Chapter 281

Time would always pass quickly when things got hectic. As Boa would say, only people with too much free time on their hands could have the luxury of being dramatic. Three months had passed since Ariana went abroad.The research center was filled with actual geniuses who were dedicated to their scientific pursuits. There was no backstabbing or brown-nosing. Ariana loved the environment there. She had always possessed an exceptional talent in the medical field. Most geniuses tended to be arrogant about their abilities. Not a lot of people took her seriously when she first arrived. But after nearly a hundred days of working together, she had become a core member of the research team.Back in school and later at the hospital, there were always people who attributed her achievements to her looks, even if she was very capable at her job. But there, no one cared about her appearance. First off, everyone wore masks most of the time at work. Moreover, these scientists were so absorbed in

No one understood how much Ariana liked Spencer better than Jensen. No matter how determined Ariana had seemed in the past, Jensen didn't dare to let his guard down. That was why he was so concerned about Ariana being alone in a foreign country. After seeing her transformation, Jensen was genuinely happy for her. He had been thinking about Ariana so much. He had even arranged all his work and taken a long vacation to come to see her. When Ariana learned that Jensen planned to stay for two weeks, she was puzzled. "This place isn't exactly a shopping paradise or a scenic wonderland. Are you out of your mind for wanting to waste time here?"Besides, this area was near the country's border, so it wasn't exactly safe. However, the city they were in was somewhat better since it was more lively compared to its surroundings. Ariana had been safe because she rarely left the research center. Why would Jensen stay here for two weeks? Jensen had no intention of confessing his feelings at th

Spencer had repeatedly set aside his ego by apologizing, yet Ariana wouldn't give him a chance to make amends. It seemed rather ungrateful of her. He never thought love would occupy such a large part of his life. A man should be ambitious by working hard to conquer the business world. Those caught up in romance and sentimentality were people Spencer typically looked down upon. He had been quite disagreeable when Ariana started working at the hospital. With his ability to earn money, could Ariana not just be a full-time housewife and enjoy life? It would be normal if she had lived like Joanne, who spent her time shopping, strolling, caring for him, and being clingy. But what? Ariana was nothing but a thorn in his side! He didn't ask for much anymore. He had apologized, but Ariana still put on airs. Fine! Didn't she think she was capable? Wasn't she so sure he would beg her? This time, he would show Ariana that her little tricks wouldn't work on him anymore! And then… The

Spencer was lost in thought for a moment. If only… If Ariana had been this gentle, caring, and considerate toward him, how wonderful that would have been. "Spencer?"Spencer snapped back to reality and asked, "Has Connor contacted you?" "He's busy." Shanice poured out the chicken soup and handed it to him. "Says he has to go to many places." "Expanding his business overseas isn't as simple as it seems." Spencer took a sip. "It's very tasty. Thank you. I still have work to do. So, you can go now." "Alright." Shanice smiled. "I've noticed you don't look well lately. If you want to eat anything, just tell me, and I'll make it for you. You're like a brother to me since Connor is out of the country. Don't be so formal, Spencer.""Okay." After Shanice left, Spencer didn't touch the chicken soup again. He had a business dinner that night and only returned home close to midnight. He still lived in Ulrich Estate with Enrique. As he went upstairs to his bedroom and looked at the

The smile on Gerald's face froze. But he quickly adjusted his expression and handed the phone over. "It was Spencer." Ariana frowned. "No way! I blocked him." "He used another number," Gerald explained. "I was going to bring it to you, but I accidentally hit the answer button. I thought you might not want to talk when I heard it was him." "So, you answered the call for me?" Ariana didn't look too pleased. "Even if it was an accident, you shouldn't have talked to him, right?"Gerald stood up and looked at her. "I'm sorry. I didn't want to talk to him. But after the call was connected, what he said... was very unfriendly. I got worried, and..." Gerald knew the art of mixing one lie with ten truths. The call was indeed from Spencer using an unknown number, and he did accidentally hit the button. Also, Spencer's words were truly unfriendly. Gerald was telling the truth. As for the rest, he wouldn't tell Ariana. He was sure Ariana wouldn't check it with Spencer, either. Sure

Connor told Spencer the name of a country and city. He then asked, "Why are you calling so late?" Spencer said, "I have a few projects I'm planning to launch overseas. The city you're in now... Is it close to where Ariana is?" Connor replied, "Let me see... It actually is. And I have a project there in a few days, so I'll be heading over. I could meet her if you need to contact her about something." "No need," Spencer quickly said. "Why would you meet her?" Connor said, "I don't really want to see her. It's just... I thought you might still have some feelings for her. After all, Ariana is pretty cunning. I don't think many men can see through her intentions." Spencer frowned. "What feelings could I have? Who likes cunning women? If that's all. I'm hanging up!" Connor put down his phone and smiled to himself. He had been preparing for months. And now, he could finally seek out Ariana without raising Spencer's suspicions. Spencer would certainly have been suspicious if Conn

Chapter 287

Jensen's relationship with Spencer was terrible, and his relationship with Connor was equally bad. When Jensen saw Connor's annoying smile, his face grew colder. "What are you doing here?" "Waiting for someone." Connor glanced at his watch. "But what about you? What brings you to this middle of nowhere?" "You're not waiting for Ari, are you?" Jensen scoffed. "Still looking to get scolded, just like old times?" In elementary school, their relationship wasn't as hostile. Back then, Connor would wait at Ariana's door to walk to school together. But he had always been a jerk. He would say things that provoked Ariana to scold him before slinking away. Ariana lived with her grandparents at that time, who were quite nice to Connor. Because of them, Ariana and Connor had occasional ceasefires. That was until Connor announced he liked one of her friends. It was followed by the love letter incident, which led to their final falling out. But before that, Connor often used visiting A

"Just do your work," Jensen said. "I'm not interfering anyway. Whenever you're done, we can just grab a meal together." "You should go to the capital for ten days and have fun," Ariana said. "There's not much scenery at this place. What's the point of you staying here? Don't worry about me. I'll eat properly." "I know." Jensen smiled. "It's not that I'm worried. This place might not be famous, but it's less hectic. I just want to relax during my vacation." Ariana frowned. "Why won't you listen?" "It's fine." Jensen poured her a glass of water. "You focus on your work. Don't mind me." After some thinking, Ariana told him the truth, "I might... have to go on a business trip." Jensen was taken aback. "Where to?" Although this research center was said to be a collaboration project between the hospitals and other units, it was actually wholly funded by Jensen. He was one of the investors. While not involved in research matters, he would get a direct share of any future profi

Jensen took a bite of dessert. "Don't try to stop me, either." "You!" Ariana was furious as she sat there, breathing heavily. After a few minutes of silence, she said, "Fine! You won't go back? I'm calling your parents right now." "Go ahead." Jensen remained unmoved. "While you're at it, tell them how dangerous the place is. Let them get ready to bury their son..." "Shut up!" Ariana was livid. "How can you say such things?" Jensen said, "What you're feeling right now is exactly how I felt earlier." Ariana couldn't argue with him and just sat there, fuming. She was usually cool and composed around others. But she would always show her true emotions to her close friends. Seeing her puffed up with anger, Jensen couldn't help but smile. "Come on. If you can go there, why can't I? Am I inferior to you in medical skills or physical ability?" "That's not what I'm upset about," Ariana said. "This isn't in your plan. You only want to go because of me. Besides, in a place like th

Ariana was among them. Connor flew into a rage. Summoning his mole, he wished he could give him a good beating. "Why didn't you tell me Ariana was going to the border?" The man replied, "You didn't ask." "Do I need to ask? Didn't I say to tell me everything about her?" "Oh.""What do you mean, 'oh'?" "That means I understand, and I'll tell you next time." "What's the use of telling me this now? She's already gone!" After his outburst, Connor knew being angry was useless and a waste of time. The urgent matter was what to do next. The chances of getting Ariana to return were slim. He had managed to come this far. But if he went to the border, his intentions would be too obvious. After all, he hadn't expanded his business there yet. It wouldn't be good if Spencer grew suspicious. While Connor was worrying, Ariana and Jensen had already arrived. With ongoing conflicts between the two countries, the border had seen years of warfare. The locals there were suffering great
