Chapter: 752
As an agent, Ariana relished the freedom of flexible working hours, often venturing away from the office
for extended periods on external assignments. Consequently, her daily presence at the office was
unnecessary.
Donna had never dared to intervene before.
Clearly, Donna had learned about Theodore’s demise, and those under Jasper’s command believed
the matter was settled, ready to openly suppress her, the bereaved widow.
However, it made little sense for Ariana, who had recently lost her husband, to hastily return to the
company solely based on Donna’s command.
Nevertheless, Ariana anticipated that Donna wouldn’t relinquish her grasp easily.
As expected, Donna promptly dialed again, bellowing on the other end, “You’ve got some nerve! Let
me make it crystal clear: whatever flimsy excuses you have, I expect your physical presence in the
office today! Otherwise, pack your belongings and make a hasty exit!”

sickbed, devoid of any makeup or tidiness, and made her way to the company, her face worn and
pallid.
Given Donna’s insistence, Ariana decided to return to the company and see the true intentions of those
individuals.
Reaching the office, Ariana unexpectedly bumped into Sarah at the entrance.
Caught off guard for a moment, Sarah appeared astonished to see Ariana at that hour. Approaching
with concern, she inquired, “Why aren’t you at the hospital? Are you feeling better? Why didn’t you rest
a while longer? If you were heading to the office, you could have at Least informed me, and I would
have picked you up.”
Even in Sarah’s presence, Ariana had to feign excessive grief while attempting to maintain composure.
It wasn’t that she mistrusted Sarah; rather, she was uncertain if someone was monitoring her.
Ariana forced a smile and replied, “What brought you here? Shouldn’t you be putting your new album
on record?”
Hearing Ariana’s words, a fleeting stiffness crossed Sarah’s expression, but she swiftly regained
composure, and she avoided making direct eye contact. “It’s nothing… I just happened to pass by and
thought of visiting the office. No need to worry.”
“Curious why she’s here? Well, she hit a snag. Her new album has been canceled!” a smug voice
interjected. Ariana glanced up to find Donna smirking down at her, triumphant, with Jasper in tow.
Ariana’s annoyance instantly surged, and she questioned indignantly, “Who bestowed upon you the
authority to do that? After all the preparations we made, you’re claiming it’s canceled? Why is that?”
Jasper snorted and casually tossed a document at Ariana.
The papers scattered all over the floor. Ariana clenched her teeth as she stooped down to collect them.
Looking at them, she realized they were the meticulously prepared planning and budget sheets for
Sarah’s new album.

“How did this exceed the budget?” Ariana made a face.
“Because I said so!” Jasper sneered, his tone dripping with indifference. Raising an eyebrow, he
continued, “You always received special treatment when Theodore was around. But I call the shots
around here now! !”
Special treatment? Ariana tightened her grip on the budget sheet, biting her lip.
Throughout her tenure at the company, she had never exploited her relationship with Theodore for
personal gain. Jasper’s unfounded accusations were nothing but bullying.
Suppressing her urge to engage in an argument with Jasper, she inquired, “Nevertheless, the company
should still be capable of affording this amount, correct?”
“Of course. That sum of money means zilch to the company. However, our funds naturally have more
pressing purposes than squandering them on this stupidity!”
Ariana was on the verge of snapping, but before she could retort, Sarah also couldn’t hold herself back
any longer and confronted Jasper, pointing at him and shouting, “Ariana’s reports are impeccable! Stop
spouting nonsense!”
