As soon as he came in through the door, Chad shoved a box of fruit candies into Ariel’s hands. His brows arched. ” Guess what happened?”
Ariel opened the box and took one candy. “What happened
“Professor Jones announced on a public tform that he would no longer be Nancy’s supervisor due to the recent disputes she had gotten involved in. A lot of people from our industry have heard the news. Nancy’s seriously lost face and credibility this time with her being gued by all this negative news.”
Andre was pretty much Ariel’s senior since they were both Carlos‘ students. He had witnessed Ariel’s growth over the past few years. Naturally, Andre was infuriated upon learning how Nancy had almost seeded in damaging Ariel’s reputation.
Moreover, Nancy was facing charges that could result in her being sent to prison. Neither the university nor Andre would ept a student bearing such a negative image and risk having their own reputations ruined.
Ariel was quite surprised to hear that.
Andre had informed Nancy personally that he would not be her supervisor anymore. Ariel thought he would just take care of the issue quietly. She didn’t expect Andre to decide to make a public announcement about his decision instead.
In a way, he was showing everyone that he trusted Ariel and Faye Technologies.
The confirmation that the Veyo Solutions team had vited patent rights was nothing short of scandalous. It was obvious what the public would think of Nancy, who was involved in this incident.
“The university would probably also reconsider whether they should be epting Nancy as their student. After everything that had happened, not only would Nancy face imprisonment, but she had also lost so many precious opportunities.”
Chad snickered. He felt that Nancy had gotten what she deserved.
“I heard this other thing from Mr. White today. With Veyo Solutions being surrounded by various scandals and how their new system is actually an imitation of our flight control system, thepanies that have recently agreed to coborate with them have decided to terminate their contracts with Veyo Solutions.
“Veyo Solutions would have topensate the losses of these partneringpanies since they had vited the agreement and affected thosepanies‘ businesses.”
In other words, Veyo Solutions would be losing a lot of money this time. They had incurred a huge loss.
Ariel noticed from the start that Nancy had been too eager to bring her down with thewsuit ever since she came forward and stepped into the spotlight. Otherwise, Nancy wouldn’t have left so many of her own weaknesses exposed.
Frankly, Nancy had iting.
Chad was in a cheery mood. “Jan made a reservation for us at this restaurant. We’ll have lunch there to celebrate this!”
After hearing all that wonderful news, Chad wished he could hire some people to light some fireworks right in front of Veyo Solutions‘ building to celebrate the asion.
Ariel nodded.
The two of them headed to the ground floor. Just as they reached the entrance, Chad and Ariel spotted a stern-
faced Frederick.
He wasing toward them in big strides. Ariel slowed down and directed her gaze at him.
Frederick stopped in front of them and blocked their way. He red at Ariel. “Was it you? Did you somehow manage to talk Mr. Carlos into making Professor Jones change his mind about taking Ms. Stanton as his student?”
Ariel smirked. It seemed like Frederick hade here today to question her about her involvement in the incident.
“What’s your rtionship to her? Also, do you honestly think you’re in any ce to say that to me?”
All along, Ariel had simply ignored Frederick since she was trying to be mindful of Janice’s feelings. However<b>, </b>she saw no need to show him any respect now since Frederick was clearly here to avenge Nancy by ming Ariel for what had happened without caring about the facts.
Chad frowned and said mockingly, “Mr. Swanson, others who didn’t know better might think that you’re Nancy’s boyfriend. You seem to care about her much more than her real boyfriend does.”
Frederick stiffened. A momentter, his expression hardened. With his gaze fixed on Ariel, he spoke in an even harsher tone.
“Did I say anything wrong? Ariel Walker, do you know how unsightly it is for you to be making things so difficult for another youngdy?
“You’re trying to have her sentenced to prison, and you’ve damaged her reputation. You even used some sort of dirty tricks to convince Professor Jones not to be Nancy’s supervisor anymore. You’re absolutely vicious!”
Frederick could not even imagine how sad and helpless Nancy must be feeling right now.
Ariel’s expression turned frigid. For the first time in her life, she lost her temper. She did not hold back as she retorted sharply, “You think this situation is unfair for her? Why haven’t you stepped up when Veyo Solutions were making those baseless usations against Faye Tech, then?
“Your younger sister has invested and helped establish Faye Tech. Yet, you’re always siding with an outsider instead of your own family. Does that make any sense to you? You should probably just consider bing Nancy’s servant instead if you like her so much!”
Frederick’s eyes bulged in exasperation. He was visibly agitated and caught off guard when Ariel pointed out clearly that Frederick had not cared much about Janice and how he was too eager to please Nancy.
He instinctively raised his hand and reached for Ariel’s arm. “Ariel, watch your mouth! You should go and talk to Professor Jones<b>…</b>”
Before he couldy his hand on Ariel, someone gripped him from behind by the shoulder.
With the person applying more pressure gradually, Frederick felt as though his bones were about to get crushed. Then, he heard a man’s monotonous voice. “Mr. Swanson, are you trying to hit a woman now?<b>” </b>
