Chapter 737
Arted didn’t really have any special feelings about Lucas‘ current attitude. She shook her heart calmly “We’re even, Lucas i don’t care alwait any of that stuff anymore. Whether you knew or misunderstood, it doesn’t matter
to me
Her indifferent tone made Lucas‘ expression flicker. “How can you not blame me? I came here today to tell you that Morgan’s in big troulde Sanderson Group is being pressured by multiple companies. They’re trying to force alary and have driven the stock price to the floor. It won’t last long. You should know this was all fayson’s doing He’s going all out against Morgan ”
Laicas didn’t even dare ask about Ariel’s health. He just wanted to avoid the topic for now. As long as Ariet showed she needed him, he would do anything for her
“ho?” Ariel asked
“Morgan’s your biological father, but Jayson doesn’t seem to care about that. He doesn’t even care aboutyourfeelings,” Laicas said.
Ariel gave a small smile.“Do you know how Morgan treated me? You don’t need to sugarcoat it. Morgan got you thrown in jail Don’t you want revenge? Will you really let him off the hook? When the time comes, will you even consider that he’s my father?”
Lucas‘ expression darkened because he could see that Ariel’s stance toward Jayson was different. It was so painfully clear that it made him ache all over.
And of course, Ariel’s words rang true,
Jayson had made the first move, and Lucas followed suit, claiming a share of the acquisition. He was just trying to struggle and salvage something
However, Ariel sided with Jayson.
She didn’t want to talk more with Lucas.
She turned to leave, but fucas panicked and grabbed her hand. “Ari, forget him. Let’s go back to how things were just forgive me, and I’ll do anything”
Aries glanced down at his hand, then shook her head. “Lucas, you don’t get it. You’re the only one stuck in the best. I don’t love you. You’re not asking for forgiveness. You still think that just because you want something, I’ll obediently do as you say. You’re still as self–centered and arrogant as ever. Let me make myself clear. I will never be with you.”
Just as Ariel tried to pull away, her phone rang, It was the landline at the marital home.
She answered and heard Georgia’s voice. “Mrs. Larkin, could you comeback? Mr. Larkin seems unwell. He doesn’t look ”
Suddenly, it made sense why Jayson hadn’t reached out. He had been running himself ragged over her and couldn’t hold up any longer.

If someone with Jayson’s physique could collapse, he must be seriously ill.

She frowned at once. Without even glancing at Lucas, she pulled her hand free. “Okay, I’ll be there soon.”
Lucas saw it all happen. Since he was up close, he even heard the conversation.
A wave of jealousy surged through him, turning his eyes red and clouding his thoughts. He ground his teeth and said, “Ariel, I grew up with you. How could Jayson ever compare to what we have?”
Ariel slowed her steps. In the end, she replied, “Yes, we’ve known each other a long time. But when it comes to sincerity, you can’t compare to him.”
Jayson had caused her some pain in the past, but she couldn’t deny the help he had given her openly and quietly. He hadn’t even demanded anything in return.
She couldn’t deny that, even if things between them had grown tense.
Ariel left with determination.
Lucas‘ breathing grew rapid and shallow. He clutched his chest and gasped. He felt as if he were watching her slip further and further away.
With that thought in mind, the shadows in his eyes grew darker and darker.
