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

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

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

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

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
