Dead at Heart (Ariel and Jayson) novel Chapter 729

Even Perry's expression had turned complicated. He clenched his fists at his sides.

It would be a lie to say that he wasn't shocked.

Anyone could see Jayson's care for Ariel now. It turned out that he loved her so much.

Suddenly, a chilling thought struck Perry.

If Jayson cared for Ariel with such painstaking attention, had he really been unaware of Perry's feelings for her back then?

The idea made Perry's throat dry, and his chest felt like it was being squeezed. He turned abruptly, walking away.

Matt didn't notice at first. He quickly turned and called out, "Aren't you going in? We just said we'd eat together."

Perry didn't answer.

All of a sudden, he felt ashamed and unable to face Jayson.

Besides, he still hadn't been able to forget Ariel. He needed time to steady himself again.

…

When Samson reached the police station, Cecilia had already gone through the urine test.

The moment she saw him, her expression was icy. "I want out. Tonight."

She didn't want to stay here another second.

Samson knew Cecilia was spoiled and sheltered. She wasn't built to stomach this kind of situation.

But he still told her the truth with a cold face. "You really think running into Jayson today was just a coincidence? If he hadn't set you up, would you even be here?"

Cecilia's expression darkened.

That was the last thing she wanted to admit.

Samson gave a mocking smile. "He's probably had your dirty secrets figured out for a while. All he needed was the right opening to strike. You think you're walking out of this clean? You'd better hope the next moves he's planning don't finish you off. Tonight is only the beginning."

He could already tell Cecilia's future.

Cecilia shot to her feet. "If he dares come after me, he'd better be ready for the fallout. Going down together isn't in his best interest."

Samson could tell she was close to unraveling.

He pulled the mood stabilizers from his pocket and handed them over. "You need to get a grip. We're talking about Jayson Larkin."
