"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

It seemed like Jade couldn't slack off on those snacks.…After not seeing Leah for a month, Jade noticed that she looked a lot more worn out. She had faint dark circles under her eyes, and even her spirits seemed low.When she arrived, Leah had just finished taking her medicine and fell asleep, so she didn't disturb her and quietly went downstairs.Jade was always concerned about Leah's health and hurriedly pulled Brianna aside to ask, "What's wrong with Grandma?"Brianna sighed, feeling uneasy as she replied, "It's… it's Mr. Jacob.""Jacob?" Jade's voice rose when he was mentioned. "What did he do to Grandma?""Ever since you went on internship, he's been coming home every day to pester your grandmother about taking over the company. She couldn't stand his nagging every day, so she finally gave in."Jade couldn't hold back her frustration. "When did this happen? Why wasn't I informed?""Your grandmother said you're too busy and studying too hard, so she didn't want us to tel

Leah lovingly patted Jacob's hair. "When have I ever lied to you?"However, what Jacob said next poured cold water over her head, freezing her from head to toe."I just like someone like Jade."Leah's smile froze on her face as she tentatively asked, "Like Jade?""Yeah, just like her."Upon seeing the determined look in Jacob's eyes, Leah's heart sank. "Nonsense, she's your sister."Jacob didn't care. "She's not my blood sister, so what's there to fear? Jade is beautiful and capable. If I marry her, it might even become a tale to be praised."Leah slapped Jacob hard across the face, sternly telling him, "Don't even think about it!"Jacob was unperturbed by the slap and replied calmly, "Grandma, why are you so worked up? We live in a modern age, and you're still so old-fashioned. Are you not approving because Jade is engaged to Caelan? But you said it yourself, it's all fake. When the time is right, she'll break up with Caelan, and then I'll have a chance.""Y-You..." Leah neve
