Chapter 421

Ariana returned to Orkney for business. She had to sign some contracts and handle authorizations for some previous patents. This time, she did not bring Sienna and Boa along. Though they did not have urgent matters, she felt their lives should not revolve around hers all the time. She was also wary of Boa potentially dragging her to more nightlife spots. Besides, this Orkney trip would only take two to three days. She would be signing a contract with her previous research institute, which was being authorized for two of the patents. Other patents involved different business partners. Ariana had assumed contract signing would simply involve signatures and stamps in an office. She was surprised when she was invited to Evergreen Springs Resort instead. When she asked the institute about it, they explained the business partners wanted an opportunity to build a good relationship with her. Since she was the one being invited, Ariana agreed. Her initial assumption was not wrong—cont

Faced with their big boss, one clever girl said, "The lady who just left doesn't seem to like the smell of cigarettes."Zane finally looked down at the cigarette between his fingers. He had been smoking for 20 years and could not quit. He took another drag before turning to leave. He was not in a rush, as there would be more opportunities later.Less than ten minutes after he left, another guest came to check in at the front desk. The man was tall. He carried an air of elegance and an even more impressive physique. His face was as handsome as a movie star's but with an added air of nobility. After completing the check-in process, Spencer took his room key and headed upstairs. He had timed his arrival carefully in the hope that his room would be near Ariana's. He was not wrong, mainly because Zane had not dared to give Ariana the best room. Zane was afraid she might suspect something, and this actually worked out in Spencer's favor. Spencer had just stepped out of the elevator

Ariana took the elevator to her scheduled meeting. She briefly met with her business partners before returning straight to her room. First Zane, then Spencer. Staying put in her room would surely keep her out of trouble, right? She would leave right after signing the contract. Back in her room, she got another call from Boa. "That jerk Zane is there for you too. Watch yourself," Boa said bluntly."I know. I'm staying in and not going out. I'll leave as soon as I sign the contract," Ariana replied. Boa sighed. "You're just too amazing. These guys might not have much else going for them, but they've got good taste." Ariana chuckled softly. "I'm not that amazing. Otherwise, I wouldn't be divorced." "What are you talking about? You divorced because you didn't want that bastard Spencer, not because you got dumped. Besides, the fact he's still chasing you so hard just proves how great you are. "You think these rich guys are dumb? Their money didn't fall from the sky. They're s

Ariana said, "Mr. Marshall, since you're being direct, I'll do the same. I'm not interested in you. Sorry, but I'd prefer to keep things strictly professional.""Not even a small chance, Dr. Lubove?" "None," Ariana said. Zane laughed, a mix of amusement and irritation. This was the first time a woman was bold enough to shut him down like that. "Alright." He held up his toolbox. "How about we just be friends, then? Or at least let me fix your shower?" "Not interested." Ariana stood her ground. "I've made myself clear, and you heard me. There's no need for this. Please leave, Mr. Marshall."Zane had never been so thoroughly rebuffed in his life. As a kid, people respected him for his family's clout. As an adult, he had earned respect on his own. Now, here he was, being completely rejected by a woman. He nodded with a smile. "Fair enough, Ariana. You really are something else. Guess I was right about you." Ariana slammed the door in his face. Zane chuckled to himself outsi

"Who is it?" Ariana asked, not planning to open the door. "It's me, Ari," Spencer replied from outside. "What do you want?" Hearing the chill in Ariana's voice, Spencer sighed silently. He said, "Grandpa had a checkup last month. He wants you to look at the results." Even as she suspected Spencer might be using this as an excuse to see her, Ariana could not refuse. She opened the door. "What's wrong with Grandpa?" Spencer came in with the medical report. Ariana took it and started reading right away, not even sitting down. Enrique's results were mostly okay, just high blood lipids. His cholesterol and triglycerides were a bit elevated, especially the LDL. After reading, Ariana had a good idea of the situation. "I'll call Grandpa later." "There's one more thing I wanted to ask you." Seeing his serious face, Ariana did not hesitate to say, "Go on." "I got a few punches defending your honor earlier. Could you patch me up?" Ariana's brows furrowed instantly. "Defendin

"Just go.""Ari..." "I'm tired." Spencer got up and whispered as he walked past her, "I'm sorry." After he left, Ariana zoned out for a while. The doorbell rang again. She frowned, assuming it was Spencer back for more. She yanked the door open. "You—" But it was Zane standing at the door. His face looked as bad as Spencer's—they had clearly given as good as they got. Ariana wondered if he was here for first aid, too. She wished she had some poison handy to teach them a lesson. While she was still deep in thought, Zane asked, "Surprised to see me?""What do you want?" Ariana replied coolly. Despite his beaten face, Zane looked at ease. "Not going to invite me in?" "No," Ariana said bluntly. "Say what you need to say, or I'm closing the door." "Fair enough," Zane said calmly. "You're going to keep your promise, right?" Ariana was confused. "What did I promise?" "About the necklace. You said you'd treat me to dinner." Ariana sighed. She had meant it as a polite

Boa explained the situation to Ariana. Ariana thought for a moment and understood. Rowan and Zane were in cahoots. Zane must have called Rowan to bring Boa here, who probably had no idea why. Ariana decided not to tell Boa, as she did not want to cause a fight between her and Rowan. They bickered enough as it was, and Ariana did not want to be the reason for another argument. Sure enough, she soon got a message from Zane. "Ready for dinner now?" Half an hour later, the four of them were seated in the resort restaurant. Zane's gaze on Ariana was intense and unabashed. Ariana did not look at him, but she could feel his eyes on her. After a couple of glances, Boa was fuming. "What are you staring at? Have some manners!" Zane had always been brazen even in his youth. Now that he had made a name for himself, what did he have to be cautious about? He grinned and said, "Can't a man appreciate beauty?" His blatant flirting infuriated Boa. "How shallow! No wonder Ari's not inter

Rowan looked to Ariana for help. Sure enough, Ariana spoke up, "Boey, you should go. I'll be fine." "What could possibly be so urgent at his place?" Boa scoffed. "This is probably just something they cooked up together. Let's not fall for it!" The two men were at a loss dealing with Boa. In the end, Ariana managed to convince her to leave. After all, Zane had not finished eating yet. Ariana could not just up and leave. With the third wheel finally gone, Zane felt like he could breathe easier. He wanted to light up a cigarette but held back. He had noticed Rowan, another heavy smoker, had not lit up, either. It was probably because of Boa. If Rowan could resist, so could he. "It's so hard to just have a meal with you, Ari." Ariana replied, "Mr. Marshall, you and I are from different worlds. And please, just call me by my name." "Everyone else calls you Ari. Even Rowan does. Why can't I?" Rowan only did that because Boa did so. Ariana did not want to argue about it. They

Chapter 429

When Spencer heard that Zane was having dinner with Ariana, he rushed over. But when he found Ariana sitting alone at a table set for four, he felt somewhat relieved. Ariana was still there because she had agreed to be friends with Zane. She had realized that Zane was the type to do whatever he wanted regardless of anyone's opinions. He had a roguish air about him that Spencer lacked. With Spencer, Ariana felt confident enough to yell or fight back. But Zane... She did not dare provoke him. Given the choice, being friends was definitely the safer option. Once she wrapped things up here, she would pick up her son and bury herself in the lab for months. She would not see any "friends" for a long time. And Zane would surely lose interest eventually. That was her plan, anyway. Then, she looked up and saw Spencer. As one headache left, another arrived. With Zane, Ariana had felt a bit guilty. But with Spencer, she would not give him an inch. She grabbed her phone and got up to lea

Chapter 430

Connor had been more restrained in front of Spencer. But Spencer could still tell that the former had repeatedly put down Ariana while praising Irene. Whatever was going on between Spencer and Ariana was their business as a couple. Connor had clearly overstepped. But it was obvious why Connor dared to do this—it was because of Spencer's own attitude. George said, "Girls are sensitive. Who wouldn't be hurt hearing that stuff? So Ari's angry. Your pursuit might be tough, but don't give up. Where there's a will, there's a way. You know that better than I do." Spencer replied, "I'm not discouraged, and I'm not giving up. I asked you out to get advice on how to win her back." "You've come to the right person," George said. "I may not be an expert on much, but I've got winning over women down to a science."… While they were discussing Connor, the subject of the talk was totally unaware that Spencer was now avoiding him. He had been busy contacting Irene these days. Connor had
