Chapter 560

Author: Tightrope
Evelyn still couldn't wrap her head around it.

Standing under the veranda, she watched the rain trickle down in thin, silver lines, her expression complicated. "I've heard a few things, and it seems Mr. Warbrooke is involved as well. Jayson, don't you think you owe me an explanation?"

She just couldn't make sense of it.

Cedric had been brought in at Jayson's request, through Emerich, all for Nancy's sake. Under normal circumstances, her situation wouldn't have turned out so bad.

But in the end, why did Nancy's downfall get linked to Cedric?

Worse, Cedric had technically been introduced to Nancy through the Cavell family. If Nancy got dragged down, and Cedric himself admitted to being involved, it wouldn't be long before people started digging into the Cavells as well. That kind of scandal was the last thing Evelyn wanted.

"If I'd actually accepted Nancy back then, this whole mess would have splashed onto the Cavells too. What were you thinking?"

  • Dead at Heart   Chapter 576

    Ariel couldn't quite put her feelings into words. After all these years, she had finally received an apology from one of the perpetrators—someone who had enjoyed countless privileges by exploiting Elena's work.The circumstances were unusual. However, if not for this situation, Nancy would never have uttered those words.Nancy was apologizing only because she didn't want to be held accountable for her actions. Yet what she was being forced to do now would be enough to torment her for the rest of her life, especially for a woman as arrogant as she was.The collapse of one's spirit and pride didn't just strip away fame and fortune—it left a person in unbearable turmoil.Ariel ignored the stiff, resentful look on Nancy's face. She turned her gaze toward Jayson, her eyes cold and indifferent. "We can't let her go. She must take responsibility for what she's done."Nancy's expression twisted with horror and confusion. "Ariel Walker! What more do you want from me?"She even got down on

    "Jayson, what's the meaning of this?" The corners of Nancy's eyes turned red. She tried very hard to suppress the emotions surging through her.Jayson directed his gaze to her. Even though he had a calm look in those deep-set eyes, Nancy couldn't help feeling this chilliness around her upon sensing his gaze."I arrived here late since I had to handle another matter first. Did it bother you?" Jayson's tone was flat and steady.However, Nancy's heart missed a beat.Ariel had a dawning realization the moment she saw Nancy. Who else would try to plot something like that against her at a time like this?Nevertheless, Ariel was surprised that Nancy would go so far as to attempt something so wicked and appalling when the latter knew the government was coming after her.Instead of running away at once, Nancy decided to get rid of Ariel permanently before she tried to escape."Is that so? I thought you weren't coming." Nancy steadied her voice. She looked as though she had no idea about

    Ariel's brain stopped working at that moment. There was a loud ringing in her ears. She felt as though the blood in her veins had gone cold.Ariel stood rooted to the spot. She couldn't even lift her foot.She couldn't see the car clearly either. Everything was quickly turning white before her eyes.Ariel subconsciously held her breath.Just then, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan came speeding this way from a certain direction. The car swerved and drove toward the black car at high speed.With a loud crash, the car speeding toward Ariel was sent flying several yards away.The night breeze swept through Ariel and ruffled her hair.There was another sound of brakes screeching.Ariel had yet recovered from the shock and horror when someone came up from behind her and carried her in their arms.As she was held in a tight embrace, the faint, familiar scent of fir invaded Ariel's senses. She was carried into another car.Ariel lifted her gaze and saw Jayson's deep-set eyes.For a split seco

    Even the lawyer who was supposed to defend Sarah's case had pulled out at the last minute. Sarah was in hot water too.They could only resort to shady, underhanded methods. Their top priority now was to avoid prosecution and imprisonment.Nancy understood what Sarah was trying to say. She took a deep breath. "We won't be able to leave the country by flight. We'll have to use other ways… You should go first."Sarah never imagined that their family would one day end up in this state. People treated them with scorn and contempt ever since their reputation was ruined.They had lost their wealth, status, and all the great opportunities that were initially available to them.Sarah couldn't help feeling indignant. She tightened her fists. A cold glint flickered in her eyes.…Edward and Jayson had made a last-minute arrangement to meet the next day. In the evening, Edward visited Bluum Tower. Arthur greeted Edward and personally showed him in.Jayson left the conference room and wen

    Ariel had just returned to Faye Technologies' office after finishing some work when she received a call from Edward, who informed her of a new development. "Sarah's lawyer has refused to represent her in court."Surprised, Ariel asked, "He refused to represent her?"Edward, on the contrary, didn't sound surprised at all. He responded, "That's right. Considering all the issues Sarah's facing, this will probably be a heavy blow for her."Ariel pondered for a moment. "This is quite unexpected.""Not really. Mr. Larkin had introduced Sarah to the lawyer, who was working abroad. Perhaps there were reasons why he decided to do that."Edward continued, "The lawyer probably never intended to take the case. He simply agreed to their request to buy time, ensuring Sarah wouldn't go looking for another lawyer."Basically, Sarah's side will be completely crushed. Without the necessary help and preparations, it's impossible for them to find another lawyer now, and judging by their current situ

  • Dead at Heart   Chapter 571

    Ariel was a complete, independent individual. The achievements she had attained were simply the fruits of her efforts.She couldn't possibly blame it all on the old her who felt lost and helpless. Every human had flaws. Ariel was just glad that she had chosen to change and become a better version of herself.Ariel liked her new self.Nancy could tell from Ariel's expression that she wasn't going to help her. Nancy knew very well about what had happened between Sarah and Elena that Ariel had just shared since she had been part of it as well. Still…"Ariel, you're just shifting the blame to me now. Can't we treat those things as separate incidents?" Nancy's breathing became quick and uneven. She tried to persuade Ariel that it was their mothers who had bad blood and not them.Ariel cast her a stony gaze and said mockingly, "I am treating them as separate incidents, though. You should be imprisoned for what you did during the competition. Congrats, Ms. Stanton."Without sparing anot
