All Chapters of Dead at Heart: Chapter 521 - Chapter 530

After Nancy arrived at Yeager Group's building, someone showed her the way to the higher floors.Samson's office was located on one of the top floors. Just as Nancy entered the room with her résumé in her hand, Samson happened to look up.His eyes narrowed slightly. Then, Samson gestured to an empty seat. "Please have a seat, Ms. Stanton."Nancy didn't notice anything out of the ordinary in his expression. She smoothed down her skirt and sat on the chair. "Mr. Pryce, I'll get straight to the point. I've come to see you today because I'm very interested in what you guys do at the Yeager Group. I would like to join the Yeager Group."Samson signaled to his subordinate to prepare some tea for Nancy with a light wave of his hand. He chuckled when he heard what Nancy said. "What do you mean by that, Ms. Stanton?"Nancy slid her résumé toward Samson. "That's my résumé. I was hoping I could perhaps secure a position here if you think I'm a good fit for the company."Actually, Samson kne

What Ariel needed to do now was wait for the subsequent announcements.That afternoon, she received a WhatsApp message from Cecilia."I'm celebrating my birthday this Saturday. I've chartered a cruise ship. You should come and join me. Bring Jan along too. Mr. Hockney can come along as well if he's free."Ariel tried to recall if she had any appointments on Saturday; she had none.Ariel figured she should accept Cecilia's invitation since they were pretty much like comrades now.After giving it some thought, Ariel sent a response. "Sure. I'll let the others know about it too."Chad happened to drop by Ariel's office to pass her a revised technical proposal just then. Ariel told him about Cecilia's invitation. "Are you coming with us?"Chad replied without even looking up, "You ladies should go ahead and have some fun. I'll sit this one out. Besides, I don't know her that well."Ariel grinned. "You'll get to know her better if you meet her more often. She's invited you too."Ch

Nancy seemed poised as she finished the drink without any complaints. Even Cecilia found that quite surprising.Someone like Nancy, who had been spoiled rotten by Jayson, had no trouble swallowing her pride and making a toast to Cecilia now to please her.However, Cecilia showed no signs of softening toward her. "If it weren't for Mr. Larkin, someone like her would never be allowed to get on my ship."Then, Cecilia turned around and handed Ariel another glass of fruit juice. There was a stark difference in the way she treated Ariel and Nancy.Although Cecilia did not respond to Nancy, she cared enough to show Jayson some respect, considering his status. "Please have a seat, Mr. Larkin."The other guests had overheard some parts of their conversation. They kept sneaking glances in Cecilia's group's direction from time to time.Nancy wasn't sure if Ariel would heed her words. After Jayson picked a seat, she sat next to him right away. Compared to Ariel, Nancy seemed more like Jayso

Nancy didn't get to exchange and try Jayson's drink. She had no choice but to raise her glass. "As long as it makes you happy, Ms. Pryce."Cecilia swirled her glass and smiled enigmatically at Nancy, never taking a sip. She had offered to drink with Nancy but clearly wanted her to drink alone.Nancy could tell that much as well. However, she knew she was in no position to decline Cecilia's requests. So, she downed the drink.Nancy felt like her throat was burning this time. The alcohol was so strong that Nancy's face flushed scarlet. She could tell the drink she just had was a type of liquor infamous for its high alcoholic content.Cecilia refilled her glass.However, Nancy hesitated this time."What's the matter? You don't want to drink anymore?"Nancy pursed her lips. She felt deeply embarrassed since she was being publicly humiliated. All along, she had been cherished and protected. She had never been treated like an escort and forced to drink like this before.Jayson turned

"I saw Ms. Stanton going into Mr. Larkin's room just now…""Really? Are you sure you've seen it right?""There's no way I'd mistake someone else for her. She really went into the room. What's more, Mr. Larkin has already returned to his room."Ariel tried to remain conscious even though her legs were about to give way and her head felt like it might split at any moment. She managed to hear the two attendants' conversation.However, she couldn't be bothered with what they were talking about. Jayson and Nancy were free to do whatever they wanted. Ariel couldn't even ensure her own safety right now.She forced herself to stay awake. As she arrived outside her room, Ariel lifted her head and glanced at the room number. After confirming it was the right number, she entered the room and closed the door behind her.In the darkness, she staggered toward the bed. Eventually, she plopped down on the soft bed.…The party was still in full swing on the fifth floor. Some people stayed and
