Dead at Heart novel

Chapter 795 Chapter 796 +25 BONUS Chapter 796 Ariel could only play it by ear. Following the man leading the way, she was brought to a nearby building. They went upstairs, and she couldn't help but notice how luxurious the place was. It was a stark contrast to Bellador's usual style. The gap between the rich and the poor here was staggering. Once Ariel stepped inside, the door closed behind her with a heavy thud. She frowned and turned, but before she could think further, she heard footsteps ahead.

He still had that same energy and striking good looks, but Ariel couldn't shake the feeling that there was something different about him-something she couldn't quite put into words. Samson looked at her, then turned to pour a glass of water. "If it weren't for me, you probably would've had a rough time with that man today." (2) Ariel immediately thought of the man from the Nielsen family.

But she didn't even know him. Samson didn't seem interested in explaining anything just yet. He simply raised an eyebrow at Ariel and said, "' I'm guessing you've had quite a scare. This place isn't as peaceful as Croinia. When things go south here, it's beyond what you can imagine." "Why are you here?" Ariel asked directly. Her eyes stayed calm, though deep down, she was guarded. Samson pretended not to notice and spoke as casually as if they were old friends. "For business. There's a mining deal here I need to handle, so I'm staying for a while." Ariel didn't beat around the bush.

"Then why did you take my phone?" Samson sat down, taking a sip of water as he looked at her. "My business requires discretion. It's the rule around here. If it bothers you, you'll get it back later." "Mr. Pryce, whatever your reasons for knowing where I was or why you helped me, I appreciate it. But I need to leave now. There's something important I have to do." Ariel didn't want to provoke him. After all, this was his turf. She needed to confirm Jayson's safety. Every second counted. "What's the rush?" Samson set his glass down.

Tilting his head, he asked with a faint smile, "You're looking for Jayson, aren't you?" Ariel's eyes widened. She hadn't mentioned Jayson at all. She had deliberately avoided the name, knowing there was bad blood between them. The last thing she wanted was to make things worse. 1/2 Chapter 796 +25 BONUS Samson read her expression easily. He narrowed his eyes, then shrugged. "Don't worry. I won't do anything. I already sent people to look for Mr. Larkin, so I thought it'd be better for you to stay here for now.

It's safe, and once I hear anything, you'll know right away." Ariel pressed her lips together in silence. She had no idea what Samson was thinking Was he really offering to help find Jayson? But how did he even know Jayson was here? A thousand questions swirled in her head, but she knew confronting him wouldn't help. Samson clearly didn't intend to let her leave for now. Her mind was racing, but she forced herself to stay calm and asked, "Can I make a call?" This time, Samson agreed without hesitation. "Of course." He pointed to the landline phone sitting in the corner of the living room.

Ariel was surprised. She had expected him to refuse, but if he allowed it, that was good news. She walked over and dialed the number she had memorized by heart, but the line didn't go through. Frowning, she glanced back at Samson, who was sitting there and watching her with that same relaxed smile. 1
