Chapter 500

Penulis: Tightrope
"Ms. Stanton, I expect to see results that satisfy me," Evelyn said. She didn't bother to stay a second longer.

Lately, things had already spun out of control.

Since Jayson hadn't agreed to deal with Nancy and was still intent on protecting her, Evelyn had decided to make the trip herself. If Nancy refused to fall in line, Evelyn had no problem using other methods.

She didn't even bother to take a sip of coffee before turning to leave. Her gaze was cold and distant.

Her manner might have seemed calm on the surface, but there was a sharp edge beneath it.

Nancy would have to be a fool not to realize Evelyn had other ways of handling her. For all she knew, Evelyn might even meddle in the lawsuit.

In the past few weeks, Nancy had tasted a humiliation unlike any she had ever known before.

She had been born into wealth and pampered since childhood.

Surrounded by a refined artistic environment and gifted in talent, she was always at the top of her class. She had made it into an elite

    Ariel didn't take Evelyn's little stunt to heart.She never believed Evelyn was truly on her side anyway. The only reason Evelyn had turned up was that the Nancy she had once favored hadn't lived up to her expectations, and recent events had led Evelyn to reconsider.…On Monday, Ariel went with Chad to a meeting near the World Trade Center.They had just wrapped up the deal and were heading to the car when they saw a car pull up across the street. Nancy stepped out in heels, clearly having business in the area.She looked put together again.The moment Nancy spotted Ariel, the warmth in her eyes iced over. Her gaze lingered on Ariel for a beat. The corner of her mouth curled into a sharp, mocking smirk.Without saying a word, she turned and walked into the building across the street.As Ariel noticed the place Nancy disappeared into, a flicker of suspicion crossed her eyes.Nancy's reaction was different this time.In the past, whenever they crossed paths, Nancy's attitude h

    Nancy acted almost as soon as the thought crossed her mind. There was no time to waste.She planned to mortgage her house to the bank first. At least after the review, she could get around 60 million dollars upfront.She just wasn't sure how long the bank's process would take, so she wanted to ask Dylan for a few more days.When she decided to return to Eldoria to develop her business, Sarah had planned to come back with her. Finding a place to settle down hadn't been easy at the time, and it was Jayson who helped secure this house for her.Now, it had become her lifeline. At least it was enough to get her through the emergency.Once Veyo Solutions issued dividends, she could buy it back.Nancy had just gotten off the phone with the bank when Robin came into her office. "Ms. Stanton, you have a visitor…"Nancy looked up and noticed Robin hesitating and looking a little uneasy. She frowned. "If they don't have an appointment, I'm not seeing them."As soon as she said that, a str

    After confirming the time with Edward, Ariel arranged to meet at Faye Technologies.When Edward arrived and saw Ariel, he gave her a quick once-over.The last time they had met had been at the courthouse. He could tell she had changed noticeably since then.By now, many outsiders had already heard about Ariel's work at Faye Technologies.This was her first real breakthrough in academia.Many people had heard about her one-shot rise to fame after presenting her research paper at Ashford University."Ms. Walker, it's been a long time," Edward said, stepping forward to shake her hand.Ariel stood to greet him and asked Cassidy to bring in some coffee."Good to see you again, Mr. Graham. I'm sure you've already heard about my case."Edward nodded as he sat down, then spoke matter-of-factly, "I reviewed the files from the firm when I was in Lockewin a few days ago, so I've got a general idea."As you know, Ms. Walker, intellectual property cases aren't something most lawyers want

    Nancy felt frustration churning inside her, but she didn't let much of it show. She simply looked at the man behind her, walked over, and placed the copy of the legal complaint on the table.Her voice was as even as ever as she said, "Jayson, Ariel's filed a lawsuit."Jayson's eyes dropped to the document. He stayed silent for a moment before replying, "Just hire a lawyer. This kind of thing needs to be dealt with."Nancy understood that much.However, this wasn't the kind of case that could be handled easily. Given how many years had passed, the so-called evidence from people involved would already be fuzzy.That was why most people avoided intellectual property lawsuits. They were complicated, and the boundaries were hard to define.Even if Ariel filed, the process ahead would be anything but smooth.Ariel's move was quite… ridiculous.Nancy didn't believe Ariel was unaware of how tough this case would be. Otherwise, why go all out with the theatrics? That desperation to drag

    "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
