that.Ariel had a look of bewilderment on her face. Then, it slowly dawned on her what Jayson meant by those words.He must have realized what she was trying to do.Jayson realized Ariel was planning on exposing the truth of what really happened in the past. She wanted to crush the fame and glory Sarah had earned by using Elena's painting.However, Jayson would not allow her to harm Sarah in any way. He could not possibly watch Ariel damage Nancy's reputation because of the incidents involving Sarah.Ariel quickly realized that Jayson was trying to protect Nancy. For that, he chose to disregard the fact that Sarah had exploited Elena to reach her current success.Ariel balled her fists. She stared at the painting on the table intently. The initial feelings of joy and gratitude were instantly replaced with one of bittern

For a moment, Katie was so shocked that she was at a loss for words. Gradually, she noticed how there weren't any turbulent emotions reflected in Ariel's calm eyes. She simply looked serious.Katie opened her mouth, but she only managed to find her voice a while later. "No wonder… No wonder…"Frankly, there was no way they would not notice what the situation was really like in Ariel and Jayson's marital relationship. It was just that…"Ari, be honest with me. Did you and Jayson decide to get divorced because of Lucas?" That was the issue Katie was worried about.They had been together for several years. Yet, the two of them suddenly decided to get divorced not long after Lucas was released from prison?"No. It has nothing to do with him." Ariel could tell that Katie had some misunderstanding.She explained, "I'm not doing this for anyone. I simply understand now that there's no point in trying to force a relationship to work. We should stop putting each other through torture."W

Lucas narrowed his eyes. "I'll leave Ari in your care then, Mr. Larkin."Ariel furrowed her brows as she found the way Lucas said that a bit strange.Jayson did not react any differently. "Of course."It was almost impossible to tell whether Jayson was really being sincere when looking at his proper and elegant demeanor.Lucas paused briefly. He took another glance at Ariel. Then, he left to meet his girlfriend.Ariel had placed a lot of importance on the ceremony for Elena's third death anniversary since it marked the closure point of their grieving her death.She was not required to stay up all night. However, Ariel had been feeling a little anxious and restless lately. Staying near Elena's photo, which they had placed on the table along with the offerings, made her feel much better. So, Ariel decided to do that while she stayed up for the night.It was already evening by the time Ariel had finished the chores and seen Janice off at the front door.To her surprise, Jayson had

Chad was quite surprised by how fast Jayson had received the news. He had only found out about this yesterday, yet Jayson was already taking relevant actions today.Chad acted as though he had little information about the project. He shook his head. "Nothing much has been confirmed yet. Do you perhaps have someone you'd like to recommend to join the team, Mr. Larkin?"Jayson smiled slightly. "There is one person I'd like to recommend."Chad made no further comments since the answer was pretty obvious.He spotted Ariel, who stood not too far away. There was a conflicted look on Chad's face.As someone who had been in the business circle for many years, Chad instantly realized the real reason why Jayson had come over to the Walker residence today.It appeared Jayson had dropped by to meet Chad and ask him about these things. He did not really care about Ariel's personal matters.Ariel was not particularly sad or disappointed. She had come to accept the reality of her situation ear

They rarely shared such moments since the two of them had hardly spent any time together. Moreover, Jayson was not a romantic or affectionate person.Ariel reckoned it was most probably because Nancy did a good job educating Jayson that he turned out to be so considerate now.She accepted the tissue expressionlessly and was about to turn around. However, Ariel tripped on her foot and fell forward."Watch out!""Watch out!"Two voices called out at the same time from her front and back. Simultaneously, two hands caught hold of Ariel's arms.Ariel raised her head and glanced at Jayson and Lucas, who were standing beside her.Jayson had a calm look in his eyes. His voice had remained steady the entire time.Lucas turned his eyes to Jayson. His brows arched. "It seems Mr. Larkin is a kind and caring person too."Ariel was slightly ruffled by those words. Lucas was indirectly reminding Ariel of Jayson's indifference to her all along to mock her.She squirmed free from their grips

Before she could say anything else, Ariel picked up on the sound of footsteps coming from the door.A calm, deep voice said, "Have I gotten here a bit too late, honey?"Ariel was interrupted by the voice. She turned around with a bewildered look on her face. Ariel thought she might have heard it wrongly.The others looked in the direction of the voice, seemingly surprised as well. Jayson strode into the room.Lucas furrowed his brows the instant he saw Jayson. He was rather surprised by the fact that Jayson was willing to do Ariel such a big favor by addressing her so intimately in front of all these people.On second thought, Jayson was probably willing to pretend to acknowledge Ariel as his wife since only the Walkers and their close friends were there. There were no outsiders present.Ariel probably would not have been able to hear Jayson address her that way if they had a clueless soul with them that day.Jayson's tall form, which was clad in a plain black suit, moved closer

Lucas narrowed his eyes. There was not a hint of sincerity in his nonchalant voice. "Why don't you try begging me, Ari? Perhaps I'll consider helping you escape from the miserable situation you're in."Ariel could clearly sense the heavy sarcasm in his tone. She simply ignored him and walked away.The smile on his face faltered as Lucas watched Ariel's receding figure.She must love Jayson deeply judging by how she had remained meek and submissive despite having been treated like this.Lucas stared at Ariel from behind for quite some time. Then, he took out his phone and snapped a photo of her from where he was standing. Then, he sent the photo to a WhatsApp chat window, which he had not sent anything to before."Mr. Larkin, Ari might just retaliate if you push her too hard. She's found out that you're celebrating Mrs. Stanton's birthday. The situation might get ugly if she shows up and causes a ruckus at the party."How about this? Let Jadeon Technologies own one percent of Bluu

Before she could say anything, Ariel heard Nancy's voice coming down the line. "May I know who's speaking?"The words seemed to stick in her throat. Ariel felt her mouth go dry. It was even hard for her to swallow."Did Jayson not save my number on his phone?" She wondered.Ariel looked down at her feet and asked, "Where's Jayson?""He's beside me. I'm afraid he won't have the time to entertain you today," Nancy replied unhurriedly.The calm, steady tone in her voice made it sound as though Ariel was the mistress who had to keep her identity a secret and could be dismissed at any time.Ariel furrowed her brows.Just then, she picked up on Colton's voice speaking in the background. "Ms. Stanton, a staff member from the bakery called and asked if they should deliver the cake to the venue first?"Ariel hung up right away. She stood in the same spot for quite some time. Her face was drained of color. With a frown on her forehead, she gently rubbed her abdomen. The discomfort in tha

Ariel felt as though a hole was bored through her chest. A cold, empty feeling rose within her.She looked at the photos Nancy shared. One of them was a photo of a resort villa, where they had finished the decorations for the party venue. The next photo was a photo of an exquisite emerald jewelry set.Ariel recognized the set of jewelry. It was the one Janice had witnessed Jayson spending seven million dollars on at a jewelry shop when he and Nancy went there.The jewelry set turned out to be a gift for Sarah.This somewhat explained why Ariel did not receive any replies from Jayson even after she had contacted Colton. It seemed like Jayson had made his choice from the start.Nancy included a caption along with the photos. "This will be the liveliest and the most extravagant birthday party that we've ever thrown for my mom. There's a special someone whom I feel extremely grateful to… Everyone, please look forward to the fireworks show tonight!"It was obvious who the special some
