Chapter 483

Penulis: Tightrope
Even without a single word from Nancy, Ariel knew exactly what she was trying to say.

Taking Jayson's arm like that right in front of her was a clear declaration to the world that she was the one Jayson loved. It was also her way of emphasizing that Ariel failed to win her "husband's" heart.

Janice's face darkened instantly. That was a blatant provocation.

She was about to say something, but Ariel looked away and took Janice's hand. "Let's go in first."

After all, Nancy technically hadn't done anything. If they made a scene now, it would only come off like Ariel was being petty and jealous.

Besides, she hadn't come here to throw punches. She had a general plan in mind. She needed to play it by ear and wait for the right moment. At the very least, she should wait until everyone had arrived before deciding what to do. Otherwise, it would all be for nothing.

Janice clenched her jaw and swallowed the rage.

They were here for something big today. She couldn't be the one to mess it up

    "Lie down over there. I'll do a quick check," Liam said, gesturing toward the examination bed behind him.Ariel nodded and lay down. Liam stepped closer and looked into her eyes. "Don't be nervous. You can lift your shirt up a bit."Ariel knew this was routine for a doctor's exam and didn't hesitate. She loosened the fabric over her abdomen.Liam's expression was serious as he pressed carefully on her lower belly. He was feeling around to get a sense of her condition.When he glanced at Ariel again, she had her eyes tightly shut, her lips pressed together without realizing it. It was almost as if she was trying to steel herself mentally.Liam suddenly remembered Zach's chatter about Ariel—how capable, calm, and fearless she was. He could almost picture her back then through those snippets of conversation.But now…Seeing her like this, forcing herself not to be anxious, he thought she looked just like a young woman her age.He smiled faintly, shook his head silently, then withd

    Halread University's intervention came as a surprise to Ariel.After all, Jayson had already managed to keep the media in Eldoria under control, so for Halread University to discover the issue so quickly and issue a public statement was surprising.Normally, there would be an investigation first.Any official stance needed to be carefully and precisely worded because even a single wrong word could damage their own reputation."Halread University is pretty quick on this." Chad was impressed. Honestly, this was way more effective than the media.The media's approach could be entertainment-focused, but a top national art academy speaking out was on a whole other level.Ariel glanced at the university's official social media page and said slowly, "Old cases like this usually take forever to get a verdict, but at least now everyone in the art circle understands what's going on. Still, a legal verdict holds more weight for us."That was the only real way to clear Elena's name for the

    Nancy's face darkened as she shut her eyes tight. "50 million dollars."Sarah felt like her heart was being torn apart.Her account was already running low. Just a few days ago, she had paid the rent for Cecilia's art museum and hired the best curators in the country.Every single thing cost a fortune."This is serious. It's not going to be easy to fix," Sarah admitted, her complexion turning even paler.Nancy's mind was spinning, and a roaring buzz filled her ears. "We can't tell Jayson about this. The gallery scandal is already bad enough. I don't want him dragged into it. It's too embarrassing."Even though she knew perfectly well that if she asked, Jayson wouldn't hesitate for a second to help.Just like with the media at the art exhibition, Jayson had shut it down immediately, preventing the story from spreading. He moved fast to protect her and Sarah.Nancy knew how much he cared and how hard he had always worked for her, but she needed time to sort out this situation.A

    Sarah wasn't doing well. Her face was pale, and her expression remained heavy and troubled.Nancy wasn't any better.Today's chaos had blown up so badly. She didn't know how to fix it."I just don't get it. How could it all happen so suddenly?" Sarah took a deep breath. Her eyes were red from anger.Years of carefully building her reputation and status had been shattered in one fell swoop. She couldn't accept it.Ariel had actually shown up to stir up trouble.Even the painting they had gifted Cecilia as a favor had turned into a dagger aimed straight at her."What's with that painting?" Nancy, unaccustomed to situations like this, sounded colder than usual, as if this might vent her frustration.Sarah squeezed her eyes shut. "I've kept 'Into Stillness' close all this time. Even you didn't know it was with me. A while back, I was organizing things and planned to tuck it away in the gallery's vault. Out of sight, out of mind. But somehow... Abby took it out to clean.""Into Sti

    Ariel instinctively exchanged a glance with Janice.Janice's friend had insider info saying the art exhibition started at 1:00 pm, but Cecilia was told it was at 10:00 am.Yet neither of them said a word.Ariel thought for a moment and finally asked, "How did you find out my mom has a painting in Halread University's collection?""After hearing that big news, I had someone keep tabs on Jayson's moves." Cecilia raised an eyebrow. "I have the means to dig into Sarah's past, and I discovered that she studied at Halread University back then. And on the same day, I received word that Jayson's assistant had flown there specially."No clue what they talked about, but I found out your mom has a painting in their collection. I could tell right away that the painting Nancy gave me bore traces of the one at Halread University. So I reached out to the person in charge to borrow it. I've got enough pull in this world. Others might not be able to borrow it."After a pause, Cecilia continued, "

    The scene quickly descended into chaos. What had been grand and glorious just moments ago shattered into ruins in an instant.Cecilia, as headstrong as ever, had Sarah's paintings taken down without a second thought.Ariel stood amidst it all. As she watched the scene before her, everything seemed to slowly blur away.Years of obsession suddenly began to lift, revealing a fresh hope blossoming in that moment.With this major revelation on such a grand stage, everything else could finally move forward.At the very least, the stain on Elena's reputation from years ago could slowly start to be wiped clean.And the challenges Sarah was going to face ahead were far greater than the embarrassment of the moment.Ariel turned around in a daze.Her eyes unexpectedly locked with Jayson's. He stood tall and composed across the crowd.Ariel clenched her fists tightly, and a faint sneer curled at her lips.In the end, Jayson still failed to squash this issue. He would be dealing with a he
