Dead at Heart (Ariel and Jayson) novel Chapter 733

Even Stanley was taken aback.

He knew Cecilia well.

She had been pampered since childhood, born into privilege and raised in comfort, which naturally made her arrogant and willful. She got whatever she wanted and had never known hardship. People fawned over her everywhere she went.

And now, Jayson was forcing her into a rehabilitation facility?

That would be a devastating blow to her, to both her pride and her mind. It would be no different from completely humiliating her.

Jayson, of course, understood that perfectly.

Without him, someone like Cecilia would glide through life unscathed. That kind of place would never touch her. Even if this scandal had broken on its own later, she would have emerged unscathed without so much as a stain on her reputation.

But he wasn't giving her an out. He was going to strike where it hurt most.

He ignored Samson and looked straight at Stanley. "Of course, there's a condition. During these three years, neither the Pryce family nor the Ulmer family should give Ms. Pryce any special treatment. She must… go through full treatment."

There was no leniency at all.

Samson noticed the cold ruthlessness beneath Jayson's calm exterior. He was out to break Cecilia completely.

"Mr. Larkin, are you fine with turning the Pryce and Ulmer families into enemies?" Samson smirked.

Jayson was clearly here to threaten them over what happened with Ariel. He didn't mind taking everyone down with him.

But it was just an embryo!

Jayson leaned back and looked at him. "When Ms. Pryce did those things, did the Pryce and Ulmer families consider the consequences of opposing the Larkin family? I'm only doing this to protect your reputation and status."

"Are we supposed to thank you for that?" Samson sneered, his expression icy.

He understood all too well what Jayson really meant. It was a practical problem.
