The Supreme Heiress Chapter 137
"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
The Supreme Heiress Chapter 140
Neve looked at Jade with a smug expression, malice lurking in her eyes. Ever since she discovered that Jacob held the authority in the Severins now, she had been eager to see Jade looking downcast.Neve wanted to see how Jade would compete with her without Leah's affection and the Fitzgeralds' protection.Jade looked coldly at the Severin siblings, treating them like irrelevant bystanders. She ignored Neve's taunts, refusing to engage. She turned to leave, but Neve pushed open the car door and blocked her path."What's with the attitude?" It was unforgivable how Jade dared to ignore her, treating her like air. Neve tried to grab Jade's arm, but Jacob stopped her, indulgently saying, "Be nicer to Jade. After all, she's someone I want to protect."Jacob's words made Jade nauseous. She looked at Jacob with disgust, barking, "Who's someone you want to protect?"Seeing Jade's anger, Neve laughed. "I almost forgot, you're the one Jacob likes. Look at me, I have such a bad memory."Ja
The Supreme Heiress Chapter 141
Neve burst into laughter at Jade's response. This was the first time she had seen Jade look like this. Since Jacob's return, she had never laughed so happily before.Jade couldn't be bothered with the two of them and turned to leave. She was afraid that she would vomit if she stayed any longer.After walking around for a while, she had nowhere else to go, so she went to Melanie. At present, she only had this one good friend she could confide in."What?" Melanie was stunned after Jade recounted everything. She slammed the glass onto the bar, gritting her teeth. "This is disgusting."Jade drank absentmindedly, trying to calm herself down. "Melanie, do you think Grandma will really believe what they said and gradually distance herself from me?"Melanie knew what Leah meant to Jade, so she comforted her. "Of course not. She loves you so much. Even if she appears to distance herself from you, it's only to protect you.""Protect me?" Jade looked puzzled."Yeah," Melanie analyzed for h
The Supreme Heiress Chapter 142
Jade grabbed Melanie and anxiously asked, "Tell me again in detail. What are the symptoms?""My stepmother said it's dizziness, vertigo, swelling of the limbs, and his wounds take a long time to heal. I don't know how it could be like this," Melanie said, looking worried.Jade broke out in a cold sweat. The symptoms Melanie described sounded similar to the Notting virus from her previous life.The Notting virus was caused by blood infection after mosquito bites, and the initial symptoms were very similar to what Melanie described. The virus carried by these mosquitoes was as deadly as a snake's venom, causing blood to deteriorate and eventually necrose. By the time doctors realized it, it was already too late.In her previous life, when the Notting virus struck, Jade thought it was in September. What she didn't know was that some areas had already started to become infected. It was just that doctors had no idea about this virus at that time and treated it as a common illness, so th

Melanie and Jade checked into a hotel but didn't rest. They went straight to the hospital.Before their arrival, they wore masks at Jade's strong insistence.The hospital was bustling with people, and they could occasionally hear someone coughing.Jade stood in the hospital lobby and looked around as if facing a formidable enemy, making Melanie nervous. "Hey, Jade, why are you so nervous? It's like there's some scary virus going around.""Let's go upstairs first." Jade didn't have time to explain to Melanie, so they went straight upstairs and found John's hospital room.John didn't expect Melanie to suddenly return, and his eyes welled up after not seeing his daughter for so long. "Melanie, w-why are you suddenly back?"John lay on the hospital bed, looking tired, but it was as if his illness had suddenly improved when he saw Melanie. He struggled to sit up and held onto Melanie's hand tightly.Melanie instantly burst into tears. In her family, only her father treated her sincer
The Supreme Heiress Chapter 144
John nodded with a smile, but Jade's heart was heavy. Even without detailed examination reports, she was 90% sure that John had indeed been infected with the Notting disease."Dad, I'm back." Melanie brought water and a lot of food. She put everything down and said, "Jade, thank you."Jade came to her senses and replied, "I'll be right back."Without waiting for Melanie to react, she left the ward.Jade found John's attending physician, Tyler Emerson, and tactfully said, "Hello, I'm Jade Severin, a student of Professor Colin Fisk. I'd like to discuss John Newell's condition with you."Colin had a significant influence in the medical field, and his students were scattered across the country. Jade claimed to be his student to borrow his prestige, hoping to dispel any hostility from these doctors. Otherwise, she'd be seen as crazy for discussing a patient's condition without any credentials."You're Professor Fisk's student?" Tyler let down his guard upon hearing Colin's name. Being

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. Althou

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
The Supreme Heiress Chapter 773
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
The Supreme Heiress Chapter 771
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
The Supreme Heiress Chapter 770
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 Supreme Heiress Chapter 769
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
