Semua Bab Dead at Heart: Bab 211 - Bab 220

Nancy refused to be affected by what just happened.Zach stared at Nancy's side profile for a while. Before him was an intelligent, cultured, and confident woman. In comparison, some people from the Faye Tech team seemed a bit overly righteous.Zach reckoned that Nancy and the woman who developed U.N2 must share a lot of things in common.Perry made no further comments after seeing how things had unfolded.Instead, he opened WhatsApp and scrolled down until he came across the chat window with Ariel's name on it. He wanted to ask her some questions, but worried it might seem rather abrupt.After a moment's consideration, he found another friend's number on WhatsApp and sent him a message."I sent your business card to a… friend recently. Have you replied to her messages?"After a while, Liam finally responded to his message."You mean the one with the username Ari?"I turned down her request. I've been quite busy lately. Are you guys close?"Perry furrowed his brows. Since Lia

Zach also felt that it was rather inappropriate for the Faye Tech team to ask for Nancy to be replaced without a valid reason. However, being a businessman, Zach's priority was profit, and he knew he had to grasp opportunities when he saw them."Mr. Hockney told us he had found more suitable options for our company," Ariel replied flatly. "Thank you for expressing so much interest in collaborating with us, though."Yesterday, Chad told her that Vireon's side had expressed their eagerness to work with them. However, Ariel was not inclined to choose a partner who clearly held some form of prejudice against those in Faye Tech's management team.The best thing she could do was to politely reject his offer.Zach hadn't expected Ariel's response. He chuckled. Then, Zach turned his eyes to Janice and said jokingly, "Ms. Swanson, I know Ms. Walker is your friend. I suppose the two of you are so close that she can even speak on behalf of Faye Tech now?"Frederick glanced at Ariel and chime

Ariel looked at Freya for a moment. Eventually, she accepted Perry's offer to help. "Thank you. I owe you one."After all, she and Perry weren't even that close. If possible, Ariel didn't want to owe anyone any huge favors.Perry could sense that Ariel was trying to keep her distance. He hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Alright. I'll let you know once I've made an appointment with him."Ariel came up with an excuse and left first. Freya watched as Ariel walked away.She turned her head and glanced at Perry. "Ms. Walker's husband is an awful man. Am I right? He didn't care for Ms. Walker or try to keep her company, even though she's sick. I definitely won't date a man like that in the future."Perry was struck speechless."You can't say things like that when others are around. Alright?"Freya pursed her lips. "Why, though?""Ms. Walker's divorced now."Freya was shocked at first. However, she quickly said, "Really? Can you try pursuing Ms. Walker and ask her to be your g

Ariel had no trouble recognizing the woman in the photo—it was Nancy. Moreover, Matt had included a caption with the picture."Being a consultant for the day."They were probably discussing and deciding how to give the house a brand new look, both inside and out.When Ariel received Betty's phone call, she had an inkling. Jayson had torn down many of the structures inside their marital home to build a new one for Nancy.After all, this house was located in one of the most strategic locations in Eldoria, so there were hardly any downsides to living there."He took her to the marital home in which the two of you had lived for three years. Is he already planning to have her move into the place?" Chad knitted his brows. "It looks like Jayson might be in a more of a hurry to divorce than you are."Ariel averted her gaze. "He's tearing down a lot of the structures inside the house. The construction process will probably take several months."They were likely at the stage where Nancy—t

Betty glanced alternately between the couple.She stepped forward and slapped Jayson on his arm. "Why aren't you saying anything to Ari, you heartless boy? When will you ever change that attitude of yours?"It wasn't like Betty hadn't noticed how Jayson had only given his attention to those books ever since he returned. He acted as though the books were much more interesting than Ariel was.Matt heard those words as well. He said teasingly, "It's because you're worried that Ariel may suddenly change her mind and refuse to get divorced if you show her even a bit of kindness now. After all, women are mostly… soft-hearted and sentimental."Especially if it was Ariel, who was deeply in love with Jayson.Jayson paid no mind to Matt's comment. He simply ignored it and ended the call."Why are you still standing there? You should drop Ari off at her office." Betty couldn't possibly let Ariel leave on her own. She dragged Jayson along as she stepped through the front door.Ariel had jus
