Chapter 527

Penulis: Tightrope
Nancy didn't get to exchange and try Jayson's drink. She had no choice but to raise her glass. "As long as it makes you happy, Ms. Pryce."

Cecilia swirled her glass and smiled enigmatically at Nancy, never taking a sip. She had offered to drink with Nancy but clearly wanted her to drink alone.

Nancy could tell that much as well. However, she knew she was in no position to decline Cecilia's requests. So, she downed the drink.

Nancy felt like her throat was burning this time. The alcohol was so strong that Nancy's face flushed scarlet. She could tell the drink she just had was a type of liquor infamous for its high alcoholic content.

Cecilia refilled her glass.

However, Nancy hesitated this time.

"What's the matter? You don't want to drink anymore?"

Nancy pursed her lips. She felt deeply embarrassed since she was being publicly humiliated. All along, she had been cherished and protected. She had never been treated like an escort and forced to drink like this before.

    Nancy paused for a beat. Her eyes darkened before she said flatly, "She's not in my league when it comes to the competition. Whether she can even make it to the third test is another question."And when it comes to Jayson, she doesn't stand a chance against me. The only thing she's holding on to is the title of Mrs. Larkin. Once this competition ends, the Larkins will naturally make their choice."Sarah caught on immediately. Nancy didn't need her help just yet."Alright then, focus on getting ready. Even if Mrs. Nielsen has her doubts about me, her son has always cared for you. If you need help, he won't just stand by." Sarah herself was hoping it wouldn't come to that.Nancy rose and headed upstairs. "I know."…Ariel soon got the notice.She was to check in at the designated hotel the next day. The third test would last three days, during which they would all have to stay at the same hotel and follow the arrangements.The venue was Eldoria's largest and most prestigious nati

    As long as that man carried no disease and wouldn't become a burden to Ariel, she had no reason to dwell on what was already done and couldn't be undone. Adults like them had plenty of real issues to face. No one would spend too much time worrying about a fleeting encounter with a stranger.Ariel decided to take a bath to help herself relax a little.She prepared the water, undressed, and was about to step into the tub when she lowered her head and noticed something.Beside the scar on her lower abdomen was a faint, almost unnoticeable hickey.Her fair skin made even the lightest marks stand out.She had checked her chest and neck earlier that morning and found nothing except for a few alcohol-induced rashes. It was almost as if last night had been nothing more than a dream.But now, seeing that faint mark by her scar, Ariel froze. Her eyes clouded with confusion.…Nancy went home alone since Jayson was busy with work. Even so, she was still in high spirits.Sarah noticed h

    Ariel furrowed her brows. Her thoughts were in a mess again. She turned to Janice. "You were in my room? Are you sure you didn't remember it wrongly?"After all, Janice had drunk quite a bit last night.Chad glanced at them through the rearview mirror. "What's this? You two got so wasted last night that your memories aren't adding up now?"Janice straightened her back. "That's impossible! I might have gotten wasted last night, but I'm sober now. I even checked the room number before leaving this morning. There's no way I'd still be seeing or thinking wrong after sobering up."Hands on her hips, Janice narrowed her eyes at Ariel. "Ari, you didn't come back to your room last night. Where did you sleep?"Ariel was speechless. Something felt wrong.She was sure she hadn't misread the numbers and that she had gone into her own room."Where else would I be?" Ariel leaned back against her seat. "Did you see anyone entering my room yesterday?"Janice was puzzled. "How would I know? I w

    Jayson kept his eyes on Ariel as he walked toward her.The moment he drew closer, Ariel instinctively took a step back. A flicker of repulsion crossed her gaze.Jayson noticed. He stopped almost immediately, his stare locking onto Ariel's face as though searching for answers. For a moment, it felt as if an invisible wall had risen between them.After a few seconds, Jayson let the reaction slide. His gaze dropped to her wrist, where a small patch of rashes, no larger than a fingernail, had appeared.His tone was still the same. "Remember to apply some ointment once you're home. Be careful about what you eat and drink next time."With nothing further to add, Jayson walked past her and went inside.Ariel massaged the center of her brows before following him in.Later, Jayson crossed paths with Nancy.She greeted him with a bright smile. "Jayson, do you want to come over to my place for lunch later?"He glanced toward the direction she had come from. "I don't think I can. I need t

    Ariel clearly didn't want to talk about what had happened the night before.Cecilia studied Ariel for a while and decided not to press her for details. In any case, Cecilia felt her plan had worked.She had chosen the perfect time and occasion, arranging everything to make it happen. Under such circumstances, all that was needed was the right spark to bring a man and a woman together.Ariel excused herself and went to the restroom.What happened last night was an accident.She couldn't recall much of what happened. The only things etched in her memory were the darkness that cloaked the room and the searing heat of that person's hands as they gripped her wrists.Something inside her had unraveled then. She had wriggled free, wrapped her arms around the person's neck, and made the first move.Since she had made the first move, Ariel could not entirely blame the other party for what had happened. Even so, she thought her condition at that time was strange.She hadn't intended to m

    "It's nothing. Let's sit over there." Ariel pointed in a direction far from where Jayson was.She did not spare Jayson another glance as she walked over to the table next to the window. However, Ariel couldn't control the thoughts that were going through her head.Even after she and Samson had taken their seats, Jayson remained in his seat without doing much.While her suspicions grew stronger, Ariel maintained a neutral expression.She didn't think it was a big deal if the person from last night was Jayson. They had been married for three years, so another night together wouldn't make a difference.After all, she wasn't someone who would let herself be bound by old, outdated values."Are you feeling cold? Do you need a jacket?" Samson glanced at the thin, knitted cardigan Ariel was wearing. The temperature in that region was a bit low. He pointed to his clothes."You can wear mine if you don't mind.""It's fine. That won't be necessary." Ariel had a dubious look in her eyes as
