Perry understood almost instantly the underlying meaning behind Ariel's words.The Houston Group had managed to secure the patent license without much difficulty. Yet, it was not because Faye Technologies had any interest in doing business with them. Instead, it was because Perry had helped Ariel before.Also, Ariel would not owe him any favors anymore since she had done this for him this time.While staring at her impassive face, Perry understood clearly that Ariel had been courteous and polite to him not because she saw him as a friend.After a while, he nodded. "I understand."Truthfully, Perry knew from the beginning that Ariel wouldn't see him as anything more than a business acquaintance.Moreover, he was Jayson's friend. His and Ariel's relationship just couldn't possibly develop into something more.Frankly, even if they did, Perry was not sure he would be able to handle the situation well.He and Jayson had known each other for more than ten years. Perry couldn't possi

Ariel couldn't quite understand what was happening. Her mind was already a mess since she was feeling worried. She had a confused, dubious look in her eyes the moment she saw Jayson."What are you doing here?"Jayson slowly directed his gaze to the bright red light above the operating room door."Why can't I be here?" Jayson replied nonchalantly. He sounded as if he did not really understand what Ariel was asking.Ariel furrowed her brows. Jayson's sudden appearance had interrupted her train of thought. "Mr. Larkin, you know what I mean."Ariel didn't want to waste time beating around the bush.Jayson fixed his gaze on Ariel's face. After staring at it for quite some time, he seemed to have noticed that her face looked a lot smaller. Ariel was so thin that her chin and jawline looked excessively defined.Jayson took another glance at her and said, "I'm here to keep you company."Ariel frowned. "How did you know my uncle's having the operation today?"Jayson responded unhurried

Ariel's heart missed a beat. She lifted her gaze and met Liam's eyes.He hadn't shown any excessive interest or eagerness in trying to dig up more information. It seemed like he was just asking about Jayson because he saw him earlier.Ariel gave a slight nod. "He left."She gave a short, precise answer.Ariel didn't try to explain her relationship with Jayson, nor did she remind Liam that he shouldn't make any strange assumptions about them.It would seem like she was trying really hard to hide something instead.There was no use explaining too much since Liam had seen them together. It would be better if they just put an end to the conversation.Liam wasn't exactly that surprised. He could tell that Ariel didn't want to talk about Jayson.He found it completely understandable. Ariel was not obligated to tell him anything, especially when it involved her private matters."As the patient's family member, you'll be quite busy during the next 24 hours. Fortunately, with the medic

Ariel couldn't be bothered to gauge Nancy's reaction. She didn't spare her a glance.Veyo Solutions reacted quickly by reaching out to Vireon Technologies. However, having a partnership was completely different from having full control over the technology.Things might look stable on the surface, but in truth, they wouldn't gain much from it. It was just barely enough for them to stay afloat in the tide of innovation.It would all depend on whether the people Jayson brought in could actually come up with something new.Ariel wasn't worried.She knew the caliber of her flight control system. Even if Jayson injected Veyo Solutions with fresh talent, trying to develop a brand-new system that could rival hers in two years was impossible. All he had really done was speed up the timeline.…That morning, Ariel spoke to Lesley and decided to delay her next round of chemotherapy.She had been physically and mentally drained these past few days. Pushing through the side effects right

The aerospace research institute had opened up 200 visitor slots. Companies had to submit group applications in advance.The front entrance was packed with people.A group had just stepped out of their vehicle.When Ariel turned around, she happened to see Jayson getting out and holding the door to shield Nancy from the edge.Nancy was clearly in a good mood. She tilted her head up and smiled sweetly at him as they chatted.Jayson responded now and then.Meanwhile, Matt and Frederick stepped out of another car, chatting as they walked toward Jayson and Nancy.Soon after, they all turned to look toward Ariel and Chad.Ariel had already turned away and walked into the entrance with Chad. She didn't bother with greetings or small talk.Jayson gave her retreating figure a glance, then turned his focus to a board member from another company who had come over to chat.Once everyone made it inside, the coordinator came out to sort the groups, which naturally brought them all into cl
