Semua Bab Dead at Heart: Bab 231 - Bab 240

They looked like a matching set. Could the Walker family's heirloom ring be paired with this necklace?Ariel studied it carefully, a flicker of doubt rising in her mind.But then she frowned thoughtfully.Did Jayson leave it there?She was sure there was nothing in the room when she came back to sleep last night.Was this supposed to be a birthday gift?She wasn't too surprised, though. Jayson had always arranged gifts for her before. He was meticulous about details and behaved like a gentleman.Even if he was cold, he kept basic courtesy. He would never deliberately pretend not to know.But now they were divorced.Ariel glanced at the necklace for only a few seconds before putting it away. She planned to ask Katie if the necklace and ring really were a matching set.If they weren't, she would have no reason to keep it. If they were, she wouldn't take it for nothing.She was taking an afternoon flight back to Eldoria today.Yesterday, Carlos asked her to meet with him this

No one had ever connected Ariel with drones before, but now, even an engineer of Colin's caliber was praising her openly.What was going on?Ariel had only joined Faye Technologies for a few months.Perry knew she was smart, but aerospace engineering wasn't an ordinary field one could master easily. Did Chad teach Ariel theoretical knowledge?Or…"Perry?"Nancy came up and tapped him on the shoulder. "Jayson and Matt are waiting over there. Let's go get in that car."Perry was abruptly pulled out of his thoughts. He glanced toward where Nancy indicated.Jayson was on a call nearby. When he sensed Perry's gaze, he turned to look over.Meeting Jayson's eyes, Perry suddenly felt a heaviness in his chest. An odd and unsettling feeling crept in.Should he ask Jayson about Ariel?Perry pressed his lips together, his mind racing as he started walking toward them.Yet, the fleeting idea to ask Jayson for information faded. It was replaced by another thought.Before getting in the

Making this decision wasn't easy for Ariel. For a long time, she had deliberately avoided confronting the topic of treatment.But now, with a clearer goal and a more definite path, she had no choice but to face it.It took a while before Lesley replied, "Ms. Walker, given your current condition, we still need a detailed treatment plan. Preoperative chemotherapy is essential. But I still hope you'll think this through."Ariel quietly stared at the message.Lesley had explained that a more conservative approach might be viable, aside from the necessary removal surgery. But compared to a full hysterectomy, it worked more slowly and was much more unstable.The only real advantage of the conservative route was that it could temporarily preserve her fertility.Ariel took a deep breath. She had thought about this.With the treatment timeline extended, the outcome remained uncertain. It was possible that in the end, all the conservative treatment would amount to was needless suffering.

Perry couldn't hide the shock on his face anymore.Was Ariel's name added to Faye Technologies' project not because Chad was trying to pad her résumé, but because she had genuinely participated in the development?That thought cracked open something in his mind and quickly took over all his reasoning.Perry sat there in deep contemplation for quite some time.It wasn't until Freya nudged him that he came back to his senses and drove her back to school.Right then, he got a call from Matt, asking him to come by Bluum Corp.Perry hesitated for a second before agreeing.When he arrived, he headed straight to the top floor and noticed Nancy was also there.A flicker of suspicion flashed in Perry's eyes.Inside the office, Jayson was sitting on the couch reading a document. In addition to Matt and Nancy, two sharply dressed businessmen were present."What took you so long?" Matt turned to look at Perry and teased, "Don't tell me you've been secretly dating someone."Nancy also lo

Ariel stood not far from the floor-to-ceiling window. The entire Class A office building across the street was clearly in view."Is there something you need?" she asked.Her mind raced, weighing the possible areas where Veyo Solutions might clash with Faye Technologies in the future.Jayson was likely still in the office. The faint sound of keyboard typing came through the phone. He spoke calmly, "The maid at Larkin Manor called. Grandma caught a bad cold that turned into mild pneumonia. She just got back from the hospital. Do you have time to visit her?"Ariel instinctively frowned, concerned about Betty's health. Late spring chills often caused people to fall ill.Before she could respond, Jayson added flatly, "Grandma told me yesterday she prepared a birthday gift for you but hasn't given it yet. You can pick it up when you visit."That reminded Ariel. Betty had called about a gift when Ariel was in Sorenta."She keeps mentioning your name. But if you can't make it, that's fi
