Chapter 18: Chapter 18 How Could Arlo Seys Stand By and Do Nothing?

Upon hearing this, tears that Ariel Morris had been holding back suddenly burst forth like a broken dam. She cried as she accused, "Uncle, isn’t your display of affection enough? I’m already in a bad mood, and now you’re flaunting your love!"

"Hey, young lady, I’m teaching you to cherish what you have, so you don’t end up regretting it when it’s gone."

Ariel’s face was streaked with tears as she trembled and said, "But I’ve already lost... He doesn’t want me anymore, and I have no right to have him now."

The driver sighed, "As long as you don’t regret this relationship when you look back on it when you’re old, that’s all that matters."

Arriving at her destination, Ariel got out of the car, paid the driver, thanked him, and turned to walk toward home.

This so-called home, more accurately, should be the Morris Family. And she was merely the foster daughter of the Morris Family, someone who bore the Morris name yet was an outsider in the Morris Family.

Ariel walked inside.

In the living room.

The Morris couple and their beloved daughter Scarlett Morris were having lunch at the dining table.

Seeing Ariel soaked to the skin, Damien Morris, who was in charge of the family, frowned disapprovingly, "You went out perfectly fine, how did you come back looking so bedraggled? You haven’t shown any dignity or grace of a socialite!"

Ariel, in a bad mood, said nothing, walking past them in her high heels, intending to go upstairs to shower and change clothes.

Scarlett, sitting at the table, snorted, looking at Ariel’s retreating figure, mockingly said, "Who knows where she’s been fooling around again! She’s been back for so long and hasn’t secured a single deal!"

Ariel stopped midway up the stairs, turning back to look at Scarlett, her tone calm, "If negotiations were that easy, would the Morris Clan have come to everyone begging at this point?"

Scarlett had always looked down on this sister who shared no blood relation, never missing a chance to belittle Ariel since childhood.

In her worldview, she was the real daughter of the Morris Family, and Ariel was just a foster daughter. Based on that alone, Ariel was beneath her! Ariel should cede everything to her, the true Morris daughter.

But Ariel never saw it that way, showing neither deference nor pride. Like a soft cotton flower, she was unaffected by anything, always maintaining her only attitude towards Scarlett: "Indifference!"

When they were young, Scarlett would snatch her things, and Ariel wouldn’t ask for them back, not even telling her to return them.

When they were young and Scarlett got caught doing something wrong, she would usually blame Ariel, letting Ariel take the fall. Every time Ariel got a beating from their father, she never explained.

In Ariel’s dictionary, it was unclear whether she genuinely didn’t care about anything, or she was just too lazy to engage with Scarlett. No matter how Scarlett targeted her or schemed against her, Ariel never fought back or showed any expression, always leaving Scarlett fuming with anger.

Scarlett was just about to lash out with her miss-like temper to snap at Ariel when Madam Morris, Laura Pinley, shot her a look, pinching her daughter under the table, signaling her to calm down.

Laura Pinley put on a gentle smile, looking at her foster daughter Ariel on the stairs, speaking softly, "Ariel, dear, the Morris Clan is truly in dire straits now. Didn’t you go to see Arlo Seys, the CEO of the Era Corporation today? Did he agree to help our Morris Clan?"

Ariel bit down hard on her lower lip, controlling her emotions, her eyes calm, she answered softly, "No. Not only will he not help the Morris Clan, he explicitly stated that if I appear in front of him again, he will act to suppress the Morris Clan."

Laura Pinley was stunned for a few seconds after hearing Ariel’s words before she came to, exclaiming, "How is this possible? How can Arlo Seys turn a blind eye to us?! You and Arlo were once..."

"You also know that was the past! Not now!" Ariel interrupted Laura Pinley’s words...
