All Chapters of Dead at Heart: Chapter 571 - Chapter 580

Ariel was a complete, independent individual. The achievements she had attained were simply the fruits of her efforts.She couldn't possibly blame it all on the old her who felt lost and helpless. Every human had flaws. Ariel was just glad that she had chosen to change and become a better version of herself.Ariel liked her new self.Nancy could tell from Ariel's expression that she wasn't going to help her. Nancy knew very well about what had happened between Sarah and Elena that Ariel had just shared since she had been part of it as well. Still…"Ariel, you're just shifting the blame to me now. Can't we treat those things as separate incidents?" Nancy's breathing became quick and uneven. She tried to persuade Ariel that it was their mothers who had bad blood and not them.Ariel cast her a stony gaze and said mockingly, "I am treating them as separate incidents, though. You should be imprisoned for what you did during the competition. Congrats, Ms. Stanton."Without sparing anot

Even the lawyer who was supposed to defend Sarah's case had pulled out at the last minute. Sarah was in hot water too.They could only resort to shady, underhanded methods. Their top priority now was to avoid prosecution and imprisonment.Nancy understood what Sarah was trying to say. She took a deep breath. "We won't be able to leave the country by flight. We'll have to use other ways… You should go first."Sarah never imagined that their family would one day end up in this state. People treated them with scorn and contempt ever since their reputation was ruined.They had lost their wealth, status, and all the great opportunities that were initially available to them.Sarah couldn't help feeling indignant. She tightened her fists. A cold glint flickered in her eyes.…Edward and Jayson had made a last-minute arrangement to meet the next day. In the evening, Edward visited Bluum Tower. Arthur greeted Edward and personally showed him in.Jayson left the conference room and wen

"Jayson, what's the meaning of this?" The corners of Nancy's eyes turned red. She tried very hard to suppress the emotions surging through her.Jayson directed his gaze to her. Even though he had a calm look in those deep-set eyes, Nancy couldn't help feeling this chilliness around her upon sensing his gaze."I arrived here late since I had to handle another matter first. Did it bother you?" Jayson's tone was flat and steady.However, Nancy's heart missed a beat.Ariel had a dawning realization the moment she saw Nancy. Who else would try to plot something like that against her at a time like this?Nevertheless, Ariel was surprised that Nancy would go so far as to attempt something so wicked and appalling when the latter knew the government was coming after her.Instead of running away at once, Nancy decided to get rid of Ariel permanently before she tried to escape."Is that so? I thought you weren't coming." Nancy steadied her voice. She looked as though she had no idea about

Nancy was a smart woman. Once love no longer clouded her judgment, everything became clear.Jayson had never simply wanted to see the Stantons fall. He had used her, pushing her deeper into ruin while paving the way for Ariel.Every scheme, every uproar she caused became a stepping stone that elevated Ariel's name to global recognition. She was nothing more than a pawn.Had she not walked straight into each of Jayson's traps, Ariel would never have risen so quickly. Without Nancy's scandals drawing attention, Ariel might have remained an unknown researcher, quietly dedicating herself to her work. If not for his greater plans, Jayson could have eliminated Nancy long ago. Instead, he chose a path where Ariel would repeatedly triumph over her, gaining revenge while also reaping benefits.Even if Nancy had stayed abroad, Jayson had countless ways to make her suffer. But none would have been as effective as what he orchestrated now.Nancy and Sarah's reputations were in ruins. Nancy

Jayson followed behind Ariel at his own pace, watching as she weaved through the crowd, searching for the right place. Eventually, Ariel managed to get a doctor to examine his injury."There don't appear to be any fractures. But his joint is dislocated, and there are soft tissue injuries. We'll need to treat those. Please remove your shirt."When the doctor examined the injury more closely, he couldn't help but glance again at Jayson's face. He was impressed by how calmly Jayson endured the pain.Jayson did as the doctor requested. He unbuttoned his shirt and slipped it off. Ariel furrowed her brows. The sight of the dislocated joint looked awful. Meanwhile, the cut wasn't too deep, but it looked painful.Then her eyes caught on a scar running several inches along his arm.Jayson's skin was fair, and though the scar had faded to a lighter shade, it still stood out against the firm lines of his arm.That scar came from the time he had rescued her at the Spencer residence.Ari
