Chapter 542

Penulis: Tightrope
Matt glanced at Jayson, who didn't seem the least bit fazed by Nancy's results and didn't even offer a word of comfort.

Matt's eyes lit up with a hint of interest before saying, "Right. Mindset matters more than anything. It's good that you think that way."

Nancy felt a tightness in her chest but didn't say anything else. Her gaze drifted toward Ariel.

As it happened, Ariel and the others had to pass through here.

As they walked past, Jayson tilted his chin and slowly looked at Ariel.

"Congratulations," he said.

That simple word made Nancy freeze. Something inside her seemed to collapse in that instant. Sirens went off in her mind.

Ariel hadn't expected Jayson to speak to her. She slowed her steps and met his gaze.

He just looked at her without any expression, yet his eyes hinted at something that was almost a smile.

Even Chad was surprised. He glanced at Nancy's reaction. Sure enough, her face was grim.

Ariel kept walking, saying nothing.

Janice, however, grinned and teased

    At the very moment she almost dialed, Nancy threw her phone, then bent forward to run her fingers through her hair.She was clinging to the hope that Jayson would swoop in and handle the mess she got into like he always had.But this time, he neither came to see her nor even bothered to call.Her pride twisted against itself, while a nameless panic clawed at her chest.She believed that Jayson would help, and she wanted to wait for him to take the initiative.The last thing she wanted was to let him see her at her most panicked and broken because she knew he wouldn't like that side of her. What she needed was for him to feel for her on his own."I'll try to handle this myself first. I'm sure Jayson will step in if he sees that." Nancy shut her eyes tightly, forcing herself to take comfort in that thought.But Sarah was already beside herself. She gasped. "You know perfectly well that you can't handle this! Ariel accused you of stealing her work on camera. The government will go

    After Ariel and Chad left, Cecilia paused before getting into her car and cast a glance in the direction they had gone.When Samson came out, he noticed her thoughtful expression.He approached. "No one expected her identity. Now that it's public, she's bound to get attention from the government. Petty tricks won't work on her anymore."He walked toward his own car. Before leaving, he said casually, "Don't think Jayson won't figure out what you did that day."Cecilia finally glanced at him. A faint smile touched her lips, but there was little warmth behind it.…Nancy had never imagined she would find herself under a national investigation.After layer upon layer of questioning, sweat had soaked through her collar.The process dragged on for nearly two hours. Since this involved top-level classified information, the procedure was unusually strict.She couldn't possibly confess, and each denial only served to prolong the investigation.When she finally emerged, the sun was set

    Cedric didn't rush off today. A steady stream of people came up to greet him. He seemed to be in a decent mood, as he didn't brush them all aside without the slightest courtesy with that icy expression of his.By the time Ariel walked over, he had just dismissed a group of people.When he saw her, he let out a sharp huff and clasped his hands behind his back before striding toward the exit.Ariel fell in step with him.Cedric's assistant shadowed them closely, intercepting anyone else who tried to come over and chat."Could I have a word with you?" Ariel asked, knowing that Cedric was giving her a chance.He gave her a sidelong glance. "You're in a league of your own now. People will be lining up for a chance to meet you. Why are you asking for my permission?"Ariel was rendered speechless.That venomous tongue of his never softened.She didn't take offense, though. Instead, she kept her voice even and humble. "You flatter me, Mr. Warbrooke. Honestly, today's fiasco caught me

    Jayson stopped and looked at Ariel.From across the distance, she couldn't quite read his expression, but he seemed to be staring at her for a long moment. Her entire presence seemed relatively relaxed.Neither of them said anything.Samson glanced at Ariel, then back at Jayson.Jayson didn't linger. He walked toward the exit, where people came and went.As he waited for his ride, Cecilia stepped out. She turned, observing his impassive profile. "Ariel isn't the same as before. No one can outshine her now. With her identity revealed on a stage like this, she's secured fame and fortune. Nothing and no one can shake her anymore."Even if someone wanted Ariel gone, no trick in the book would work.Jayson lowered his gaze. His thumb brushed over the smooth edge of a metal lighter. "Maybe."Cecilia smiled, though it carried no warmth. "Mr. Larkin, I honestly don't understand you. Who do you actually love? Nancy or Ariel?"Before today, she might have sworn it was Nancy. But now, so

    The shock of it all rippled through the crowd. Who could have imagined the competition would end like this?Nancy's plagiarism was already explosive, but Ariel's true identity was an even bigger bombshell.Frederick's face went from red to pale, but he couldn't utter a word.Janice noticed Frederick's outburst. Her face darkened with anger, but she no longer wanted to interfere. Nancy was under government investigation, and that was far beyond Frederick's reach.With a complicated expression, Cecilia stared at Jayson for a moment before finally asking, "Mr. Larkin, aren't you worried?"With her words, those nearby finally started to catch on.From start to finish, Jayson hadn't shown the slightest crack of emotion. He sat there like none of it had anything to do with him.Jayson slowly glanced at Cecilia. "It's just an investigation. Why should I be worried?"Cecilia frowned at his words. The sense of strangeness in her chest sharpened by the second.Nancy had to be dealt with

    Gary, representing the military, fixed Nancy with a cold stare. "Nancy, you'll need to cooperate with the investigation from here on out."The situation was driven straight to the climax. No one had expected things to escalate this far.Meanwhile, Samson had been quiet for a long while before finally turning his gaze to Ariel. A storm of emotions flashed in his eyes. He had always known Ariel wasn't simple. He had even suspected she might be better than him, but he had never once imagined this.This outcome made Nancy's mind go blank. Her breath came in short, uneven bursts as she looked toward Cedric, who sat there calmly. For the first time, she lost her composure in public. She couldn't understand. How could this be happening?Noticing her gaze, Cedric narrowed his eyes. He knew full well how this happened. He scoffed. "How bold. Did she even think about the consequences of taking such a risk?"He knew Nancy had only one chance to access the confidential U.N2 code—yesterday.I
