Alle Kapitel von Dead at Heart: Kapitel 381 – Kapitel 390

If this scandal didn't get handled properly, Ariel wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.She finally looked up at Lucas, but her gaze was cold. "Do you think Faye Tech did it, or do you think I did it?"Frowning, Lucas stepped in closer and reached out to grab her shoulders with quiet intensity. "Does it matter? I don't care what the truth is. Just cut ties with Faye Tech now. You can have any position you want at Jadeon Tech."Ariel stepped back, her body language making it clear she wasn't interested in his so-called protection.After over a decade as siblings, Lucas still knew nothing about her at all.She didn't bother wasting her breath. She just brushed past him and walked off.Lucas didn't get why Ariel was being so stubborn. His face clouded over as he turned to watch her walk away.That stubbornness of hers hadn't changed since they were kids. Once she made up her mind, she would rather bleed than back down.He had wanted her to get a reality check, but this wasn'

Criminal charges?That possibility had never even crossed Nancy's mind. She had assumed this was just routine questioning.Even after getting back in the car, her hands and feet were still ice-cold.This wasn't how things were supposed to go. They had already filed a lawsuit against Faye Technologies. And now she was suddenly implicated and might even be facing jail time?Terrance's disappearance sounded more like running away now.The police had made it clear to Nancy.If they couldn't find Terrance, then as the lead executive of the company and his partner, she would still be held jointly responsible, even if she hadn't personally accused Faye Technologies of plagiarism.And worse, Faye Technologies now claimed that the source code and parts of the technical proposal used in Veyo Solutions' new system were taken directly from the stolen data. That was infringement.One bombshell after another crashed down on her.Nancy couldn't even hold her expression steady. Her chest rose

Ariel had not suspected Seth at first since he knew only a small part of the code instead of the most significant parts. The problem was that Terrance had managed to provide them with a rough draft of a certain part of the technical proposal. It became a serious issue when those two things came together.Ariel learned more details of what happened after the police conducted further investigation.According to Seth's speculation, Terrance probably deduced the logic and theory behind a very small part of the technical proposal by looking at the code Seth had provided and from what he had observed through Veyo Solutions' liaison with Vireon.By using backward deduction, Terrance managed to generate and produce approximately 3% of Ariel's technical proposal.Then, he made up a lie and tried to pull that act before.Ariel could tell that Terrance was someone brilliant and capable. Unfortunately, he had impure intentions. Other engineers might not have been able to achieve what he was c

Zach had been feeling extremely troubled and frustrated since the incident could negatively affect their business. If Faye Technologies insisted they were at fault, Vireon might be labeled as a high-risk business partner to work or collaborate with.Frankly, Zach had not expected that an issue like this would happen within the Veyo Solutions team and Nancy had actually been tricked by Terrance.He tried calling Faye Technologies' office several times. However, their lines were likely jammed with people calling to speak with their team. Zach was unable to get through in the end.After thinking about it deeply, Zach decided to call Liam and ask if he had any suggestions on what he could do.Technically speaking, Zach was dragged into this mess because of Nancy.Liam had just finished handling some research-related work. After listening to Zach's concerns, he asked, "Did the Faye Tech team already say that they'd press charges on Vireon too?""I'm not sure. Me and… Ariel Walker, you

As soon as he came in through the door, Chad shoved a box of fruit candies into Ariel's hands. His brows arched. "Guess what happened?"Ariel opened the box and took one candy. "What happened?""Professor Jones announced on a public platform that he would no longer be Nancy's supervisor due to the recent disputes she had gotten involved in. A lot of people from our industry have heard the news. Nancy's seriously lost face and credibility this time with her being plagued by all this negative news."Andre was pretty much Ariel's senior since they were both Carlos' students. He had witnessed Ariel's growth over the past few years. Naturally, Andre was infuriated upon learning how Nancy had almost succeeded in damaging Ariel's reputation.Moreover, Nancy was facing charges that could result in her being sent to prison. Neither the university nor Andre would accept a student bearing such a negative image and risk having their own reputations ruined.Ariel was quite surprised to hear th
