Chapter 486

Author: Tightrope
The moment the words left Janice's mouth, Ariel caught sight of someone approaching from the side.

Nancy was still standing next to Jayson. She didn't look rattled by Janice's words. If anything, she shot Jayson a look of faint exasperation.

Matt followed behind them and blinked in surprise. "Wait, what? Mr. Swanson's pursuing you? And he wants to marry you?"

He glanced at Jayson. "Nancy sure has all eyes on her."

Jayson's rival had appeared and was aiming to put a ring on Nancy.

If it were any other guy, he would probably be panicking by now and rushing to marry her before it was too late.

Nancy stayed silent, and that silence said it all.

Frederick stiffened the second he saw Jayson, but he didn't offer an explanation.

Ariel instinctively pulled Janice behind her. Her gaze toward Jayson was cold and guarded.

Janice hadn't exactly been subtle with her insults toward Nancy just now, and Ariel wasn't sure if Jayson had overheard.

Besides, Jayson had secretly bought back Sarah'

  • Dead at Heart   Chapter 491

    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

    Sarah looked like she might crumble. Her mouth opened, but no sound came out.She didn't know that Ariel had actually recovered the series piece and used it to clear Elena's name from the "plagiarism" scandal all those years ago.Nancy hadn't seen it coming either.But just as she tried to gather her thoughts, Cecilia raised a brow. "I've already confirmed with Halread University. 'Into Stillness' had been reported missing for years and has never been recovered."Yet I found it sitting in a small gallery registered under Mrs. Stanton's name. So tell me, how exactly did Ms. Walker's lost painting end up in your possession?"A roaring filled Sarah's ears. Her mind went completely blank.No one had ever known she had the painting.Her gallery, set up after she returned to the country, was mainly used to store her own paintings. It wasn't very large and only opened occasionally. Young visitors would sometimes drop by to take photos, and a few pieces were put up for sale. That was wh

    Cecilia cast a frosty glance at Nancy. Her tone was biting. "You really think you're some kind of star?"Nancy's expression stiffened. She didn't get why Cecilia was backing Ariel so fiercely.Sure, the venue belonged to Cecilia, but they had paid to rent it today.Sarah had finally calmed down. Facing the cameras now turned squarely on her, she took a deep breath and said, "This is all a misunderstanding. Ms. Pryce, you probably don't know the history between Ariel and our family. I hope you won't let her pull your strings."Cecilia gave a cold snort. "Let me ask you again. Is 'Into Stillness' your painting or not?"Sarah met Ariel's icy gaze, then turned to Cecilia's vaguely amused smirk. Something didn't feel right, but she had already claimed "Into Stillness" as hers. Backtracking now would only make things worse."What are you trying to say, Ms. Pryce?" she asked.A strange chill swept through Nancy. Her gaze darted instinctively toward Jayson, who remained calm and compose

    Cecilia finally smiled. "So, you're saying this is one of your early works?""Yes. What about it?" Sarah frowned, an odd feeling creeping into her chest.That was exactly the public admission Cecilia had been waiting for.She waved her hand, and another painting was brought out."Then what about this one? Did you paint this too?"The room had grown crowded by now. As Cecilia finished speaking, she signaled for the painting to be unveiled.Sarah's face went white the second she saw it. She took a staggering step back.Ariel stared in stunned silence as well.Because the piece Cecilia had just unveiled was none other than "Into Stillness", the long-lost bottom half of Elena's two-piece series.All this time, aside from the series piece Jayson had bought overseas for tens of millions of dollars, there had been no trace whatsoever of "Into Stillness". So how did Cecilia get her hands on it?The missing half was the key to destroying Sarah once and for all.Elena had promised Hal

    Ariel froze mid-motion and turned toward the sound. Cecilia was striding in on high heels, poised as ever.Even Jayson glanced her way, though he stayed seated.Sarah felt that Cecilia's arrival could be seen as a show of support. After all, this was her art museum.She stood up and said, "Ms. Pryce, welcome."Cecilia glanced at Sarah with a cold smirk. "Hope I'm not interrupting? Is this interview going to be included in your press coverage?"Sarah smiled. "It's no problem. Ms. Pryce, please, have a seat."But Cecilia didn't move. She narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced over at Nancy and then at Jayson beside her."No need for that. I'm just here to drop off a little gift." Only then did Cecilia pull her gaze back and look at Sarah again. "Would now be a good time to receive it?"Sarah, aware of Cecilia's reputation in the industry, figured this might even boost the exhibition's prestige. Smiling, she nodded politely. "Of course."Cecilia clapped her hands.Ariel looked t
