Chapter 475

Author: Tightrope
Even Chad was slightly taken aback by Cecilia's bluntness. It seemed as though she was determined to rescue Ariel from her miserable situation immediately.

It was Ariel's first time encountering someone with Cecilia's temperament. And now, Cecilia had even dragged Samson into the conversation, despite his absence.

Cecilia studied Ariel for a moment, narrowed her eyes thoughtfully, then grinned. "I think Mr. Larkin has terrible taste."

"You're absolutely right, Ms. Pryce," Chad chimed in, fully agreeing.

Terrible was putting it mildly. In Chad's opinion, Jayson must have been blind to choose someone like Nancy over Ariel.

Ariel appreciated Cecilia taking the time to visit and congratulate her in person. Still, she had spoken to Samson recently and made her stance clear.

"I know—you need time to think it over. That's fine," Cecilia said with a warm smile. "Samson's very particular when it comes to relationships. He may seem laid-back and carefree, but he's actually quite stubborn.

I feel like Jayson never cared too deeply about Nancy either. He just lets things happen

  • Dead at Heart   Chapter 511

    Nancy's eyes were as cold as ice.She had worked so hard after returning to Eldoria. She owned such a large company, and everything was moving in a good direction.But now… it was all ruined!Nancy's words made Chad furrow his brows. He felt Nancy was forcing her own problems onto others. If she hadn't made that mistake in the first place, how could things have ended up like this?Ariel looked at her and was suddenly overwhelmed by a sense of helplessness in their communication. She let out a bitter smile. "Nancy, I suddenly feel you're rather pitiful."Her calm words cut deep like a blade.Ariel no longer cared to argue or reason with Nancy. There was no point in debate because Nancy was not only blind but also stubborn.At this moment, Nancy couldn't help but start to break down. This was the worst possible situation for her.She hurriedly looked toward Jayson, who was sitting beside her.Jayson met her gaze. He slowly raised a hand, motioning for her to sit down—a calming g

    Ariel's voice was calm yet powerful, effortlessly piercing through the room.Her gaze landed on Nancy's faltering expression. "Since Veyo is under Nexura, and Nexura will never tolerate this kind of situation, Ms. Stanton, you must pay the price for your actions."This unexpected turn stunned everyone present.Even Matt had come over after hearing the commotion. He glanced at Ariel, then at Jayson sitting quietly beside Nancy. His composed demeanor revealed little emotion despite the tense atmosphere.Nancy stared incredulously at Ariel. Her mind went momentarily blank.But Ariel gave her no room to respond. She lightly tapped another document on the table."Even if you completed the repayment within the timeframe and it was your personal dividend, according to Nexura's rules, early appropriation of funds is not allowed. From now on, you will no longer be part of Veyo Solutions' management."Nancy's face went pale.Overwhelmed by the severity of the situation, her sharp eyes lo

    Nancy had long anticipated this situation.Amid the ongoing discussions, she leaned quietly toward Jayson and softly said, "Jayson, let's have lunch together. I've booked a restaurant. Let's invite Matt too."She appeared very relaxed, as if this wasn't a big deal at all.With Jayson right beside her, she felt reassured.Jayson looked at her and gave a faint smile. "Sure."Nancy immediately relaxed further. "The meeting should be nearly over after your vote."Jayson was just tapping the table casually, about to say something, when suddenly the conference room door was pushed open.Nancy turned around and saw Ariel and Chad entering, along with Tom from Nexura Solutions. She frowned sharply, and her expression turned cold. "Ariel, this is an internal meeting of Veyo! You barged in and disrupted the meeting! I can have security escort you out!"She had only given Ariel the cold shoulder, and now the latter had barged right in?The others in the conference room were momentarily s

    The next day, Veyo Solutions was abuzz with activity.Nancy wasn't really worried about the issue. So what if it came to light?She had carefully calculated the situation. Since it involved her personal dividends that were about to be paid, it was basically a temporary fund use. Once repaid, the shareholders' vote could easily approve a resolution to avoid penalties.There were only three major shareholders anyway. What was there to stress over?Nancy arrived at the office early.The meeting was scheduled to start at 10:00 am.At 9:30 am, Robin came in to notify her, "Ms. Stanton, Ms. Walker and Mr. Hockney have arrived. They said they want to see you."Nancy paused for a second. Without looking up, she said decisively, "I have a meeting to run. If she wants to see me, tell her to wait."She guessed Ariel was here today because of that nationwide talent recruitment she mentioned.Ariel must have come to a conclusion. That was why she came to assess the situation. If she really

    Nancy's options were running out.She sold a small portion of her personal shares and signed an agreement allowing her to buy them back later. The process took some time, and the funds took about a week to clear.She had already gathered 20 million dollars herself, so she temporarily redirected a part of her upcoming dividends and used that to pay Dylan some of what she owed. Dylan only granted her a three-day grace period for the rest.Once the funds from the share sale arrived, she immediately replenished her dividend amount and settled the remainder with Dylan.Nancy had repaid in time and didn't cause major damage to the company.Besides, the company's financials clearly showed those dividends were hers. The payout was only a week away. Fundamentally, it was very different from outright theft. It was a temporary fund use at worst.Nancy knew that even if this became public, as long as the internal shareholders' meeting agreed, there wouldn't be any consequences. She would sti

    Jayson finally turned and looked at the executive. "What happened?"Frowning, Nancy looked over as well. What kind of trouble could she be in?The executive's expression was complicated. After some hesitation, he finally addressed Nancy. "Ms. Stanton, have you recently misappropriated your dividends?"The moment those words dropped, Nancy's expression paled.Ariel and Chad both heard it clearly and exchanged a quick glance. Something clicked instantly between them.Chad suddenly smirked. "Ms. Stanton, are you running low on cash lately? Didn't Mr. Larkin give you any allowance?"Nancy's face darkened even more as she clenched her fists.Even Frederick and Matt were stunned. What was going on?Frederick understood the gravity and quickly said, "That can't be right. Why not sort this out internally first? Why bring it up here?"Jayson was the first to react. He glanced at Nancy and then asked the executive, "Are you sure about this?"The executive nodded. "We found the problem du
