Chapter 622

Author: Tightrope
Morgan's threat echoed in Ariel's ears.

The mockery in her eyes only deepened. Good thing she had never expected anything from this so-called father, so there was no disappointment now—just bitter amusement.

Back then, when the reporters rushed in, Jayson had already made sure she was covered. The only image they caught was of the two of them, fully dressed, alone in the room. Even that, Jayson had handled it cleanly and left no trace.

Who would have thought that the true malice would come from Morgan in the end?

But to Lori, Ariel's calm was nothing but fear. Smiling, she tapped on Ariel's desk as her eyes swept across the luxurious office. "Didn't I warn you not to be so ungrateful? You think we don't know exactly what you are? Ariel, we did you a favor by giving you the perfect husband. Don't tell me you plan on biting the hand that fed you."

"Lori, don't talk to your sister like that. She's always been smart and has never given me a headache. I'm sure she'll talk to Jayson on

    Janice exploded, blurting out those words so abruptly that even Ariel was caught off guard. Jayson stumbled back a few steps from the force, though he didn't fall—his strong core muscles kept him steady.His dark eyes revealed no particular emotion as his gaze briefly landed on Janice.Ariel knew Jayson wasn't the type to lash out at a woman over something like this.Janice, on the other hand, had completely lost her composure. Devastated by Ariel's illness, she could only vent her anger and resentment on the man she blamed for it all."Why is a man like you still alive? How is that fair? You were unfaithful, and you neglected Ariel. She suffered endless pain and agony all alone. Are you even human?"She had lost all sense of reason. She didn't care that she was shouting at Jayson, nor did she care about the consequences. Her heart ached for Ariel, and she thought she should have done this long ago.Jayson stared at her silently, his voice calm and steady, his eyes unreadable.

    Morgan's eyes lit up at those words. Until now, he had assumed Jayson felt nothing for Ariel, but recent events had planted seeds of doubt in his mind. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come up with the idea of getting Jayson's help to boost the Sanderson family's business.Still, Morgan thought it inappropriate to suddenly raise the issue of the materials right then."If that's truly how you feel, then Ari is a fortunate woman." Morgan smiled. "Still, our family has been—"Jayson nodded slowly. "Have you heard about the project in Guilmant that's being funded by an overseas company? According to Bluum Corp's assessment, the project will generate considerable revenue in the future. It's a safe and solid venture. If you're interested, I can put you in touch with the right people."Morgan immediately straightened. He knew that any project Jayson endorsed had to be exceptional. "Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?""Of course not. After all, we're in-laws." Jayson glanced at him. "H

    After leaving the hospital, Janice still wore a gloomy expression. The woman who was usually so bubbly and cheerful seemed unusually quiet and downcast. Ariel could sense her sadness and worry. She gently put her arms around Janice. "I'm still here and doing fine, aren't I? Don't worry. I've been receiving proper treatment. Dr. Spencer is an experienced specialist who has worked overseas for many years. He told me the surgery has a high success rate. I'm not lying to you. I'm telling you the truth."Janice wanted to scream at Ariel for hiding everything from her. But whenever she looked at Ariel's frail figure, all her anger turned into sorrow and pity."I'm just so mad. All you got from those three years of marriage is this illness. And now you even have to go through the pain of losing your child. I wish I could make Jayson feel the same hell you're suffering right now."But what kind of punishment could make a man like Jayson truly suffer? What would even count as revenge t

    If Ariel attended the wedding, Lucas might finally realize they weren't meant for each other. "Who do you think you are, ordering me around while acting all high and mighty?" Ariel asked, her voice calm and indifferent.Wendy's expression darkened.Ariel glanced at Wendy's obvious baby bump. "Ms. Johnstone, no one can take from you what's rightfully yours. And just because you want something doesn't mean everyone else wants it too."Wendy had claimed she and Lucas had known each other for years, but blaming Ariel for how things turned out was unreasonable."You said I was a hindrance. I'm curious—when did you two start seeing each other? Lucas was single before he went to prison."Wendy's expression tightened at Ariel's remark; a flash of unease passed her eyes. She had visited Lucas and confirmed their relationship a month after his sentence. Wendy had vowed to wait for him, and he had promised not to let her down."What are you doing here?" Lucas demanded, clutching his stoma

    Honestly, Janice didn't want to see Ariel and Jayson tangled up again over something like this. Since Ariel had already decided to end the pregnancy, there was no need to make things more complicated.Ariel had made up her mind long ago. She shook her head, her face expressionless. "No. Let's just pretend none of this ever happened."In her view, it was only a matter of time before she and Jayson officially separated. Besides, she wasn't in any condition to carry a pregnancy to full term. Telling him would only create more problems.She didn't want the trouble of discussing with Jayson whether to keep the child and risk him discovering her illness. There was simply no need for him to know. It was her body, her choice.Liam regarded Ariel thoughtfully. As he had suspected, the problems between her and Jayson ran deep."I know this is a lot to process," he said gently. "Don't worry. Take some time to calm down and gather your thoughts. When you're ready, make an appointment with the

    "I don't really understand what the report says. We'll have to see a doctor and ask for a clearer explanation." Janice wasn't familiar with the medical jargon. Liam turned his head and said in a calm voice, "What's the report about? I can take a look at it."Janice had met Liam before. She frowned slightly. "You're Ari's…""I'm Ms. Walker's attending physician." Liam met her gaze and held out his hand.The corners of Janice's mouth twitched. Then, she placed the report in his hand.Ariel looked at him nervously. "What does it say?"Liam scanned the report, then shifted his gaze to Ariel. He seemed slightly surprised. "You're 11 weeks pregnant."Ariel's heart skipped a beat. Her face was filled with bewilderment. For a moment, she struggled to process her thoughts as a rush of complicated emotions surged through her.Janice asked, "How is this even possible? Can her body cope with the pregnancy in her current condition?"Liam had a grim look on his face. "Frankly speaking, it'
