Dead at Heart Chapter 445
Frederick had already made up his mind. Nancy didn't deserve the hate she was getting. If she said yes, he would gladly be her safe harbor.He had liked her from the beginning. But out of respect for her relationship with Jayson, he had never crossed the line. Now that he knew they weren't officially together, why shouldn't he try?Nancy didn't look the least bit surprised, as if she was used to this kind of situation. She looked at him calmly. "Mr. Swanson, thank you for liking me, but I think we're better off as friends."Besides, Jayson never even liked Ariel. There wasn't a trace of feeling there. So how did anyone think she could actually hold onto that position?Still, Nancy hadn't completely shut the door on Frederick. After all, they were all part of the same circle, bound to cross paths again. They might even work together in the future.Frederick picked up on that. He knew Nancy had high standards. But when it came to love, he was no less than Jayson. At least he could g

The backlash was inevitable. By the time Sarah got home, she was fuming."These women are so short-sighted! They don't even know who Jayson's protecting, and they're already picking sides!" she snapped.Nancy closed her eyes, trying to stay calm. Her voice was cool when she replied, "It's fine. I'll talk to Jayson. Once he knows what's going on, he'll handle it right away."Sarah didn't doubt that. Still, the whole thing left a bitter taste in her mouth."Ariel really takes after her mother. She pretends she doesn't care about anything, but underneath, she's always scheming and always trying to win. If she hadn't pulled that stunt and brought Mrs. Larkin Senior into it, maybe you and Jayson would've—""Mom." Nancy cut her off. She wasn't in the mood for this. "That doesn't matter anymore. Jayson had no choice. Mrs. Larkin Senior was right there, and he had to think about Bluum Corp's reputation. He had to acknowledge Ariel."With so many people around, it was impossible to keep t

The second Zach saw the headline, he tapped in immediately.It was a screen recording from a live stream. The footage showed Nancy's face just as Jayson's voice came through loud and clear. "This is my wife, Ariel Walker."Jayson didn't appear on camera, but Nancy did, and her expression was unmistakable. The color drained from her face in an instant.The clip had been reposted so many times that the video quality had noticeably degraded.Zach scrolled through the comments. There were already thousands of them.What stood out about the video was how Jayson calmly and openly took the initiative to acknowledge his wife, while showing no connection to Nancy at all.Most of the comments were questioning whether Nancy had tried to pull something but failed.Even people who didn't know who Nancy was could recognize Jayson in a heartbeat.As the heir of a top-tier family, every company and investment Jayson touched thrived. He was already a well-known figure in the financial world. On

With that shift in perception, when people glanced at Nancy, their gazes held something less flattering.Nancy felt it immediately. Her face remained calm, but her grip on the pen tightened slightly.The sudden drop from grace was a little too fast for her to process.Ariel, meanwhile, stayed completely unaffected. After all, she had always kept herself removed from gossip and drama.Every time someone looked like they wanted to pry or ask more, Chad would smoothly step in, redirecting them with a few easy words.Once the meeting wrapped up, Ariel and Chad stood and left right away.She didn't even glance in Jayson's direction.She had no intention of lingering in the spotlight or giving Jayson and Nancy any opportunity to twist the narrative.Whatever people wanted to assume about their relationship was none of her business.…The rumors were still running wild.As someone who had been at the party, Zach still hadn't been able to fully recover from it all. He couldn't quite

The birthday party incident had blown up far beyond control. By now, nearly everyone in Eldoria's upper crust had heard about it. And given Jayson's unique status, the fact that his personal life was now tabloid-worthy was almost surreal.In this circle, it wasn't rare for married men to keep mistresses. A so-called close female friend waiting in each city was practically an unspoken norm.But what made Nancy different was that from the moment she entered the public eye, she had always stood beside Jayson as his official girlfriend.She had the polished looks, the right family background, and a prestigious degree admired even by high society. The moment she returned home, she was seen as the woman Jayson cherished the most.Layer upon layer of filters had been placed over her image in people's minds.And now, it had all shattered overnight.Nancy was exposed as the woman who had interfered in someone else's marriage.Her carefully curated image of class, intellect, and perfectio

Even though everyone at the office was doing their best to stay professional, those curious, speculative glances were impossible to ignore.Nancy pressed her lips into a tight line, refusing to let even a flicker of discomfort show. Head held high and shoulders squared, she walked into the elevator.Inside her office, Robin hurried to mask the shock and mixed emotions in his eyes as he stepped forward to say, "Ms. Stanton, you have a technology development planning meeting at the government office at 10:00 am today.""Alright." Nancy massaged her temples.Things might have gone off-script yesterday, but work still had to go on.She gathered her things and headed over early.But the moment she arrived and saw Ariel and Chad already there, her expression faltered.It wasn't unusual for major companies to gather at events like this in response to new policy initiatives. But of all days, it came right after the dramatic shift in her public identity.Nancy immediately sensed people
