Dead at Heart (Ariel and Jayson) novel Chapter 570

Chapter 570

Frankly, Ariel couldn’t understand people like Nancy. She had gotten used to having things her way. Despite all the trouble she had caused, Nancy shamelessly appeared at their office to see her.

While Nancy claimed that she was here to ask for Ariel’s forgiveness, she hadn’t exactly realized what

she had done wrong.

Even if she appeared meek and docile now, this was just a way for Nancy to escape punishment by the law, which she wanted to avoid at all costs.

Nancy’s expression hardened upon hearing Ariel’s blunt, caustic remarks.

The feelings of resentment that she had suppressed within her boiled over.

Still, she pushed back those feelings, her lips trembling. Although she hated Ariel’s high–and–mighty attitude, she responded meekly anyway.

“I know that you hate me. You can treat me however you want. I just hope that you’ll consider not pursuing any legal actions about what happened. You might not believe me, but I really had no idea you were the creator of those codes. I just…”

Nancy couldn’t even explain herself properly.

Did she do that in a moment of weakness? Was it because she had desperately hoped to attain what she

wanted?

“Was it only the codes?” Ariel cast her a mocking glance. “It seems you and your mother have never thought about what you’ve done wrong. Even now, you’re still looking for ways to avoid punishment, and you refuse to repent for your mistakes.

“In the past, Sarah Moore slandered my mom, causing her to become an object of scorn and ridicule. She stole the glory that was supposed to belong to my mom. My mom didn’t manage to graduate because of what Sarah did. Moreover, her then–fiance broke off the engagement with my mom.

“Sarah spotted her opportunity and tried to covet that man. Then, she prompted others to attack my mom

with various criticisms, causing my mom to fall into depression.

“My mom became too afraid to interact with other people. She was forced to give up on her dreams and studies. Later on, she was tricked into marrying someone too soon, which eventually led to her demise.

“Sarah Moore completely ruined my mother’s life. You’ve been able to enjoy a comfortable life all thanks to that wicked, cold–hearted woman. You knew very well a life had perished in exchange for all the privileges you were receiving. Do you still think you deserve forgiveness now?”

This was the first time Ariel had spoken about Elena and what happened to her.

If Sarah hadn’t betrayed Elena and tried so hard to get rid of her back then, Elena would have already become an amazing woman who exuded radiance and confidence by now.

Elena wouldn’t have developed depression, which Morgan had taken advantage of to get close to her. As a result, Elena went from one living hell to another.

That was life. One wrong step might lead to many more mistakes.

Ariel would rather she had never been born into this world so that Elena could live the life she deserved.

Even after Sarah went abroad, she would send Elena an email every year around Halread University’s graduation season, sharing about the awards she had won and the art exhibitions she had participated in.

Each year, she would also include a video recording of Nancy smiling innocently and greeting Elena. Sarah would always end her email with these remarks.

“It’s a shame you didn’t manage to graduate from the university back then. Otherwise, you’d be able to experience what I’m experiencing now as well.”

Sarah did this every year, tirelessly, to upset and agitate Elena. She finally stopped a few years ago.

Ariel had only learned of what she did at a much later time. She couldn’t believe how someone could be
