Matt shrugged and tilted his chin, signaling Frederick to look over there. “Her husband hasn’t said a word yet. You might want to hold off.”
Frederick froze and instinctively nced at Jayson. His expression flickered between pale and flushed, but he had noeback.
Nancy still thought Ariel came today to pressure her. After all, the giarism incident happened so long ago. Was it really worth quarreling over it now?
It was probably just that the terms hadn’t met her expectations.
Or maybe… Ariel’s real goal was to pull her away from Jayson.
Nancy frowned, a trace of mockery flickering in her eyes She looked at Ariel and spoke deliberately, “Ms. Walker, don’t be so confident. I can keep raising my chips. If you’re willing to negotiate, I have a top–secret offer to trade.
“It’s about national talent recruitment. You’ll get the chance to join a key research project. I imagine that’s something you’d be very interested in.”
Nancy felt that if Carlos brought this up to Ariel, it wouldn’t be fair, so she probably didn’t know about it
yet.
If she could bring it up before Carlos, it would make a pretty good bargaining chip.
Ariel nced at Nancy. Though Nancy didn’t say it outright, Ariel instantly understood what she meant.
She nced behind Nancy toward Jayson, who met her gaze calmly. Between them, some unspoken understanding seemed to pass.
Ariel immediately realized that Nancy definitely knew about the national talent recruitment and the chance to participate in the sixth–generation fighter jet project
Jayson sure received the news quickly.
If Nancy entered thepetition and seeded, that would be a realeback.
Especially now that thewsuit was still in its early stages and Sarah’s guilt hadn’t been determined, Nancy hadn’t yet faced any major legal trouble.
Participating in thepetition before the trial would basically clear her name.
That was why Nancy was trying to trade this opportunity for thewsuit’s settlement.
Noticing Ariel’s silence, Nancy sized her up and quietly grew confident.
Ariel had been ambitious all this time, writing papers and stepping in as a lead for the project’s system development. There was no way she wouldn’t be tempted by the bait she was offered.
Nancy herself had just learned about this yesterday.
Jayson had rmended her to apply. The spots were limited and needed filtering. Since Nancy was born domestically and held local citizenship, she couldpte.
However, Jayson still helped her clear this uncertainty. As the main sponsor, he invested 500 million dors to expand thepetition. So things would be smoother for Nancy.
Jayson always cared deeply about her. Nancy understood his intentions clearly this time.
As long as she won thepetition and advanced to the final stage, she would secure pre–selection for the research team.
She was confident she could get in if she stood out enough.
By then, all recent troubles would be behind her. The Larkin family wouldn’t find faults with her anymore, and they would…
As Nancy had said before, no matter how many research papers Ariel wrote, she might not be a match on the real battlefield. So Nancy figured that giving Ariel this information was a harmless act of charity.
Ariel found Nancy’s haughty tone extremely amusing. Even Chad clicked his tongue in disbelief. That was some serious confidence.
If Nancy ever found out Ariel had not only the direct entry to thepetition but also direct ess to the sixth–generation fighter jet project and future department selection, would she still be so cocky?
“Ms. Walker, this is a fair deal. Opportunities like this don’te often.” Nancy looked at Ariel coldly.
She thought Ariel probably didn’t understand how valuable this opportunity was, which was almostughable.
Ariel wanted to climb up with her skill level? Ridiculous.
Just as Ariel was about to respond, a suddenmotion came from upstairs.
One of Veyo Solutions‘ executives rushed down with a troubled expression. Seeing Jayson, he scanned the room nervously before saying, “Ms. Stanton is in trouble.”
