Chapter 550

Author: Tightrope
Gary's intervention nearly shook the entire stadium. For a few seconds after his words, there was complete silence.

Nancy was almost speechless. Her eyes went wide and panicked as she looked at Ariel, like she was trying to figure out whether Gary was telling the truth.

She instinctively took a step back. Her face was drained of color. "No way…"

Nancy wasn't the only one stunned. Everyone present froze.

Then, as if someone had struck a spark, the stadium erupted with gasps, murmurs, and exclamations.

Even Zach, who had seen his fair share of chaos, stared wide-eyed, unable to process it.

The others nearby weren't any calmer.

Perry, who had been composed moments ago, suddenly paled. He looked in disbelief at Ariel standing calmly before them.

He knew Ariel was skilled, but he had never imagined she could be… this terrifying.

In that instant, Perry felt a sharp pang of regret. If only he hadn't given up so quickly back then…

Frederick, who had just been speaking up for Nancy, w

    Nancy's throat constricted. She stared at Arthur with a look of bewilderment on her face.She thought she had probably misheard him. Raindrops rolled down her face. It was so cold that Nancy was finding it hard to process what was happening."What…?"Even though Arthur spoke politely, it only made him appear even colder and merciless. "We're simply giving you a suitable suggestion. Ms. Stanton, we hope you'll get the matter sorted out as soon as possible."Arthur did not waste his time standing there. After telling Nancy everything he needed to inform her about, Arthur walked past her and entered the house.Nancy stood by the door in a daze for quite some time. She couldn't understand how things had turned out this way.She was shaking all over uncontrollably. Nancy was both furious and terrified."Ariel Walker…" she muttered inwardly.Her mind was filled with only one thought. Ariel must be behind this. She must have done something or said something to Jayson. Otherwise, why w

    The terms had nothing to do with Veyo Solutions. It was all Nancy's personal commitment.So now…Arthur looked at her calmly. "This agreement was signed in your personal capacity, Ms. Stanton. It doesn't involve Veyo Solutions. You're required to pay an additional 60 million dollars."Nancy's face stiffened. Eventually, the color completely drained from it.She had completely forgotten about this personal wager agreement. Even if Veyo Solutions had a new owner, the agreement still applied only to her.Jayson had never mentioned it before, and she had assumed he wouldn't hold it against her.But now, at her lowest point, the wager agreement suddenly resurfaced. It would be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.Nancy looked at Jayson in disbelief. "Jayson, you're joking, right?"Jayson, holding a black umbrella, stepped closer and watched her through the gate. His expression was as calm as always. "If you've reviewed it, then go back."Her breathing was ragged, and her ey

    When had it come to this?Nancy suddenly found herself reduced to a mere onlooker, watching a scene that stabbed straight at her chest.For a moment, she felt like she might choke on her own anger.It had always been Ariel watching her stand by Jayson's side.She suddenly understood why Jayson hadn't come out to meet her. Surely Ariel had been playing tricks to keep him inside.Nancy's gaze was sharp enough to hurt.When Ariel turned to glance at her, her eyes were icy and indifferent. Standing on the steps above, she seemed to look down on Nancy. She watched her trembling lips and the bitter, resentful glare in her eyes.Nancy was no longer the glamorous, arrogant figure she once was.Meanwhile, Nancy felt a humiliating sense of disparity that made her chest tighten with discomfort. She had planned to tug at Jayson's heart by getting soaked in the rain. Yet now, it was Ariel—the one Jayson was caring for—who saw her in this pitiful state.Ariel was actually a little surprised

    Jayson's expression was distant. Noticing Ariel's gaze, he looked up at her. "Do you want some soup?"Ariel didn't bother playing along with this public display of affection. She replied, "No, thanks."Her gaze flicked to the window.It seemed like no one at the table was even thinking about Nancy being outside. Jayson didn't show any hint of unease as well.After dinner, none of them lingered.Betty didn't notice anything unusual between Ariel and Jayson. After giving many reminders, she got into her car.On her way out, Renee glanced toward the gate. She frowned slightly, then quickly got in the car. Out of sight, out of mind.Jayson took a call and headed off to discuss work.Only Evelyn stayed behind. She looked at Ariel. "The past is the past, but I'd like to give you some advice. Since you chose to marry Jayson, regardless of your current status, you're still his wife. You chose not to bring up your past back then, so I hope you won't hold any grudges over it."She wasn'

    Ariel instinctively frowned. Running into Nancy under the circumstances now didn't feel right.She didn't bother guessing what Jayson might do and turned to leave. After all, if anyone was going to be troubled, it would be him.As Ariel reached the top of the stairs, she saw Betty sitting in the living room with a cold expression and ordering the staff, "No outsiders are allowed in. If she won't leave, ask her to wait."Betty was usually warm and approachable, but she had a ruthless streak when handling matters. She offered no chances or negotiations.Beside her, Evelyn showed no expression and didn't say a word.By now, she knew all too well that Nancy was a complete mess. In her eyes, she was utterly incapable of shouldering any real responsibility.So when Ariel came down, Evelyn's face remained neutral, though her eyes betrayed a hint of something.Ariel had never revealed even a hint of her trump card these past few years. That kind of temperament was beyond ordinary people

    In Renee's eyes, Ariel was still throwing herself at Jayson and begging for a scrap of attention.Ariel stood up. "So what? Did I give birth to you?"She had no patience to argue with Renee, so she turned to leave.Renee looked at Ariel in shock. Her face went pale from Ariel's words. It felt like a sudden sting to the chest.She was taken aback by Ariel's attitude. Unable to pin down exactly what she felt, she chalked it up to anger and marched toward Ariel. "You're doing this on purpose, aren't you? Is it because I was close to Nancy before? Ariel, if you want me to acknowledge you as my sister-in-law, just say so."She reached out to grab Ariel's hand.But Ariel wasn't about to let her. She lifted her hand and swatted Renee's away.Renee's glass tilted, and orange juice spilled onto Ariel's stomach.This time, Ariel's eyes turned cold.Meeting that gaze, Renee felt a chill run through her. She froze.Jayson arrived just in time to see this scene. Frowning, he shot Renee a
