Jade pondered for a moment and decided not to provoke Caelan today.

However, she made his favorite lemonade and some cookies to show her sincerity. She wrote a brief note explaining what had happened and placed it on a tray.

She went to Caelan's door with the tray and gently knocked.

The lights were on inside, but there was no response. She cleared her throat and said, "I made something for you. It's outside the door. Remember to bring it in."

There was still no response from inside.

Jade knew that Caelan would never come out as long as she stood there. As such, she left the tray and returned to her own room.

After taking a shower, she went to bed.

The following day, as Jade headed to work, she intentionally glanced at Caelan's door. To her disappointment, the things she had left there hadn't been touched.

As Jade hesitated whether to knock on the door, Samuel called. "Ms. Severin, everything you asked me to prepare is ready."

"So fast?" Jade was surprised. She had only giv

    "You commissioned someone to hurt one of my arms, so I had them hurt two of yours. You commission someone to hurt one of my legs? I'll take your life," Jade told Giselle coldly, shoved past her, and strode away.Giselle stood in place, feeling a chill creeping up from her feet.The look in Jade's eyes just now was so fierce as if she wanted to tear her apart. Now she truly believed that Jade wasn't just bluffing. The event this morning was Jade's warning to her.Jade thought that the hospital couldn't keep Giselle any longer. She was like a time bomb, ready to explode at any moment. If she could use her position to buy substandard equipment this time, who knew what horrifying actions she might take next?Jade went directly to Roger and explained her intentions."What?! You want to fire Giselle?" Roger's heart nearly stopped in shock, and he looked conflicted as he stared at Jade. "Even though I have the authority to fire Giselle, how do I explain this to the Withrows?"Jade looke

    Giselle growled and angrily threw a card in front of the security guard.The crowd of onlookers grew larger, all pointing and commenting about Giselle.Unable to bear the condemning looks, Giselle grabbed her bag and fled.Passing by Jade's office, Giselle glared at her resentfully and said, "Jade, we'll see."Her gaze was like that of a venomous snake, extremely frightening.Several nurses from the nurses' station turned pale with fear."Oh my god, I didn't expect Giselle to be so terrifying.""Yeah, who would've thought? I hope she doesn't do anything worse to Jade.""Jade, you should be careful."People kindly reminded Jade.Seeing everyone on high alert, Jade reassured them, "Don't worry. I'll be fine."She had Owen secretly protecting her, so Giselle wouldn't have a chance....School was about to start, and Jade was busy preparing her company as well.After inspecting Jade's laboratory, Colin finally agreed to her request and became the company's medical consultant.

    "Put it off," Caelan said.Samuel was surprised. "What about the dinners?""Cancel them too."Caelan walked away briskly.Samuel was dumbfounded, staring at him as if he were a monster. "Cancel them?"Wasn't today's meeting very important? How could he easily cancel it?!…"To celebrate our company's official establishment, I'm treating everyone tonight. Order whatever you like. It's on me." Jade raised her glass with a cheer and clinked it with everyone else in the restaurant.After so many days of hard work, the company was finally established. It was of great significance, so Jade was happy.Colin and his students raised their glasses to toast, and they all downed their drinks. After a round, Jade felt a bit tipsy, and so did the others.Seeing everyone a bit tipsy, Colin called for a halt. "Alright, let's stop here today. We have important things to do tomorrow, so let's not drink too much and sabotage ourselves.""The professor is right. Let's call it a night." Jade's f

    Jade didn't expect Giselle to suddenly involve her. Just as she was about to retaliate, she heard Cooper's voice, now cold. "Giselle, how can you say such things?"Giselle was furious. "Wow, Cooper, you've been doing things behind my back, and yet you still defend her. Today, it's either her or me." Why was everyone protecting Jade, even Cooper?"Giselle, you're overreacting. Jade and I aren't what you think," Cooper explained.Unfortunately, Giselle didn't listen to his explanation. She glanced at Jade standing nearby, and a malicious thought suddenly crossed her mind. "You've always liked me, right? If you slap her in front of me, I'll be your girlfriend. How about that?"Cooper looked incredulous.Jade looked at Giselle and smirked disdainfully. "Who do you think you are? Why should everyone obey your orders? In the Withrows, you might be the heiress, but you're nothing but a parasite who only knows how to cause trouble in my eyes. I see no value in you except for stirring up

    "Can you stop bringing this up?" Cooper was exasperated. He liked Giselle because she was attractive and they were in the same social circle, so he had the idea of pursuing her.After today's incident, he saw Giselle's true colors and regretted it deeply.Seeing his grim expression, Jade knew she had hit a nerve and decided to drop it. "Okay, I won't ask anymore."Both of them avoided the topic, and the silence felt awkward."I heard you started a company?" Cooper asked.Jade replied casually, "Yeah, a pharmaceutical company. We just got it set up, so we came out to celebrate."What Jade didn't continue to say was: "Then I ran into you, unfortunately."She was afraid that Cooper would think of Giselle again."A pharmaceutical company?" Cooper's voice was raised as he looked surprised. "I didn't expect that. You seem so young, but you're quite ambitious."Jade rolled her eyes at him. "Ambitious? That's called having a career ambition.""Alright, it's a career ambition." Cooper

    Giselle was already planning to leave but patiently continued to listen when she heard Neve speak like that. It was because she saw that Neve harbored a great deal of resentment toward Jade from her face. The enemy of her enemy would be her friend, and Giselle was in need of a "kindred spirit" kind of ally."Don't be fooled by her seemingly aloof demeanor. In reality, she is the worst, most shameless woman in the world." Neve brimmed with resentment whenever Jade was mentioned."Because of her, my mother ended up in prison for life and my grandmother dismissed my father from his job. Even my brother, who was supposed to take over the Severin Group, couldn't do so because of her instigation. Even I..." At this point, Neve squeezed out a few fake tears, crying with red eyes.Giselle completely believed Neve's words and asked eagerly, "What happened to you?""My innocence was also ruined by her," Neve cried bitterly.Giselle gasped in shock. "So, the entire Severin family has suffere

    Giselle finally showed a hint of a smile. It sounded like a good deal to have someone deal with Jade without her having to lift a finger."How am I supposed to trust you just with your words alone?" Giselle asked skeptically."To bring Jade down, we need to first dissolve her marriage with Caelan. She's nothing without the Fitzgeralds' backing," Neve said venomously."And how do you plan to bring her down?" Giselle asked curiously.Neve smiled mysteriously and whispered in Giselle's ear, "As long as something major happens to her company, do you think the Fitzgeralds will still want her?"The malice in Neve's eyes flashed before it was gone, but it left Giselle feeling jittery.An incident that would collapse a company would be an illegal one, wouldn't it?Neve squeezed Giselle's hand. "What are you afraid of, Giselle? If anyone should be afraid, it should be Jade, right?"Giselle's hand felt cold, clearly shaken. She said somewhat flustered, "I don't understand what you're say

    "A little?" Caelan frowned, observing Jade's flushed face and the overwhelming scent of alcohol. How dare she tell him she had only had a little to drink.Jade felt her scalp tingle under his gaze and had to admit honestly, "Today is the first day of my company's establishment, so I drank a bit more out of happiness."Caelan glanced at her, then strode past her and sat down on the couch.The air felt lighter once he left.Jade sighed in relief and couldn't figure out why he was there, sitting there with such a frosty expression."Have you eaten?" Jade asked, trying to appease him.Caelan raised an eyebrow at her. "No.""No?" Jade sneaked a glance at the clock on the wall. It was already 8:30 p.m., and he still hadn't eaten. Could it be that he had been waiting for her all this time?As soon as this thought occurred to her, she hurriedly denied it. Caelan would never wait for her. His appearance there could only be described as an accident."Shall I make you some pasta?" she te

    Chenelle's words made Jade clench her fists in anger. For someone so heartless, she really wanted to wake her up with a good beating.Taking a step forward, Jade grabbed Chenelle by the collar.Chenelle screamed, thinking Jade was about to hit her, and retreated in fear. "What are you doing? Do you want to hit me again?!"'So, she can also feel fear.'Jade sneered coldly, rolling up her sleeves to show the scars on her arm. "While you complain about the world's injustices, open your eyes wide and see that not everyone is as fortunate as you."I was also adopted, but compared to you, our lives are worlds apart. While you resent not getting enough attention, others are struggling to find their next meal. When you let jealousy drive you to harm others, some people are just praying to survive."Chenelle, you truly don't appreciate the blessings you have."Jade's fair arm was covered in scars of various sizes—burns, cuts, and a long stitched wound that looked like a centipede.

    Chenelle forcefully shook off Jade's hand, her eyes filled with venom as she spat, "You bitch! Stop pretending to be so righteous. I despise people like you the most. Do you think the Fitzgeralds adopted me out of kindness? No, it's because they felt guilty."Her face twisted with intense hatred, her gaze sweeping across everyone in the hall with a sharp, accusatory edge.When her eyes landed on Kennedy, her resentment peaked. "Ever since I stepped into the Fitzgerald household, you've treated me with hostility, never once showing me a kind face."My efforts to make you happy were like a dog desperately seeking attention. When you were in a good mood, you were somewhat kind to me, but when you weren't, you completely ignored me. "Do you think bringing me into the Fitzgeralds would make me grateful? No, it won't. I hate you. I hate every single one of you! You took away my only family and snuffed out the last bit of warmth I had."If it weren't for my father trying to protect Cael

    After changing her clothes, Jade applied light makeup while standing in front of the mirror. As she gazed at her rosy reflection, fragments of the previous night's events flickered in her mind. Her cheeks flushed, and she covered her face with her hands, fanning herself nervously. 'What to do, what to do? How should I face Caelan later?'After much hesitation, Jade decided to face him. After all, they had already crossed all boundaries. Avoiding him now would be unnecessarily dramatic. Moreover, they would be living together in the future. It wasn't practical to keep avoiding him.With this thought, Jade felt significantly more at ease. As she approached the door, she heard Caelan's voice from the living room. "Hold her there. I'm coming right over." Puzzled, Jade opened the door and looked at Caelan.He ended his call and said, "We've found the person who drugged you. I'm heading over now.""Who is it?" Jade asked angrily.Caelan gave her a deep, serious look before replying,

    'And then…' Thinking about it further, Jade couldn’t bear to continue. 'Could it be that I spent the night with Orion?!'"Morning..." The familiar deep voice sent a shiver through Jade, followed by a surge of joy enveloping her entire being. That voice, she would recognize it even in death.It was Caelan. This was Caelan's voice!Jade remained motionless, her body stiff. The swing from immense sorrow to immense joy was too overwhelming—she needed a moment to process it all."Why aren't you saying anything?" Caelan noticed Jade's odd behavior and propped himself up to look at her face, only to find her silently shedding tears.His heart clenched, and his first instinct was to apologize. "I'm sorry, last night I had no choice. Your situation was too dangerous—"Before he could finish, Jade threw herself into his arms.Caelan was at a loss, his body rigid, afraid to move a muscle.Tears dripped onto his chest, scorching his skin and softening his heart."Are you still in pain?" h

    Jade felt as if her head was about to explode, her body burning, with her organs seemingly on the verge of combustion."Jade, Jade, wake up." Caelan gently patted Jade's cheek. The moment he touched her skin, he was startled by how scalding hot she felt.Jade's eyes fluttered open in a daze, her vision blurred, unable to discern the face looming close to hers. She grasped the cool hand on her face, pressing it tightly against her skin."So cool… So cool…" Jade murmured unconsciously, her body instinctively leaning closer. She wrapped her arms around the man's neck, rubbing against him desperately. "Help me… I feel so uncomfortable, so hot."Seeing her in such a state, Caelan felt an indescribable pain in his heart. His fists clenched tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hands as he commanded Samuel, "Find out who did this."Samuel nodded. "The doctor is on his way, but we need to lower Miss Severin's temperature immediately."Caelan's eyes darkened momentarily. He bent down,

    Orion's face had turned a shade of red that was far from normal, yet he struggled to stay conscious, shaking his head with a bitter smile."I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be outsmarted."Jade's heart tightened in response. She had reserved a VIP suite in the hotel, with only two rooms on the entire floor. To ensure privacy, she had explicitly instructed that no one was to come upstairs. Now, Orion had been drugged, and she…A sudden spell of dizziness caused Jade's legs to give way. She clung to the door frame to avoid collapsing. To her horror, she realized she had been drugged too. 'Damn it! How could I have let my guard down?!'"I'll call for help. Don't move."Overwhelmed by the heat coursing through her body, Jade was on the brink of losing her sanity. In a bid to stay conscious, she dug her nails into her palm. The pain brought a moment of clarity, but it was fleeting. The heat surged back, stronger and more relentless than before. Fear crept up from Jade's feet

    Jade arrived at the hotel and easily found the floor, unlocking Room 2020. As soon as she stepped inside, she was taken aback—red roses filled the entire room, and candles burned softly in the corners, creating a romantic and cozy atmosphere.This was the result of Melanie and Tiffany’s hard work all afternoon.As Jade walked on the soft carpet, Jade's heart danced with excitement. Today, she would give herself to Caelan—she was finally going to be his woman. She had been waiting for this day for so long.Her phone buzzed with a text message. Jade opened it and saw it was from Tiffany.Tiffany: [There's a gift for you on the bed. You're welcome.]'A gift? What kind of prank is this girl up to now?'Following Tiffany’s instructions, Jade found the gift on the bed. She opened it and gasped. A few black straps connected to bits of sheer fabric!'Lingerie?' Jade’s face turned crimson, and she quickly shoved the outfit back into the box. If she wore this to see Caelan, she’d rather

    Caelan: [Alright, go ahead and get busy.]Jade felt a slight chill in her heart as she read the message from Caelan. Shouldn't he have asked where she was going? Why did he just reply with that?There was something off about Caelan's mood, but she couldn't quite pinpoint what it was.Seeing Jade lost in thought, Melanie waved her hand in front of her friend's eyes. "Hey, snap out of it. Did Caelan say when he's coming?"Jade, feeling a bit down, replied, "I haven't figured out how to tell him yet.""What's there to figure out? My goodness." Melanie grabbed Jade's phone and quickly typed a message to Caelan.Jade: [I'll be waiting for you at 5:00 p.m. in Room 2020 of Serendipitus. We need to talk.]With a flourish, she sent the message and tossed the phone back to Jade.Jade's eyes widened in shock. "Melanie, can we really do this?""Why not? Trust me, right now Caelan is probably as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof, wondering if you're going to break up with him."Tiffany c

    The car sped toward Jade's villa, coming to a stop.Caelan immediately took out his phone and called Jade. Just like before, there was no answer. While staring at the tightly shut door, Caelan's heart clenched. 'Could it be true, as Chenelle said, that Jade has fallen for Orion?'..."Hey, can't you two stop this?" Jade sighed in exasperation.She had been perfectly content at home when Tiffany and Melanie had barged in and dragged her out.To make matters worse, they had taken her phone. Their excuse was to make Caelan worry and see if he would dare to disappear again. Most importantly, they wanted to surprise him."Just relax and stay here. Tiffany and I will handle everything else," Melanie said, pressing Jade into a chair and thrusting a makeup brush into her hand. "You just focus on looking beautiful and don't worry about a thing, okay?"Jade couldn't help but laugh. "Can you two stop being so overbearing? I'm the main character here. Can't you show me some respect?"The
