Dead at Heart (Ariel and Jayson) novel Chapter 816

Naturally, Jayson had also taken several additional precautions.

What happened afterward was enough to show just how cold and ruthless Shane truly was. He had tried to use the Nielsen family to eliminate Jayson so that he could return to Croinia once again.

If Jayson had really died in that conflict zone, who would have been held responsible for his death?

With Bluum Corp losing its CEO, Kyle's family would definitely attempt to seize control of the business. If Shane managed to become the new CEO, Samson would certainly benefit from the arrangement.

Everything was connected.

Ariel had always known Jayson to be a careful and calculating person. Nevertheless, she couldn't help but be impressed by how insightful and far-sighted he was, especially after witnessing Samson's total downfall.

Samson could never return to Croinia after what he did to Ariel. Even if he wanted to, Stanley would never allow it. Once Samson was convicted of his crimes, it would leave a permanent stain on Stanley's political career and cause a ripple of repercussions.

With this move, Jayson had completely crushed both Samson and Cecilia.

From now on, they would have to tread carefully around him. One of them could no longer return to his homeland to pursue his dreams and ambitions, while the other might never leave her place of detention—at least not without Jayson's consent.

Showing mercy to people like them only invited trouble. By taking decisive action, Jayson had eliminated nearly all potential threats around them.

Ariel finally felt a heavy weight lift from her heart. After a brief pause, she suddenly remembered Jayson's injuries. She turned around and tugged at his collar. "I want to see if your wounds have healed."

Jayson pressed a hand to his chest to stop her. "Right now?"

Ariel shot him a glare. "What are you trying to hide? Take your hands off."

Slowly, Jayson lowered his hands.

Ariel lifted his shirt slightly to take a look. The wound on his back had completely healed. Only a faint scar remained on his chest, though it was already fading. It would take more time for that area to recover fully, but his injuries no longer caused him any major discomfort.

After about 20 days, his condition had improved considerably.
