Chapter 713

Author: Tightrope
"The feelings I had for Lucas, whether it was familial love or otherwise, I never carried them into our marriage."

Ariel's voice was calm, almost detached.

Since Jayson already knew nearly everything, she didn't want him to continue misunderstanding, thinking she had been longing for Lucas during their three years together. At the very least, she wanted to clear the air.

Jayson's eyelashes fluttered. His eyes reddened as he gazed at her.

Ariel closed her eyes. "Jayson, I truly loved you back then."

During those three years, she had been completely devoted to him. However, Ariel was never someone who openly expressed her true feelings.

That single sentence was enough to send waves of emotion crashing over Jayson. His heart ached unbearably. All those years Ariel had loved him, he had only misunderstood her.

Ariel was completely spent. After making that last remark, she closed her eyes to rest.

Jayson was left sitting there processing the overwhelming emotions surging through him

    Jayson's phone on the table rang again. He glanced at it once. It was an unknown number, so he declined.The caller seemed to be getting worked up. They kept trying.While flipping through Sanderson Group's details, Jayson simply blocked the number.…Ariel didn't rest for long. The flare-up had been unexpected, but she still needed to wrap up the first phase of work at the base.She went to the hangar to run the new system tests. Maintenance and integration required repeated trials.By the time she wrapped up, it was late afternoon.Walking from the hangar toward the data center, she nearly ran into Samson stepping out of his car.She hadn't seen him since the last incident.When he spotted her, something flickered across his usually composed features. He stopped where he stood to watch her.Ariel just glanced up briefly before returning her focus to the detailed data in her hands.The investigation into the altered data was still ongoing. It clearly wasn't a simple case, a

    Morgan froze, his face pale with shock. He hadn't expected Jayson to speak so coldly and ruthlessly. Sweat ran down his temples. "I'll give them to you, but only after the money hits my account."By now, he was starting to understand just how capable Ariel was. She could even make Jayson go to such lengths to protect her.Gritting his teeth, he forced a stiff smile to smooth things over. "Jayson, look, this project was your suggestion. Now that problems have come up, you can't just stand by. I'm Ari's father, after all. You should at least take responsibility for her sake, shouldn't you?"Morgan was in a mess.The project ran into trouble suddenly, and the scheduled repayment date was fast approaching. If he didn't fix it fast, Sanderson Group could collapse entirely.Jayson leaned back in his chair and drummed his knuckles on the table. "If you had treated Ariel well, maybe we could still talk nicely today. But since you've long meant nothing to her, what right do you have to exp

    Jayson wouldn't let Ariel carry this burden alone anymore.He didn't say anything about the Sanderson family, but Ariel understood enough.The Sandersons' situation was probably more complicated than she had been told. She didn't press him.As for the surgery…"Thank you." She knew the experts he had gathered would be among the best in the world. That deserved gratitude.With her life on the line, she wasn't going to haggle with him over pride.Besides, Jayson had already helped her so much, openly and behind the scenes."If you want to thank me, just cooperate with the treatment. I won't accept any unexpected outcomes."Jayson stood. As he stared at her pale face, his throat tightened before he added slowly, "Ariel, I'm only responsible for you. If you're worried about your grandma or uncle, you have to push through for them. Let me be clear. If something happens to you, I'm not going to take over their care. Do it yourself."With that, he tapped her head lightly, then turned

    Jayson's lips were warm, carrying a cool, subtle scent. It hit Ariel's senses like a jolt.She froze at once. The anger that had been raging through her mind just moments ago stalled midstream.She couldn't process the situation and couldn't understand why Jayson would do something like this out of nowhere.Neither of them closed their eyes. Jayson didn't miss a single flicker of expression on her face.Before she could react, his other hand had already ended the call.It wasn't until Morgan's voice faded that Ariel snapped back to herself.Jayson's move had been too sudden. By the time she registered it, she had only taken a small step back."What are you doing?" She frowned slightly as she looked at him, feeling a bit puzzled.It wasn't really a big deal. After all, they had done this countless times before.But after so long, and with their previous unpleasant encounter, it was inevitable that she felt strange.After asking the question, Ariel lifted her hand to wipe her l

    Cecilia had been famous in the circle since graduating. She was outstanding. Was Jayson blind?"You'd better lay low around Jayson for a while. You think he's someone you can push around?" Samson came downstairs, pulled a box of pills from a drawer, and tossed it to Cecilia.Cecilia sneered. "What surprises me is that Ariel went through with the abortion quietly, and Jayson covered for her, hiding it from the Larkins. Otherwise, how could she have stayed so comfortably in their ranks?"That was what really set her off.Her art exhibition overseas was just around the corner, and thanks to everything with Jayson, she had been in such a bad state she could hardly paint. That alone was enough to leave her fuming.She scratched at her neck in frustration and shot Samson a look. "What about you? Don't tell me you've gotten too caught up in the act. Jayson teamed up with her and ruined your plans. What are you going to do about it?"Samson paused. As he recalled how Ariel had defended J

    Jayda fumed, but she swallowed it down.She knew all too well what Jayson was capable of. Back then, he had left them with no chance to breathe and practically exiled them for years.That fear of him still lived in the pit of her stomach, so she didn't dare utter a word now.The angriest of all was, of course, Cecilia.She had come today in good spirits, but she hadn't expected Jayson to be even more cutting than before.All her life, she had been the one admired, praised, and held aloft. Yet with Jayson, she was embarrassed again and again.And now, to have him use a word like "secondary wife" to describe her was pure humiliation.Shane pressed his lips into a tight line. Anger burned inside him, but he forced himself to keep his composure. "Jayson, Ms. Pryce is a guest here."But Jayson had already walked past him. The polish of his usual restraint had curdled into venom. "If you still can't see the situation clearly, you can go back to Isbell for a few years and figure out w
