After Laura left, Jade pushed Cooper aside. "Why did you let Laura misunderstand?"Cooper shrugged nonchalantly. "I had to do something to stop her from pestering me. If I didn't divert her attention to you, who knows how long she'd keep bothering me."Jade rolled her eyes at him and walked ahead, but Cooper stuck to her like a fly. "Wait up! Where are you going?""I'm going to eat. Do me a favor and don't follow me, okay?"Cooper's eyes lit up. "Perfect, I haven't eaten either. Let's go together."Dealing with someone as shameless as him rendered Jade speechless.They found a restaurant and sat down.Jade intended to order something casual, but Cooper ended up ordering a feast—appetizers, mains, desserts, soup, the works.Jade frowned at him. "Can you finish all of these?" Cooper replied with a confident smile, "Of course I can."As they began to eat, Jade couldn't shake off the image of Laura's gaze when she left. She asked Cooper, "What's your deal with her?""What deal?

Unfortunately, Lloyd failed. Jade wasn't pretending—she genuinely wasn't afraid.Retracting his probing gaze, Lloyd waved his hand to dismiss his men and put on a smile again. "Don't misunderstand, I have no ill intentions. If possible, I'd like to have a chat with you.""A chat? About what?" Jade remained stern as she kept her eyes on Lloyd, her sharp gaze cutting through him.Lloyd felt uneasy under Jade's stare as he sensed her hostility, which seemed deeper than mere caution toward a stranger. It felt more like a profound enmity.Upon reflection, though, he realized he hadn't had any conflicts with Jade before. Their few encounters had all been at school.'Oh, I remembered now. Is it because of the incident with my father's pharmaceutical company stealing Jade's medicine?' Lloyd had been unaware of it at the time but didn't find it surprising even after learning about it later. After all, business was like warfare, where it was often the survival of the fittest.Despite that,

Neve didn't expect Lloyd to agree to the date, let alone prepare a gift for her. She sat excitedly, unable to keep still. She meticulously applied her makeup and selected her outfit, fearing she might give Lloyd a bad impression.Neve excitedly messaged Jacob.Neve: [Jacob, Lloyd agreed to go on a date with me!] Jacob: [Stay calm. Don't panic. Lloyd doesn't like frivolous women. Don't be too forward.]Neve: [Okay, got it. You've told me he likes innocent girls.]Jacob encouraged her.Jacob: [Yeah, be careful with your words. Good luck.] Neve took a few deep breaths before grabbing her keys and heading out. Before enrolling at Clotheap University, Jacob had purchased a sports car to bolster her image as a stunning heiress. With Jacob's meticulous construction of Neve's persona, she had garnered a devoted fan base at school.She drove to the restaurant and was escorted to her seat by Lloyd's assistant. To catch Lloyd's attention, she wore a long, off-shoulder dress. Her wavy ha

Lloyd, having grown up abroad, had only returned to the country in recent years. He didn't know much about Jade's situation, only that the Severins had adopted her. The reason he asked about her was solely to allow Neve to carry the conversation.As expected, Neve reacted strongly when Jade's name was mentioned. Her smile instantly turned cold, but due to her status, she forced a smile and said, "She was spoiled since childhood, so it's natural for her to hold grievances against me."Seeing Neve initiate the conversation, Lloyd poured her a glass of wine and asked gently, "What's wrong?"Neve longed to tear Jade apart at the mere mention of her, yet she maintained an outward facade of weakness and helplessness before Lloyd.Wiping her eyes with a tissue, she said tearfully, "She was adopted into my family when we were young. My parents took her in out of pity, and as her elder sister, I always accommodated her. But she became increasingly dissatisfied, competing with me for my pare

Neve sat stiffly in her chair, her mind blank. By the time she snapped out of it, Lloyd was already holding her hand, leading her to the floor-to-ceiling window and gently embracing her."I heard your grandmother isn't feeling well. Let's go see her together another day," Lloyd said softly.Neve felt like she was dreaming. Whatever Lloyd said, she blushed and nodded shyly. "Okay, as you wish."She was immersed in the beautiful dream woven by Lloyd, unaware of the calculations and disdain that flashed in his eyes."It's getting late. I'll have the driver take you back to school."Just when Neve was fantasizing about spending the night with Lloyd, he shattered her dream with those words.She looked at him, puzzled and full of questions.Lloyd brushed her hair away from her forehead and said dotingly, "Be good, listen to me.""Mm, I'll listen to you," Neve replied, unable to think of anything else to say. She was completely lost in Lloyd's tenderness.As Lloyd's assistant escorte

Neve was unaware of Jacob's concern and innocently said, "Okay, I was just kidding. Why are you so nervous?"Jacob poked her forehead. "I'm afraid you won't even know when you're schemed and will still foolishly offer yourself." Neve just kept grinning. "Oh, by the way, Jacob, Lloyd said he wants to visit Grandma."Jacob was taken aback, unable to believe how affectionate Neve sounded when she mentioned Lloyd. Hearing that Lloyd wanted to visit Leah made him a bit doubtful. "Why does he want to see Grandma?""Of course, it's because of me. Maybe he likes me, so he wants to meet Grandma to leave a good impression on her."Jacob fell into deep thought. Lloyd's initiative to meet Leah probably wasn't as simple as Neve imagined. Nevertheless, Jacob was not afraid of Lloyd's visit. He just wanted to see what Lloyd was up to."Then let him meet her," Jacob said casually, but he was wary of Lloyd inwardly.Neve cheered, "Great, I'll tell him later."...The next day, Neve waited for

Brianna couldn't stand Neve's attitude and remained silent with her head down.Neve didn't care whether Leah agreed or not and sat beside her. In the past, she wouldn't have dared."Lloyd is here today to visit you. He's the sole heir of Zeal family, so you should cut him some slack. Maybe I'll become Mrs. Zeal," Neve warned Leah.Her attitude was arrogant and extremely disrespectful.Brianna couldn't tolerate it and reprimanded, "Ms. Neve, how could you speak to Madam in this manner?""What's wrong with my attitude?" Neve chuckled and glanced at Leah.Seeing Leah remain silent, Neve rebuked Brianna, "I'm the master, and you're the servant. Even if I've done something wrong, it should be Grandma who scolds me. How dare a servant like you reprimand me? Believe me, I can kick you out immediately."Everyone knew the importance of Brianna to Leah—calling them sisters wouldn't be an exaggeration. In this mansion, no one dared to reprimand Brianna like this apart from Leah. Yet, Nev

Lloyd also saw Leah's unusual demeanor but didn't notice Neve's expression. He stepped forward to greet Leah."Good day, Madam," he said respectfully and calmly, showing no flaws in either manners or language.Leah glanced at him, noting his suave appearance and the discerning gleam in his eyes framed by gold-rimmed glasses. She had encountered countless people, giving her the ability to discern whether someone was cunning or kind with just a single glance.Lloyd had a very scheming mind."Have a seat." Leah smiled and gestured.Neve smiled again, seeing that Leah hadn't embarrassed her, and sat down with Lloyd.Leah casually asked Lloyd some questions about his studies and major—just simple small talk.Lloyd politely answered each one, but Neve couldn't find a way to join the conversation. Sitting there doing nothing was too awkward, so she took the initiative to sit next to Leah. She wanted to leave Lloyd with the impression that Leah doted on her.Unfortunately, Leah was alr
